NBC News reports:

Investigators had previously processed the home as a crime scene before it was boarded up on Sunday morning, with a police trailer camera left in front, officials said.

Hortman’s family had “removed items of value from the home on Tuesday,” police said.

On Wednesday morning, police said they discovered “that the plywood covering the rear window of the home had been pried off and the window broken to gain entry.”

The assassination of Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman was already extremely weird but it just got even weirder than it already was.

Per CBS News:

Anyone with information on the break-in, including neighborhood residents who have surveillance cameras, is asked to contact the Brooklyn Park Police Department at 763-493-8222.

The man accused of killing the Hortmans, 57-year-old Vance Boelter, is in custody and facing federal and state murder charges following a 36-plus-hour manhunt that authorities say was the largest of its kind in state history.

Investigators accuse Boelter of also shooting and seriously wounding Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette about an hour before killing the Hortmans.

Authorities also believe Boelter visited the homes of two other state lawmakers in the metro that same morning, one of whom wasn’t home. The other, Sen. Ann Rest, was at home, but Boelter was reportedly scared off by a police officer before approaching the residence.

In an interview with CBS News, Melissa Hortman’s mother, Lisa Haluptzok, said the pain of her daughter’s death is “mind-numbing.”

“It’s been very hard the last few days,” her brother Patrick Haluptzok said. “In what seems unfair and tragic, the way her last night was spent. We’re just trying to get by.”
