Charlie, 31, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 during an appearance in Orem, Utah. Eight days later, Turning Point named Erika, 37, CEO and chairperson. RadarOnline reports she then led a recruitment push that added about 62,000 members. Skeptics demanded proof of Charlie's succession plans; a Republican insider told RadarOnline the leak could strengthen Erika's standing. The accused, 23-year-old Tyler James Robinson, has pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder and faces possible capital exposure if convicted.
