What is the Red Lion Group? Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter calls himself its CEO

From above article:


I think he might have been suffering from mental health issues and playing pretend with his occupational/career life. They don't come across as legitimate businesses. Completely my opinion.

No mention of whether he is the founder of the Red Lion Group. I agree that MOO there's something shady about all of this and I don't know how much of it is true at this point.

I disagree. That view is looking west, toward 301st, and the vehicle was north of 25 on 301st.

You're right, I got twisted around. The view is from the east; the mailbox and the grain cribs are on the North side of the road. The small wood further from the camera is where the Buick was found.

KARE11 Live is reporting that the Buick belonged to VLB.

‘On the website for a company called Praetorian Guard Security Services, LLC, Boelter described himself as part of the "leadership team."

NPR found no record of the firm having clients or providing any services. A call to the company's phone number connected to what appears to be a private phone line, not a business. The address listed in incorporation papers appeared to be that of a law firm specializing in divorce litigation.

Boelter himself appears to have no history working in law enforcement, the military or private security.’

Eyewitnesses seem to confirm Boelter’s wife was with some of their children.

Where did he pick it up from? Have they indicated?

John Miller CNN: Raided his house yesterday. Found a second hit list with more than a dozen names that are different from the ones found in the car which had 70 or so names.

They've been busy identifying those people and going out and warning them. Then they have to provide these people protection.

Did car run out of gas? You can walk pretty far from there.

Did he contact a friend or associate and switched to another car that is not on the radar?

You're looking for two things: Someone who knows him and he reached out to. Or someone who doesn't know him and happens to spot him.

I may have misunderstood. I thought I heard it was associated with VB not that he owned it.

There was discussion on KARE11 relative to the "manifesto". They described it more in terms of a list of names. From what I gather, the names on the list are somewhat confusing in terms of they may not necessarily fit with common perception in terms of this guys motives, other than it appears he was indeed pro life.

I have NEVER understood and will NEVER understand how the person who is pro life, feels like it is okay to take a life. I mean I don't understand anyone taking someone else's life, but I certainly don't understand the one with the pro life stance.

They seem very interested in the eastern end of Erin Lake and the patch of woodland to the south of it.

I think I've marked about where his house is?

He texted his best friend of over 40 years , room mate yesterday am . Gives me a uhmmm feeling. Too many people involved ,I think on this case. He had to have help . MOO

They did not but apparently they identified it from bank cctv. Source KARE11 LIVE

They did they that but then confirmed that it was his car. FWIW LE said 'associated with' but the reported later said he did confirm with LE that it 'belonged to' VLB. Source: KARE11 LIVE

That’s what I read as well, he’s not the owner if the Buick. But I’m still trying to figure out the when and where? Assume it’s an associate or family member’s car.

This makes the most sense. KARE11 is saying otherwise (saying he owns it) but personally, I want to hear LE say it before I believe it. JMO
