A Texas man has been accused of killing his wife, who was pregnant at the time of her death, while their other young children were reportedly home. Authorities say Lee Mongerson Gilley, 38, allegedly strangled his wife, 38-year-old Christa Bauer Gilley, to death at their home in Houston on Oct. 7, killing both her and their unborn child. 'The circumstances have been nothing short of gut-wrenching,' friends of Christa wrote on a fundraising page on behalf of her family.
'It's a mischaracterization of comments that were made before criminal charges were ever even filed, before any warrant was ever even issued, when he was considering trying to go visit his parents and his children's grandparents at the family home in South Carolina,' McClees added. 'He was never intending to flee… he's been abiding by every bond condition that's been given to him.
