In a shocking twist following the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, the transgender partner of the accused shooter has gone missing. According to a New York Post report, 22-year-old Lance Twiggs has disappeared from St. George, Utah, six weeks after the fatal shooting that stunned the United States.
Twiggs’ partner, Tyler Robinson, also 22, allegedly shot and killed Charlie Kirk before confessing the act in a text message to Twiggs. Initially, Twiggs cooperated with investigators but has now stopped speaking to authorities and the media, heightening the mystery surrounding her whereabouts.
Missing Without a Trace
Residents of the quiet desert community say Twiggs has not been seen since the incident. She has reportedly not returned to the $1,800-a-month apartment she once shared with Robinson. Her Infiniti FX35 has been spotted parked in her parents’ driveway, leading some to believe she may have sought refuge with them or gone into hiding.
Neighbors describe the area as peaceful and secluded. “It’s definitely shocking this happened here,” said local resident Jesse Riley. “It’s a quiet neighborhood. People keep to themselves.”
Courtroom Updates: Tyler Robinson’s Next Hearings
Meanwhile, Tyler Robinson appeared in court this week, requesting to wear civilian clothing in future hearings to avoid bias from jurors who might be influenced by his jail attire. The judge approved his request for plain clothes but refused to remove his shackles. Robinson’s next hearing is scheduled for January 16, with an arraignment on January 30.
The couple’s home has remained vacant since Robinson turned himself in, reinforcing the eerie silence that has taken over their once quiet street.
A Strained Family Relationship and a Glimpse of Reconnection
Twiggs’ relationship with her conservative Mormon parents was reportedly tense. Sources claim she was kicked out of their home in 2018. However, recent Venmo transactions labeled “prescriptions” and “gas money” suggest that some reconciliation occurred shortly before the murder.
Friends described Twiggs as a kind and hardworking person. “He had straight A’s and always cared for others. He wasn’t into partying — just focused on doing well,” said Braylon Nielsen, a family friend who once housed her during a difficult period.
The Disturbing Text Messages After the Shooting
Authorities revealed that Robinson messaged Twiggs multiple times after the killing, describing what he had done and explaining where he hid the gun. In one haunting text, he reportedly wrote, “You are all I worry about, love,” before surrendering to the police.
Despite the investigation, law enforcement has not confirmed Twiggs’ current location, leading to speculation that she may be in hiding or under protection as the high-profile murder case unfolds.
The disappearance of Lance Twiggs adds a dark layer to an already disturbing case involving Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson. While Robinson faces a series of court hearings, the absence of Twiggs leaves investigators and the public with more questions than answers.
Whether she’s hiding for safety, mental recovery, or other unknown reasons, her vanishing has intensified the mystery surrounding one of the most shocking political assassinations in recent U.S. history.
