Lance Twiggs, the 22-year-old transgender partner of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has reportedly gone missing. According to a report by the New York Post, Twiggs was last seen in St. George, Utah, after reportedly fleeing their shared residence following Robinson’s arrest.
Initially, Twiggs had cooperated with law enforcement but has since refrained from speaking to the media as Robinson prepares for trial. Authorities previously indicated that Twiggs has been referred to using masculine pronouns, and it has come to light that he moved in with Robinson after being estranged from his Mormon family in 2018. There are rumors of a reconciliation, given that Twiggs’ Venmo account reflects recent transactions from parents labeled as “prescriptions” and “gas money,” with the last payment made shortly before Kirk’s tragic death.
In a strange twist, Twiggs’ car was discovered parked at his parents’ home, raising questions about whether he has returned there. Last month, after his disappearance was reported, police presence remained heavy in the community as mail accumulated at their former shared residence.
Local resident Jesse Riley expressed his surprise at the events unfolding in what is typically a quiet neighborhood: “It definitely is a shock it happened here. People are pretty isolated.” He noted the continued appearance of police notes on the door, suggesting no one had been active within the home.
Sheriff Nate Brooksby provided reassurance earlier that Twiggs was in a “safe space very far away from St. George” and needed to remain out of public scrutiny due to possible backlash. Reports indicate that a federal investigation into Robinson revealed no connections to left-wing organizations, affirming that there is no evidence linking him to any larger ideological movement. One insider noted, “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”
As the investigation unfolds and the community grapples with these unsettling events, the uncertainty surrounding Twiggs’ whereabouts continues to raise questions and concern. The situation underscores the ongoing complexities in the lives affected by such tragic incidents, as the community awaits resolution and answers.
