Outfit/Description Mismatch: Eyewitnesses at the shooting described the shooter wearing tactical gear and a face mask, with a gun making a sharp crack sound like a lightweight .223 rifle; the official narrative says it was Tyler in casual jeans, a veteran shirt, and an American flag, using a heavy Mauser bolt-action rifle—big difference in appearance and weapon type for someone new to this.
Timeline Gaps: There's a 4-hour unexplained period from 8:29 AM to 11:51 AM where Tyler's movements and outfit change aren't captured on footage; his texts claim he planned to retrieve the rifle after hiding it, but a lockdown stopped him, yet the gun was found soon after in a wooded area—raises questions about what happened in that missing time.
Custody Contradictions: Local news reported Tyler in custody on Sept 11 evening in Warner Valley; the official story insists on a 33-hour manhunt ending with his arrest early Sept 12—conflicting timelines on when he was actually caught.
Decoys/Multiple Suspects: Candace claims several lookalikes (e.g., George Zinn as "crazy old dude" arrested first, a staircase guy, a maroon shirt person possibly roommate Lance, a rooftop guy) were distractions, none the real shooter; initial reports mentioned a "crazy old dude" then someone in similar clothing, and a second suspect in dark clothing that was later dropped—suggests confusion or cover for multiple involved.
Footage/Evidence Issues: No complete video released; security removed an SD card from a rear camera (possible tampering); Candace saw footage via FaceTime showing no gore or exit wound blood, questioning the bullet path; devices weren't fully reviewed before case closure; only two roof videos exist, showing no recoil or gun assembly—makes evidence seem incomplete or altered.
Crime Scene Alterations: The pavers at the shooting site were demolished and replaced quickly, with questions about university funding it; Kirk's chair was moved right after—could be tampering with the scene before full investigation.
Discord Denial: Gov. Cox cited Discord messages about rifle drop points; Discord officially denied any evidence of planning or violence on their platform—direct conflict between official claims and company statement.
Maroon Shirts Anomaly: Many young men at the event wore maroon shirts alone (UVU school colors are green/white, not maroon); could be a signal for airborne/undercover units or coordinated to capture footage from specific angles—no explanation why so many matched a non-school color.
Egyptian Links Unexplained: Multiple Egyptian-linked planes and cars (purple SUBTU, yellow SUBTT, BTT carrying 12-14 Egyptians, Walid Mahmoud involved) arrived around the time; a foreign dignitary visited 920 North King morning of shooting; no transponder data for flights, and Minot layover at a military base ignored—hints at foreign involvement without follow-up.
Eyewitness Suppression: An eyewitness said "wrong person" after Zinn's arrest and described tactical gear, but this was ignored in official reports—suggests key testimony was downplayed.
Motive/Planning: Tyler reportedly started planning just ~1 week before; texts cite "hatred" as motive; Candace alleges he was assisted as a decoy, with help on costume changes and clothing disposal at Dairy Queen/cemetery—doesn't align with lone wolf story.
Military/Foreign Ignored: Tips on French Foreign Legion involvement dismissed; Valhalla training at Minot (military base) linked to plane layover; several event people had military ties (e.g., surgeon Trotter pilot/AF residency, ME Amaro major)—no probe into these connections.
TPUSA Fundraising/Behavior: Raised $250M+ quickly post-death; no employee raises/bonuses despite workload; unexplained firings (e.g., fabricated Uber story about disliking Erica); Erica recommended grief time off but worked daily with fundraiser—seems inconsistent with mourning a founder.
Chaos with Blue-Shirt Person: A blue-shirt person from sponsor Wirefi approached during chaos (not for rescue); security shooed them away while they had phone out (text/photo?); no clarification on their role or actions.
Lance Quick Release: Apartment raided overnight, electronics seized (Lance "deep on the Internet"); but Lance released quickly to parents—no details on why so fast or what was found.
Engraved Bullets: Bullets had engravings like "bulge on Fox News" as a meme/joke per texts; media reporting may have inconsistencies in how this was presented or linked to motive.
Donor Threats Ignored: Pre-shooting threats from donors (e.g., Christian Zionist text warning Kirk of God's curse for platforming critics)—TPUSA hasn't publicized or investigated these despite ties to motive.
Resident Reactions vs. Closure: Utah locals felt unsafe even after arrest, fearing escalation/vigilantes; contrasts with official "closure" claims.
Jacob Kasparian Behavior: Posted about bulletproof skateboard morning of; didn't duck after shot while recording (others did); no family mentions despite front-row—unusual actions not addressed.
Emmanuel Bearer Selection: Attended but no photos; quickly picked as eyewitness by media (PBS)—unclear how/why chosen without verification.
Historical Foreshadowing: Kirk's old interview on Julius Caesar (betrayal theme) not connected to official hatred motive.
Erica Zoom Inconsistency: In Zoom 5 days post-death, recommended employees take grief time; but she worked non-stop—odd for a widow leading the company.
Firings Details: General counsel showed up at employee's home (alone with kids) for computer, warned of deletion detection; audio of another firing shows no explanation despite strong performance—suggests paranoia without cause.
Wirefi Role: Young sponsor for event/tour; approached chaos but not for aid—unexplained presence/phone use.
