Andrew Kolvet's Claim and the Investigation Continues

Andrew Kolvet appeared on the Dave Rubin Show and made a statement that caught attention: Erika Kirk "never sought the limelight" and "was always very happy to sort of be doing her own thing and just be supportive of Charlie." This claim prompted a deeper examination of Erika's history, which reveals a consistent pattern of seeking fame and public attention throughout her life.

The investigation into Erika Kirk's background continues to uncover connections to financial scandals and questionable characters. The story involves what has been described as a collection of problematic figures from various religious backgrounds, including Catholics, evangelicals, Mormons, and others. Wherever Erika and her mother Lori Frantzve go, accusations of financial fraud tend to follow.

The Tesseract School and Bishop O'Brien Connection

Erika attended Tesseract School in Arizona for elementary education, a institution founded by the Urbancek brothers that was involved in a charter school scandal where money inexplicably vanished before the school went bankrupt. After Tesseract filed for bankruptcy in 2001, they put their campus up for sale. The Diocese of Phoenix purchased it and turned it into Notre Dame Prep, where Erika then enrolled for high school.

This decision was overseen by Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien, who had been significant in building up the Catholic community in Phoenix since 1982, founding 15 additional parishes including one that Erika remains close to today. However, O'Brien received the distinct dishonor of becoming the first Catholic bishop in America to be charged with a felony. In 2003, he was arrested for a hit and run that killed Jim Lee Reed. O'Brien did not stop or call police, instead going home, having dinner, sleeping, and going to his sister's house the following day. Police captured him because of obvious damage to his car, including a cracked windshield. He claimed he thought he hit a cat or dog, despite the victim being 240 pounds and over 6 feet tall. O'Brien received only four years of probation.

In 2002, prosecutors initiated a grand jury investigation into charges of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Maricopa County. O'Brien became a target for allegedly covering up allegations against priests he had staffed. In exchange for immunity, he admitted that several times during his 22-year tenure, he had placed children in harm's way by transferring accused priests to parishes without informing parishioners or superiors.

Erika's Mysterious Employment History (2015-2017)

In 2015, at age 27, it remains entirely unclear what Erika was doing for work or how she was affording her lifestyle. She was dating JT Massie during this time. On July 11th, Lori Frantzve, Tyler Bowyer, and Erika appeared behind Donald Trump at his presidential campaign rally. The story of how Erika met Tyler Bowyer remains fuzzy—she thinks she met him at the rally, but Tyler claims she called him beforehand offering to help.

In mid-August, Erika traveled to Montreal and Estrel, Quebec with Nicole Rothstein, though how she afforded this remains unclear. In November, her mother established GT Tech Industries LLC, another company involved in EMP fearmongering and government contracts. Erika soft-launched another charity called For the Cause in Phoenix focused on children at a hospital, but it never appears to have gotten off the ground.

By 2016, at age 28, Erika was living in New York City, one of the most expensive cities in the world, with no clear source of income. People at Next Model Management recall that she was the point person for model apartments, particularly a building on the Upper East Side where they housed models coming from Eastern Europe. In May, she shared that she was location scouting in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, though for what purpose remains unclear. She later claimed that 2016 was when she started Bible in 365 in her New York City apartment, but this is objectively untrue according to corporate filings.

Her mother Lori received an honorary degree from AATC University (Advancing Achievers Technology and Cyber Security University) this year. In August, Lori attended a Utah expo for GT Tech Industries, and Erika was photographed somewhere in the Mediterranean, again with no explanation for how she afforded such travel. Lori released an intent to sell GT Tech Industries to Saxen Capital Group, of which Lori was an 86% owner. Years later, Saxen Capital Group would file for an IPO and state they never actually completed that deal.

In 2017, at age 29, Erika established the Elm Group LLC on January 12th, though no description of what this company does has been found. On February 1st, she appeared in a documentary called Black Start by Patrick, which also featured CIA Director James Woolsey. The documentary focused on EMP attacks and the need for government preparation. Erika presented her mother's business model, discussing five major threats to the electrical grid. Questions arise about how a woman whose main accomplishments were in the pageant world got the CIA Director to appear in a documentary with her.

On July 24th, Lori opened Desert Spirit Tech LLC on the Tohono O'odham reservation in Arizona, raising serious questions about what technology business she was conducting on an Indian reservation near the Mexican border. Erika was dating Kitt Phillips this year and, per her LinkedIn, began attending Liberty University online for her master's degree. She was also pictured at celebrity dentist Dr. V's office, with claims she had been cast in Ocean's 8, though she does not appear in the film's credits.

2018: The Year Everything Changed

Erika rang in 2018 with boyfriend Kitt Phillips and Lori. On April 7th, Charlie Kirk sent a message predicting his own death, stating he knew it would be associated with Turning Point USA. He wrote: "I'm not sure I will live to see the end of this revolution. Since the beginning of TPUSA, I knew in my gut that I might get wiped out at any time. I cannot explain it, but I dream about it all the time." He said he wasn't afraid but wanted to share what he knew to be true.

Just weeks later, Kanye West tweeted "I love the way Candace Owens thinks," which felt like it ripped a hole in reality. Suddenly, it seemed like agents were being sent and fake people started surrounding Charlie and Candace, trying to artificially pull them apart. According to Erika's story, she and her mother went to Israel on pilgrimage in May and saw Charlie at the airport. Her mother suggested she approach him, but Erika decided not to. This story is interesting because the person with Charlie at the airport doesn't remember Erika mentioning seeing Charlie there alone.

On August 10th, Erika attended Turning Point USA's office opening in Arizona, invited by Tyler Bowyer who introduced her to Charlie. This raises questions about why she was there, given she was supposedly living and working in New York. In September, Tyler Bowyer arranged for Erika to meet Charlie one-on-one at a restaurant in New York for a job interview. In retrospect, this seems unusual because that's not how job interviews happened at Turning Point USA—employees were not taken to meet the CEO at a restaurant. Erika said everything perfect and amazing that Charlie wanted to hear, and their relationship began.

The Kanye West Blexit Controversy

On October 24th, Erika somehow became a licensed real estate agent in New York and was immediately employed by Corkran Real Estate Group. Records show she did a total of three possible rentals under somebody else, never as the main realtor. Six days later, on October 30th, everything fell apart with Kanye West.

Kanye, who had actually helped design the Blexit logo in Chicago, was getting tremendous pressure and being told he could not get involved in politics. He was wearing the MAGA hat and things were going crazy, with reports that Kim Kardashian was threatening divorce. Kanye cracked and tweeted a series of statements: "I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn't want their name on it, so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it." He followed with: "My eyes are now wide open and now realize that I have been used to spread messages that I don't believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative."

This was one of the hardest things for Candace Owens to go through. The statements were untrue and allowed articles to claim she had lied. She had a photo of Via Kedany at the Trump hotel in Chicago. When she called a friend, they said she didn't know what Kanye was going through or what kind of pressure he was facing. Charlie and Candace were devastated because it made them look like liars at a time when people wanted to see them fall.

A young woman in New York reached out claiming that Erika knew Kanye. When told that Erika didn't know Kanye and wasn't even in the picture in April when the Kanye collaboration was happening, the woman insisted she had proof. She stated that when everything was going down with Candace, Kanye, and Charlie, Erika was back-channeling and telling people she knew people around Kanye, that she had family around Kanye, and pushed for that tweet to go out.

The young woman in New York provided proof that at minimum, Erika was making these claims. Neither Candace, Charlie, nor Kanye knew that Erika knew someone on Kanye's team. The claim is that Erika was playing the role of Charlie's cute new girlfriend, watching them go through heartbreak, while simultaneously telling people she knew why the tweet went out and who in Kanye's circle was forcing his hand. Candace states she is 100% certain this is what Erika told people and that the young woman had receipts.

Formation of FeedMe Incorporated

On December 31st, 2018, FeedMe Incorporated was formed. This company would eventually become Superfeed Technologies, with both Erika's mother Lori and Tyler Bowyer on the board. The timing is notable—as Erika started dating Charlie, this company was formed connecting these people who all knew each other. Tyler Bowyer remains the one category where Erika can't remember details, despite him being in business with her mother and having her behind Trump in 2015.

Looking at all the evidence and seeing how duplicitous Erika was, and knowing that Charlie did not know these things because Candace was the closest person to Charlie while he was beginning to date Erika, the conclusion is that Charlie had no idea about these aspects of Erika Kirk's background. No one spent more time with him or spoke to him more during this period.

The Corey Richins Case and Circumstantial Evidence

Matt Walsh recently tweeted about Corey Richins, a grief author found guilty of fatally poisoning her husband for his $4 million estate, stating: "There is no good moral reason why she should not simply be taken outside the morning after her conviction and hanged. This woman has lost her right to exist." This created an interesting parallel given his defense of Erika Kirk.

After Corey Richins murdered her husband via fentanyl overdose, she played the role of grieving widow for an entire year. She was not initially arrested or suspected because she was crying and had called 911. She was so bold that she wrote a children's book about grieving and did a local book tour, where she repeated things similar to what Erika said, like "the nights are the hardest."

It took until May 2023, more than a year, to bring charges against her. The case was built by people who actually cared about Eric Richins and offered various details. Prosecutors played the 911 call and explicitly stated it didn't sound like a grieving widow. Her own friend Chelsea Barney said the first minute of the call was "the sound of a wife becoming a black widow," not a widow.

Prosecutors could not prove how she poisoned her husband—they didn't need to. The case relied largely on circumstantial evidence, focusing on potential motives and actions showing guilty conscience. They used digital records to corroborate witness testimony. Elements included financial distress, an affair, that her husband wanted a divorce, that she was grieving differently or not at all, a fraudulent life insurance policy, and that she stood to inherit millions. The star witness was housekeeper Carmen, who testified that Corey asked her to buy drugs on her behalf, allowing speculation about how she obtained the fentanyl.

Were it not for Eric Richins's actual friends, siblings, the housekeeper, and even Corey's friends who stood up and said something wasn't right, who compiled facts and showed text messages and private correspondence, who refused to accept the narrative of accidental fentanyl ingestion, Corey Richins would probably today be considered a brave single mother cleaning up the mess left by her husband's untimely death.

Conclusion and What Comes Next

Grieving widows don't lie about threats their husbands were facing the night before their death. Grieving widows don't make up quotations that surgeons never said about a "Superman neck" to manage PR, especially on the day they're burying their husbands. These things simply don't make sense, and there's a refusal to pretend otherwise.

The series has been made possible by many people around the world who have given tidbits and small accounts fighting for justice for Charlie. Special recognition goes to accounts like Lindsmack on Twitter (Real Truth Real Justice) and many others working on Justice for Charlie.

The series finale will address problems with Erika's alibi on September 8th and September 10th regarding what she claims she was doing. The final episode will air Monday, as there will be no episodes while attending the Catholics for Catholics event where prayers are requested for those speaking on enemy territory despite vicious attacks simply for Catholics wanting to meet and pray together.
