The wife of the suspect charged with killing a Minnesota politician and attempting to assassinate another confessed the couple are 'doomsday preppers' and her husband had given her a 'bailout plan.'
Vance Boelter, 57, is accused of fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home in the early morning hours of June 14 in the northern Minneapolis suburbs.
He also allegedly shot and wounded another Democrat, Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette, who lived a few miles away.
While Boelter was on the run, his wife was pulled over with a trove of suspicious items in her car.
Jenny Boelter, 51, was stopped by authorities at a convenience store while driving a car with the couple's children inside and found with a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports.
According to an FBI affidavit obtained by WCCO, Boelter's wife told the investigator they were 'preppers,' meaning they 'prepare for major or catastrophic incidents.'
She said her husband gave her a 'bailout plan,' with instructions to go to her mother's home in southwestern Wisconsin, which she initiated after receiving a text from her husband that 'they needed to get out of the house and people with guns may be showing up to the house.'
The affidavit also stated that Boelter was driven to a bank in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, by an unnamed person and withdrew all $2,200 he had in a bank account in his name.
The driver, listed in court documents as 'Witness 1,' is the same person investigators said sold Boelter an electric bike and a Buick sedan, which were found during the 43-hour manhunt last weekend.
Boelter surrendered Sunday night after what authorities have called the largest search in Minnesota history.
He has been charged with six federal crimes, including murder, stalking and firearms offense, as two murder and two attempted murder charges at the state level.
Boelter has not entered any pleas and could face the death penalty if convicted on the federal charges.
Meanwhile, Boelter's wife has remained in hiding - as the accused assassin's defiant family were tight-lipped concerning her whereabouts, telling a DailyMail.com reporter to 'piss off.'
Shaken mom-of-five, Jenny rang pals only to say she was in a 'safe' location but wouldn't reveal where she was.
She fled the family's bucolic farmhouse home in Green Isle, Minnesota, the morning of June 14 after Boelter hinted that he had done something monstrous in a 6.18am text.
'Dad went to war last night,' wrote of her 57-year-old husband. 'There's gonna be some people coming to the house armed and trigger happy and I don't want you guys around.'

As news broke that Boelter had allegedly gunned down two lawmakers and their spouses in Minneapolis, Jenny was pulled over driving through Onamia, 90 miles north.
She had their youngest children in the car along with their passports, $10,000 in cash and two handguns, according to federal court filings.
Jenny, the president of the couple's private security firm, consented to a voluntary search of her electronic devices but wasn't arrested during the 10am traffic stop.
There's nothing in her husband's charging documents to suggest she had advance knowledge of his alleged plot to slaughter dozens of Democrat lawmakers and pro-abortion activists.
Jenny has not commented publicly since Boelter was captured Sunday evening and charged with multiple counts of murder and stalking.
Her brother Jason Doskocil, 54, had a blunt message for DailyMail.com when we asked about her whereabouts.
'I'm sorry, we are not going to talk to nobody - so piss off,' he replied.
