A man planning to marry the Washington State woman who has been charged in connection with a fatal shootout that claimed the life of a U.S. Border Patrol Agent in Vermont last week, is now behind bars on a homicide charge in California, according to news accounts.
Maximilian Snyder, 22, had been part of a manhunt in Vermont this month, according to law enforcement sources, but by Friday he was in California where he was arrested on a charge of murder in the Jan. 17 death of an 82-year-old landlord, records show.
Snyder, who is from the Seattle area, and Teresa Youngblut, 21, secured a marriage license last November 2024 in King County in Washington State, The Seattle Times has reported. It was unclear if any wedding took place. The license was obtained six months after Youngblut became estranged from her parents.
Youngblut is jailed in South Burlington on two federal felony assault charges stemming from the shootout on Interstate 91 in Coventry on Jan. 20. She appeared in U.S. District Court in Burlington on Monday afternoon for a brief initial hearing. A detention motion was delayed until Thursday morning by Magistrate Judge Kevin J. Doyle.
Youngblut is charged in U.S. District Court in a criminal complaint with two felony counts: The intentional use of a deadly weapon while forcibly assaulting a federal law enforcement while in the performance of his official duties. The second felony charge is for discharging a firearm during an assault with deadly weapon, records show.
She is both a serious danger to the community and a risk to flee, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Michael P. Drescher. Doyle noted Youngblut could be detained under the law because her charges involve claims of violence. The defense says it plans to contest detention.
Snyder is due for a hearing on his murder charge Tuesday afternoon in Solano County Superior Court, according to California records. He is being held without bail by the Solano County Sheriff’s Department. Jail records say he is 5-foot-8-inches and 140 pounds.
Snyder and Youngblut had both attended the swanky, private Lakeside School in Seattle and were interested in computer science.
Snyder’s name had been privately mentioned by law enforcement in Vermont last week, but Vermont News First could not verify his direct involvement in the shootout in Orleans County and opted not to print his name.
He was believed to be associated with the other two suspects when they were staying at two motels in the Northeast Kingdom.
Vermont News First did report on Monday that Youngblut appeared to be linked to an unnamed suspect in three other out-of-state homicides, including one in California. It was based on federal court records in Burlington.
Youngblut was wounded and her companion Felix Bauckholt, a German national, was shot dead during the shootout with the U.S. Border Patrol on I-91 in Coventry about 3:15 p.m. Jan. 20. Youngblut reportedly fired without warning during the traffic stop about 9 miles south of the U.S.-Canada border.
Border Patrol Agent David “Chris” Maland, 44, of Newport, who made the initial traffic stop, was wounded in the neck and was rushed to North Country Hospital in Newport where he was pronounced dead about 4 p.m. Two other Border Patrol Agents arrived just before the shooting began and at least one returned fire.
A federal prosecutor in Vermont wrote that the individual who bought the firearms that Youngblut and Buckholts possessed on Jan. 20 “is a person of interest in a dual homicide investigation in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Bauckholt flew into the United States in the hours preceding that Pennsylvania homicide.”
Both Youngblut and the unnamed person who bought the two firearms in Vermont that the Youngblut and her companion possessed on Jan. 20 “are acquainted with and have been in frequent contact with an individual who was detained by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during that homicide investigation,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew J. Lasher wrote.
“That individual is also a person of interest in a homicide investigation in Vallejo, California” Lasher said in a 5-page motion seeking Youngblut’s detention.
The Seattle Times reported both graduated from the Lakeside School: Snyder in 2020 and Youngblut in 2022. Snyder went on to Oxford where he studied computer science and philosophy, the Times said. Youngblut had attended the University of Washington.
Lakeside has about 876 middle and high school students and boasts a 100 percent graduate rate going onto four-year colleges, its website notes. Tuition is $44,730 a year at the co-ed day school for grades 5-12.
Snyder is facing a charge of killing Curtis Lind, 82, who was stabbed to death outside his Vallejo home on Jan. 17, according to Open Vallejo, a local news site in the Bay Area.
Open Vallejo reported Lind also had been stabbed in 2022 and was due to testify against his reported attackers at a trial in April. Lind was impaled in the chest with a Samurai sword and also lost his right eye in the attack, news accounts show. His attackers were tenants that were in a beef about not paying rent owed to him, records show.
The Seattle Times reported in recent days that Youngblut and her parents became estranged last May. The parents reported to Seattle Police that they believed she had fallen into a controlling relationship and had been directed to move out of the home. Police said they could do nothing because she was an adult.
Yet her parents, Eric and Carla Youngblut, sat in the second row at the federal courthouse in Burlington on Monday. They were joined by an unidentified older gentleman and a second younger man in a suit. The foursome declined to speak to reporters.
When the court hearing ended, Carla Youngblut attempted to make hand signals to her daughter, but she had no reaction as she swung around to look at the gallery from the defense table.
Vermont News First had received messages in recent days from readers sharing social media posts that had raised questions about linking the suspects in the Vermont shooting to a radical fringe group known as “Zizians.”
They weaponize and have a never surrender attitude, which makes them resist, even with violence, according to the posts.
Lasher seemed to hint at that conduct in his motion seeking Youngblut’s detention pending trial.
“An originally peaceful interaction between the United States Border Patrol and the occupants of a vehicle became confrontational based on the defendant’s conduct, and she then unnecessarily and inexplicably escalated to deadly violence,” he wrote.
The Vermont court hearing was continued for three days because authorities said they needed to further investigate Youngblut’s background and review the evidence collected.
The seized evidence included a journal by Youngblut that mentions her apparent use of hallucinogenic drugs.
Youngblut’s journal had phrases that included “coming up on acid, and “not really sure what to spend this trip on.” It also said, “This lsd trip seems pretty mellow” and “i fell kinda high vibrationy maybe more so than other lsd trips?”
Authorities also are likely to want to go through all the cellphones and other electronic devices that were seized as evidence.
Youngblut’s association with other individuals suspected of violent acts also warrants caution before a decision is made about her possible release, Lasher wrote in his detention motion.
“The defendant’s possession and use of a firearm, combined with her itinerancy and associations, suggests she poses a current and substantial danger to the community that could not be addressed by a condition or a combination of conditions of pretrial release,” Lasher said.
Based on the serial numbers on the two firearms used by the suspects, they were reportedly purchased in February by an Orleans resident from a federal licensed gun dealer in Mount Tabor, which is about 20 miles south of Rutland, Lasher wrote.
The gun buyer from Orleans was not identified in court papers. Newport and Mount Tabor are about 150 miles apart.

Waiting for the comments as I am sure the public has a better understanding of the event.
Has anyone bothered to check these two hotels out and there owner? There is a lot of finger pointing in the comments of WCAX’s initial post about the murder of the BP agent. In example if they have cash don’t question anything and rent them a room,
giving people rides across the border, etc.
Well we finally found a school more expensive than what we have in Vermont, just think a bit more money and this could be our student body.
Expect to see more radicalized Gen Z’ers. These were from Seattle and L.A. and there are plenty more where they came from.
Here’s more right here. Nothing in the article about the group being a transgender terrorist group. For those who want to learn more about this bizarre couple and their affiliations read this article from Andy Ngo of antifa reporting fame in Seattle.

Exactly, because they were allowed to do what they wanted in Oregon with no consequences. The state should have arrested them all as domestic terrorists
VIP 1, Thanks for putting in that link ! You will probably never see that in Digger, or the Bridge !
This left-coast princess needs to stay behind bars, there’s more to this story as time goes on………………… a left-coast lunatic !!
She and her partner surely weren’t her to go skiing, and if so they bought the wrong equipment, according to what was found in her ” Prius ” it sounds a little fishy.
A sign of the times? For once, the diggers did some dogged digging, and what they’ve turned up is starting to remind me of the Manson Family cult killings (trannies not hippies). Friends of yours, Becca? https://vtdigger.org/2025/01/27/suspects-in-killings-of-vermont-border-patrol-agent-and-california-man-connected-by-marriage-license-extreme-ideology/
Antifa poster children.
Why ANY discussion is being had regarding whether or not Youngblut should be held pending trial is beyond me. She is one of two people (both armed) that opened fire (or attempted to) on a federal law enforcement officer and subsequently killed him. Sorry, jail until proven guilty or innocent! As to the trans stuff that others have been uncovering and sharing…very interesting indeed. I gotta say though when we’re talking trans men and women, I need clarity. As I read the provided links it took a while to finally learn what the biological sex of the different players were. Could we just start saying out front something like “trans with external or internal hardware”? Then it’ll be clear from the start.
Trans and non-binary are two misleading terms used by the letters which have been added to Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual organizations (not “community”) in the last 30 or so years… It used to be GLB. Then the lesbians took over and put their letter ahead of everyone else’s. Y’know… women first, out of gender courtesy, or something.
That was enough BS right there. Then they added all the other letters that DO NOT BELONG TO BIOLOGICAL SEX PARTNER PREFERENCE whatsoever in the binary sense.
I don’t and won’t use the word “community” because that’s also BS.
You live in a neighborhood by geographical closeness. You belong to an ethnicity by DNA. You join groups, like religions and civic groups. Calling everything someone is involved in or related to a “community” is a bit of a stretch.
Trans is so open-ended that it could mean anything on any given day or moment.
And non-binary is not even human. There is no such thing as a living creature which requires a male and a female to produce becoming a non-binary creature, unless something went wrong and they are born with no genitals at all. They’d still be human, but with an ever-changing chromosomal activity or none at all. I don;t think that would even count as intersexed. Non-binary is not the description for intersex.
For the case of someone getting gender reassignment to be seen as the opposite sex of what they were born to be, their situation is not well-defined by the word “trans.”
I would reject trans as a descriptor for them. Transsexual, maybe. Transgender, meh… no, because the queering of people is the transing. You can cross-dress and be transgender. It’s not an actual thing. You’d just be in drag, like a gal wearing a 3 piece suit with a necktie. It’s just clothing. Or a haircut. Or a wig. It’s not harmful in and of itself, as we’ve known female impersonators for thousands of years. And women disguising themselves as men for reasons of getting ahead (ie, authors, scientists, artists, musicians). And a real transsexual is typically BINARY in that they live as the opposite sex and have desires of intimacy as if they were the opposite sex.
I don’t buy the remainder letters b/c those are mere expressions of just plain being strange, for the sake of being strange, like most artiste types who need to make a statement, like in fashion or music, and go full-tard to be different. But why add them to GLB? Because it’s been made political through the ideology of God knows what. It’s not even true socialistic. And when you study communism, you know for a fact that communists do not tolerate this kind of crapola. Communists are hard-core conservative about their authority and cracking down on anything unusual.
What we’re seeing today is the “space-age” AI generation of endless categories and morphings from one thing to another. A scrambling of everything into the collective global databases. A retardation of humanity into a data soup of multi-media “reality TV” hyper insanity. These people are gonna become more and more brazen and less human. They don’t believe in reality.
And it won’t be long from now.
Youngblut should never be released. She comes from privilege and has zero compassion for anyone other than herself and her friends. She has lived a life of no
consequences and chose to use hallucinogenic drugs that have permanently altered her mind. Here it is — kid — you took at least one life and you lose yours !
This story gets more bizarre by the day!
NEWS FLASH: The two German shooters that killed a Border Patrol Agent in Vermont were transgenders. A man living as a woman and a woman living as a man. Wow where we have seen this before? That brings the total of shootings by transgenders, antisemites and mental defectives to about eighteen. And by mental defectives I mean persons that were on psychotropic medication.

The Vallejo California case is enough to puke a dog. What those genious punks did to that elderly man was purely demonic. So smart, so educated, so celebrated – yet, there is a sinister, nefarious, unhinged ticking time bomb inside – they are full of hatred and extremely dangerous – their brains snap like twigs and bloody mayhem is all they contemplate and scheme.
We now see the rotten fruit from the seeds planted inside of children’s minds and bodies. Is it the LSD or is it the chemical sterilization drugs and dozens of innoculations? Big Pharma and mind control tactics…Dr. Frankenstein couldn’t touch the insidious nature of creating monsters that are now free roaming and preying upon our communities. The enemy is next door, on our roads, in our businesses, and stalking their next victims. Heads on a swivel – take nothing for granted anymore, particularly public safety.
We are not raising/ educating our children in what is the foundation of western civilization, but what is Marxist thought, I’m God, I know everything, I will protest, I will win at any cost, which is ultimately your soul sold to the one whom rule for radicals is dedicated. This too is the direction of the Vermont education system, government and ancillary groups of useful idiots. If we give them more money, this will be our fruit in Vermont.
Yup.
