Utah Shooting Case Takes Another Turn
The high-profile Utah shooting case has deepened with the puzzling disappearance of a key figure connected to the investigation.
Disappearance of Lance Twiggs
Lance Twiggs, 22, has not been seen for more than a week. His car and belongings remain in the condominium he once shared with Tyler Robinson, 22, who now faces charges in the shooting. Neighbors have noticed lights left on and mail piling up, fueling unease.
No Charges, Rising Speculation
Although Twiggs has not been charged, questions swirl about what he may know. His sudden absence, coming just after Robinson’s arrest, has heightened public curiosity and concern.
Potential Role as Witness
An FBI source described Twiggs as a “cooperating human source” and a potentially essential witness. Officials say he could even enter witness protection, depending on how the case develops.
Text Messages Released
Prosecutors released messages indicating Twiggs may have had limited awareness of Robinson’s activities. Still, they stressed there is no evidence directly linking him to the crime.
Neighbors and Police Activity
Neighbors described Twiggs and Robinson as private and reclusive. Many were startled by the heavy law enforcement presence when FBI agents and police with dogs searched the condo, offering no public explanation.
Calm but Missing
Authorities said Twiggs was calm and cooperative during questioning. His unexplained disappearance, however, has unsettled both investigators and the community.
Ongoing Investigation
For now, the focus remains on building the case against Robinson. But Twiggs’s role—whether as a protected witness, a missing person, or something else—could prove pivotal. His absence casts a shadow over the legal battle still unfolding.
