A massive manhunt is underway to apprehend Boelter. Biographical details from several online profiles show that he was intimately familiar with politics and public safety in Minnesota.
He also carried a manifesto that listed “prominent pro-choice individuals in Minnesota, including many Democratic lawmakers,” sources familiar with the investigation say.
Boelter was appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board in 2019, according to a news release by Gov. Tim Walz’s office that year.
Hoffman served several stints on the board, including from 2018-2023, according to the Secretary of State’s website.
An online video from two years ago appears to show Boelter preaching to a congregation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he tells them “I met Jesus when I was 17 years old and I gave my life to him.”
Detailing his faith journey, he talked about printing off his testimony and going door to door in his hometown.
“I just wanted to tell everybody about Jesus,” he said, adding that he and his wife were blessed with four daughters and a son.
