SUSPECT IN CUSTODY MN - 2 Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer, JUNE 13,2025

Are you sure this is the one VB was involved with? His looked more like food distribution than military. I have no idea what's going on with this dude.

One of the aspects of the partnership was food and food security......right up the streets of the likes of Nestle who VB claimed to have worked for

KARE11 is reporting that LE found the Buick this morning around 6-6:30 am.

They are also reporting that that LE found the windshield completely smashed out. I don't know what kind of significance this holds, but I thought I'd share.

If I sell candy bars at the gas station where I work, is that the same as working for Nestlé?

There seems to be a great deal of hyperbole in his resume. I'm skeptical.

KARE11 live is showing the Buick being towed away.

I heard them say the driver's window was smashed out.

The windshield too?

"Funeral home job" - what? So this guy is a food industry executive, security company executive, has done security work all over the world in conflict zones "most involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip", recently was in the Democratic Republic of Congo doing who knows what, he's an evangelical preacher with his own non-profit under which he ironically preached to “militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn’t the answer”, has a doctorate, a masters, is an author, managed a 7-11, has children, is married, and has a roommate (?), ... AND worked at a funeral home?

And no one suspected a thing.

KARE11 live is reporting that the drivers window was rolled down, cracked. It has MN license plates. (Reporter watched it go past him on the flatbed of the towtruck.)

Manhunt for alleged Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter narrows — as cops find car on rural road and neighbors report gunshots

Police and federal agents swarmed the Minnesota farm community after discovering a car and a hat belonging to suspected assassin Vance Boelter — ordering residents to stay indoors and lock their ho…

His other roommate, best friend DC, told The Post Boelter had been “struggling” and that his personality had noticeably changed since he returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo several months ago.

[…]

“I thought his demeanor [changed], he wasn’t as cheerful as he used to be. Since he got back from Africa, I guess,” he said, adding he got back four months ago and quit his job to go there.

DC has had time to reflect further on his friend of forty years demeanor. Yesterday he only said he was struggling recently financially. But he hadn’t noticed any changes in him.

Oh, perhaps I'm mistaken or perhaps Lou Reguse misspoke. Just saw some footage of the Buick. Looked like the windshield was intact, and yes, the driver's side window was either open or removed. Sorry for any confusion

Regular parking would have delayed the discovery.
Why the breadcrumbs?

They probably thought he was not very honest on his resume'.
I doubt it crossed anyone's mind that he would run off the deeper end of crazy and murder people.

Those around him had to know how he couldn't hold a job and was so wildly out of touch with reality, whether due to mental illness, drugs, or whatever. It's very sad that people with such issues can so easily acquire weapons. He's the poster child for red-flag laws.

I am wondering the same thing. I can't tell if he is trying to get away and throw them off or is kind of playing a sick game. The cowboy hat on the side of the road was egregious to me.

Thinking out loud.

SPECULATION

Between 3 and 6, VLB walks from Champlin to Minneapolis, only 7 miles.

6 am breaks into his own vehicle

6:30 texts his roommates, maybe texts his wife/family

Goes to a bank to withdraw money

Somehow has access to a dark colored Buick.

IMO he could reach Green Isle in under an hour. Could be in the general area by 8 am.

LE is also in the area, IMO, searching for VLB, for clues, etc. Family isn't present.

10-11am Wife is stopped 2 hours from home. With a gun, passports, cash.

Did she get the cash from him?

I am wondering if he connected with his family before they left home.

 JMO

Were the phone and bank cards in the car he broke into? If the car was part of a plan, why not leave it unlocked or hide a key? Was the key in the police vehicle he was forced to abandon? I wondered at first if it was his wife's car he broke into, but I think this is the one parked at the house share? Seems odd to leave a backup vehicle so far away, but perhaps he had a route planned which led back there. Unless someone else who lived in or near that property was due to collect him from somewhere in that vehicle and hand over the bag?

Is it weird to have a 'escape' bag in a locked car? Maybe it's not. But from your timeline it seems he may have headed to that vehicle on purpose in order to facilitate the next part of his plan.

Not if YOU do. But if Vance does...it counts!

Under what protocol would a funeral home employee have the rights to a dead person's eyeballs? All of that would have been sorted out at the hospital with organ donors, right? I saw that tidbit yesterday, maybe you guys have resolved that gruesome image.

If it is he who ditched that car, he either left there on foot, or in another vehicle. Maybe he hiked out of there, due south on 301st avenue, across 25, and straight down a farm lane there to a wooded area that appears to have the beginnings of a stream that winds south down to the Minnesota river. That's a wild theory, but walking in water can confound canine searches.

Or, he's local to where that car was ditched, hiding in a local barn, silo, grain shed, wooded area, or such...though a good canine team would likely be able to track that scent. He could be dead of suicide somewhere in a radius of where that car was found.

Or, he's been picked up by a collaborator, who took him in another vehicle out of the area. If he's a smart dude, and had some fore planning, this would be the top scenario...other than walking away from that area, and maybe getting picked up on the Minnesota River Valley Scenic byway.
