CHARLIE KIRK Gas Station Footage Changes Everything in the Kirk Case

[00:00] And not a lot of people in this country

[00:02] knew of him until the assassination of

[00:06] Charlie Kurt. And then it was Spencer

[00:08] Cox who was before the cameras asking

[00:11] Americans if we could just all stop

[00:14] hating each other.

[00:16] A police report from Cedar City, Utah,

[00:19] described surveillance video of the man

[00:21] accused of killing Charlie Kirk pulling

[00:23] a gray Dodge Challenger into the gas

[00:26] station at around 7:15 a.m. on September

[00:30] 11. Well, 7:17 to be exact. That is

[00:34] according to a Scripps News exclusive.

[00:36] Scripts filed an open records request.

[00:39] In the video, according to scripts,

[00:40] Tyler Hamilton is seen wearing a maroon

[00:43] colored shirt and a dark colored hat,

[00:45] filling up his vehicle with gas, and

[00:47] just three minutes later driving away. A

[00:50] maroon colored shirt and a dark colored

[00:52] hat. Sound familiar?

[00:55] I got nightmares in my head. I feel

[01:03] my mind feels like a ter

[01:09] I got nightmares in my head.

[01:14] >> Hello and welcome to True Crime Rocket

[01:17] Science. This footage provides further

[01:19] corroboration that the Dairy Queen image

[01:21] is legit, which means we're getting an

[01:24] even more complete picture now of his

[01:26] movements in the post-meditation phase.

[01:28] Tyler Robinson sure does seem to like

[01:30] that maroon colored shirt, doesn't he?

[01:33] But what inferences can we draw from

[01:35] this new CCTV footage? Before we deal

[01:38] with five inferences drawn from the gas

[01:40] station CCTV, I want to deal with a

[01:43] handful of comments. One that has come

[01:46] up a few times now is that the crime

[01:48] scene, the tent where Charlie Kirk was

[01:50] shot. Well, it wasn't cordoned off.

[01:54] Well, it was. Have a look at these

[01:58] photos from the air, from the ground,

[02:01] zoomed in, not only of the cordon, but

[02:04] of officers actually putting up the

[02:06] cordon. Jeepers guys, where are you

[02:09] getting your information from? I mean,

[02:11] if you can't get a simple, small,

[02:13] obvious detail like this right, maybe

[02:15] you should leave proper true crime

[02:17] analysis to the big boys. Of course, you

[02:19] can't know any of this if you don't

[02:21] watch the news or read any news because

[02:24] you don't trust the news. Then there's

[02:27] also this comment. Do you not even read

[02:29] your own comment section? The ratio of

[02:32] people who don't believe the official

[02:33] narrative versus you is astronomical.

[02:36] How long are you going to keep towing

[02:38] the line for the feds? Unless you are

[02:40] one. Hey, true crime, read the room.

[02:44] Well, I am reading the room and yes, I

[02:46] do read many of the comments and I

[02:48] understand there are a huge number of

[02:50] people who don't believe the official

[02:51] story. I also know there are some huge

[02:54] channels pushing the conspiracy

[02:56] narrative and also some small ones that

[02:58] are trying to jump on the gravy train.

[03:01] He also refers to the ratio of people

[03:02] who agree versus those who don't agree.

[03:05] And here's my response to that.

[03:11] >> I don't care

[03:13] because I'm not here to win a popularity

[03:16] contest. That's not my number one

[03:17] priority or my only priority. I'm here

[03:20] to investigate these cases in an

[03:22] authentic way. You guys do know that I

[03:24] studied law. So, I actually do care

[03:26] about the law. I'm also not unaware that

[03:29] those who are spreading these false

[03:31] claims are doing exactly what America's

[03:33] adversaries want you to do because they

[03:36] want you to sow chaos and distrust

[03:38] online. And that is exactly what you are

[03:40] doing. That is exactly what you're

[03:42] consuming and it's exactly what I'm

[03:44] fighting against. Have a look at this

[03:46] article from Politico. After Charlie

[03:48] Kirk's killing, false claims flourish

[03:50] online with help from US adversaries.

[03:53] Foreign adversaries are weaponizing

[03:55] major news events to seow chaos and

[03:58] distrust online. Now consider the

[04:00] content you're consuming and consider

[04:02] the possibility that this is just sewing

[04:05] chaos and distrust. And the more

[04:08] confusion and mistrust they can inject

[04:10] right after breaking news event, the

[04:12] harder it becomes for people to know

[04:14] what's true and who to trust. If people

[04:17] doubt law enforcement, journalists or

[04:20] democratic institutions, it weakens

[04:22] those institutions ability to act and

[04:24] communicate in a crisis. So all of this

[04:27] matters. All of this is very high

[04:29] stakes. And that's why I'm trying to

[04:31] counter this false narrative. If that's

[04:34] something you agree with, if that's

[04:36] something you believe in, countering

[04:37] this false narrative and you want to get

[04:39] on board with it, now is your chance to

[04:42] subscribe to the most authentic voice in

[04:44] true crime. If you're finding this

[04:46] analysis worthwhile, please do hit the

[04:48] thanks button. A big thank you to

[04:50] Consistent Try and Debbie McNeel for

[04:53] hitting the thanks button. Thanks very

[04:56] much, guys. And let's get started. All

[04:59] right, and that brings us to five

[05:01] inferences drawn from the gas station

[05:04] CCTV. It was

[05:05] >> we went back to Utah Valley University

[05:08] on the first day of class. It was 7 days

[05:12] since Charlie Kirk had been murdered

[05:14] there.

[05:16] >> Now, one of the things I want you to

[05:17] realize is it took about a week for

[05:20] Tyler Robinson to allegedly plan his

[05:23] whole thing. Well, it's going to take us

[05:26] quite a length of time to understand all

[05:29] the insights and all the ins and outs

[05:31] that he had to come up with over a

[05:34] week's worth of planning. You're not

[05:35] going to understand a case in one day or

[05:38] one hour or one video. And so it is

[05:41] going to take a bit of time to fit the

[05:43] and find the puzzle pieces. And so this

[05:46] CCTV which came out a couple of days ago

[05:49] is another puzzle piece that gets a lot

[05:52] of others to fit neatly into place.

[05:55] Number one being acting alone. The fact

[05:58] that we see Tyler Robinson and only

[06:00] Tyler Robinson in this footage

[06:02] corroborates the official narrative

[06:04] which is that he acted alone. At the

[06:06] very end of the affidavit, it says, "I

[06:08] have reason to believe the defendant,

[06:10] Tyler Robinson, committed the offenses

[06:13] as charged herein, the defendant and

[06:15] nobody else." Right? We also see Tyler

[06:18] Robinson alone at the Dairy Queen and at

[06:20] the moment of the shooting, he's the

[06:22] only one running along the roof at the

[06:24] time of the shooting. Number two, we see

[06:27] him with a vehicle on the day of his

[06:30] arrest. Should it really be we see Tyler

[06:33] Robinson with his vehicle on the day of

[06:35] his arrest? Now, one potential defense

[06:38] for Tyler Robinson is that someone

[06:40] borrowed his car or someone could have

[06:42] taken his car, but this footage confirms

[06:44] he was driving it. And you can actually

[06:47] see when he drives off, you get a you

[06:49] get a quite a clear view through the the

[06:52] window almost at a 90° angle, and you

[06:55] can see there's only one person in that

[06:57] vehicle. Number three, trace through

[07:00] financial transactions. This is the

[07:02] number six clue we all missed. We know

[07:05] it was him because it was traced via

[07:06] financial transactions. It's quite

[07:09] simple to do in practice, but not

[07:10] necessarily easy to investigate. You can

[07:13] flag the transactions. You can identify

[07:15] the location of the transactions. You

[07:17] can determine if there's CCTV in the

[07:20] area of the transaction. If there is,

[07:22] you can go and collect the CCTV,

[07:24] assuming it's not been recorded over. If

[07:27] it hasn't been recorded over, you can

[07:28] then match the timestamp on the

[07:30] transaction to the CCTV. And voila.

[07:34] That's also how they trace the Dairy

[07:36] Queen footage as well.

[07:38] >> You didn't see that coming.

[07:40] >> By the way, this is the number six clue

[07:41] we've all missed. Can you name the clues

[07:44] one to five? Or haven't you really been

[07:47] paying attention? Right. Inference

[07:49] number four, wearing the same clothes.

[07:51] It's mentioned twice in the affidavit

[07:53] that Robinson discarded the clothing he

[07:55] wore when he fired the rifle. This is

[07:57] the first reference and you can see at

[08:00] the bottom. We want to circle that in

[08:01] red. Discarded the clothing he wore when

[08:04] he fired the rifle. Here's the second

[08:07] reference. When Robinson turned himself

[08:09] in, he was told it would be best if he

[08:11] brought all the evidence with him to the

[08:13] sheriff's office to avoid police having

[08:15] to search his parents' home. Well, the

[08:17] family friend also asked Robinson if he

[08:19] had any clothes that were related to

[08:21] what he did. Robinson replied that he

[08:24] had disposed of the clothes in different

[08:26] areas. That's also an interesting

[08:28] confession to say, well, I got rid of a

[08:30] lot of clothing. Well, if you're

[08:32] innocent, why would you throw clothes

[08:33] away? When else did you throw clothes

[08:35] away in different areas? And by the way,

[08:38] that's these clothes and possibly this

[08:41] backpack as well. Right. Number five,

[08:43] significance. Where did he dispose of

[08:45] his clothing? And what is the

[08:48] significance of the garage stop overall?

[08:50] Well, it might be nothing, but it might

[08:52] also be that he went there to dispose of

[08:54] his clothing. I don't mean at the garage

[08:57] stop, but in Cedar City, you know,

[08:59] rather than do that where the heat might

[09:02] be in Aram. Dumping his clothes in his

[09:04] hometown he may have felt was too close

[09:06] to home. If not, if he wasn't dumping

[09:10] his clothes, what was he doing there?

[09:12] What was he doing in Cedar City? so

[09:14] early in the morning. Was he still on

[09:16] his way home from Orum? Or was he on the

[09:19] way to work, perhaps heading to a

[09:21] part-time job from home? He can't be

[09:24] heading to college because DTC, that's

[09:26] Dixie Technical College, is back in St.

[09:28] George. So, it does make one wonder

[09:31] where did Tyler Robinson spend the

[09:33] night? Since he's wearing the same

[09:35] clothes, did he perhaps sleep in his

[09:37] car? If he was concerned after his

[09:39] interaction with the cops near the

[09:41] wooded area and before heading to Dairy

[09:43] Queen, perhaps he felt going straight

[09:45] home was just too risky. If he delayed

[09:48] going to the wooded area because of cops

[09:50] in the area, perhaps he didn't go home

[09:52] that night for the same reason.

[09:54] Meanwhile, it does seem like he was home

[09:56] at some point on on September 11. When

[09:59] his mother called later that morning

[10:00] after seeing the news, that's where he

[10:02] said he was. Robinson's mother stated

[10:04] the following to police. On September

[10:06] 11, the day after the shooting,

[10:08] Robinson's mother saw the photo of the

[10:10] shooter in the news and thought the

[10:12] shooter looked like her son. Robinson's

[10:14] mother called her son and asked him

[10:16] where he was. He said he was at home

[10:18] sick, that he had also been at home sick

[10:20] on September 10th. Well, this visit to

[10:23] the garage proves that that's not true.

[10:25] And heading to Cedar City, if he was

[10:27] homesick just to put in fuel doesn't

[10:29] make any sense under those

[10:31] circumstances. Robinson's mother

[10:33] expressed concern to her husband that

[10:35] the suspected shooter looked like

[10:37] Robinson. Robinson's father agreed.

[10:40] There is also another question. What

[10:42] happened to the clothing the shooter

[10:44] wore during the incident? Well, we know

[10:46] it was disposed of, but exactly where

[10:48] and exactly when. Was it after his

[10:50] mother showed him the surveillance

[10:52] footage or before? And was this early

[10:55] morning run to the garage part of that

[10:57] effort of getting rid of his clothing or

[11:00] had he done that in a CCTV tracking and

[11:04] tracking of financial statements shows

[11:06] also why serial killers today are a

[11:08] relic from the past. It's very difficult

[11:11] to commit murder these days and get away

[11:13] with it. Well, get away without being

[11:15] seen, let alone serial murder. All

[11:18] right, that's six clues. How many of you

[11:19] can name clues one to six so far? And

[11:22] what do you think? Do I need to keep

[11:24] going with these clues? Because

[11:26] >> I can do this all day.

[11:27] >> Yeah.

[11:28] >> Okay, I'm not going to take it further

[11:29] than that. Meanwhile, there is another

[11:31] mystery that is really deepening in

[11:33] Australia. A little boy that has gone

[11:35] missing with so few clues. It really is.

[11:39] He's been missing for 8 days now. It

[11:41] really is quite a headscratcher. In any

[11:43] event, thank you for listening wherever

[11:45] you are. Stay safe. Enjoy your weekend.

[11:48] And I'll see you guys next time.
