Lance Twiggs and Tyler Robinson Compared, Israel
What This Image Shows
A Google Trends comparison of the search terms "lance twigs" and "tyler robinson", filtered to Israel across the custom range 1/1/25 to 9/5/25, All categories, Web Search. The window is drawn deliberately: it stops on September 5, five days before the shooting at Utah Valley University, so nothing on the chart can be explained by post-event news interest.
Tyler Robinson is the man charged in the case and Lance Twiggs is his former roommate. Neither name was publicly connected to Charlie Kirk before September 10, 2025, which is the entire basis for treating pre-event search interest in them as an anomaly worth documenting. The counterargument is that "lance twigs" is a misspelling and both are common personal names, so the series may be picking up unrelated people entirely.
