Three suspects in connected killings had prestigious academic backgrounds

Three young people with prestigious, accomplished academic backgrounds are suspected in at least two brutal, connected killings.

Maximilian Snyder, 22, and Teresa Youngblut, 21, sought a marriage license in Washington State in November. They have each been charged by authorities in separate January killings that claimed the lives of a Border Patrol agent in Vermont and an 82-year-old landlord in Vallejo, according to police and court records obtained by Open Vallejo, a California news outlet. 

Maximilian Snyder, a 22-year-old data scientist arrested in Northern California on Friday on suspicion of murder, and Teresa Youngblut, the 21-year-old computer science student charged last week in connection with the shooting death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland, appear to follow a fringe, self-described “vegan Sith” ideology that started in the Bay Area and has connections to violence, according to police records, an interview with a person familiar with the group, and years of social media and blog posts reviewed by Open Vallejo.

Both Snyder and Youngblut attended a prestigious day school in Seattle and studied computer science. Snyder was an award-winning computer student who later studied at Oxford University in England. 

Snyder and Youngblut share their background in both computer science and a strong academic-oriented upbringing with Felix Bauckholt, the German national who was shot and killed in the Coventry, Vermont encounter in which Maland died. Bauckholt was an award-winning math/computer science student in high school and (in Canada) in college, and had a career as a ‘quantitative trader’ in New York City until he left his job there last year. He is the son of accomplished avant-garde music composer Carola Bauckholt, winner of numerous awards and a former visiting faculty member at Harvard University.

A motion filed Monday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont alleges that Youngblut had been in frequent contact with “a person of interest in a homicide investigation in Vallejo, California.” The Vallejo homicide suspect was also previously detained but not charged in connection with a double homicide in Pennsylvania, according to federal prosecutors, who did not elaborate.

In 2022, landlord Curtis Lind was allegedly impaled with a sword and blinded in one eye during an attack by several young people who lived in box trucks on his Vallejo property and had stopped paying Lind during the pandemic-era rent moratorium. Court records obtained by Open Vallejo show that Lind was set to testify against his alleged assailants as the sole eyewitness in a criminal trial scheduled for April.

  1. So much for “prestigious academic backgrounds”. A dirtbag by any other name (or privilege) would smell the same. 

    • Sounds like remnants of the Charles Manson gang. Young people living off the grid with an ideology to spread violence and chaos. Evil thrives when good people do nothing. Sounds a lot like Vermont. It sounds a lot like history repeating itself.

  2. this is all over the news, Transtifa,think antifa but theyre all trans activists terrorists related to killings in Delaware County, Pa and at least another one in California, follow Andy Ngo on X, I think he nails it!

    • 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.

  3. Waiting for the autopsy report to be released. The bullet that struck Malands neck may have passed thru his neck and has not been found. They need proof that it came from Youngbluts 40 caliber weapon. People are wondering why she has not been charged with murder.

  4. One opinion I heard that is worth talking about – what happens when these genious young adults are hired by corporations? Would they not have the ability to create all kinds of chaos and sabatoge inside a business? Would they not have the ability to swipe information and use it for nefarious purposes – espionage, corrupting files, laying codes down to blow up servers, selling confidential information, blackmail, etc. etc. A Pandora’s Box from the crypt has cracked open and many are watching this case very closely and wonder how much more damage lays in wait, undetected.

  5. Question. What was the name of Malands future bride and if he worked at the pentagon during 911 he must have known the details of that operation.

    • I think possibly, because there is no actual murder charge, it might have been friendly fire that killed the BP during the shooting. If that’s the case, it was likely unintentional. I can’t see how this could have been an arranged hit.

      Anyway, there will be a trial… one perp is alive, and we’ll see what happens.

  6. Ya gotta love the avant-garde compositions. Look her up on YouTube.

    BTW, non-binary means non-human. There is no such thing as a human who is non-binary. Or any living creature that requires a male and a female contribution for reproduction. They are telling us something directly that we are ignoring.

    Sorry, my remarks here are besides the topic under discussion.
    But I do think it’s important to acknowledge, regardless how this case goes.

    • There is never enough people thinking outside of the box of beliefs they live with. We live in a country and state in which the majorities of both are uninformed, refuse to think on their own and rely on a corrupt media to tell them what to think. With all the information channels available to people we still live in the idiot apocalypse. Even on this site there has been very little reference to the transgender cult they belong to. Must not upset anyone with the truth.
