An Editorial Opinion

Since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s on September 10, 2025, dozens on online sleuths have attempted to solve his murder. Podcaster Candace Owens appears to have done more work in this regard than any other amateur homicide investigator.

From a distance, it looked like Owens was making substantial progress in her investigation. Upon a closer inspection, she has not. 

Owens, a high school graduate, has no formal training in homicide investigations.  She has no law enforcement experience whatsoever.   She is not a college or law school graduate.  She is not a paralegal or an attorney.  Owens has never solved a murder case, nor broken open a law enforcement coverup.

In recent days, Candace Owens seems to be emotionally overwhelmed and exhausted by the weight of Kirk's murder case and the complexity of the ongoing law enforcement coverup in the case.

Experience Matters in Busting Open Law Enforcement Coverups

My experience in investigating police-related shootings, murders and/or law enforcement coverups spans five decades.  During this period, I have investigated and busted open seven massive law enforcement coverups and scores of simple ones.  Some of these cases were high-profile ones at the time, but most of them were not.

My experience with high-profile murders and massive police coverups began with what the Washington Post called “Alabama’s Watergate.” Bernard Whitehurst was an unarmed black man who was fatally shot by Montgomery, Alabama police officer Donnie Foster in December 1975. The police department initially claimed that Whitehurst was a fleeing felon who shot at Foster while on the run.  My investigation, which included exhuming Whitehurst’s body, revealed that Whitehurst was shot in the back and that the gun found beside his body was “planted” by police after his death. 

The Whitehurst case evolved into a nationally recognized scandal that resulted in the resignations of Montgomery’s mayor and police commissioner, the indictment of three police officers, and the firing or resignation of eight others.  

Then there was the high-profile police coverup in the Todd Road incident.   In 1983, out-of-state black family members were mourning the death of their mother at her home in Montgomery when two white plain clothes police officers mistook the Michigan and Ohio mourners’ license plates as a gathering of out-of-state drug dealers.  Unbelievably, these officers raided the funeral gathering on a "no-knock" basis and violence erupted in and around the home.  The officers, who were believed to be home invaders, were shot during the ensuing melee.  The mourners were subsequently arrested, beaten, and tortured while in police custody.

My investigation into the Todd Road incident as a Montgomery city councilman resulted in felony criminal charges against eleven of the mourners being reduced to misdemeanors in four cases and dropped altogether in eight others.

Next, was my experience in solving the high-profile murder of Army Private LaVena Johnson by her TRADOC commander – a four-star general -- on a U.S. military base in Balad, Iraq on July 19, 2005.  The Pentagon claimed Private Johnson committed suicide.  The undisputed forensic and physical evidence established that she was murdered.

After the Secretary of Defense and CENTCOM general for Iraqi Operations subsequently gave President George W. Bush a classified briefing about Private Johnson’s murder, the Pentagon promptly fired the general and covered up Private Johnson’s murder by classifying her death as a matter of “national security.” To this day, the Pentagon’s classified investigative files in Private Johnson’s murder case remain sealed -- 20 years after her death.

Lesser-known police shootings, murders, and law enforcement coverups that I busted open include: (a) the November 14, 1979, police shooting and coverup involving an unarmed Love Mae Lawson by Montgomery police officer Frank Mitchell, (b) the June 12, 1982 fatal police murder and coverup in the case of Frank Pinkston, an unarmed burglary suspect, by mulitple Montgomery police officers, and (c) the April 9, 1983 police shooting of an unarmed Bobby Joe Sales by Montgomery officer Ralph A. Connor. There are scores of other police-related murder cases where the law enforcement coverups were fairly simple.

The Full Truth in Charlie Kirk’s Murder Case Lies in Classified National Security Agency Files

Based upon my experience in solving police-related shooting and in busting open law enforcement coverups in these cases, it is obvious to me that there is a massive and ongoing federal and state law enforcement coverup in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Like the Pentagon coverup in Private LaVena Johnson’s case, the full truth in Kirk’s case lies in the files that have been classified by U.S. national security agencies as “Top Secret” for coverup purposes only. 

President Trump knows these files exist in Kirk's case. Yet, he has not declassified them. 

Presidential-level coverups always protect important countries and/or people. In Kirk's case, the protected parties are the nation of Israel and the Mossad national security agents who killed Charlie Kirk.

To further facilitate the coverup of Kirk's assassination by Mossad agents, the Trump administration has reduced Kirk's death to a simple state law murder case involving a purported "lone wolf" assassin.

Tyler Robinson, the “patsy” suspect in Kirk’s murder case, has a court-appointed defense team representing him in the case. Based upon the court filings in the case to date, Robinson's defense team has not sought access to any U.S. intelligence agency files relating to Kirk's assasination. They likely do not know such files exist.

Becuase no federal charges have been brought against Robinson, his defense team would have a very difficult time trying to access these classified national intelligence agency files.

Furthermore, a review of the defense team's professional experience reveals that this team has zero experience in busting open massive coverups by law enforcement and national security agencies.

Epilogue

Since his murder, Charlie Kirk’s widow and family members have been given condolences, a presidentially attended memorial service, a presidential order directing that American flags on government property be flown at half mast, a presidential medal of freedom, and plenty of well-wishes.  All of these are wonderful symbolic gestures. 

What the Kirk family has not been given by any federal or state official is the full truth about who killed Charlie Kirk, and why.

Donald Trump is a mastermind at suppressing the truth whenever it furthers his personal, business, and/or political interests. The Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case, with 1,000+ acknowledged victims, is a classic example of Trump's suppression of the truth. Trump, who partied with Epstein and his underaged girls for years, called the Epstein case a "hoax" and directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to close the case. Bondi dutifully complied with Trump's directive.

The acts of suppressing the truth and obstructing justice are as natural to Donald Trump as breathing.  As such, accessing the documents necessary to establish the full truth about Charlie Kirk’s assassination will not be possible until Trump leaves office. Hopefully, the next president will have the courage and desire to declassify the sealed files relating to Kirk's assassination and give his family the truth they deserve about what happened to Charlie Kirk, and why.
