The bank contacted police again on Wednesday May 2 when a check cleared from Lewis' checking account to State Farm Insurance. When police contacted the insurance agent, they were told that a man identifying himself as Lewis had taken out an insurance policy on a motorcycle and a truck registered to Lewis. However, Hull was obviously not a very savvy conman, as he listed his home address and phone number on the policy application.
As police started connecting the dots with the obvious paper trail Hull left behind, they received a call from Lewis' sister, who reported seeing her brothers missing Ford F-350 pickup in north St. Cloud. A unit was immediately dispatched to the scene, and a traffic stop was conducted. When police confronted the driver, he identified himself as Lewis Wilczek. Authorities, knowing his true identity, arrested Hull for providing false information and on outstanding warrants he had for unrelated criminal cases. Police were anxious to question Hull about Lewis, but he refused to talk and requested a lawyer.

When police searched Hull's apartment, they found an assortment of legal documents in Lewis' name as well as some writing in a notebook, later identified as belonging to Hull, that described a plot to murder Lewis in his sleep and dispose of his body.

Lewis Wilczek |
Lewis James Wilczek was very successful for his age. After graduating high school, he attended Central Lakes College where he received his certification as an automotive service technician. Not long thereafter, he opened his own business, Performance Exhaust and Metal Fabrication Inc. He also worked part time at his parents' business, Paul's Fireplace Wood. Lewis had a passion for working on classic trucks, and according to friends, he owned a fleet of 20, six of which he had restored to running condition.
