Authorities became reacquainted with Oberender, now 32, late last year when a complaint was filed by someone who came across his Facebook page. When authorities examined the social networking account, they found photos of just a sampling of the man's extensive gun collection.
But upon first glance, the Carver County Sheriff's Office didn't see anything to spur intervention. An initial investigation found that there were no "disqualifiers" that would have prevented Oberender from owning any guns, Carver County Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud tells the Herald-Journal. When the leading law enforcement figure in the area came across the report shortly after, though, the agency started to become concerned.
Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson had reason to question the collection of guns - 17 years earlier he worked the case in which a teenage Oberender was convicted of killing his mother.
"The sheriff was one of the detectives on the case in 1995," Kamerud tells the paper. "He had a lot more knowledge of the case than the deputies who took the call."

On Saturday morning two buddies working together in a company in Yaroslavl came to work still high from yesterday's drinking marathon. Their boss refused to admit them to work, telling both to go home and sleep it off.
Instead of using public transport, the couple got into an old Toyota Corolla and started to drive homeward.
The 36-year-old driver made no allowance for his condition and after some time of reckless driving and speeding crashed right into the front of a small bus carrying some 20 passengers. The crash happened downtown on the Dobryninsky Bridge.
The bus sustained considerable damage, though the passengers remained luckily unhurt. The 33-year-old passenger in the car was killed. The rear part of Toyota Corolla was actually torn off the chassis.

Arthur Schirmer, a former associate pastor at a Methodist church in Reeders in northeast Pennsylvania, blamed the second death on a slow-speed car crash and said his first wife fell down the stairs. But authorities ultimately charged him with killing both women.
The verdict came after prosecutors argued in court that Schirmer clubbed Betty Schirmer on the head with a crowbar, then loaded her into their PT Cruiser and staged a low-speed accident.
Monroe County First Assistant District Attorney Michael Mancuso had asked jurors Tuesday to convict the 64-year-old of premeditated murder.

Tina Marie Alberson did not react as her sentence was announced. She was convicted last week of reckless injury to a child, a second-degree felony, in the July 2011 death of Jonathan James.
Jonathan's mother, Krista Bishop, and other relatives said they were pleased with the verdict.
"We got what we needed," Bishop told reporters outside the court.
Police had thought Jonathan's death was heat-related until the medical examiner's report indicated otherwise.
Brunost has a high concentration of fat and sugar
About 27 tonnes of caramelised brown goat cheese - a delicacy known as Brunost - caught light as it was being driven through the Brattli Tunnel at Tysfjord, northern Norway, last week.
The fire raged for five days and smouldering toxic gases were slowing the recovery operation, officials said.
The tunnel - which is said to be badly damaged - is likely to remain closed for several weeks, they added.

The Fox locked its jaws around the Alfie Whitelock's boot
The Fox locked its jaws around the Alfie Whitelock's boot
It locked its jaws around the child's boot as he screamed and pulled him along the ground, a newspaper reported.
But Alfie's father Lee Whitelock, 32, then ran to the rescue and chased off the fox. The animal then made a second lunge at the pair from behind.
Mr Whitelock, an estate agent, said he and his wife Saranya, 26, were left fearing what might have happened if their one-year-old daughter had been outside the home in Chislehurst, Kent.
He told The Sun: "We'd never leave Alice outside by herself but I hate to think what would have happened if the fox had attacked her."
Can you imagine graduating from a fairly high-ranked law school only to find yourself a few years later working as a janitor with a $250,000 debt?
Guns don't cause crime, student loans do:

Guns don't cause crime, student loans do:
A man who wore a three-dimensional Bucky Badger hat when he allegedly robbed an East Side credit union last week told police that he wants to go to prison and needed the money because he has $250,000 in student debt.
Randall H. Hubatch, 49, of Madison, was charged Friday with armed robbery for the Jan. 11 robbery of the Summit Credit Union, 1799 Thierer Road. What stood out about the robbery was Hubatch's choice of apparel, which included the Bucky Badger hat.
"If the district attorney agrees to send me to prison for a long time, then I will confess and plead guilty," Hubatch told Madison police Detective Tom Helgren after his arrest on Monday, according to a criminal complaint. "Otherwise, I have nothing else to say, and if released I will do it again."
Trial: Steven Lock at Ipswich Crown court who was inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey
Steven Lock said he and a woman partner had agreed a 'master/slave' session after both reading erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey.
The 43-year-old was today found not guilty of assault occasioning actually bodily harm after Ipswich Crown Court heard the woman had signed a 'sex slave' contract.
In the contract she had promised Mr Lock free use of her body, entitling him to lash her if she did not follow his rules, the jury was told.
Mr Lock explained he only continued whipping for 15 seconds because the woman did not use the safe word 'red.'

In the past two weeks police have found 18 bodies dumped along the streets, all of the bodies had been mutilated.
On Friday, police found Michele's corpse with four other bodies dumped outside a kindergarten school. Fighting back tears, Deborah Ngoh Tonye described what was left of her sister's gruesome corpse. Someone had removed Michele's genitals, tongue, eyes, hair, and breasts.
Michele's bizarre murder is believed to be part of a wave of killings linked to occult rituals that has triggered panic in Yaounde, the capital city of more than 2 million people in the West African nation of Cameroon.
In the past two weeks police have found 18 bodies dumped along the streets. Authorities said all of the bodies had been mutilated. Officials have not said if the female victims among the 18 bodies had been raped.
State security officials said Tuesday the bodies have been identified. The victims, who are between the ages of 15 and 26, are mostly Yaounde high school students, police said. They said a number of suspects have been arrested in the case, but so far no one has been charged.
State intelligence officials have launched an investigation to track down the killers, said Communications Minister Tchiroma Bakari.
