Jenny Boelter, Vance Boelter's Wife, Questioned at Traffic Stop: Report

Vance Boelter was the subject of a massive manhunt.

Vance Boelter, the Minnesota shooting suspect who was the subject of a massive manhunt, is married to wife Jenny Boelter.

On June 15, a Minnesota television station reported that Boelter's wife was questioned after a traffic stop.

KSTP-TV reported that "a traffic stop at a convenience store located near Onamia late Saturday morning involved a vehicle which was carrying Boelter’s wife, as well as three other relatives."

The television station noted that the vehicle allegedly "contained a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports," according to sources, and added, "However, to our knowledge, no one has been arrested – just questioned.

A witness told KSTP that a "dozen law enforcement squads converged on the vehicle and remained on the scene for two to three hours."

Although the television station didn't name Boelter's wife, the New York Post gave her name as Jenny Boelter. That is confirmed by his father's obituary, which gives his wife's name as Jenny.

According to KTSP, it's not clear whether the traffic stop was random or whether law enforcement officials were tracking the vehicle.

To be clear, law enforcement authorities have not publicly implicated anyone other than Vance Boelter in the shooting deaths of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the wounding of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.

However, they did say at a June 15 press conference that they were still investigating whether Vance Boelter acted alone. In a series of press conferences, authorities said that Vance Boelter was impersonating a police officer when he went to the Democratic lawmakers' homes. He also had a manifesto and a hit list, they said.

According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Boelter said in a video that he and his wife "have four daughters and a son."

According to its website, Boelter was director of security patrols at Praetorian Guard Security Services, described by the Star-Tribune as "a residential armed home security company" where his wife Jenny worked as president.

"Jenny brings years of organizational operations and logistical oversight to the team. She has served and continues to serve on numerous boards and has helped organizations reach world class effectiveness," the security company's website says.

"Jenny is ready to help get your security needs in order for your home and your property so Praetorian Guard Security Services can give you the best coverage available!"
