The Senior Executive Who Collected the SD Cards (Claims)
:::caution Attributed claims only Attending your own organization's event and securing camera media after a violent crime are both lawful and ordinary. Terryl Farnsworth is a living private citizen who has been accused of no crime. Everything below is a reported claim, presented with its ordinary explanation. :::
Claim snapshot
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| The claim | A top TPUSA executive who reportedly never attends campus stops was at UVU on Sept 10 and personally took the camera SD cards |
| Raised by | Candace Owens; restated without attribution in the file's "Strange events" list |
| First surfaced | Undated in source |
| Rests on | On-record assertion by a named commentator, with no records produced |
| Evidence rating | SPECULATIVE |
What is alleged
Candace Owens argues that Terryl Farnsworth — described in the investigation file as a top TPUSA executive who runs AmFest, the Student Action Summit, and the organization's national tours — "does NOT fly out for random campus stops. Ever." Yet on September 10, 2025, per her account, Farnsworth was at Utah Valley University, reportedly "trying something new."
The file's minute-by-minute notes place him on camera at 00:27 after the shot, in position on a rock pile filming. Owens says he then personally took the SD cards from the event cameras, and that he was not seen at the next TPUSA campus event afterward. The file's "Strange events" list compresses the same claim into item 40: "The executive who took the video SD card out after the shooting, had never been to a University event before or after." Owens' conclusion is that a senior executive who never does college stops being present on the one day Kirk was killed, and being the person who secured the camera media, is not a coincidence she accepts.
Farnsworth's name also appears in the file alongside Philip Goldsberry in demands that TPUSA release Charlie Kirk's on-microphone audio from the event.
Two problems sit on the surface of this item. First, no attendance record is cited anywhere for the claim that he had never been to a university event before or after — it rests entirely on Owens' assertion. Second, the file cannot spell his name consistently, rendering it "Terryl" in one place and "Terrell" in another, which suggests no one working this claim has checked a primary record.
The ordinary explanation
The UVU stop was reportedly the first date of a new national campus tour — which is precisely the launch a senior events executive would attend, and which inverts the anomaly entirely. If Farnsworth runs national tours, his presence at a tour's opening night is the expected outcome, not the strange one.
Securing camera media immediately after a violent crime is correct evidence practice, not tampering. The alternative — leaving footage sitting in unattended cameras in a panicking crowd on an open campus — is how evidence actually gets lost. And "he stopped doing campus events afterward" is not a mystery when the tour was suspended and its principal had been murdered. An absolute claim ("never before or after") with no attendance record behind it is not evidence; it is an assertion that happens to be unfalsifiable as stated.
What would settle it
- Obtain TPUSA's event staffing records for the 2024–2025 campus tours and check whether Farnsworth was assigned to prior stops.
- Confirm whether the UVU event was in fact the first date of a new national tour, from the tour announcement or internal schedule.
- Establish the chain of custody for the SD cards: who took them, when, who received them, and whether they were turned over to law enforcement.
- Ask TPUSA directly whether the on-microphone audio exists and whether the FBI requested it be withheld.
Interesting In This Area
- Farnsworth was filming from a rock pile 27 seconds after the shot.
- The executive who removed the camera SD card is recorded twice, unreconciled.
- Selective 4K release is what TPUSA later published from those cameras.
- Ryne Simmons was reportedly told to delete his 4K video.
Interesting In Other Areas
- Cameras and SD cards removed from the scene collects every version of this.
- UVU campus surveillance is the footage nobody outside the case has seen.
- TPUSA staff on September 10 places each named person on campus.
- The AV team and mic setup covers the same crew and equipment.
