Periscope, an app that “lets you broadcast videos to the world” was used in this case to broadcast violent death threats…
And, unfortunately for 25 y/o Brian Blankenship, the lunatic who posted them, who is pictured below and whom the FBI claims used the online alias “Joe Cook”, his threats to kill Malena, to put her “bloody head on a stick” and to use the Periscope app to live stream her death resulted in his October 8, 2015 arrest for “transmitting in interstate commerce a communication threatening to injure an identified individual”.
Why Brain showed such hatred toward Malena (a 5’8″ brunette who is described in her IMDb profile as being a “knock out” and who has 27 adult movie credits from 2011 – 2015) is unknown but Jenna J. Ross, a friend and colleague of Malena (and a 5’2″ brunette who is described in her IMBd profile as being “a stunner” and who has been slightly more active than Malena with 62 adult movies under her, er, belt) and who is pictured below, says that she too was a victim of Brian’s ire, although Jenna did not report him to authorities. Still, Jenna told authorities that “When Malena blocked him [Brian] on social media he couldn’t get to her any more, so he turned it around on me. The best way to hurt her would be to hurt me.”
The FBI also reportedly uncovered emails from Brian to Malena wherein he stated: “I hope you have protection… I have a 9mm and a shotgun your dead b*tch and you won’t see me coming.”
