Kim Kardashian has built her celebrity on giving the public a sense that they are getting total access to her life. But since an early Monday morning robbery in Paris, in which thieves held Kardashian at gunpoint and stole more than $10 million in jewelry, the reality TV star has been noticeably silent on her usually hyperactive social media accounts.

In the absence of updates from Kardashian herself, plenty of theories and details are floating around about what happened in the luxury apartment where she was staying. TMZ, citing “sources involved in the case,” published an article Tuesday morning reporting that investigators and Kardashian’s family believe someone must have tipped off the robbers as to when Kardashian would be alone and “the right time to strike.”

Authorities are still looking for five suspects they say were involved in the robbery. Two of the men, dressed as officers and wearing masks, broke into the apartment, according to the Associated Press.

Kardashian had been staying at a mansion with nine apartments frequented by celebrities. The concierge let the two men in about 2:30 a.m. Handcuffed and held at gunpoint, the concierge led the thieves to Kardashian’s apartment. She was bound, forced into a bathtub and had her mouth covered with tape, CNN reported. The thieves stole more than $10 million worth of jewelry.

Nearly the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan has gone silent on social media. Caitlyn Jenner posted an Instagram photo of her and daughter Kylie Jenner after news broke of the robbery. Kylie Jenner also posted some tweets about her cosmetic line and partnership with a nonprofit, but they may have been previously scheduled.
