Charges were filed Tuesday against a St. Cloud man for allegedly fatally stabbing his wife, the daughter of a candidate for Minnesota governor.

Dylan Michael Tobler, 23, faces one count of second-degree murder in connection with the death of 22-year-old Hallie Marie Tobler. Hallie Tobler was the daughter of Republican candidate for governor Jeff Johnson, a former St. Cloud City Council member.

If convicted, Dylan Tobler faces up to 40 years in prison. He has not yet made a court appearance.

Dylan Tobler reportedly suffered self-inflicted injuries, and was treated under guard at St. Cloud Hospital. St. Cloud police reported Tuesday morning that he had been released from the hospital and taken to the Stearns County Jail.

2. tobler sounds like he is going for an insanity defense.

She appears to have been killed sometime between 3 Feb and 7 Feb? If the earliest part if the timeframe, wouldn't somebody have noticed?

3. Dylan Tobler is/was her husband

The 22-year-old daughter of Minnesota GOP gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson was allegedly stabbed to death by her husband Saturday in what police said was an apparent botched murder-suicide.

Officers with the St. Cloud Police Department responded to a residence in the 3100 block of 40 Ave. S. around 8:20 p.m. Saturday for a "medical emergency."

Officers located a 22-year-old female – later identified as Hallie Marie Tobler – with "multiple wounds."

A 23-year-old male – later identified as Dylan Michael Tobler – was also found at the scene with what investigators believe were self-inflicted stab wounds.

May the family find peace moving forward.
