Overview

  • Boelter’s preliminary and detention hearings were postponed to July 3 at his defense team’s request, citing constant lighting and sleep deprivation in jail.
  • He remains jailed on state first-degree murder counts and federal stalking and murder charges as authorities prepare grand jury indictments.
  • Former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband began lying in state at the Minnesota Capitol rotunda Friday, marking Hortman as the first woman honored this way.
  • Investigators continue examining materials seized from Boelter’s vehicle and home, including notebooks naming about 45 elected officials and a cache of firearms.
  • Jenny Boelter said her family was “completely blindsided” by his alleged actions and emphasized full cooperation with law enforcement.
