Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland get a dose of breaking news mid-episode when the warrant for Angie Solomon’s “murder for hire” arrest comes in, raising all-new questions. In 2020, Angie’s 18-year-old son Grant was killed in a strange set of circumstances while outside a gym while his father, Aaron Solomon, was present. Since then, Angie sought justice for her son — as well as for her young daughter, who has accused Aaron of sexual abuse. Was Angie really trying to hire someone to kill Aaron? Or was she set up?  Also on the show, a discussion of the “Gone Girls” documentary about the Long Island serial killer. Would you open the door to a stranger in distress? And what are Rex Heuermann’s connections to South Carolina?  Plus, a double dose of breaking news as Eric gets a call from Creighton Waters in the middle of the recording about Russell’s federal and state charges. He’s pleading GUILTY and saving us all the trouble of watching him squirm in court.  And finally, it’s finally been announced! Actress Brittany Snow — known for her roles in “Pitch Perfect” and “John Tucker Must Die” — has joined the cast of Hulu’s “Murdaugh Murders” series in the role of … Mandy! But we’ll get into all the feels on this week’s Girl Talk episode for Soak Up The Sun Premium Members!
