Joseph H. Thompson, Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota, said during a press conference that Boelter’s killings were “haunting” and “the stuff of nightmares.”
As a result, Thompson said, Boelter now faces federal charges.
Thompson described the six-count federal complaint that Boelter now faces, which includes several charges punishable by the federal death penalty. Thompson declined to comment on whether his prosecutors would seek the death penalty.
“This was the largest manhunt in Minnesota history,” Thompson said. “The men and women in federal and state law enforcement put their lives at risk. We owe them all a debt of gratitude. The last 48 hours have been an incredible testament to the professionalism of our federal and state law enforcement.”
