Approximately 70 names were found in the vehicle that Boelter used to commit the crimes, which was disguised as a police patrol.\n\nThe acting federal prosecutor for Minnesota<\/strong>, Joe Thompson, indicated that Boelter had been spying on his potential victims for months, gathering detailed information about them and their families. \u201cThis was meticulously planned\u201d, he stated.\n\nThe Illinois State Police (ISP)<\/strong> confirmed that people whose names appeared on the lists have been contacted. In a statement, it noted that the information gathered by Boelter “contained many inaccuracies” and that agents are assessing the risks to those who were mentioned.\n\nAlthough authorities handle the lists with caution, the governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker<\/strong>, rejected the idea that it is a \u201cblacklist\u201d. \u201cWhat was found was a disordered compilation of names without clear indications of direct intention\u201d, he stated.\n\nAuthorities are still investigating the motive behind the attack, but they highlight that several people on the list had publicly expressed their support for the right to abortion, which could suggest a possible ideological background.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
