BREAKING: 🚨 Law Enforcement is now claiming they DID NOT find a Manifesto from alleged Minnesota ass-ssin Vance Boelter.
Reporter: “Can you identify a potential motive here? It was widely reported that the list, this hit list, contained names of people who are abortion rights supporters. And also, can you please release the names of the two other targeted victims who were fortunate to get away?”
Official: “As I said, with respect to the other two potential victims, I think it’s up to them whether they want to publicly identify themselves. As I said, it wouldn’t surprise me if they do. They are elected officials, but that’s their right. Obviously, they may have families and children and privacy interests that they need to sort through, so I’ll let them do that. With respect to the potential motive, let me say this: There’s been a lot of press coverage and speculation and discussion of a manifesto. I’ve seen nothing like a Unabomber-style manifesto in his writings. He had many, many notebooks full of plans, lists of names, surveillance efforts that he took to surveil and locate the home addresses and family members’ relationships with these elected officials. But I have not seen anything involving some sort of political screed or manifesto that would clearly identify what motivated him. Obviously, his primary motive was to go out and murder people— they were all elected officials, they were all Democrats. Beyond that, I think it’s just way too speculative for anyone to review these materials and say what was motivating him in terms of ideology or specific issues.”
Reporter: “Were there some abortion rights supporters?”
Official: “There were some abortion rights supporters, I believe, on the list. But again, there were dozens and dozens and dozens of names on hundreds of pages of documents that were recovered with his writings on them.”
Reporter: “Did he confess and give more details after his apprehension last night?”
Official: “I’m not going to comment on that at this time.”
