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 mean it’s the best thing for police Hollywood has ever done. The inverse is wait 24 hours to file a missing person report.
No no no, you’re missing the important piece
They didn’t have to say yes, because it was April fool’s day!
This is hilarious.
Some police departments will make you wait 24 hours unless it’s a young child. It’s really a crapshoot whether you’ll be able to make a report or not.
Name them, they need their SOP redone. I have never heard of this in real life and I would bet it’s a bad officer/dispatcher following Hollywood rules rather than their unit policy.
I don’t have a list of names but regularly listen to podcasts like Dateline and Crime Junkie and these are common themes among many of the stories. Families and friends will try to report someone missing and are told they must wait 24 hours or more.
I can’t be certain by I’d wager that’s Hollywoodism seeping through. Either the podcast is wrong or the dispatch/officer on duty has it wrong. The first 48 hours are the most vital in finding a missing person, they would not want to waste half of that as procedure.

This edit isn’t me trying to prove I’m right, more to just accurately educate. Hope the information is never needed!!
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.
