Summary

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share a jam-packed episode of shocking revelations in several ongoing cases. We’ll start with developments in the Houston, TX prosecution of (2:47) Lee Gilley from his "Closed-Door" hearing on Tuesday and then move to (11:41) Angie Solomon’s simultaneous 'Live-Broadcast-Against-Judge's-Orders' Probable Cause / Preliminary hearing in Franklin, Tennessee. Before Angie’s arrest earlier this month, she had vocally accused her ex-husband, former TV news anchor Aaron Solomon, of killing their 18-year-old son, Grant, in 2020, and sexually abusing their daughter, Gracie, who is now 18. On Tuesday, the undercover officer who posed as a hitman for hire played a recording for the court in which Angie — the mother of Grant and Gracie Solomon — can be heard trying to negotiate for her Aaron’s killing … on a credit plan. ..? Also on today’s episode, (28:00) Part Two of the Weldon Boyd Calls and what former Horry County Police Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland AND recently-fired HCPD Officer Damon Vescovi did in the aftermath of Scott Spivey’s killing.
