Tracy Twyman
Author and researcher investigating elite pedophile networks and occult ritual abuse was found hanged in her garage in July 2019 — two months after Isaac Kappy's death, whose research she was actively continuing. She had recorded a detailed 27-minute death-threat warning video just 11 days after Kappy died, then went silent on social media before her body was found.

Assessment: HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS
Twyman's case stands out even among suspicious researcher deaths for one specific reason: she anticipated her own murder in detail and left evidence in advance. Just 11 days after Isaac Kappy died, she recorded a 27-minute video and gave it to two trusted friends with instructions to release it only if she died. That video — which became her posthumous testimony — documented death threats personally tailored to her fears, a hacked computer and phone, connections between her situation and Kappy's death, and a specific Arizona campground she had investigated that was suddenly shut down after her inquiry. She then went silent on social media, stopped using Twitter and YouTube, and was found dead weeks later. She had gathered binders of evidence, taken it to the FBI, and received no protection. Her death by hanging — the same method used in the Epstein, Brunel, Middleton, and Bowers deaths — and the precise timing between Kappy's death (May 2019) and Epstein's arrest (July 6, 2019) places her case in a dense and disturbing cluster.
Background
Tracy Renee Twyman was born August 28, 1978, in Kansas City, Missouri. She was a prolific author, podcast producer, and independent researcher into esoteric history, occult movements, and elite secret societies. She wrote approximately seven non-fiction books and one novel, and hosted multiple podcasts exploring occult themes. Her published works include:
- The Merovingian Mythos — on royal bloodlines and the Holy Grail tradition
- Solomon's Treasure — Templar history and esoteric symbolism
- Money Grows on the Tree of Knowledge — on financial systems and occult symbolism
- Baphomet: The Temple Mystery Unveiled (co-authored with Alexander Rivera) — on Templar worship and ritual
- Clock Shavings — autobiographical account of her occult research, including Ouija board communications with entities identifying as Baphomet, Cain, and Satan; described her founding of a secret society, the Ordo Lapsit Exillis
- Genuflect (novel, 2017) — a fiction-wrapped disclosure of her research into elite ritual abuse, set in London's City financial district, depicting a billionaire conducting Satanic rituals including the rape, torture, and murder of children to achieve occult power; reviewers noted it contained extensive real research embedded in fictional form; included esoteric topics: Baphomet, Cybele, Mithras, the Sator Square, the Black Sun, sacrifice of the Celestial Bull, and the New Jerusalem
- Genuflect 2.0: FAQ With Answers & Other Articles (posthumously published)
- PLUS ULTRA — Killing God to Become God — a document connecting elite occult beliefs, spirit cooking, and the Pizzagate controversy
Twyman founded the Dagobert's Revenge magazine and later the DragonKey Press, both focused on esoteric research. She was known in occult research circles for her methodical sourcing and extensive primary research.
Transition into Pedophile Network Research
In 2018, Twyman shifted focus from esoteric history to active investigation of child trafficking and elite pedophile networks. She began researching Isaac Kappy's claims about Hollywood pedophilia. Her research expanded from Kappy's Hollywood allegations to what she concluded was a connected network running through elite political and occult circles — including the Pizzagate and spirit cooking controversies centered on John Podesta, and connections to organized child abuse abroad.
A significant component of her research, documented in the dead man's switch video and described by colleagues, involved a specific school near Yorkshire, England, where she claimed to have identified evidence that children were being exploited via YouTube. She gathered what was described as "binders" of evidence from this investigation, including documentation of what she believed were coded references in videos targeting the children.
Circumstances of Death
Twyman was found hanged in her garage in July 2019. Her husband found the body. The exact date and location were not publicly disclosed at the family's request, though she was known to live in the Portland, Oregon area. Her husband was investigated by law enforcement and cleared as a suspect. The official ruling was suicide by hanging.
The discovery of the death was first reported publicly on July 10, 2019, through the Ground Zero radio program, by her friend and podcast co-host S.B. Alger.
The Dead Man's Switch Video
The most significant element of Twyman's case is the 27-minute video she recorded on May 24, 2019 — exactly 11 days after Isaac Kappy's death — and entrusted to two close friends with instructions to release it only upon her death. When she died, one of those friends posted it publicly.
According to documentation of the video by Burners.me, Wikispooks, and independent researchers who viewed it after it was released, the video contained:
- Documented death threats: Twyman described receiving numerous death threats, which she characterized as personally tailored to her specific fears — indicating that whoever was threatening her had detailed personal knowledge about her.
- Computer and phone hacking: She described her internet connection "frequently malfunctioning" and her phone behaving abnormally in ways she attributed to surveillance or interference.
- Connections to Isaac Kappy: She drew explicit connections between the threats she was receiving and what had happened to Kappy, noting she believed the same network was responsible for both.
- The Arizona campground: She referenced a specific campground in the Arizona/Williams area that she had investigated and which was suddenly closed after her inquiry — she connected this site to the trafficking network she was researching.
- The FBI's refusal to act: She documented that she had approached the FBI with her evidence and been "completely boxed out" — the FBI initially refused to take her report and subsequently showed no interest in the material she had compiled.
- Yorkshire school evidence: She described locating what she believed was an English school near Yorkshire whose children were being exploited via YouTube, and said she had documented evidence of this.
Her Social Media Silence Before Death
Consistent with the pattern of someone who has received credible, specific death threats, Twyman shut down her public presence before her death. She stopped using Twitter and YouTube. She told people close to her: "I'm going to stop using Twitter and YouTube after what happened. I've received death threats." Those close to her interpreted this sudden withdrawal as evidence that she was genuinely frightened, not exhibiting suicidal behavior.
The Claimed Connection to Child Trafficking / Pedophile Ring Exposure
Twyman's research connected multiple elite networks she alleged were linked:
Hollywood (Kappy's material): She was actively continuing Kappy's investigation into Hollywood-connected pedophile networks at the time of her death.
Pizzagate / Spirit Cooking: Her work in PLUS ULTRA — Killing God to Become God addressed what she characterized as connections between Aleister Crowley's sexual magic rituals, the concept of "spirit cooking," and alleged practices of elite figures. In her occult research framework, she had traced what she believed were common threads between documented elite occult practices and child abuse.
Podesta connections: Twyman's research touched on allegations surrounding John Podesta and Tony Podesta in the context of Pizzagate and the spirit cooking controversy. She explored what she described as connections between occult artistic imagery associated with figures in the Podesta circle and ritual abuse iconography. These are Twyman's investigative claims and must be attributed as such. No criminal charges have been filed against either Podesta in relation to child abuse. They have not been convicted of any related crime.
Yorkshire school: As described in the dead man's switch video, she claimed to have located specific evidence of child exploitation connected to a school in England near Yorkshire, including YouTube videos she characterized as coded threats to children.
Occult elite networks: Her novel Genuflect — written before her death and understood by readers as semi-autobiographical research disclosure — depicted the City of London as the locus of a billionaire-funded Satanic ritual program that included the abuse and murder of children. Reviewers noted the research embedded in the fiction was specific and extensive.
Why This Death Raises Questions
- She recorded a detailed 27-minute video documenting death threats and hacking just 11 days after a fellow researcher (Isaac Kappy) died — and instructed friends to release it only if she was killed
- She explicitly told friends she had received death threats and stopped using social media out of fear — not out of suicidal withdrawal
- She had gathered documented evidence of child exploitation, taken it to the FBI, and the FBI refused to engage — leaving her without institutional protection
- The death threats she described were "personally tailored" to her specific fears, suggesting the threatening parties had intimate knowledge about her
- She died by hanging — the same method as Jeffrey Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, Mark Middleton, and Thomas Bowers, all of whose deaths are connected to elite trafficking networks
- Her death occurred approximately one month before Epstein's arrest on July 6, 2019 — placing it at the precise moment when Epstein-adjacent witnesses and researchers faced peak exposure risk
- Her death came just two months after Isaac Kappy's death, whose research she was actively extending
- The campground she had investigated in Arizona (near Williams/Green Leaf Canyon area) was reportedly closed after her inquiry — suggesting someone was tracking what she was looking into; accounts describe the campground as potentially tied to "Turks or a cult figure," though this has not been independently verified
- She died in a period when multiple people researching overlapping material died in a cluster

The Counterargument
The official ruling is suicide. Her husband was investigated and formally cleared. No physical evidence of foul play was reported publicly. Twyman had spent years in deep immersion in occult research communities that were known to feature elevated levels of interpersonal conflict, harassment, and paranoia about surveillance — the death threats she received could plausibly have come from bad actors within those communities rather than government operatives or trafficking networks.
Her "dead man's switch" video, while striking and specific, is evidence that she feared being killed — not that she was actually killed by the parties she named. People in her research environment received harassment and threats regularly. The absence of an official finding of foul play, and the presence of a cleared husband, means the suicide ruling has not been contradicted by forensic evidence made public.
Her research into spirit cooking, Podesta connections, and Yorkshire school exploitation drew heavily from Pizzagate — a conspiracy theory that mainstream journalism and law enforcement have consistently categorized as unsubstantiated. The FBI's refusal to act on her evidence could reflect a reasonable assessment that the evidence did not meet investigative thresholds rather than institutional suppression.
Social Media Claims and X.com Coverage
Twyman's death is treated as an unambiguous murder in X conspiracy communities, with little of the ambivalence present in discussions of other suspicious deaths. The dominant framing is that she was a martyr: accounts describe her as someone who "gave her life to show us truth" and treat the dead man's switch video as conclusive evidence of her being targeted. Key accounts amplifying her case include @CnsprtrlRprt, @RedPandaKoala, @NickHintonn, @Pby1000, @ninjashoes, and @BobSchlenkerTOS. Engagement ranges from dozens to hundreds of likes and reposts.
The core narrative on X: Twyman investigated Pizzagate/Pedogate material after contact with Isaac Kappy; discovered YouTube-based exploitation networks, including coded videos allegedly used to sell access to children or communicate threats to victims; located a specific England school near Yorkshire where children were allegedly being prostituted; took evidence to the FBI and was turned away; received personalized death threats; recorded the dead man's switch video; and was then killed. Her connection to the Arizona campground is tied in some posts to "Turks or a cult figure," with the campground closing abruptly after her inquiry — Kappy died very close to the same area.
The Alger question: Several X posts specifically raise concerns about S.B. Alger — Twyman's podcast co-host and the person who publicly announced her death. Posts allege that Twyman had begun to distrust Alger before her death, and that Alger or associated figures subsequently attempted to scrub parts of her online presence. These are unverified social media claims. No evidence of criminal involvement has been established against Alger, and he has not been charged with or convicted of any wrongdoing in connection with her death. These claims are documented here as circulating public allegations only.
The online scrubbing claim: Multiple X posts allege that after her death, efforts were made to remove or suppress her online content — podcasts, videos, and research materials. Some of this content has indeed become harder to locate through standard searches, though material has been preserved on Odysee and archive sites. Whether any removal was deliberate suppression, routine platform content moderation, or family-requested takedown is not publicly documented.
Fringe extensions: Some posts extend the claims to include her alleged discovery of "baby eating" evidence tied to trafficking networks, sentient AI connections (drawing from her earlier Clock Shavings work with entities she communicated with via Ouija board), and Epstein-adjacent network ties through the Hollywood figures Kappy had named. The AI/occult thread is a recurring topic in posts by accounts focused on her esoteric research background. These claims are at the outermost edge of the fringe narrative and are not corroborated by any independent source.
No new direct quotes found: X searches returned no verified pre-death Twyman quotes specifically about child sex trafficking or pedophile rings beyond what is documented in this profile and in the dead man's switch video. Her broader recorded discussions on trafficking, however, provide relevant context — see Key Quotes below.
