A capital murder charge has been filed against 38-year-old Lee Mongerson Gilley in connection with the death of his wife, Christa Gilley.

The woman was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, but doctors determined the trauma to her face and body she suffered was inconsistent with CPR. Christa reportedly had bruising and apparent trauma to her face.

According to the documents, both the doctor and medical examiner declared the injuries were consistent with strangulation. Prosecutors said Gilley's wife was eight weeks pregnant at the time of her death, which was ruled as a homicide.

No Bond. Can't believe he even had the nerve to ask.

"I'd like a bond today," Lee Gilley told the magistrate early Saturday morning during probable cause court.


"I understand that," the magistrate said. "I'm not setting a bond today."

She told Lee Gilley he would have to wait until Monday for his hearing in front of the district court judge handling his case.

On Monday, the district court judge also declined to set a bond for him.

Lee Gilley will return to court on Thursday, where his bond will be further discussed, and a judge will decide whether he can contact the couple's other two children.

What a disturbing and tragic (yet all-too- familiar) case. Beautiful young mother, carrying another precious life - she should have been enjoying the happiest years of her life. Instead she and her unborn child met their demise allegedly by the one who should have been their ultimate earthly protector. Disgusts me beyond words.

I hope he will not be allowed bond Thursday and that he won't be granted any visitation with the surviving children. In this situation I could see him attempting to lie to the children further traumatizing them..

I wonder if he can be charged for the baby's death too?

All MOO
