Simple ~ the 1 stop flights all end up taking 6 to 8 hours. On the way from Boise to DCA he can leave at 8 AM. On the way from DCA to Boise he can have a choice of several flihts leaving at 6:40 AM.

Given that he seems to have been unaware of the police surveillance in MSP (well covered in the deviant sex sites) I'd suggest he hadn't taken that route for a while but had caught on to heightened surveillance in ORD (Chicago) ~ which has numerous beneficial flights between BOI and DCA.
