The mysterious duo who were pulled over in Coventry, Vt. in the deadly shootout are leftist trans militants with alleged ties to a trans terror cell allegedly involved in three other homicides.
On Inauguration Day, the shocking news that a US Border Patrol officer had been shot dead near the Canadian border in Vermont in an incident involving a now-deceased foreign national was overshadowed by coverage of Donald Trump's events in the nation's capital.
One week later, a 21-year-old Washington woman was charged over the deadly incident, but little has been reported about her and her deceased accomplice, a German man.
The Post Millennial can report that the mysterious duo who were pulled over in Coventry, Vt. in the deadly shootout are leftist trans militants with alleged ties to a trans terror cell.
Around a week before the Jan. 20 attack, federal law enforcement had been surveilling German man Felix "Ophelia" Baukholt and Seattle woman Teresa "Milo" Consuelo Youngblut, after staff at a Lyndonville, Vt. motel reported seeing them with black tactical clothing, weapons and protective militia-style equipment.
When law enforcement contacted them, they claimed to be looking to purchase property in the area. They promptly checked out of the motel afterward on Jan. 14. Baukholt was a biological male who identified as trans and used feminine pronouns. He was an award-winning youth math genius who later graduated from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. German media reports that he comes from the Freiburg area.
German trans person Felix 'Ophelia' Baukholt died in the shootout
Around 2021, he was hired as a quantitative trader at Tower Research Capital in New York. He lived in New Jersey. It is believed Baukholt was in the US on an H-1B visa. The DOJ alleges he was armed in the car and tried to aim his firearm before being shot dead.
Youngblut, who is accused of firing the surprise shots that killed Air Force Veteran and border agent David Maland, was injured by returning fire. She is a biological female who identifies as trans and lists her neo-pronouns as "xe/xem/xyrs" on social media. She was a University of Washington student.
Youngblut's family had reported her missing to Seattle Police in May 2024. Her family said she was in a controlling relationship and cut off contact, according to the police report. Youngblut filed a marriage application with a man named Maximilian Snyder in November 2024, though it doesn't appear they actually followed through, according to public records.
Court filings by prosecutors say Youngblut was estranged from her family and traveled internationally in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Her social media account on BlueSky shows she followed Antifa and far-left accounts.

While receiving in-patient medical care at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, Youngblut was charged with one count of using a deadly weapon while assaulting a Border Patrol agent and one count of using and discharging a firearm during the assault.
"I did not think it was likely Ophelia would be involved in direct violence—she was not aggressive and I didn't know about her having weapons," Jessica Taylor, a friend of Bauckholt, says.
Taylor, a 32-year-old woman in Berkeley, Calif., has met Baukholt repeatedly over the years and was the first person to confirm his identity as "Ophelia." Bauckholt was known online among trans networks in the artificial intelligence fields.
"[Ophelia] may have been radicalized by some person or group," Taylor speculates.
Taylor showed TPM written communications she had with Bauckholt in 2022 where he discussed being in contact with members of the "Ziz" group. The group was or is a Vallejo, Calif.-based violent trans commune centered around a cult of personality of leader, "Ziz," whose real name is Jack Lasota.
"Her [Youngblut] associations with other individuals suspected of violent acts also warrants caution," a prosecutor wrote in a court filing on Jan. 27. "The individual who purchased the firearms the defendant and Bauckholt possessed on January 20, 2025, is a person of interest in a dual-homicide investigation in Delaware County, Pennsylvania."
Alleged members of the "Ziz" group are under investigation for a double homicide of an elderly couple in January 2022 in Pennsylvania and the murder of an 82-year-old in Vallejo. The court filing strongly suggests Youngblut and Bauckholt were in contact with that group.
"Both the defendant and the person who purchased the firearms in Vermont that the defendant and her companion possessed on January 20, 2025, are acquainted with and have been in frequent contact with an individual who was detained by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during that homicide investigation; that individual is also a person of interest in a homicide investigation in Vallejo, California."
Federal prosecutors allege Teresa Consuelo Youngblut and Felix Bauckholt received at least one of their firearms from a person of interest in murder cases where details match up to the 'Ziz' group killings
Bauckholt flew back into the U.S. in the hours before the double homicide in Pennsylvania, the prosecutor said, citing data from a Department of Homeland Security database.
Snyder, the Seattle man who applied for a marriage license with Youngblut, was arrested on Jan. 24 in Solano County, Calif. and charged with murder over the killing of the Vallejo elderly victim. It is unclear if he is the "person of interest" mentioned in the Vermont federal court filing by prosecutors.

A spokeswoman declined to comment when asked about Bauckholt and Youngblut's gender identities and details about the prosecution's allegations.
"As per our general policy, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Vermont does not comment on ongoing cases beyond the public record," a spokeswoman said.
After the shooting, a bomb squad investigated Bauckholt and Youngblut's Toyota Prius Hatchback. Investigators found two pistols, ammunition clips, night-vision goggles, two full-face respirators, a ballistic helmet, 48 rounds of hollow point ammunition, shooting range targets, interstate lodging information, two-way radios and a dozen electronic devices, some of which were wrapped in foil.

Taylor, Baukholt's friend, has come under pressure by trans activists for speaking about her deceased friend in the early days of President Trump's second administration, which is marked by executive orders empowering border security and opposing gender ideology.
"I don't really think there should be a general obligation for trans people to cover for each other in terms of crimes," Taylor responds.
Youngblut is scheduled for her first federal court appearance on Jan. 27.

PICS AT SITE WILL NOT LOAD FOR SOME REASON........................
Can we bring America back to real justice???? - FIRING SQUADS!!
Saw this a day or so ago. This explains why a German math whiz who was earning a good living and was set up for a very comfortable life would do something so monumentally stupid and self destructive as to start shooting at border patrol. It was a mentally disturbed tranny and Klantifa supporter.
It’s easy to get completely lost while trying to keep up with she who is he, he who is she. @#$%
Andy Ngo does real reporting and has for years at great personal risk.
He needs to receive an award.
Perhaps there needs to be a FreeRepublic Award for truthful reporting that goes national?
“The FBI confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations had been conducting an inquiry into the suspects and a potential third accomplice in the days leading up to the shooting.
“However, it remains unclear whether Border Patrol agents had been fully briefed on the nature of the investigation before they conducted the traffic stop, a tactic known as a “***Whisper Stop***,” in which officers are not given full details of an ongoing investigation.”
“The search also revealed an apparent journal belonging to Youngblut and documents containing identification, and utility, lease, travel, and lodging information pertaining to multiple states.”

Shocking, but this is just a symptom...
Shoving God out of our culture has consequences.
It seems as though this story is just scratching the surface here. Is there a trans organization out there doing murders? Why? Lots of questions, very few answers.
It’s been made into the ‘cool’ thing to be and do.
Kinda like Double Naught Spying back in the 60’s.
They are mental cases to begin with, then they see a chance to become ‘famous’ and ‘celebrated’ by a peer group that has political agendas that are destructive to the system that makes them feel oppressed and shuns them because they are weird.
Their egos are massaged and their mental defects are praised so they join the crowd and suddenly their status within their social bubble is raised to its zenith.
It’s not real difficult to understand their reasoning, such as it is..............
It appears these two “Trans” activists have been active in Antifa and have associates who are “persons of interest” in other violent crimes, including murders.
Seems that far too high a percentage of mass shootings and other such crime are being committed by trannies.
Everything loaded ok for me. Safari browser, if that’s any help.
It seems these two ‘useful idiots’ were more ‘idiot’ than ‘useful’..................
Yes, it does, but you will be called a ‘transphobic bigot’ if you point it out................
Indeed it does. I’m wondering about the financial status of these sickos. It seems like they’re privileged white kids with heads filled with social poison, kind of like ANTIFA .
This whole ‘trans serial killer cult’ thing is something I’ve not heard of before.
Great reporting, Andy Ngo!
That Taylor girl had better watch her back. These TransTifa wackos will have a contract out on her / zhir / it!
Youngblut was charged with one count of using a deadly weapon while assaulting a Border Patrol agent and one count of using and discharging a firearm during the assault.
—
But was not charged with murder, even though she/it shot dead the border agent David Maland.
Also explains why the enemedia is ignoring the story.
