"The December 21, 2023 post from a user calling themself 'Henry Martinez' simply shared the name 'Cole Allen.' However, this post was the first and only message ever sent from the account."
"'It is not possible on X to manipulate or backdate an existing post to make it appear years older than its actual creation date. Also, there are no known hacks or third-party tools for backdating,' said Knight."
"'I believe that this is just a coincidence with someone guessing [or] posting a common name of 'Cole Allen' in 2023.'"
A conspiracy theory has emerged connecting Cole Allen, a suspect in a shooting, to time travel after a dormant X account posted his name in December 2023. The post went viral, prompting internet users to investigate the identity of the user 'Henry Martinez' and any potential connections to the shooting. Cybersecurity expert James Knight confirmed that the post's date cannot be manipulated, suggesting it was likely a coincidence. Cole is an uncommon name in the US, further complicating the narrative surrounding the post.
