Sounded like a middle aged Trump voter. Profile on Facebook was an anonymous account. Here is the account. https://www.facebook.com/share/17tf1oeG8S/ Because she would get a call on her phone and then he would call our home phone, both came up anonymous, she said she spoke once and asked for me he said his name was the name from the account. Info was my wife and daughters name. He has my wife's phone number somehow, and our home phone. He said he had our address but didn't say it. However wouldn't be hard to find, live in a really small town.

I don't have a Facebook, so I can't look at his account, but the *69 (or *67?) features still work to make anonymous calls, and he probably googled your wife's name which may have had a public post or mentioning a daughter's name, or through friends. It doesn't take long but going down those rabbit holes is ready, and finding info is easy. Plenty of free sites or apps let you dig up more on people by name, too. That'll be a good start... However, since they're already a problem and have a head start, I suggest you just let it go, keep the police report (did you mention the threat to kill?) and maybe follow up. Document all calls even though anonymous, and maybe check if your carrier can block all unknown calls incoming. Don't get them more riled up than they already are, and hopefully you have sensible home protection (minimum a gun-that you're familiar with how to use)

Web search finds some Facebook resources: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=report+threat+on+facebook If you have to do crap like keep a bat next to your bed, you've somewhat already lost.
