Investigative journalists — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have encountered one of the strangest things they’ve ever seen from a murder suspect who hasn’t even been arraigned yet … a campaign website! 

Last week a listener sent in a tip about former South Carolina resident Lee Gilley, who is facing a Capital Murder charge in Houston, Texas, in the October 2024 death of his wife, Christa Bauer and their unborn child. A website had been published about Lee and his life as an apparently flawless human being incapable of murder. It’s yet another brazen move from an entitled good ole boy who thinks the normal procedures of the justice system don’t apply to him. 

Also on the show, a follow-up on the YouTube creator who is being sued by JP Miller. Plus, updates on Bowen Turner’s alleged parole violations and Buster Murdaugh’s defamation case. Plus, we'll update you on the latest in the Peter J. Strauss case who's sentencing is set for 2pm on February 20th in Charleston. 

Let's dive in... 🥽🦈
