The Brooklyn Park home of murdered Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband was broken into overnight Tuesday, police said.

The house has been boarded up since Sunday following the grisly double murder, allegedly at the hands of accused political assassin Vance Boelter.

The former Minnesota house speaker and her husband, Mark, were gunned down after Boelter allegedly shot and wounded state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.

“The home was once again processed by crime scene investigators for evidence of the burglary,” cops said. “The home appeared to have been searched by an unknown individual; however, the family has indicated that they don’t believe anything is missing.”

Authorities are asking neighbors to review their surveillance cameras for any sign of the intruder and to contact police with any information.

Boelter is facing federal charges including stalking and murder for allegedly hunting down lawmakers and their spouses in the North Star State. Cops said he had a cache of automatic weapons in his car and a hit list of 45 elected officials and abortion providers in the state.
