Candace Owens has once again thrust herself into the eye of a storm swirling with accusations, skepticism, and explosive claims. The conservative commentator and Donald Trump ally has publicly challenged the FBI’s narrative surrounding Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk, asserting that key evidence, including text messages, has been manipulated to fit a predetermined script.
Candace Owens said that Tyler Robinson never stepped foot on UVU campus and that his parents never turned him in. She also says they (FBI?) lied about his parents noticing him.

Owens insists Tyler Robinson never even set foot on Utah Valley University (UVU) campus. She alleges the Department of Justice doctored Robinson’s texts, releasing selectively edited messages. This controversy comes amid the ongoing investigation into the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at a UVU event on September 10, 2025.
Tyler Robinson was arrested less than 48 hours later and faces aggravated murder charges. Prosecutors have laid out a timeline based on security footage, DNA evidence, and digital communications, painting a picture of Robinson’s calculated actions. However, gaps remain: how he escaped, whether he acted alone, and what true motives drove him are still under heavy scrutiny.
Candace Owens Addresses Speculation Surrounding Her Absence from Charlie Kirk’s Memorial
Rumors swirled like wildfire following the memorial for Charlie Kirk, with rumors that Candace Owens and Kirk had a falling out. Owens shattered those assumptions during a September 18 episode of The Candace Owens Show. She revealed she was deliberately excluded from the memorial, despite her long-standing friendship with Kirk. Her absence wasn’t due to a personal feud but, she claims, because of outside “pressure
“The reason that they are doing this is because they want us to stop investigating the death of Charlie Kirk. I am convinced that this is a full-blown fed operation.” She accused powerful entities of manipulating the narrative to silence dissenting voices.
They are squeezing, and they are trying to pretend that Charlie and I didn’t speak for years. It could not be further from the truth, OK? Charlie and I never for a single second stopped being friends.
When questioned about attending vigils or her relationship with Kirk’s widow, Owens was direct:
No, actually, I didn’t attend a vigil and nope, you’re right, you got me. I was not invited to speak alongside President Trump and JD Vance on the stage with Tucker Carlson at a memorial event… what does this have to do with anything?
The answer, she implies, is the construction of a false narrative to isolate her.
Meanwhile, former Turning Point USA board member Eric Bolling said Owens “theories got just a little bit too down the rabbit holes.” According to Bolling (via NY Times), although Kirk and Owens maintained cordial relations for years, communication had waned.
The Tyler Robinson Investigation: What We Know about Charlie Kirk’s Death Story
The brutal killing of Charlie Kirk on September 10 triggered a high-stakes law enforcement pursuit, culminating in Tyler Robinson’s arrest in St. George, Utah. Authorities piece together his movements using campus surveillance and forensic data, but crucial questions linger.
Security footage reportedly places Robinson on the UVU campus around 8:30 a.m. and later walking with a limp near the school just before the shooting. After allegedly firing a single bolt-action rifle round from a rooftop, killing Kirk, Robinson’s escape route remains partially shrouded. Experts like Peter Valentin note the chaos of the scene likely provided Robinson cover, as frightened bystanders fled (per Fox News).
Investigators also found the murder weapon, wrapped in a towel, in nearby woods. Robinson allegedly messaged his roommate about returning for the rifle, raising suspicions about his intent to retrieve or conceal it. The rifle, inherited from his grandfather, complicates the usual gun-trafficking angles.
Texts attributed to Robinson include admissions: he claimed to have “had enough of [Kirk’s] hatred,” and that “some hate can’t be negotiated out.” Law enforcement is probing whether these messages indicate lone wolf action or coordination with others, analyzing IP addresses and the timing of responses on platforms like Discord.
Forensic evidence, especially DNA on the towel and weapon, will be pivotal in unraveling the full story. Valentin expects multiple DNA profiles could emerge, hinting at possible accomplices, though nothing is confirmed yet. He said:
In a lot of situations, it’s the forensic evidence that really confirms what you’re figuring out investigatively. And this seems to be one of those kinds of cases.
As prosecutors build their case against Robinson, the broader picture remains fragmented, leaving the public to wonder about the full truth behind Kirk’s assassination. With Candace Owens sounding alarms about doctored evidence and shadowy pressures, and experts pointing to unanswered forensic puzzles, the story refuses to settle quietly.
