Lee Gilley was awaiting trial for the capital murder of his pregnant wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, when prosecutors say he cut off his ankle monitor, fled the country using forged documents, and sought asylum in Italy. Now, an Italian appeals court has temporarily blocked his extradition over concerns that he could face the death penalty or life without parole in Texas.
Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

A stagnant long-term marriage comes to a shocking end when one member of the couple is murdered in their own home. But was the killer the spouse, the wife’s lover, or any of the husband’s mistresses? Phone records eventually put a private eye of murky ethics on the investigator’s radar and revealed a villain so unhinged that they draw comparisons to the movie Fatal Attraction.

To friends and neighbors, Bob and Sherry Durall looked like a busy, happily married couple raising three children in the suburbs of Seattle. Behind the image of family, faith and stability, however, was a darker story - one that would lead detectives into the strange new world of internet dating and digital breadcrumbs that would lead to an arrest.

In this episode of Love Murder Current Affairs, in Bellevue, Washington, software engineer Avinash Narne has been charged with murdering his wife, Raajitha Sabbineni, eight months after he reported finding her unresponsive behind a locked bathroom door — an arranged marriage that lasted four months, and phone records that revealed another woman. In Las Vegas, grand jury testimony has laid out new details in the killing of Amanda Frias Rosas and her husband Victor, shot by Amanda's ex-husband at the grocery store where they worked — on their son's twelfth birthday, with custody papers left tucked in her arm. Jessie and Andie trace both cases as they unfolded in the news this week.
Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
