Alleged Charlie Kirk Shooter's Trans Partner Raises Eyebrows, As They Go Missing 6 Weeks After The Shooting

Tyler Robinson's rumored lover has chosen to fly under the radar in the wake of the accused killer's arrest for the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Lance Twiggs, who allegedly identifies as transgender, was previously reported to be cooperating with authorities as the investigation continues.

However, he has avoided speaking with the media, and his current whereabouts remain unknown after weeks of failing to return to the residence he once shared with the alleged Charlie Kirk shooter.

According to the New York Post, the whereabouts of Tyler Robinson's trans lover, Lance Twiggs, are currently unknown as the case surrounding Charlie Kirk's murder continues to unfold.

Twiggs came under the spotlight in the wake of the political assassination of the right-wing influencer after reports emerged that he had received a series of text messages from Robinson in which the accused killer allegedly confessed to the crime.

Initially, the 22-year-old reportedly cooperated with authorities, but it is now unclear whether that remains the case given his current AWOL status. He has also not made any public statements about the murder and has refused to speak with the media since the incident that shocked the nation.

Interestingly, Twiggs' car, an Infiniti FX35, has been spotted parked in his parents' driveway. However, it has not been confirmed whether he is hiding out at their home since leaving the $1,800-per-month St. George residence he once shared with Robinson.

The messages Robinson sent to Twiggs came shortly after the murder, beginning with the accused instructing his partner to check beneath his keyboard.

There, Twigggs had found a note that read, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it."

Shocked by the message, Twiggs initially asked Robinson if he was joking before pressing him on whether he had actually killed Kirk.

"You weren't the one who did it, right????" Twiggs asked, per The Blast, to which Robinson replied, "I am, I'm sorry."

Elsewhere in the conversation, Robinson also explained why he committed the horrific act.

"I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out," Robinson said, referencing Kirk's outspoken views.

Despite Twiggs' connection to Robinson, he has not been charged in relation to Kirk's murder.

As for Robinson, he is being detained at the Utah County jail and had his first court appearance virtually from the facility.

His latest hearing was held this week, during which a motion he filed to wear his own clothing for subsequent hearings and at his trial was granted, per The Blast.

With regard to the motion, the court seemed to side with his lawyers' view that prison garb could lead prospective jurors to see Robinson as guilty from the outset.

The judge denied Robinson's other motion not to wear shackles in court appearances.

The judge cited several reasons for the decision, including Robinson's "extraordinarily serious" charges and the potential for disruption in court due to the emotional nature of the case.

Still, a small concession was added, requiring the authorities to use only the "least restrictive restraints" on Robinson during his court appearances.

In subsequent hearings, photographers and TV crews won't be allowed to capture footage or images of Robinson as he arrives, leaves, or stands in the courtroom in order to prevent showing him in restraints.

Robinson's next court appearance, unlike the previous ones, will be in person and is scheduled for January 16.

His official arraignment, which is also expected to be held in person, is set for January 30.

Robinson faces charges of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, a violent offense committed in the presence of a child, two counts of obstruction of justice, and two counts of witness tampering.

Kathryn Nester, a veteran defense attorney with three decades of experience in federal and state courtrooms, currently represents him.

If Robinson is ultimately found guilty, he faces life in prison or possibly the death penalty, as prosecutors announced their intent to pursue capital punishment during the first hearing.
