In a new development following the murder of political commentator Charlie Kirk, the partner of the accused gunman has reportedly disappeared from public view. Lance Twiggs, 22, is said to have vanished from his hometown of St. George, Utah, in the weeks after the shooting.
Federal investigators note that Twiggs, who was in a relationship with the alleged assailant, Tyler Robinson, has maintained an extremely low profile since the incident. While authorities initially stated Twiggs was cooperating with the investigation, the individual has not been seen at the townhouse they shared with Robinson and has declined all media contact ahead of Robinson’s trial.
Reports indicate Robinson confessed the killing to Twiggs. The whereabouts of Twiggs remain unknown, though a vehicle linked to them was recently seen at their parents’ home. Neighbors near the couple’s former residence have observed no activity there since Robinson’s arrest.
Twiggs’s potential return to their family home would mark a significant shift, as they were previously reported to have been estranged from their strict Mormon family. A family member cited behavioral issues, while friends defended Twiggs’s character, describing them as a hardworking and caring individual. Former educators also recalled Twiggs positively.
The disappearance adds another layer to an investigation that began when Kirk was fatally shot during a university event in Utah.
