Police: former Texas justice of the peace emailed threat after murder of prosecutor, wife
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities investigating the murders of a Texas prosecutor and his wife believe a former county official sent a threatening email to law officers three days after the killings.
The Kaufman County sheriff released a probable cause affidavit Monday that shows authorities traced the threat to the personal computer of former Justice of the Peace Eric Lyle Williams. The prosecutor's office handled a theft case against Williams that resulted in him losing his job.
Authorities say the email implied that if authorities didn't respond to various demands, there'd be another attack.

A law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity says at least 20 weapons found in Williams' storage locker are being tested.
