On February 12, 2026, at approximately 1:00 A.M., police responded to 1XXX Ivy Avenue, St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, on a report of a burglary. The complainant, VBX, told police that when he arrived home, he observed that his house was rummaged through. While cleaning up, VBX observed that he was missing two laptops and several credit cards. VBX reported that the credit cards had already been used without permission. VBX also advised that he found a prybar in the bedroom that did not belong to him.

In a follow-up statement, VBX reported that his girlfriend, VS, had credit cards in their bedroom, one of which was used without permission to make purchases at Pappy’s Chicken and Burlington Coat Factory. VS’s credit card was used to make two unauthorized purchases in the amounts of $46.87 and $41.77 at Pappy’s Chicken in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota on February 11. In addition, VS’s credit card was used to make two unauthorized purchases in the amounts of $311.68 and $69.73 at Burlington Coat Factory in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, on February 11 at 8:06 and 8:12 P.M. Police received video surveillance from Burlington Coat Factory, which showed a male and a female using VS’s credit card.

VBX identified the female as his ex-girlfriend, MARIANA THERESE BUSCHMANN – [DOB redacted], and her new boyfriend. VBX told the investigator that he dated BUSCHMANN from December 2024 through May 2025. VBX said she moved out of his residence with the help of a male, who is her new boyfriend and was using VS’s credit card that was stolen during the burglary with BUSCHMANN. The investigator spoke with BUSCHMANN’s mother, AB, who said that they are currently estranged from BUSCHMANN. AB said they believed that BUSCHMANN was suffering from mental health challenges and drifting between houses and relationships.
