Lance Twiggs—the transgender lover of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who allegedly assassinated Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk earlier this month—has fled the St. George, Utah home he shared with Robinson. According to neighbors, mail has piled up outside the house, and there has been no human activity on the property for some time.
While the disappearance of Twiggs—who was reportedly cooperating with federal investigators—has stoked conspiracies on social media, law enforcement insists nothing is out of the ordinary. Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby has publicly stated that Twiggs is in a “safe space very far away from St. George,” adding he needed “to lay low for a long time.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has not provided public comment on the matter, but there is speculation that Twiggs could be under FBI protection or holding as the investigation into Kirk’s assassination continues. Notably, a series of text messages between Robinson and Twiggs has come under intense scrutiny over the use of stilted language—leading some to posit the messages could have been an attempt by Robinson to create an alibi for Twiggs and others who could have known or helped coordinate the assassination of Kirk.
“I’m particularly not buying those text messages, it just seems too stilted, too much like a script—actually, like a bad script,” former Trump chief strategist and WarRoom host Stephen K. Bannon remarked last week.
While authorities have stated that Twiggs is cooperating with law enforcement, his family members, speaking with the media, suggest ulterior motives. “[Twiggs] is very angry with anyone who is supportive of conservative ideals and Christian values,” a family member said in a recent interview, adding, “As far as I know, he was not going by another name. I just know he was in the process of transitioning. I know he was trying to take different medications.”
Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed during a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that the agency is investigating over 20 people connected to a Discord chat group allegedly involved in the planning of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
