Warrant Page 5: The First Text Exchange
Search warrant, page 5, paragraphs 3 and 4. Full write-up →
This is the warrant's own transcription of the first message block — and note what it calls them: text messages, not Discord.
Page 5, paragraph 3
"On 9/12/2025, at approximately 0100 hours, FBI Special Agent Lange conducted an interview with the boyfriend of Tyler Robinson at the Washington County Sheriff's Office. The boyfriend was identified as Lance Twiggs. During the interview, Lance showed investigators text messages between Tyler Robinson and himself."
| Speaker | Message |
|---|---|
| Tyler | "I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet" |
| Tyler | "shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you" |
| Lance | "you weren't the one who did it right????" |
| Tyler | "I am, I'm sorry" |
| Lance | "I thought they caught the person?" |
| Tyler | "no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing" |
| Tyler | "I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering" |
The same warrant, two pages later, does reproduce something genuinely from Discord: the confession post made under the username zealous_monkey_55095. So Warrant 3217131 contains both an SMS thread off Lance Twiggs' phone and a Discord post off a named account, and its own prose does not keep the two apart — see Two Usernames for One Post.
Page 5, paragraph 4
"Lance showed FBI Special Agent Lange additional text messages between Tyler Robinson and himself."
| Speaker | Message |
|---|---|
| Tyler | "three hours ago there was an officer with a k9 walking nearby the area, hoping that pooch has a bad sniffer" |
| Tyler | "...because it sounds like the police couldn't get in for a long while because of the traffic" |
| Tyler | "needless to say imma be late coming home, my b" |
| Lance | "just stay safe" |
| Tyler | "I will" |
Three things this page settles and one it doesn't
Settles: the platform. The warrant says text messages, four times. The probable-cause affidavit called the same material Discord. Discord says it was not Discord. Two out of three agree, and the odd one out is the document that established probable cause.
Settles: the interview time. 0100 hours, September 12, at the Washington County Sheriff's Office, by FBI Special Agent Lange. That is roughly six and a half hours after the Bates-stamped 6:25 PM Miranda.
Settles: the opening line. The exchange begins "I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet." The word "still" presumes Twiggs already knew something was wrong — the observation Chris Friel builds his sequencing argument on. See The Twiggs Text Exchange and Friel's Sequencing Argument.
Doesn't settle: who held the sending phone. The warrant records what was on Twiggs' screen. It does not establish who typed on the other end.
The Location Field Is Typed In. The IP Address Is Not.
On Discord, on Steam, and on every platform in this section, the country shown on a profile is a text box the user filled in. Anyone can type Utah, or Egypt, or nothing at all, and change it again in seconds. Whether it is shown publicly is a setting. It is not evidence of where a person was sitting when they typed a message.
What is not typed in is the IP address. Every session, every login, every message send is written to the platform's own logs with the address it arrived from, alongside device fingerprints and session timing. Discord holds that record for the servers named in the Utah State Bureau of Investigation's warrant — Craftopia, Gamin and The Corruption — and for the account that posted the confession.
That is the question this section keeps returning to: is it known where the people in these servers actually were? The FBI reportedly examined twenty or more people in Robinson's Discord circle and charged none of them, and nothing in the public record states where any of them were. To be explicit, because it matters: being in another country is not wrongdoing, no one in those servers has been accused by any authority of anything, and nothing on this site suggests any of them did anything improper. The point is narrower — that a location nobody has verified should not be treated as if it were verified, in either direction. Self-reported locations circulated widely — see the Egypt claim on a Steam profile — and self-reported locations are worthless.
The answer exists. It is in Discord's subpoena return and in the login-IP history for September 10–12 — records that investigators can obtain through lawful process and the public cannot. What we are asking for is that the record for the account that posted the confession be established through that process and, so far as the law allows, made public. Until it is, every claim of foreign involvement in these chats — and every denial — rests on a field somebody typed.
We are not asking anyone to identify, locate, contact or expose any private individual, and readers should not attempt it. We name no one and we accuse no one. This is a request for a record, not an allegation against a person.
Other Parts of the Discord Messages
The second block turns from retrieving a rifle to calling police from a chosen spot — going out on his own terms rather than being dragged through the courts.

The @ProjectConstitu Ankha Thread
The post that pushed the Ankha profile into circulation, tying an Egypt location field to reporting about Egyptian aircraft in Provo on September 10.

Bates 003996-R2 — Miranda at 6:25 vs. the Discord Clock
Bates-stamped discovery puts Robinson Mirandized at about 6:25 PM. The confession is timestamped roughly ninety minutes later, when his phone should already have been in county custody.

The account was deleted. Deletion is what takes the login history, the device fingerprints and the IP records out of reach of anyone without a subpoena.
Read thisThe Steam Friend List May Matter More
Discord is where the confession appeared. Steam is where the friendships actually lived. A server can hold hundreds of people who have never spoken to each other; a friend list is chosen one person at a time, and the people on it are the ones you spend hundreds of hours in voice chat with, night after night, for years. If anyone in Robinson's online life knew him well enough to matter, they are likelier to be on that list than on a server roster.
The two circles overlap directly: visitors to the Steam profile posted their Discord handles on its public comment wall. And Steam stores exactly what Discord stores — the IP address each session came from — no matter what country a profile claims.
