Authorities reported that 21-year-old Teresa Youngblut was behind the wheel of the Toyota Prius hatchback since 2015, when she was stopped by the US border patrol David Maland around 3pm last Monday on the 91 Inter-Square Highway in Coventry, Virginia, south of Newport.
Felix Bauholt, a German citizen and registered owner of the vehicle, was in place of the passenger, according to the authorities, and had an expired visa.
After Maland stopped Toyota, numerous border patrol agents approached the car, according to an oath declaration filed in the federal court. Youngblut is said to have opened fire with a gun, and Bowholt tried to pull out his own weapon. The agents respond to the shooting and when the smoke is distracted, Bauholt and Maland are deadly injured.
Youngblut was also struck by shooting and taken to the Dartmut-Chick Medical Center in New Hampshire, where “she is currently receiving hospital medical care,” the oath statement said. A hospital operator said no one was available to talk to the media on Sunday, and its court -appointed lawyers did not respond to a request for comment.
Authorities do not reveal what you have led to Vermont. Her parents in Seattle announced that they last saw her on May 11, when she took their belongings from their home, police told police a few days later, according to a police report.
Youngblut and Baukholt were dressed in tactical equipment, and Youngblut wore a gun when they registered at a hotel in Lyndonville, Vt., January 14, according to court documentation.
Since then, according to court documents, the authorities have conducted periodic monitoring of the two. The couple stayed at Colonnade Inn in Lindonville, a village with 1100 people down the road from the ski resort of Burke Mountain. Their appearance at the hotel was worried about workers, said Lindonville Police Chief Jack Harris.
Vermont State Police officers and the internal security investigation department tried to start a “consensus conversation” with the couple on January 14, but they did not assist, according to the documents. Vermont does not require a license to carry weapons in public places.
Authorities say Youngblut and Bauholt have left Lyndonville after they have contacted the police and travels north to Newport. Newport City Inn and Suites employees told local television news that the couple stayed at the hotel for five days. A hotel employee confirmed on Sunday that federal agents had contacted the hotel about the suspects, but declined to comment more.
Parentau said that even before the shooting last week, weapons violence in Newport and nearby areas came out of control.
In recent years, there have been a number of murders nearby, including several drugs related to the I-91 corridor from Connecticut to the Canada border. Last fall, an alleged drug trafficking was accused of killing two men from Western Massachusetts and throwing their bodies into the forest in Eden, VT. In October 2023, a man from Hartford was shot dead to death at a house in Newport. In February last year, a man from Hartford killed a 29-year-old woman because of a drug dispute in Troy, Vermont, and two men from Vermont helped him hide her body in a state park.
Authorities have not indicated a motive for the shooting, nor have they provided evidence that the couple is related to drug trafficking.
After the shooting, the employees discovered an arsenal of tactical equipment and weapons in the Bauholt scar, including two pistols, several ammunition fillers and a ballistic helmet, the court documents show.
Investigators also collected two packages of alleged mobile phones wrapped in aluminum foil, which were found behind one of the border patrol cars after the shooting, the records show.
Carrie Rapaport, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering at the Northeast University and director of a research group focused on detecting explosive threats, said aluminum foil is an effective tool to block the mobile phone signal and the possibility of GPS tracking.
According to Sarah Rouen, a spokesman for the FBI office in Obani, there is no current information on Sunday.
“The FBI investigations are thorough and methodical. This investigation remains very active and the lawsuit continues, “Rouen said in a statement over the weekend.
The 44-year-old Maland was remembered by the family as “a person with courage, honor and unwavering dedication,” according to a Gofundme page.
Maland was a veteran of the Air Force, which worked on the Pentagon security during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
“With a heavy heart, we declare the demise of my beloved, whose huge heart, exceptional charisma and unwavering integrity touched everyone who knew him,” said Maland Rozan’s fiancé in a Gofundme publication. “He was not only my soulmate, but also my best friend.”
Youngblut is to appear in the US District Court in Burlington, Virginia, on Monday afternoon in front of magistrate judge Kevin J. Doyle, according to court documentation.
There were signs of turmoil in her life in the months before the shooting.
In May, Youngblut’s parents contacted police in Seattle to submit a missing report after she moved out of home – taking her personal belongings in her bags, including her passport and medical records – and moved to a new place, According to a police report.
The police account was previously reported by The Seattle Times.
Youngblut’s parents said they are “concerned about [she] It may be forced to take these actions or that it may have a control connection, “the report said by the Seattle police provided Globe Sunday.
They describe Youngblut as “emotionally immature,” the report said.
The parents reported their concerns on May 15, a few days after they last saw Youngblut.
Youngblut breaks his contacts with childhood friends; She “had become deceptive with her parents, often lying about where she was going and with whom she was seeing,” her parents said to the police, according to the report. She stopped taking medication because she’s not vegan, police told police.
On the same day, when her parents called her police, they received an email from Youngblut: their daughter told them “Goodbye” to their parents. She told them that she had moved to a new place with a friend, changed her phone number and “won’t be able to contact her,” according to the police report.
Police found that there was no “justified concern” about the safety of Youngblut to justify the report of a missing person, but an employee documents her parents’ suspicions, the report said.
Police in Seattle did not participate in the investigation, a spokesman for the department told Globe Sunday.
Youngblut’s parents and other family members did not immediately respond to the requests for comment on Sunday.
Zane Nagel, who knows Youngblut when they were students at the Liexide Private School in Seattle, said they were classmates from the sixth grade until the last year of high school.
Nidzhles remembered how he played with Youngblut in the high school orchestra, how they saw her every week in their consultative group of eight people in high school and competed with her in the Lakeeside’s Quiz Bowl team in their last year. She always did well with literary curious facts and once dyed her hair in pink, he said.
“It’s just incomprehensible. Teresa was kind and attentive and she was a really good human being, “Nagel said in a telephone conversation with Globe on Saturday.
Youngblut comes from a large family with several sisters, one of whom is a friend of Nagel’s own sister.
He never suspected that Youngblut would one day be charged with violence.
“I would say she had many friends, she had the feeling that she was a really quality person,” Nagel said. “It’s not really the type of person you thought would be involved in weapons and violence.”
Lakeside School did not confirm the presence of Youngblut or shared a statement.
