On June 14, 2025, former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home. Just hours earlier, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot—but survived. The man behind both attacks? Vance Boelter—a former city council candidate who disguised himself as a police officer, drove a fake squad car, and carried a hit list targeting dozens of Democratic lawmakers and abortion-rights advocates. But something about this case doesn’t sit right. Why did Boelter have a list of up to 70 names? How did he know where these lawmakers lived? And why are officials so vague about his motive? In this episode, we break down:
  • The timeline of the shootings and how Boelter moved between targets
  • How he impersonated law enforcement and evaded detection
  • The disturbing notebook full of political names
  • The unanswered questions the media isn’t asking
This isn’t just a tragedy—it might be part of something much deeper. Tune in as we uncover what’s being left out.
