Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter J Strauss

Investigative journalists — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have encountered one of the strangest things they've ever seen from a murder suspect who hasn't even been arraigned yet … a campaign website!  Last week a listener sent in a tip about former South Carolina resident Lee Gilley, who is facing a Capital Murder charge in Houston, Texas, in the October 2024 death of his wife, Christa Bauer and their unborn child. A website had been published about Lee and his life as an apparently flawless human being incapable of murder. It's yet another brazen move from an entitled good ole boy who thinks the normal procedures of the justice system don't apply to him.  Also on the show, a follow-up on the YouTube creator who is being sued by JP Miller. Plus, updates on Bowen Turner's alleged parole violations and Buster Murdaugh's defamation case. Plus, we'll update you on the latest in the Peter J. Strauss case who's sentencing is set for 2pm on February 20th in Charleston.  Let's dive in...

It's FOIA around and find out time again on True Sunlight Podcast! True Sunlight Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell unpack the latest round of records reporter Beth Braden received from Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill's emails. In the stack of documents, Beth found memos from SLED outlining interviews with Alex Murdaugh's siblings after Alex was finally charged with Maggie's and Paul's murders in the summer of 2022. Turns out there was a bloody towel found in the house the morning after the murders that no one knew about. Sorry, no one other than Lynn Murdaugh, Alex's older sister. I know, right? Also on today's show, Mandy and Liz do a deeper dive on a piece of evidence in the Stephen Smith case — his little yellow car that was found on the side of the road. Plus an update on Peter J. Strauss, the suspended attorney we told you about in Season 2, Episode 29, who might hold answers to the big question: Did Alex money stash money off-shore?
