Nielsen praised Twiggs as a “hardworking” and “straight A” student who did his best to ensure everyone was included during his time at UT Success Academy, which is an accelerated program for gifted students seeking college-level courses. “We went to a dance once, a high school dance, and he was very involved with it. Made sure everyone had rides. Made sure everyone had clothes. He just took care of people. My sister’s car broke down once, and he came out to help her,” she said.
‘His parents never sat right with my family’
Lance was booted from his family’s home over his Mormon faith, and he bounced between homes during his latter years of high school. “It was on and off. He was bouncing couches. He would live with us for a few months, but didn’t like taking up our couch. He would crash with friends,” Nielsen said.
She added, “I loved Lance. His parents kicked him out of his house, and he lived with us. His parents never sat right with my family.”
Nielsen claimed that she does not believe Twiggs ever did drugs. “Lance, that I know of, has never done drugs. He was always like, ‘I don’t want to go out and party.’ He just wasn’t a big partier,” she said.

‘The Lance that I knew would never do something like that’
Nielsen, meanwhile, she “had no clue Lance was trans.” She also claimed she was certain he could not have had a part in Robinson’s plan. “I think that’s all Tyler. The Lance that I knew would never do something like that. I could never see Lance doing that,” she insisted.
Nielsen’s mother, Jackie, echoed her daughter’s thoughts. “I don’t believe Lance would have any part of that. He’s a good kid. He’s a kid. He’s compassionate. He minds his own business. I hope the world lightens up on him and stops being so hateful until they have all the facts. He doesn’t deserve this,” she told the New York Post.

Kaufman said he has only heard glowing reports about Twiggs from the school community members. “Everything I’ve heard about him, he was a great kid. He was nice. He worked hard,” he said.
Recently, Twiggs abandoned the townhouse he shared with his alleged boyfriend, Robinson, who too was raised as a devout Mormon, in St. George, Utah. Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby previously said that Twiggs was in a “safe space very far away from St. George,” and needed “to lay low for a long time.”
