Summary
One sheriff declared no foul play before the investigation started. One county had complaints in hand for five years and never found the children. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the Nolan Wells death investigation and the Siders sixteen-kids case together — because the question connecting both cases is the same: what happens when the system fails first and investigates second? On Nolan Wells: what the premature no-foul-play call did to the case trajectory, the contradictions between the friends' statements and the young woman's account, the allegedly deleted messages, the friend who appeared on national television during the active investigation, and the grand jury the DA agreed to for a death publicly called a drowning. On the Siders case: the gag order silencing officials who called it pure evil, the grandfather released because the county couldn't cover his medical costs, the truancy complaints from 2021 that were never served, and Elizabeth Siders — married off at fifteen, mother of all sixteen, facing sixteen felony counts while her own attorney argues she is a victim. Two cases. One conversation. Every failure examined by a former prosecutor.
