Description

Prosecutors say Lee Gilley, the Texas man accused of strangling his pregnant wife Christa Gilley to death, cut off his GPS monitor and fled through Canada to Italy just weeks before his capital murder trial was set to begin. Authorities allege Gilley traveled using forged Belgian documents under the fake name “Lejeune Jan Luc Olivier,” but Italian officials detained him after the documents failed inspection, leading to new federal charges tied to interstate flight to avoid prosecution. As investigators uncover alleged plans to flee the country and prosecutors prepare evidence about Gilley’s behavior before and after Christa’s death, his high-profile attorney insists the escape does not show guilt and claims his client was simply scared.

What a sicko. Strangling takes a lot of work and you see the face of the person, you supposedly love, struggling to survive, scared and horrific death. It’s disgusting.

If this guy had enough money to pay a $1 million bond, money to pay high-profile attorney, the prosecution should have figured out he had enough money to escape, too.

My dad cheated on my mom. He went to talk to my grandma his mother in-law. She told him if you do not want my daughter give her back to me. I don't want you to hurt her anymore. Just leave and divorce her. He cried more.
