Jennifer Thalasinos, Nicholas’ wife, told the New York Times that she and her husband were “devout Messianic Jews”, a religious group that identifies as Jewish but considers Jesus to be the messiah, combining elements of Judaism with core Christian doctrine.

Kuuleme Stephens told news media she was part of a telephone discussion with Thalasinos, a health inspector, and Farook when she heard the Messianic Jewish man describe Farook as one who “doesn’t agree that Islam is not a peaceful religion”.

Beck said his wife, Barb, who still works as a Cape May health inspector, had spoken to Thalasinos on Sunday regarding cancer surgery.

Stephens reiterated that she didn’t feel there was a threat of any pending violence, but it’s still not sure if the debates factored into the attack.

“I have some people in the congregation who you would know like that, but that was not the way I knew Nick”, he said.

Thalasinos, she said, was “pro everything American” and enjoyed talking about politics, including his support for the Second Amendment right to bear arms and his anti-abortion stance.

Thalasinos had two adult sons.
