Federal Investigation Links Vermont Border Agent Killing to Suspected Multi-State Homicides

Authorities are probing connections between a Vermont shootout, a Vallejo landlord's murder, and a Pennsylvania double homicide involving suspects tied to fringe groups.

Teresa Youngblut, charged in the Jan. 20 killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont, is linked to suspects in homicides in Vallejo, California, and Pennsylvania, according to federal prosecutors.
Youngblut and her deceased companion, Felix Baukholt, were found with tactical gear, firearms, and encrypted devices in their vehicle after a deadly shootout during a border stop near Coventry, Vermont.
The Vallejo murder victim, Curtis Lind, was a landlord previously attacked in 2022 and a key witness in an upcoming murder trial related to that incident.
Prosecutors allege ties between Youngblut, Baukholt, and individuals involved in a fringe group known for past violent incidents and protests.
Investigators are examining the purchase of firearms used in the Vermont shootout and their connection to broader violent activities across state lines.
