Electrician's Last Meal: Panguitch Steakhouse Ties to Kirk Murder Suspect
17 Jan
Summary
- Restaurant owner tipped off FBI after identifying murder suspect.
- Suspect allegedly ate sirloin steak, vegetables, and baked potato.
- Panguitch restaurant provided partial debit card digits to FBI.
A Panguitch, Utah, restaurateur alerted the FBI after a customer bore a striking resemblance to Tyler Robinson, the suspect arrested for the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The owner reported that the individual, who appeared to be Robinson, ate alone at the counter on the night of the murder, ordering a medium-rare sirloin steak with vegetables and a baked potato. The staff described him as quiet and disinclined to converse, contrary to typical counter patrons.
Following Robinson's arrest, the restaurant owner's server recognized the suspect's photo. This led to the restaurant providing the FBI with the last four digits of the debit card used for the meal, potentially placing Robinson in Panguitch, approximately three hours south of the Orem crime scene.
