This is going to be a thread based on information DM'd to me. I will credit the person if they give me permission to do so, but you won't want to miss what's below. As I mentioned on .@War_Hamster1776 and I's show last night, Vance Boelter's father was Donald Boelter.
2/ Donald was a faculty member at Vance's school.
3/ Donald was the baseball coach there as well. 1982 timeframe. School: Sleepy Eye High School in Sleepy Eye Minnesota.
4/ Vance's best friend in school was David Carlson.
5/
6/For reference, Mankato West High School, where Tim Walz taught was 42 miles from Sleepy Eye High School. Tim coach football according to internet sources. He was also a teacher, making numerous trips to China.
7/
8/I need your help in finding out how Marion Boelter Walz is related to Donald Boelter and Tim Walz. It's alleged that Marion Boelter is Donald's cousin.
9/ That obituary was published in the Star Tribune Sunday 1 August, 1999. I also found this. What stood out immediately to me was Mrs Leland Walz (Marion) and Mrs O. D. Carlson in the same announcement. Is this Carlson any relation to David Carlson, childhood friend of Vance?
10/ Let me know if you find anything on this...again, its worth mentioning that we have no independent verification of Vance actually being connected to the murders and attempted murder.
The cowboy hat guy isn't Vance and the masked assailant we are being told is Vance doesn't fit his build and may or may not be Vance at all. Be a skeptic when being told 'a' story because it may not be 'the' story.
