A Texas man accused of killing his pregnant wife allegedly cut off his court-ordered ankle monitor, fled the country and attempted to enter Italy using forged travel documents, just weeks before he was set to stand trial, authorities say.
Lee Gilley, 39, had been scheduled to stand trial later this month on a capital murder charge in the slaying of his wife, Christa Gilley, who was found dead in their Houston home in October 2024.
