In the chaotic aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University (UVU), various reports of a private jet taking off from a nearby airport and illegally disappearing from tracking software have surfaced, pointing to the incident as proof of a conspiracy in the conservative commentator's murder.
Initially, X (Twitter) users expressed concern about the continued function of Provo Airport, which is a 15-minute drive away from the UVU campus, as the shooter could potentially use it to escape.
One of them, @stellarman22 wrote "A private jet under the tail number N888KG left Provo Airport an hour after the shooting... Suspiciously 30 mins into the flight it drops off of ADS-B illegally and reappears headed back to Provo approx. an hour later... Why did this plane turn off its radar? Where is the shooter?"
Both The Daily Mail and Raw Story have reported on the jet, and social media users keep investigating.
"Flight tracking data shows the jet left the airport shortly after 2 pm and headed south towards the Arizona border before it disappeared from radars. It then reappeared on radars and returned to Provo roughly one hour after leaving the airport. The jet in question has a registered owner in the Utah city of Lehi, according to FAA data seen by the Daily Mail," writes the publication.
The jet is registered to "N888KG" LLC, which shares a Lehi, Utah address with the Derek and Shelaine Maxfield Family Foundation, which runs the Saprea non-profit organization to help survivors of sexual abuse. Many have pointed to the foundation's numerous connections to Israel as a cause for suspicion.
Another X user, @jonnysocialism, added that "It appears the private jet that took off after the assassination and stopped tracking was owned by the Derek & Shelaine Maxfield Foundation. They run a nonprofit called Saprea that focuses on victims of child sex abuse & have pictures of themselves visiting Israel on Facebook."

In 2022, Saprea also launched its first-ever "kosher retreat" that offers kosher food developed "closely with Rabbi Avremi Zippel at Chabad Lubavitch of Utah." The retreat is also "free of charge to any woman who was sexually abused at or before age 18." Chabad Lubavitch is an Orthodox Jewish movement that faced controversy after invitingIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's former Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and former Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, to their headquarters earlier this year.
Candace Owens, Kirk's former colleague at Turning Point USA, the conservative advocacy group he founded in 2012, also expressed suspicion about the flight. On her Instagram story, she wrote, "Planes are not ever supposed to turn off their radar." She also shared an email address for tips on "Who called the hit on Charlie?"
