As law enforcement continues its manhunt for the suspect, an odd development has added to the confusion: Screenshots circulating online show a book titled \u201cThe Shooting of Charlie Kirk: A Comprehensive Account of the Utah Valley University Attack, the Aftermath, and America\u2019s Response,\u201d credited to an author named Anastasia J Casey. According to the screenshots, the listed publication date was September 9\u2014one day before the shooting. The listing was allegedly visible on Amazon briefly before being removed. The images of the cover, title, and date quickly spread across X, fueling speculation about foreknowledge or a cover-up.\u201cCan someone investigate this perhaps? It\u2019s now pulled from Amazon online listing. Who is Anastasia Casey? Regardless of the credibility of the 9.9 publish date, how did this book get out so quick,\u201d one user wrote.Another post read: \u201cBut check this out, another book published today? How the hell can you get a book published and up for sale in such short time ??? @FBIDirectorKash @AGPamBondi @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr.\u201dSome users drew comparisons to past events. \u201cA book entitled \u2018The Shooting of Charlie Kirk\u2019 by Anastasia J Casey has appeared on Amazon with a PUBLICATION DATE OF SEPTEMBER 9TH 2025. A DAY BEFORE HE WAS ASSASSINATED,\u201d one person commented.Others pointed out more examples. \u201cThis is like the 9\/11 reporting strangeness. Something is off on how quickly these people are making these books. There are 2-3 more published yesterday about Charlie&#8217;s assassination. One is 36 pages,\u201d another user noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and close ally of US President Donald Trump, was fatally shot Thursday&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[18854,18571,18852,489,17757,18856,156,18855,18853,111,139,69,18851,18850],"class_list":{"0":"post-16966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-amazon-book-listing","9":"tag-anastasia-j-casey","10":"tag-book-publication-date","11":"tag-books","12":"tag-charlie-kirk","13":"tag-conspiracy-theories","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-media-controversy","16":"tag-murder-investigation","17":"tag-new-zealand","18":"tag-newzealand","19":"tag-nz","20":"tag-trump-ally-shooting","21":"tag-utah-valley-university"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
