The man charged in the killings of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband one week ago was a “prepper” and had at some point given his wife a “bailout plan” in case of “exigent circumstances,” according to an FBI agent investigating the case.
The term “prepper” refers generally to someone who stockpiles materials and makes plans to survive some future disaster or doomsday event.
In a newly unsealed affidavit obtained by CNN affiliate WCCO, FBI agent Terry Getsch wrote that Boelter and his wife were preppers and that Boelter’s established “bailout plan” instructed his wife to go to her mother’s home in Wisconsin.
The affidavit does not imply that Boelter’s wife knew about her husband’s alleged plans to attack the lawmakers, and she has not been charged with any crime.
After last Saturday’s shootings, Boelter’s wife was pulled over by law enforcement “while traveling with her four children to visit friends northwest of the metro area,” Getsch wrote. She consented to a search of their car, in which investigators found two handguns, passports for Boelter’s wife and their children and about $10,000 in cash.
