Book by Annastasia Casey Draws Scrutiny in Charlie Kirk Murder Probe

OREM, September 12, 2025 — Authorities confirmed Friday that a book authored by Annastasia Casey, reportedly containing references to a planned attack on conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, was published just one day before his fatal shooting at Utah Valley University.

The book’s contents are under official review, with investigators noting similarities between passages in the publication and the September 10 incident in which Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead while addressing an audience. Officials are examining whether the timing of the book’s release points to premeditation or outside involvement in the killing.

While Casey’s direct connection to the suspect has not yet been established, law enforcement officials said the discovery has become a central element of the investigation, which continues to explore possible motives and accomplices in the high-profile case.
