One tipster sent the FBI a photo from Hernandez's Facebook page that appeared to show her at the Capitol, and another sent the FBI a photo from Hernandez's Snapchat that appeared to show her beneath the Capitol dome. Anonymous tipsters submitted more photos of the woman holding Pelosi's sign.

Hernandez is facing five charges, including unlawful entry, engaging in disorderly conduct at the Capitol, and stealing a piece of federal property, according to a federal complaint. She has not been arrested.
