A man accused of murder in California appears to have sought a marriage license with a woman charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont. The woman, Teresa Youngblut, 21, of Washington state, faces two weapons charges in connection with the Jan. 20 death of 44-year-old Border Patrol Agent David Maland.
A prosecution motion seeking Youngblut's detention Monday says she was in frequent contact with someone who is a person of interest in a homicide investigation in Vallejo, California. Court records show that Maximilian Snyder, 22, was arrested by Vallejo police on Friday. He was charged Monday with murder and has a court appearance scheduled Tuesday in California's Solano County. An attorney was not listed for Snyder.
In November, individuals identified as Teresa Youngblut and Maximilian Snyder took out a marriage license, according to a records search in Washington state’s King County. The U.S. attorney's office in Vermont was asked if Snyder was the person of interest in the California case.
“As a general policy, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont does not comment on ongoing cases beyond the public record,” spokesperson Fabienne Boisvert-DeFazio responded in an email Tuesday. A message seeking comment was left with the FBI.
