194: Newlyweds&Anthony Gray - a podcast by Lets Go To Court!

Hold onto your hats, because Kristin starts us off with a doozy. When investigators arrived at the home of James and Vivian Gray, they didn’t do a great job. They invited randos to help clean up the crime scene where the couple had been shot. Then, when they left, they handed the scene off to the crime’s main suspect -- the couple’s adult son, Anthony Gray. 

Then Brandi tells us about Cody Johnson, who at 25, was thrilled to be marrying the love of his life, Jordan Graham. But Jordan wasn’t so happy. In fact, as she walked down the aisle, she cried and shook her head. Attendees might have written Jordan’s behavior off as nerves, but she later confided in a friend that she wasn’t happy. She was especially nervous about Cody’s desire to consummate their marriage. Not long after their wedding, Cody went missing. 

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
