In a strange story out of Minnesota, a man allegedly murdered his neighbor after expressing the suspicion that she was an alien. The unsettling incident reportedly occurred last Wednesday morning in the community of Windom when Jamie Voelker roused an unnamed witness at his residence with some rather strange concerns. According to a police report, the man "was talking about aliens." Specifically, Voelker indicated that he thought his neighbor was just such an otherworldly visitor and that a UFO would be coming to "take them" away.
During the conversation, his neighbor entered the residence after it was later learned that Voelker had called her for help. The witness subsequently heard a series of gunshots followed by a commotion. The wounded woman was then seen staggering out of the house toward her home. The stunned witness immediately followed her and reported the incident to police, who arrived at the victim's house to find her badly injured from being shot several times. Sadly, the man's neighbor died shortly after being transported to the hospital.
Cops at the scene of the shooting were soon informed of a second call to 911 from a nearby resident who reported a break-in at their home. Responding to that report, police found Voelker seemingly hiding in a bathtub full of blood-stained water. He did not offer any additional insight into why he suspected his neighbor was an alien, nor why he allegedly shot her because of those concerns. Voelker has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder.
