Partner of Accused Charlie Kirk Killer Missing in Utah

Lance Twiggs, the transgender partner of Tyler Robinson, who is accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has gone missing from his hometown of St. George, Utah, weeks after Robinson's arrest. Twiggs had lived with Robinson after being expelled from his Mormon parents' home in 2018 and has reportedly cooperated with investigators but declined to speak publicly about the case. His disappearance has raised concerns as mail piled up at their shared $1,800-a-month apartment and his whereabouts remain unclear, though authorities say Twiggs is in a "safe space" far from St. George to avoid public scrutiny. Robinson allegedly confessed to the murder in text messages sent to Twiggs, and Robinson’s court appearance included a judge allowing him to wear civilian clothing to avoid jury bias. Local residents have expressed shock at the events in their quiet neighborhood, and a federal investigation found no links between Robinson and left-wing groups, suggesting he acted alone motivated by Kirk's ideology. The community and law enforcement continue to monitor the situation closely as the trial approaches, with Twiggs' potential testimony still uncertain.
