Tomorrow’s episode of 20/20 will be called “Faking It” and will include the story of Emily Dirr and the Warrior Eli Hoax. Here’s an article from ABC News about figuring out if a story online is a fake.
It’s a terrifying story. A twelve year old in Louisiana has been missing for four days after disappearing in his middle school uniform. His mom, miles away, is understandably upset and shares his picture on Facebook. The post went viral as people passed along the information. Who doesn’t want to bring a missing child back home to his family?
I talked to several different police departments in the area and they assured me there is no missing boy named Justis Kerry. This is a hoax.
