True Sunlight TSP #96 - ‘Hired Hitman’ Arrest and New Witnesses in Solomon Cases + Overlooked Evidence in Scott Spivey Shooting?
It’s been a week filled with breaking news and, as usual, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are on it, starting with the arrest of Grant Solomon’s mother. Grant was 18 years old when he was killed outside of Nashville under mysterious circumstances (and with his father, former news anchor Aaron Solomon, nearby). In the years since his death, Grant’s mother has fought for law enforcement to take another look at her son’s case and sought for protection for her daughter, who accused Aaron of sexual abuse.
This past Friday, Angie Solomon was arrested and charged with attempting to hire a hitman to kill Aaron. Mandy and Liz break down what happened and why the accusations seem … off.
Plus, reporter Beth Braden learns that two new witnesses to Grant’s death came forward last spring and what they had to say is interesting.
Also on the show, Jane Doe No. 1 stands up to Myrtle Beach Pastor John-Paul Miller’s legal bullying.
Plus a shocking (overlooked?) piece of evidence in the Scott Spivey case … no really, it’s wild.
