Dylan Adrian Day, 34, of Minneapolis was sentenced Wednesday to more than 14 years in federal prison; Bryan Joseph Hodapp, 37, of Gilbert, Minn., will serve just more than 13 years.
The two are connected to the deaths of Mitchell Dale Saltzman, 41, of Virginia, Minn., and Raymond John Lossing, 55, of Cook, Minn., who were found dead by family members in May 2022 in Biwabik Township in northern Minnesota. Two women were taken to a Duluth hospital where one was in life-threatening condition.
A Lake Superior Violent Offender Task Force investigation found that Hodapp had arranged a drug deal between Saltzman, who traveled with one of the women, and Day in the Twin Cities area, according to a news release from St. Louis County.
Carlton County, just southwest of Duluth, hadn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since Herbert Hoover in 1928. Trump snapped that nearly centurylong streak earlier this month.
