The gunman accused of the murder of a Democratic politician and her spouse wrote a disturbing letter to the FBI, wherein he appeared to confess to the killings.
Vance Boelter faced charges of murder and stalking following the deaths of Minnesota politician Melissa Hortman and her husband, which occurred weeks prior in their residence.
An arraignment hearing is set to take place in September and Boelter is expected to stand trial in November.
As part of investigators probe into the shootings, a letter addressed to Kash Patel, the director of the FBI, was found in Boelter’s car.
This was unsealed as part of the indictment.
In the chilling note, Boelter, 57, described himself as the shooter at large.
“I will probably be dead by the time you read this letter,” the note said.
In his letter, Boelter began discussing a purported project and alleged that Tim Walz, who partnered with Kamala Harris in the previous year’s presidential race, desired its execution.
There is no evidence to suggest Walz had any connection with the project.
