Always The Husband (Texas Edition) | The Murders of Suzanne Simpson & Christa Gilley

Timestamp to skip the intro chat - (6:51)

According to the Bureau of Justice, the percentage of women murdered by an intimate partner is 5 times higher than it is for men. Of the estimated 4,970 female homicide victims in 2021, 34% were killed by an intimate partner.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two separate cases where women have allegedly been murdered by their husbands.

Texas realtor and mother-of-four, Suzanne Simpson was last seen arguing with her husband Brad on the night of October 6, 2024. A neighbor reported hearing screams following the fight. Hours later, Brad purchased two bags of cement, a construction bucket with a lid, 32 trash bags and bleach. Police believe he killed Suzanne and dismembered and disposed of her body. Brad has been arrested and charged with murder, unlawful restraint, assault, tampering with evidence and possession of a prohibited weapon. Suzanne remains missing.
On October 7, 2024, Lee Gilley called 911 and said his pregnant wife Christa intentionally overdosed in an attempt to kill herself. Christa was taken to the hospital where she passed away. Doctors discovered that Christa’s injuries were not consistent with Lee’s story. An investigation determined that Christa had been strangled to death. Lee was arrested and charged with capital murder. In the weeks leading up to her death, Lee was engaging with online content about traditional gender roles and the belief that women should stay at home instead of having their own careers.
