Summary

On the morning of October 12, 2013, 23-year-old Army veteran Christian Griggs went to his in-laws’ property in Angier, North Carolina to pick up his young daughter, Jaden. At 10:54 a.m., he called his father Tony to say that his father-in-law, Reverend Pat Chisenhall, was yelling at him while his estranged wife Katie hid inside the house. Six minutes later, at 11:00 a.m., Tony arrived at the Chisenhall home to find his son lying face-down, bleeding and unresponsive. Pat had shot him six times with a .22 rifle. Once in the abdomen, once on the top of his left shoulder, and four times in the back.

Christian was rushed to the hospital, where he was soon pronounced dead. As his family struggled to process the sudden loss, detectives began piecing together what had happened that fateful morning. What they uncovered were conflicting accounts, multiple 911 calls, and questions that would haunt the case for years to come.

Hello, everybody.

0:13.0

Welcome back to Crime Weekly.

0:14.8

I'm Stephanie Harlow.

0:16.0

And I'm Derek Lavasser.

0:17.4

So today we're diving into part two of the Christian Griggs case. And we have we have a lot to talk about today, definitely getting more detailed, looking closer at things, which is good. But before we do, we want to talk about CrimeCon really quick because technically when you see this, we're back. We're already back, although we're recording it before we go but we're banking episodes we don't want anyone who

0:40.9

can't attend crime con to not have an episode and not have an episode because again

0:46.1

it's a small group of people that are going to be going so we can't really talk

0:49.8

much about how the event went I will say I can't talk at all about it because we haven't done there yet. Let's let's make this a little time capsule. So I think I'm going to flub on it. We're presenting an award. I think I'm going to flub on the teleprompter. That's one. I'm worried about that. That's one prediction. The second prediction is we're going to lose to Kendall Ray At the Clue Award. So we're nominated for a Clue Award. Content Creator the year. Yeah, we're also presenting an award. That's the only way they can get us on stage. At the Clue Award. I think this is what the third year in a row, we're definitely not going to win. We're definitely not going to win because Kendall Ray is also. So this is the first time she's been to Crime Con and she lives in Denver. So she's got this wrapped up. Home court advantage. Yeah. But they gave us a script for the award we have to, you know, to introduce. And I was like, Derek. It was horrible. What do you? Yeah. At first I was like, I'm not saying these words. We had to rewrite it and send it back. But Ice Tea is introducing us to give the award. And I think Derek is going to have a little bit of an issue with the teleprompter. Out of principle, I'm going to surprise you because I hope you do. I'm on a teleprompter every week at Big Brother Unlocked. And it's live to tape, so you could redo it if you have to, but it's on a jib moving, and I still nail it. So now, just out of principle, I'm going to memorize this freaking script, so I don't mess it up. And I, and I, the karma would be so great if you

2:18.4

flub a word. Dude, I really genuinely hope you don't mess up because it's not that I'm

2:24.7

attacking Derek needlessly. I do these ads with him every week. And he does the call to action.

2:30.3

And sometimes it's hard to get through. That's all. Well, in fairness, you can kind of ad lib your part. My part's verbatim. So when I mess one word up, they could make us redo the whole thing. But you're not wrong. I'm not disputing it. However, I will be having Shannon cut this up and clip this. Because by the way, you guys's too late now but the clue awards is streaming live

2:52.3

so people can watch it whether you attend or not and man stephanie harlowe you flub a word i'm going to be

3:00.2

reminding you of it for the next 10 years okay so i'm also going to have shannon cut this up yes with

3:05.9

the with the clue awards for if you do.

3:08.3

But me flubbing is like, that's predictable. Yeah. You calling me out for it. That would be, we're going to have you calling me out and then you flubbing. Because you know what? Why would you wish that on me? Because. Don't put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby. I'm doing it. And you know what? We're going to be in front of a lot of people.

3:24.6

You're not good with big crowds.

3:26.5

You'll probably have a lot of people. You're not good

3:25.3

with big crowds. You'll probably have a cocktail or two. I'm not good with big crowds on the ground.

3:31.9

On stage, impeccable. Okay. All right. Oh my God. Oh my God. Please for Christmas, give me something.
