EXCLUSIVE: Never Before Seen Rooftop Footage. Plus, The Rookie Cop Who Found the Gun. | Ep 367

56 min video5 key momentsWatch original
TL;DR

Candace releases exclusive 4K rooftop footage showing the alleged shooter performing military tactical moves with no visible recoil, and reveals the rookie cop who found Tyler Robinson's gun has a father who spent 21 years at NCIS before recently transferring to a local inspector general role.

Key Insights

1

Military training never presentedA witness who recorded footage from an adjacent building specifically told authorities the person on the rooftop displayed military training and performed a 'lateral crawl' — but this testimony was never presented in the preliminary hearing despite being directly relevant.

2

No recoil observedThe alleged gun is a German 98 Mauser that produces significant recoil when fired and typically causes a black eye through a scope, yet the witness reported seeing no recoil and the new footage shows none — a potential ballistic inconsistency.

3

Rookie's father left NCIS suddenlyMitchell Curtis, the 2025 UVU graduate who found the gun after bomb-detection dogs came up empty, has a father named Foster Curtis who spent 21 years at NCIS rising to division chief in the Office of Inspector General before abruptly taking a local inspector general role in June 2025.

4

Dog with broken noseTyler Robinson texted Lance that he hoped 'the pooch has a bad sniffer' just hours before the shooting — and Freya, the bomb dog assigned to search the field where the gun was found, allegedly had a broken nose that day and detected nothing.

5

Degraded fingerprints, dust in barrelThe gun presented as evidence had dust in the barrel indicating non-use, and Tyler's fingerprints were described by ATF as 'the most degraded' among five other sets of prints, raising questions about how it could have been the murder weapon.

6

Secretary of Navy on Epstein planeTrump appointed John Fallon, a Goldman Sachs banker with zero military experience, as Secretary of the Navy — the person overseeing NCIS — and Fallon flew twice on Jeffrey Epstein's plane in early 2006, according to released manifests.

Deep Dive

The Rooftop Footage and Military Training

Candace reveals exclusive 4K zoomed footage of the alleged gunman on the Losi Center rooftop, sourced from someone who witnessed the shooting and recorded on his iPhone. The witness, a professional who understood military tactics, explicitly told police the person looked trained and performed what's known as a lateral military crawl — a technique requiring formal military instruction. This witness was never called to testify at the preliminary hearing despite having direct visual evidence of the shooting itself. What makes this critical is that when Candace examines the footage frame-by-frame, she identifies the exact moment the person executes the lateral crawl, a movement that requires discipline and training most civilians would never perform. She then compares it to actual military personnel performing the same maneuver to show the similarity. The prosecution and defense both ignored this witness entirely, which Candace argues suggests a deliberate choice to keep trained-personnel evidence out of the courtroom narrative.

The Ballistics Problem: No Recoil on a Heavy Rifle

Candace focuses on a major ballistic inconsistency: Tyler Robinson is alleged to have fired a German 98 Mauser, a heavy bolt-action rifle that produces severe recoil and often causes a black eye when firing through a scope. The eyewitness explicitly stated he saw no recoil. In the new footage, Candace plays 50 seconds of continuous video looking for any kickback or shoulder movement from the shooter lying prone — and finds none visible. She acknowledges the footage quality isn't perfect but argues it's clear enough to detect strong recoil if it occurred. She also notes the absurdity of how the gun allegedly made its way from Tyler's skinny jeans (where a 3.5-foot fully-assembled rifle would barely fit and protrude above his 5'10" frame) onto the rooftop without being seen. The combination of no visible recoil, the impossibility of concealing such a weapon in skinny jeans, and the witness account of no recoil creates what she frames as a core inconsistency in the official story.

The Rookie Cop and His Federal Background

The gun was supposedly found by rookie officer Mitchell Curtis of Pleasant Grove Police, who had just graduated from UVU in 2025 — described as beginner's luck. What Candace discovered is that Curtis's father, Foster Curtis, spent 21 years as an NCIS special agent, eventually rising to division chief in the Office of Inspector General overseeing the Naval Criminal Investigative Services. NCIS is the federal law enforcement arm that investigates major crimes involving the Navy and Marine Corps, with a global presence in 41 countries. Crucially, if a military assassination were to have been plotted and executed by U.S. military personnel, NCIS would be the office in charge of that investigation. In June 2025, Foster Curtis abruptly left his 21-year federal career to become Richmond, Virginia's interim inspector general after the previous inspector general was fired with no explanation and NDAs signed. Candace frames this as suspicious timing: a senior federal investigator leaves NCIS, and months later his son — a brand-new officer barely out of UVU — finds the critical murder weapon after bomb-detection dogs failed to locate it.

The Bomb Dog and the Convenient Text Message

The official story claims bomb-detection dogs conducted an initial search near the amphitheater at Losi Center but came up empty. Candace identifies two dogs: Loki, who was given a specific scent to chase near the amphitheater, and Freya, a bomb-detection dog assigned to search the field where the gun was ultimately found. Freya, she reports, allegedly had a broken nose that day and didn't detect the gun. The suspicious detail is that Tyler Robinson texted Lance hours before the shooting saying he'd seen an officer with a canine nearby and hoped the dog had a 'bad sniffer' — using informal Gen Z language. Hours later, the dog with the bad sniffer (Freya) is the one assigned to the field where the gun sits undetected. Only after Freya failed did federal agents instruct two rookie cops to search the same area again, where they immediately found the gun. Candace suggests this strains credulity: either the text was precognitive, or Tyler somehow knew which specific dog would fail to detect the weapon.

The Secretary of the Navy and Epstein Connections

Candace pivots to Trump's appointment of John Fallon as Secretary of the Navy — the official who oversees NCIS. Fallon, a Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch banker, has zero military background. She discovers that according to released Epstein flight manifests, Fallon flew twice on Epstein's plane in February and March 2006, before Epstein's first arrest. The second flight manifest lists Fallon alongside Epstein, modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel (who later died in prison under suspicious circumstances), and six redacted names. Brunel was central to Epstein's trafficking network and sent Epstein underage triplets as a birthday gift. Candace connects this to Erica Kirk and Turning Point USA's alleged modeling apartment operations that Brunel helped found. She argues the pattern suggests a trafficking network spanning the West, and that Trump's choice to appoint someone with Epstein connections to oversee the military's primary investigative body is deeply troubling given the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Takeaways

  • Examine why military-trained personnel footage and witness testimony about tactical moves were excluded from the preliminary hearing despite being directly relevant to the shooting.
  • Demand ballistic testing data on the alleged murder weapon showing muzzle velocity, recoil patterns, and shot grouping to compare against the footage.
  • Investigate Foster Curtis's sudden departure from NCIS leadership in June 2025 and the circumstances of Richmond's inspector general firing and NDA signings.
  • Request full flight manifests and passenger lists for all Epstein-affiliated flights in 2006 and identify the six redacted names alongside John Fallon.
