A 21-year-old woman from Washington state is set to appear in federal court in Burlington, Vermont, facing two weapons charges in connection with the death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland, 44. The fatal shooting occurred during a roadside shootout in Coventry, a small town near the Canadian border.
According to an FBI affidavit, the woman, identified as Teresa Youngblut, and a German companion, Felix Bauckholt, were being watched by authorities after concerns were raised by an employee at a hotel where they were staying. The duo was seen carrying a gun and wearing black tactical gear, prompting investigators to conduct periodic surveillance starting on Jan. 14.
