A lot of details have now come out about the murder of Lea Gray including how she was killed:
The wife of an Army captain accused of killing her had a stormy relationship with him, considered him “boring,” and was keeping up a round of extra-marital affairs in the period leading up to her death, according to testimony Monday at a pretrial hearing in the case.
Capt. Christopher Gray is charged in the death of Lea Gray, 27, whose badly decomposed body was found in a fetal position May 9 in an area of bushes just a few feet from a roadside in Waegwan.
She was fully clothed and tests showed no evidence of sexual assault.
The pretrial hearing, known as an Article 32 proceeding, opened Monday at Camp Henry and was to resume Tuesday. It will be up to the hearing officer to recommend whether the evidence warrants moving the case to trial.
According to Monday’s testimony, Lea Gray died from a chemical called diphenhydramine, an antihistamine which was found in her body at a toxic level. A second substance, acetaminophen, also was present at a toxic level. [Stars & Stripes]
She is obviously no saint but that is still no reason to kill her. The hearing also disclosed there is plenty of evidence to bring CPT Gray to trial:
His alleged purchases April 8 included boxes of medication, including one that induces sleep; duct tape, latex gloves, an enema kit, a boning knife, solid moss green kitchen towels, a blue plastic tarp, and “lawn and leaf” bags.
An Army Criminal Investigation Command agent testified that a search of Christopher Gray’s computers turned up various key words that had been typed into a search engine several days before those purchases, including: “how to tie up a person without leaving marks”; “over the counter suicide drugs”; “self-induced asphyxiation”; “accidental death”; “identifying body parts”; “soluble pills”; and “woman charged with killing husband with enema.”"
Prosecution witnesses testified that an elevator camera showed Christopher Gray getting on at the fifth floor — where the couple lived — and carrying a large suitcase, at the time authorities believe she disappeared. During the same critical period, road cameras at several points along the Daegu-Waegwan highway system recorded Christopher Gray’s vehicle on the road late at night, according to testimony.
If all this evidence is true it looks like the defense team has their work cut out for them.

I posted everything in this article at the onset of this case for others to read, but I guess the monitor thought is was fictitious. Just to let you know – people who read and respond to these post aren't always crazy……..

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but military prosecutors are required to coordinate not only for their own expert witnesses, but also for those of the defense. Without the defense having access to independent expert witnesses, the defending attorneys can move to have the evidence suppressed when the case finally goes to trial.
