What Went Wrong For Both Nolan Wells AND Siders' 16 Kids

In Mississippi, a sheriff declared no foul play in the death of Nolan Wells before the autopsy was complete, before toxicology was in, and before the FBI examined the phone. In Ohio, a county had truancy complaints on the Siders children five years before sixteen of them were found in a single room by officers executing an unrelated warrant. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis sits down for an extended conversation covering both cases — and the institutional failures that connect them.On Wells: the premature public call and what it did to the investigation's trajectory. The contradiction between the friends' account and the young woman's statement. The friend who appeared on Good Morning America and then Rolling Stone while the case was still open. The DA's agreement to present to a grand jury. On the Siders family: the gag order that silenced every official after the AG called conditions pure evil. Elizabeth Siders — married at fifteen, biological mother of all sixteen children, charged with sixteen felony counts, described by her own attorney as a possible victim. The grandfather who walked out because the county couldn't afford to keep him.Faddis brings a former prosecutor's lens to every question: who failed, what it costs, and what happens next.
