‘Assassin’ Tyler Robinson wrote note.FBI boss says

‘We have since learned the note – even though it was destroyed – we have found forensic evidence of the note and we have confirmed what the note said because our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.’

Patel did not clarify whether the message was handwritten or digital, or how it was recovered.

Robinson, 22, was taken into custody on Friday in connection with the assassination at Utah Valley University that shocked the world.

Patel also revealed that DNA matching Robinson was found at the spot where Kirk’s shooter fired from, as well as on the towel that covered the murder weapon when it was ditched in the woods by the killer.

Patel confirmed that Robinson is not cooperating with investigators following his arrest on Friday.

Robinson was finally taken into custody after he was persuaded to turn himself in by his father, officials said.

As of Sunday, investigators were still piecing together information about the suspect and were not yet ready to discuss a potential motive.

But Utah Governor Spencer Cox noted that Robinson disliked Kirk and may have been ‘radicalized’ online.

The Republican governor cited as evidence engravings on bullet casings found in the rifle that authorities believe was used in the attack, as well as chat app messages attributed to the suspect that a roommate shared with law enforcement.

Family and friends of the suspect described his politics as veering left in recent years as he spent large amounts of time scrolling the ‘dark corners of the internet,’ Cox said Sunday.

‘The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female,’ Cox said. ‘I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening.’

Cox confirmed that investigators determined Robinson was actively joking with acquaintances on the messaging platform Discord after they noticed he resembled Kirk’s shooter.
