Police are among those checking the page. "Absolutely," Deputy Chief Brian Smith told The Associated Press on Monday.
"We're used to pinging databases and sources of information," he said. "It's normal for us to look at Facebook accounts."

Smith also saw the growing number of comments on Nicolaysen's account — some of them mocking police — as he remained at large Monday.

Nicolaysen has been convicted of five felonies, including domestic violence, burglary and theft of a firearm, police said. He is wanted by the Washington state Department of Corrections for failing to check in with his community corrections officer since January.
He's also accused of assaulting his girlfriend on March 28, police said.
