Lance Twiggs, roommate and partner of Tyler Robinson, the accused assassin of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, has reportedly gone missing. According to neighbors, Twiggs, 22, has not been seen for several days. Twiggs has cooperated with authorities following Kirk’s September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University.
Now, neighbors in Twiggs and Robinson’s St. George, Utah, community have observed accumulating mail at their residence, fueling concern for Twiggs’ safety, according to the New York Post. Explaining Twiggs’ whereabouts, authorities previously confirmed that Twiggs was relocated to a secure, undisclosed location for his safety.
However, the recent reports of his disappearance have raised new questions about his well-being. A relative described Twiggs as the “black sheep” of his family, highlighting his troubled past involving substance abuse and mental health issues.
Despite these challenges, Twiggs had been cooperating with investigators and had not been charged with any crime.

The mystery surrounding Twiggs’ current status has added another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation into Kirk’s assassination. While some neighbors have expressed relief at his absence, others are concerned about his safety and the implications of his disappearance. Local authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as the investigation continues.
Multiple credible sources, including Utah Governor Spencer Cox and law enforcement officials, have publicly identified Twiggs as a transgender woman and that Twiggs and Robinson were romantically involved.
Robinson’s communication with Twiggs has been pivotal in the investigation into the Kirk assassination. In the hours following the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University, Robinson reportedly confessed to the crime to Twiggs via text messages.
In those messages, Robinson detailed the shooting, expressed remorse, and instructed Twiggs to delete their conversation. Reports say Robinson also left a handwritten note under Twiggs’ keyboard, further confirming his admission.
Twiggs voluntarily provided these messages to the FBI, aiding in the investigation. Legal experts have noted that while Twiggs’ failure to report the confession immediately may raise ethical questions, there is currently no evidence suggesting he assisted in the crime or obstructed justice.
Twiggs lack of visibility has fueled conspiracy theories online, with social media comments like “Did he ever even exist? Did the shooter? @I_Am_JohnCullen has some interesting things to say about the kind of capabilities by our intelligence agencies that should prompt the question. Especially seeing how bizarre they are all acting. They can make up entire covers for operatives…from web pages, families, etc… why not AI covers and patsies? Time for a proof of life on both of them.”
But while some online discussions have questioned the veracity of Twiggs’ existence or gender identity, these claims lack substantiated evidence. The consistent reporting by reputable news outlets and statements from public officials confirm who Twiggs is.
