Summary

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell provide updates on the case of Chris Skinner's suspicious death, Buster Murdaugh’s defamation case, Johnnie James’ suspicious/not suspicious death and the capital murder charge against Lee Gilley for the death of his pregnant wife Christa Bauer Gilley. [3:37] Hear the latest developments in the tragic and suspicious 2021 drowning death of Chris Skinner, the quadriplegic husband of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, “Pastor” John-Paul Miller’s girlfriend, Suzi. In 2024 — after watching video footage of Skinner’s final moments and seeing that it didn’t seem like his drowning was an “accident” — Mandy and Liz called on the Myrtle Beach Coroner’s Office to reopen its investigation into Skinner’s death. This past week, that second investigation was finally announced publicly. [18:21] Also on the episode, Buster Murdaugh calls on a federal judge to reconsider his order to split Murdaugh’s defamation case against Netflix, Warner Brothers and other defendants. Buster’s argument? He’ll be presenting evidence to the court proving that he didn’t kill Stephen Smith — a gay teenager left for dead on a Hampton County road — including DEPOSITIONS of people who have “personal knowledge” of the events that led to Stephen’s death in July 2015. Will Buster end up the hero in bringing justice to the Stephen Smith case? [33:35] Plus, an update on men’s rights fan Lee Gilley, who is accused of killing his wife and unborn baby in Houston, Texas, and lying about it. Why is it taking the state so long to indict him and should we be concerned? [50:42] Finally, a correction in the Jane Doe No. 1 case against JP Miller and an appeal for information.
