In a recent development that has captured national attention, conservative commentator Candace Owens released new video evidence on her podcast, potentially offering fresh insight into the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. The footage, presented on Wednesday, depicts a walkthrough of the path that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man charged with capital murder, allegedly took on the fateful day.
The walkthrough was guided by Shaner Broderick, a relative of Republican Utah legislator Phil Lyman. During the presentation, a witness recounted observing Robinson with a woman shortly before Kirk's shooting. This sighting has raised questions about a possible accomplice, as the witness pondered, “I wondered if the girl had given him stuff, like if there is an accomplice.”
The observer also cast doubt on the accuracy of the FBI’s official timeline, suggesting discrepancies with law enforcement records. Despite these claims, authorities have not publicly connected any additional individuals to Robinson during the time frame in question.
Robinson’s living arrangements have come under scrutiny as well. He shared a residence with Lance Twiggs, a 22-year-old biological male undergoing gender transition. Twiggs has not returned to their shared home after being questioned and released, leading to speculation that he may be cooperating with investigators under protective custody.
Text messages between Robinson and Twiggs have sparked further discussion. Their vague language has fueled theories of prearranged narratives or coordination, as reported by The Gateway Pundit. Owens' investigation also highlights unusual social media activity, with at least seven accounts associated with "trans"-related content allegedly mentioning the attack in advance.
Moreover, Owens pointed to Robby Hild, who appeared in Broderick’s walkthrough footage and maintains a minimal online presence, raising questions about his identity and whether he is operating under an alias.
As Robinson remains the sole individual formally charged, the shooting has spurred a surge of online speculation and conspiracy theories about potential accomplices, foreknowledge of the attack, and conflicting accounts of Robinson’s movements. Digital communications and unusual behavior by individuals connected to the case have been scrutinized on forums and social media, though much of this content remains unverified.
Phil Lyman has publicly dismissed Owens’ claims, but she continues to challenge the official narrative, drawing attention to potential investigative gaps and unanswered questions. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that authorities are pursuing multiple leads, including Robinson’s location at the time of the shooting, potential accomplices, communications via text and Discord, bullet trajectory, weapon transport, and observed hand gestures near Kirk.
Investigators are also examining visitors to Robinson’s residence in the days leading up to the incident. Patel emphasized the thoroughness of the investigation, stating, “The full weight of America’s law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has emerged, but our efforts extend beyond initial findings. We are examining every facet of this assassination.”
The release of Owens’ footage has intensified public interest in the case. Analysts note that while Robinson remains the sole individual charged, new leads—including possible accomplices and unusual online activity—could broaden the investigation and complicate early conclusions.
Beyond legal proceedings, the case underscores broader concerns about campus security and the role of online networks in shaping events. Owens’ reporting has kept attention focused on Kirk’s death, ensuring that critical questions remain in the public conversation as law enforcement continues its work.
