Dumarce also mentioned Cole's family, including her step-son Warren Hudson, a friend of Nolan's who appeared on a podcast to deny any involvement in Nolan's death.
Police say Dumarce sent the threats via Facebook. They traced him through IP addresses linked to his social media account, cross-referencing personal details.
Dumarce was arrested and charged with interstate transmission of a threatening communication, a federal crime that carries up to five years in prison.
