According to the complaint, Perry’s phone was seized, and showed extensive contact with Faye leading up to his arrest.
“Specifically, Faye expressed a desire to travel with Perry and another individual to the U.S. /Mexico border and commit acts of violence,” the complaint stated.
In March 2023, the FBI introduced an undercover agent to Faye on TikTok. After exchanging messages, Faye provided the agent with his phone number for further communication.
On April 1, 2023, three undercover agents met with Faye, in person, along with his two sons. During the meeting, Faye asked if the undercover agents were federal law enforcement.
After confirming that the undercover agents were not law enforcement, he began discussing his beliefs that the government was “training to take on its citizens” and allowing migrants to enter the country to assist them.
I used to work in TV news. I can’t speak for all adults, but if the missing person was elderly or had special needs, the cops pretty much ran to us with the report so it would be on the next broadcast.
