Joseph Alfredo Vasquez Dumarce has been charged with interstate transmission of a threatening communication, a federal crime carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Investigators say Dumarce used the social media handle \u201cyaeyae962\u201d to send Judge Ashlee Cole threatening Facebook messages in the aftermath of Nolan\u2019s death.
According to the Sun Herald, the charging document includes several messages allegedly sent from the account.
One read, in part ... \u201cThere will be a package coming to your guys office in the next few days. It\u2019s gonna blow you away when you see it. LoL. probably best to have the boys there to see as well.\u201d
The message continued ... \u201cBlood. So much blood everywhere. Hard to clean. Especially from a boat. But yours will be quick I promise.\u201d
It concluded ... \u201cI got all you info. Not even the FBI can stop this. Once that package is opened, the timer will start. And then you have maybe 10 seconds or less to ask God for forgiveness.\u201d
Other messages allegedly threatened to strangle Cole\u2019s sons and included pictures of her children.
Authorities linked the social media account to Dumarce by tracing email IP addresses associated with it and cross-referencing a date of birth, phone number, and street addresses tied to the account.
Cole\u2019s stepson, Warren Hudson, was among the friends who traveled to Horn Island with Nolan before Nolan disappeared. Warren recently sat down for a lengthy interview with Brandon Tatum, denying any involvement in Nolan\u2019s death.
On Wednesday, Warren's dad Dr. Benjamin Hudson told TMZ he is offering a 50K reward for any information regarding Nolan's death.
