Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

He Sat Next to His Victim for 7 Years The Boelter-Hoffman Connection
Description: Uncover the chilling story of ultimate betrayal where Vance Boelter spent seven years sitting across the table from Senator John Hoffman at Minnesota Workforce Development Board meetings while secretly planning his murder. This deep-dive investigation reveals how a professional relationship became the perfect cover for surveillance and premeditation. From 2016 to 2023, these two men discussed workforce policies, shared coffee breaks, and participated in votes together - all while Boelter was allegedly compiling his 45-person hit list that would shock the nation.
This episode examines the disturbing psychology of long-term deception and how Boelter used his board position to gather intelligence on his future victim. We analyze meeting records, explore their interactions, and reveal how professional proximity provided the perfect cover for plotting political assassination. The investigation exposes how Boelter's security company, Praetorian Guard Security Services - named after Roman emperor assassins - should have been a warning sign.
Through exclusive analysis, we trace the timeline from colleague to killer, examining how Boelter maintained his facade while planning mass political violence. This isn't just about one murder - it's about how extremists can hide in plain sight within our democratic institutions. Discover the warning signs that were missed, the opportunities for intervention that passed by, and the terrifying reality that your colleague could be your biggest threat.
