The whereabouts of Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson's lover, Lance Twiggs, has been revealed by a relative.
The individual, who chose to remain unnamed, disclosed that Twiggs is currently staying with his parents after previously disappearing from his St.George shared residence.
The relative also shared insights into Twiggs' personality and behavior, as well as his alleged cooperation with authorities following Tyler Robinson's arrest for the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's Alleged Shooter's Partner Is With His Family, Relative Claims
Weeks after Tyler Robinson was arrested for allegedly murdering Charlie Kirk, his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, was reported AWOL by several media outlets.
The 22-year-old had been living with the accused at a $1,800-per-month St. George residence prior to Kirk's assassination, but disappeared from the property in the weeks that followed.
Now, a relative of Twiggs has revealed his whereabouts, while also explaining why the young adult chose to leave his previous residence.
"My understanding was for the first few weeks, cause there was so many threats against his family and him, that…they did have a little bit of FBI detail and they kind of moved around a little bit," said the relative during a chat with NewsNation's Brian Entin Thursday, per the New York Post.
"But they're not anymore," the relative added before confirming that Twiggs is currently "with his family."
Tyler Robinson And His Lover Were Described As 'Antisocial'
The relative also spoke at length about the behavior and personalities of both Twiggs and Robinson.
The unnamed individual described the pair as "antisocial," adding that they behaved in ways that suggested they were out of sync with the real world.
"Being as antisocial as they were, from my understanding – you know, playing these games and being part of this, this Discord group … they didn't seem like they were in a real world," the relative remarked.

However, according to the family source, both Twiggs and Robinson were once considered normal and were filled with potential for great achievements.
"Both of them are super smart…[Lance] was a concert pianist – he has talent for piano. [His] music was off the charts – not normal, it was very impressive," the relative also claimed.
"And that's kind of what I heard about Tyler is that he was just so smart," they added. "It's just a shame that these kids had so much potential and so, such a bright future."
Tyler Robinson's Lover Didn't Voluntarily Cooperate With The Authorities
Given Twiggs' relationship with Robinson, he was among the key individuals questioned by authorities in the wake of Kirk's assassination.
He initially cooperated with investigators, but that cooperation has now been described as something he did out of compulsion rather than willingness.
"When I first found out about how he was taken in and talked to by the police…I know that they said that he was very cooperative, but they had to go get him and bring him in – he didn't voluntarily go in and say, 'Hey, I heard about this, and I have some knowledge,'" the relative shared with the outlet.
"You know, he had to go in, and then he handed things over when they asked for them, but he didn't give up any information until he had to," they added.
For now, it remains unclear if Twiggs is still in communication with the authorities over the case. It has also not been confirmed whether he has contacted Robinson's since the arrest.
Tyler Robinson's Next Hearing Is Slated For January 16
In the meantime, Robinson is being held without bail in a special housing unit at the Utah County Jail.
In December, he made his first in-person court appearance, which drew attention after the judge issued a stern warning to reporters not to violate his rule prohibiting photographs of the accused in shackles.
Robinson's next court appearance will also be in person and is scheduled for January 16. His official arraignment is set for January 30, at which time he will likely be allowed to enter a plea.
The alleged Charlie Kirk killer is charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, committing a violent offense in the presence of a child, two counts of obstruction of justice, and two counts of witness tampering.
If found guilty at trial, Robinson faces life in prison or possibly the death penalty, as prosecutors intend to seek capital punishment.
