Michelle Francine Edwards was arrested Friday after federal prosecutors accused the Cincinnati woman of making 29 bomb threat calls tied to public anger over the unresolved death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. The calls reportedly targeted two Mississippi offices on July 23, prompting lockdowns and bomb-sniffing dog searches; authorities found no explosives. According to a criminal complaint, 21 calls hit the George County Chancery Clerk’s Office within roughly eight minutes. Investigators say eight more calls reached the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office dispatch center, with the blocked caller allegedly warning employees not to go outside and claiming a bomb was waiting nearby. The Case Is Getting More Serious Phone records from C-Spire and Verizon, along with Cash App data, Cincinnati police records and cellphone-location evidence, allegedly led investigators to Edwards. She faces a federal interstate-threat charge that could carry up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release if convicted. The arrest follows a separate federal case involving 27-year-old Joseph Alfredo Vasquez Dumarce, whom prosecutors accuse of threatening Judge Ashlee Cole. Authorities say Dumarce threatened to send an explosive package and shared images of Cole’s children; Cole’s son was with Wells on Horn Island. Wells disappeared after a Fourth of July gathering on the Mississippi barrier island when friends left because their boat developed mechanical trouble and Wells stayed behind. His body was recovered along the shoreline on July 6, but no person had been charged in connection with his death as of August 3. A private examination requested by Wells’ family and the state autopsy both left key questions unresolved, while officials called a toxicology document circulating online fraudulent. Forensic pathologist Dr. Roger Mitchell said decomposition and missing organs from the initial examination limited his findings, and District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath said the investigative record would be presented to a grand jury.
