Accused Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter’s most recent job was extracting eyeballs from corpses at a funeral home, according to a pal.
Boelter — a 57-year-old married dad who allegedly murdered Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and wounded another Minnesota pol and his wife early Saturday — was carrying out his gruesome extraction work as part of an organ donation program, said the friend and sometime roommate David Carlson.
“I knocked on his door, and I said, ‘Hey Vance, are you there?’ ” Carlson recalled of his interaction with the accused killer around 7 p.m. Friday — just hours before Boelter unleashed his carnage.
“He goes, ‘Yeah, I’m in bed, and I’m trying to get some rest for work,'” Carlson said from the home in north Minneapolis where Boelter rented a room from him.
“He’d always said, ‘I need rest for work so I’m sharp’ because he was extracting eyeballs. You gotta be sharp for that,” Carlson said.

“He worked six days a week between two funeral homes — helping one of the businesses remove bodies from crime scenes, the Times said.
The alleged assassin had taken courses in mortuary science in 2023 and 2024 at an Iowa community college, a rep for Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) told Local 5.”

Transplants would need to be done by actual medical professionals.
Goat Eyeballs Dish
Goat eyeballs are considered a delicacy in some cultures and are prepared in various ways. For instance, in certain regions, the goat’s head is cooked, and the eyes are left intact, often served to a guest of honor. The preparation involves inserting a fork into the side of the eye, twisting it, and then removing the eye.
In some culinary traditions, goat eyeballs are cooked with spices and other ingredients, such as ginger, garlic, onion, pepper, lemongrass, scallions, and salt.
In addition, there are creative and unconventional recipes that use goat eyeballs as an ingredient, such as a Halloween-themed dish where the eyeballs are made from lychees, grapes, and raisins, and are soaked in rum or other liquors to create a spooky, edible effect.
It is worth noting that while some people find the idea of eating goat eyeballs intriguing or even delicious, others may find it unappealing due to the texture and appearance of the organ.

I wonder if kids dissect frogs in school anymore?
I remember we would stick needles in their brains and scramble them and then we would cut the eyes out, and there was a part of them that would bounce like little rubber balls.
Exactly. Organ harvesting?
