A woman is back in jail and charged with sending threatening messages to two of her bosses and accused of making threats that closed Kiefer schools on Monday and last Friday.
A judge raised Mary Brasier's bond to $500,000 dollars, up from $12,000 last week. Prosecutors say within an hour of bonding out last week, she sent the victims more than 100 messages. The attorney for Kiefer schools told the judge in court if Brasier is not in jail, the school will have to go virtual. He says they are worried if she is out of jail, she will show up and there will be violence.
Prosecutors say Brasier was initially arrested because she sent repeated threatening messages to two of her former bosses and specifically threatened the bosses' young children. They say she also pretended to be the husband of one of the victims and claimed he'd been kidnapped and demanded $23,000. They say Brasier sent messages talking about sexually assaulting her bosses' three-year-old child. Prosecutors say Brasier sends the threats through social media using the name "Ted Bundy."
"This is one of the more unique situations I've encountered in my career. Just the scale and the intensity of these threats are rather unsettling so I think Miss Brasier needs to be in custody until we can get this figured out,” said Tulsa County Assistant District Attorney Matt Kehoe.
Kiefer Public Schools went on lockdown last Tuesday and closed school Friday because of threats directed toward two kids at the school. Superintendent Randy Shaw says the school was specifically targeted in a social media post, so they decided not having students on campus was the best decision. The social media threat also used the Ted Bundy profile name and mentioned Brasier’s boss and bosses' children.
"We don't want anything to happen. The children’s safety is paramount in these cases, and the safety of the victims is always paramount in these considerations when setting bond so I think Judge Miller did the appropriate thing today,” said Kehoe.”
The judge was stern with Brasier after raising her bond. He ordered her not to make any contact with any of the victims or he will revoke all of her phone privileges at the jail.
