TX-Heights, Huston, Gilley, Crista. 8 Weeks Pregnant. Hubs says OD, Cops say Capital Murder

[borndem]

He's a real prize.
Maybe she said she wanted to separate or divorce during the argument he admits happened and it escalated from there. JMO.

That's a good probability, 'Birds.
Such a tragedy.
He is in Big Trouble, IMO.

 

[borndem]

Yep.

Trying and (fortunately) failing to force a successful professional, professor and mother into a narrow trad box, then attacking and murdering her when she rightly refused.

I don't understand the desire to possess and control others. So much damage is done by this ugly trait, unjustly associated with certain forms of success as it increasingly seems to be.

Here's hoping he does not, if convicted, join the pantheon of misogynist martyrs.

bbm
As long as he does it in the slammer, it's fine with me. Grrrr.

This could explain a lot.

Chilling views of husband 'who murdered pregnant wife '

Lee Gilley, 38, allegedly suffocated his wife Christa, 38, on October 7 before telling police that she had tried to kill herself with an overdose in their Houston, Texas , home.

www.dailymail.co.uk

A software developer accused of strangling his pregnant wife had a history of troubling social media activity leading up to the alleged murder.

A source who knows Lee since childhood told DailyMail.com that over the last years he had become fixated with right-wing politics and the idea that women should stay at home to take care of their families - even though Christa was a successful physical therapist and professor.

'This obviously seems at odds with being married to a woman with a doctorate, two kids, and a full time job,' the source said.

Lee's LinkedIn account shows that he repeatedly liked posts saying women should have a traditional role in the home instead of developing professional careers.

Words fail. Such a jerk, deciding to kill his wife when she didn’t conform to his twisted idea of how women should behave.

“Christa’s family remains focused on remembering Christa as a kind, welcoming, and selfless mother, friend, and daughter. We are deeply disappointed that the Defendant made bond just a week after Christa’s death, but we are focused on the safety and well being of Christa’s children. Christa’s family and loved ones want what is best for her children and support law enforcement’s efforts to bring justice for Christa and her unborn child.”

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

All MOO

In Iowa, the charge is called "nonconsensual termination of a human pregnancy."

I haven't read the entire thread yet, so maybe this has been addressed, but did they know she was pregnant?

I'm halfway hoping that he turned out to have a brain tumor, or something else that might have caused this kind of aberrant behavior. (Maybe she said something like, "You want a 'tradwife'? Go out and find one, and don't let the door hit your butt on the way out."
