I don't know if the post was real or not, but the person is not the wife of the police chief.


But the person in the Facebook message, Catherine Nardi, is not the wife of the Ferguson police chief.

Nardi lives in St. Petersburg, Fla., not Missouri, according to public records. She is married to Henry Nardi, who is not the police chief of Ferguson. We reached out to Nardi via Facebook, but she did not respond. A woman answering a phone number associated with her hung up on a reporter.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Jackson’s wife is named Patricia, not Catherine. We were unable to reach Jackson’s wife.

As for the specific words in the message, we did not find them on Nardi’s Facebook page or anywhere else.
