Key takeaway During a Harris County family court hearing, it was revealed that someone has taken possession of the couple's former home in the Heights.
A recent development has emerged in the case of Lee Gilley, who allegedly murdered his wife Christa Bauer before fleeing to Italy. During a Harris County family court hearing, it was revealed that someone has taken possession of the couple's former home in the Heights. Christa Bauer's father, Chris Bauer, testified that he visited the property and found it appeared to be occupied, with blinds closed and no trespassing notices posted.
This was a change from his previous visit, when the property seemed empty. Further details on this development are available from Click2Houston, including the latest on the ongoing legal disputes and extradition efforts.
