An investigation began in April 2024 following a tip from the National Center of Missing and Endangered Children, Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office officials said Monday in a news release.
A search warrant was executed on the Snapchat account of 23-year-old suspect, Jarred Pearce. The account was found to include five child pornography videos, officials said.
