UVU Library Backpack — Dispatch Audio and Hearing Testimony
11:40. UVU dispatch radio traffic from September 10, 2025, clipped to the portion concerning the Fulton Library, followed by preliminary-hearing testimony about the items recovered there. Video by @YTRABBITCHASER on X, August 19, 2026. The poster says the full unclipped versions of both segments were placed separately in that post's replies.
Of all the places on the UVU campus that officers treated as a potential crime scene on September 10, 2025, the Fulton Library is the one that has produced the least public explanation. Officers reportedly recovered a backpack, a jacket, and gloves left unattended at the library bus stops, away from the courtyard where Charlie Kirk was killed. Those items were sent to an FBI laboratory. Testing on them was then stopped.
This page holds the primary-source audio for that sequence. It matters because the claim had previously circulated on this site and elsewhere only as a third-party characterization of the hearing — see Locals Told Not To Investigate, which lists "obtain the transcript and read the testimony in full" as an open action item. The video below is a step toward that: it plays the testimony rather than describing it.
Nothing on this page is a finding that any officer, agent, laboratory examiner, or member of Charlie Kirk's security detail did anything improper. Every person named here is living. The testimony is quoted; the inferences drawn from it by the video's narrator are labeled as such, and the ordinary-explanation counterpoints are set out at the bottom.
The dispatch audio
The first segment is UVU dispatch radio traffic from the minutes around the shooting. The description broadcast over the air places an armed man on a rooftop immediately east of the library — the same end of campus where the abandoned items were later found. Transcribed from the video:
"What's going on at UVU? … the CS building is just east of the library. He's wearing jeans, black shirt, black mask, long rifle. … There was one shot. We are staying at the front of the school by the roundabout. … is on top of the building on the far north side, just east of the library, wearing jeans, black shirt, black vest."
Two details in that traffic recur across this investigation: the mask and the long rifle. Both belong to the early scanner description of a black-clad figure, which is developed at length on Black-Clad Fugitive Escape Path and in the dispatch radio scanner timeline. The audio is also the reason the library end of campus was canvassed at all.
Testimony: why the library was a crime scene
The second segment is cross-examination of Sergeant Jennifer Faumuina of UVU Public Safety, who wrote the September 22 report documenting the overview of the crime scenes. Asked why the Fulton Library was treated as a potential crime scene, she testified (transcribed from the video):
"When officers were canvassing the scene, they were also trying to see, right, the route of the shooter as well … they determined that the Fulton Library stood out because there were unattended items there at the bus stops that were away from the courtyard area. And so to them they thought it was suspicious."
Asked what was seized:
"Yes, you had a backpack, a jacket, as well as some gloves, and there may have been some other things. I just don't recall them right now."
She confirmed the items went to the FBI laboratory, and confirmed they were sent along with information that the suspect may have shed some of these items as he fled. The exchange then turned to why testing stopped:
Q: "At some point, did you decide to pull the plug on that?"
A: "At the time when it was already sent, we didn't have more information as far as whether or not the evidence that was collected there were probative."
Q: "But eventually you communicated to the lab that those items were not in fact connected with the case, and there was no need to do further testing."
A: "I don't remember communicating that."
Q: "If that's in the notes of the FBI or the ATF, would that be inconsistent with what you know?"
A: "No."
Asked to confirm the bottom line — that the items were eventually determined not to be related to the case — she answered that this would be fair. So the determination is not in dispute in her testimony. What she did not recall is communicating it.
Testimony: the FBI laboratory side
The video then plays testimony from Amanda Baker, an FBI laboratory examiner, described in the video as testifying on day 2 about the same items. She confirmed receiving the backpack, logged as exhibit 9, along with a number of items from inside it, and described her own starting position:
"So initially, we didn't have any information. So we processed that. Those are items that are good for DNA. Not having any information from the investigators, we process them for DNA. As the investigation continued, it was determined that that backpack was potentially left behind by a bystander, and there was no comparisons needed at that time."
Counsel then read from the laboratory's own notes:
Q: "Well, left behind by a bystander — or, according to your notes at page 20, the backpack belongs to Kirk's detail?"
A: "…that was not my communication log. That was someone else within the laboratory. That was the information that they received."
That is the specific new element this video contributes. Per the testimony as transcribed, the recorded basis for standing down on the backpack was not simply "a bystander" but a note attributing the bag to Charlie Kirk's own security detail — and the examiner on the stand identified that note as written by someone else in the laboratory, not by her.
What the video's narrator argues
The narrator's commentary is opinion and inference, not testimony, and is reproduced here as such. The argument runs:
- If the backpack is the one recovered at the bus stop, it was found on the route investigators believed the fleeing suspect took — which is why it was collected in the first place.
- A member of the security detail would have no obvious reason to be at a library bus stop far from the Losee Center and the courtyard, and no obvious reason to leave a backpack, jacket, and gloves there on a hot September day.
- Knowing the victim is not, in the narrator's phrasing, a reason to stop forensic testing: "Since when is 'I know the victim' accepted as an alibi?" The narrator notes that a large share of homicide victims are killed by someone known to them.
- Two witnesses gave, in the narrator's characterization, the same shape of answer — the determination stands, but neither recalls originating it. The narrator asks who authored the note.
The narrator's central question is a documentary one and can be answered from records rather than argument: who wrote the page-20 note, and on whose information?
Counterpoints
These ordinary explanations are not rebutted by anything in the video, and a reader should hold them alongside the above:
- Unattended bags, jackets and gloves accumulate at a campus library bus stop in ordinary life. Triaging them out of a capital case is routine, not suppression.
- Laboratory capacity is finite. Once investigators concluded the items were unconnected, stopping comparison work is a normal resourcing decision.
- A note written by one laboratory staffer recording what they were told is a secondhand paraphrase, not a finding. "Belongs to Kirk's detail" may be an imprecise shorthand for something narrower.
- Being unable to recall, months later, which supervisor communicated a particular triage decision is ordinary memory, not evasion.
- No testimony quoted here establishes whose the items actually were, and none of it establishes that any test was improperly cancelled.
Open questions
- Who authored the page-20 laboratory note, and what was their source?
- What is the full evidence log for the backpack, jacket and gloves — date received, tests requested, tests completed, and the written basis for cancelling any test?
- Were the items ever returned, and to whom?
- Does the recovered jacket or glove set match the clothing described in the dispatch audio quoted above?
- Has the backpack been photographed and disclosed in discovery? See Discovery and Brady Evidence Timeline.
Laws (Charlie Kirk)
The evidence log for the Fulton Library items, the laboratory communication logs naming who cancelled testing, and the full unedited UVU dispatch audio are among the disclosures the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may force into public view.
