Authorities Sunday arrested 57-year-old Vance Boelter following the largest manhunt in state history. He's charged in the targeted fatal shootings of Minnesota House DFL leader Melissa Hortman and her spouse, and the shooting of state Sen. John Hoffman and his spouse.
Grew up a stones throw away. Bluntly, not much. It’s a fairly dense suburban area. The closest densely wooded area is just the two county parks, one about 3 miles East and the other about 2.5 miles south. Neither is very big though. For a larger area there’s a nature preserve about 15 miles west, but that’s still pretty limited.
True wilderness is about 60 miles north.
Now Sibley county, where he was found, is quite rural but not wild at all, similar distance to wilderness.
Minnesota has a lot of woods to run off and hide in.
How much of that is within walking distance of the vehicle he abandoned though?

How much time?
It’s been a few hours but idk how far he was found from there. I imagine we’ll have more detail tomorrow, so speculating seems silly.
it was meant more tongue in cheek
There’s supposed to be a press conference this evening in a few minutes.
