The wife of the suspect accused of killing a Minnesota politician and attempting to assassinate another was found with a trove of suspicious items in her car.

Vance Boelter's wife Jenny was stopped by authorities at a convenience store while driving a car with three other relatives inside near Onamia at 10am on Saturday.

She was found with a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports about 75 miles from where the shootings took place in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, Minnesota, eight hours earlier.

Vance Boelter, 57, remains on the run after he allegedly shot Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman and Democratic State Senator John Hoffman in a chilling assassination spree, about eight miles apart, in the early hours of Saturday morning.

1. She should sing like a bird....

I think she can thus be charged with accessory to murder amongst other crimes...

[LiberalArkie]

3. Especially since the report said she had her passport with her. She was probably going to meet him somewhere.

They will know once they look at her call records.

[FarPoint]

4. Yeap......

She's an accessory.....unsure of the others with her...not enough information.

She is caged in now. Fantastic catch officers.

[Bev54]

26. She could have been trying to meet him or to get away from him. Hard to know at this time

[getagrip_already]

36. Fanatics dont sing....

She will shut up and stay that way. She probably knows talking to the cops will do zero to help her.

It will just make it easier to charge her.

[AZ8theist]

44. That's true in EVERY case.

Speaking to police never helps the individual, guilty or not. ALWAYS get a lawyer. ALWAYS exercize your right to remain silent.

[Shipwack]

46. That's what cops and HR have in common.

No matter what they say, they are not there to help you [/i…

[OhioBack2Blue]

52. Exactly....

Never go in a room alone with HR. Never.

[H2O Man]

47. I am going to

respectfully disagree with you, in small part. Of course I 100% agree with you to ALWAYS get a lawyer. It's not just "guilty" people who benefit from having one before talking to police.

Being old, I well remember the even older "good cop.bad cop" tactics. They got confessions for centuries, from both guilty and innocent people. I can remember two detectives looking in the room I was in, with one saying, "We know how to make 'tough guys' talk." I found that absolutely hilarious, as I had been un-cuffed, and in that small room, could have destroyed both of them in under a minute ..... with time to spare!

But, being 100% innocent -- I had been charged, literally, with cattle rustling! -- I was content to wait until they closed the door to say, "Lawyer, please, kind sirs!" However, before they came in, their only witness admitted he was lying. Crazy story, one my children love.

However, these days, investigators use the Reid Technique. It works very well with those who do not immediately request a lawyer. If they get you to even talk about the weather or a local baseball team, there is a very high chance that they will get something close to a confession. If you are guilty, that happens faster in general than if you are innocent.

40. Passports; plural. Which begs the question "Who owns the other(s)?"

[DallasNE]

55. It Looks Like She Was Making A Beeline For Canada

Passport in hand, along with other family members. It is looking like a family afair.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

15. Depending on the evidence and careful questioning, she should be charged.

As an accessory to murder, which falls under both State and Federal jurisdictions.

[SheltieLover]

33. Absolutely!

Roommates might have been a cover for what he was planning.

[czarjak]

37. Drop like a turd?

[Kali999]

2. accessory

Hope she's in jail. I am from Minnesota and pissed off. Onamia is the boonies, or was the boonies when i was a kid.

[underpants]

6. Sounds like it to me.

[mahina]

28. Hearts are with you.

What an unimaginable loss to the peace and security of Minnesota and the country.

[Bok_Tukalo]

5. I wonder if she was running FROM him

Getting out of town and hiding out of fear.

[IbogaProject]

11. Best to hold her, either way

[Deuxcents]

12. If she was in fear, the cops would be using a safe house for her and the kids. Was the passport hers or his?

[SheltieLover]

31. Good questions, Deux!

[FarPoint]

53. She should be held in jail....

Administrative Segregation solo cell with officer observation 24/7.... works for me.

[Upthevibe]

24. Bok_Tukalo .......

That's a good question. Why was he living with roommates?

I've had roommates most of my life because I want to live in a nice part of L.A. (Redondo Beach) so a majority of my money doesn't go to rent. I don't have family other than a sister who lives in Chicago. This murderer had five kids with his wife. It's very odd that he's living with roommates.

[AZJonnie]

54. Maybe has a house 'out in the country' he and fam call home, but keeps an apartment 'in the city'

to work out of during the week because the commute is too long?

[Bmoboy]

7. Headed for Canada?

[LudwigPastorius]

8. She's looking at life for aiding and abetting first degree murder.

That's a powerful incentive to testify against her terrorist husband.

[SheltieLover]

29. Good!

[getagrip_already]

38. Accessory before the fact will be hard to prove...

Unless they can pin her to the planning or having knowlege of the shooting, that will be tough. They will need texts or witness testimony and that probably doesnt exist.

Accessory after the fact would be easier, especially if she was fleeing with a plan to meet him.

[Bluetus]

50. Not necessarily

These are clearly not very smart people. Chances are there will be enough evidence to show planning on the part of both of them. The fact that he even had those materials in her possession is strong evidence that she has been actively involved in the planning.

Note that the original plan was thwarted when police interrupted the second set of murders causing the Assassin to flee on foot. Clearly they had an escape planned. And it seems patently obvious that the people in the car were all in the process of escaping together.

If the wife was not a party to the plot, then she surely should have turned herself in yesterday. Anybody with any brains would know she would be high on the list of people to question.

[chowmama]

9. Where are the five kids?

And since he was actually living in a room rented from a friend, can we assume the marriage was on the rocks?

[LiberalArkie]

10. His resume makes him look like an important person, but it seems that he is a MAGA grifter

Boelter had built a scattered career that included food companies, retailing and pastoring, according to public records and his online posts. He has been living with his wife in a rural area outside the Twin Cities, and staying a few nights a week at a rental home in a working-class Minneapolis neighborhood with a couple of roommates.

Boelter was working overnight shifts for an organization that handles eye donations, said one roommate, David Carlson, and was trying to get a security company off the ground.

[Igel]

34. That's what resumes are supposed to do.

Downplaying your skills and underselling yourself won't usually get you the job, unless it's for the entry-level position in the Dept. of Humility and Self-Abnegation.

[Alice B.]

13. Or was that part of his preparations for this spree?

[Igel]

25. Two of the daughters are married.

Probably not living at their parents'. Or at their parent's.

[mahina]

35. In this case that would be parents', plural posessive,

This would be a perfect opportunity for a DU food fight, as I may be wrong, although the debate over whether tubas are brass or wind instruments (which I just read under the Tennesee youtube of lets agree to call them musicians overpowering a contingent of unironically named proud boys) was pretty good too.

DU, I love you.

[Scrivener7]

14. Does his wife live with him and his 2 roommates?

[chowder66]

19. No. He stayed with them a couple of nights a week due to work shifts.

Boelter was working overnight shifts for an organization that handles eye donations, said one roommate, David Carlson, and was trying to get a security company off the ground.

[Scrivener7]

20. Thank you!

[chowder66]

21. You're welcome!

[et tu]

16. have to get news from the daily mail

come on msm- get factual or get lost

[Simeon Salus]

41. As a source, The Daily Mail is tiny bit above silly putty which has been smashed against a genuine newspaper

But I hope the story is correct.

[Bengus81]

17. Did they yank her out of the car,push her face down into the pavement,put their knees on her legs

etc...etc...etc? If not they are treating a person who could be another assassin or wannabe assassin better than a sitting US Senator just wanting to ask questions at a press conference.

[stopdiggin]

18. "no arrests were made" - - and the 'TERRIFYING' part ?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[travelingthrulife]

51. She must have been white and Republican enough to avoid arrest.

[AllaN01Bear]

22. passports eh? wonder where to and fleeing the country. hem

[Wiz Imp]

39. Having a passport on your person no longer automatically means planning to flee the country

You now need a REAL ID to fly anywhere in the US or alternately a Passport. It could mean they were planning to fly to somewhere else in the US.

[Farmer-Rick]

43. Yeah, just like in Nazi Germany

Papers please.

[AllaN01Bear]

48. thanks.

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. Well

That's not suspicious at all.

[SheltieLover]

27. I hope they are holding her passport!

[Raven123]

30. Whose passports?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Who's passports?

[IronLionZion]

42. Mental illness is carefully planned and organized with accomplices

but no political agenda whatsoever.

[GP6971]

56. Locking. The Daily Mail is not a reputable mainstream news source.
