Bonus 1 | The Gilgo Beach Murders Update

Motion to Gossip 1 | Murdaugh Overturn, Kouri Richins & Reality TV

Welcome to the first Motion to Gossip, our new bonus series where we get to be a little less structured and a lot more chatty. We do touch on some true crime updates in this episode, including Alex Murdaugh and Kouri Richins, but we also go wildly off course into pop culture, bad spending habits, reality TV, and whatever random thoughts show up along the way. If you’re here for the tangents, this series is for you. We’re so happy you’re here.

7 | Gail Spencer: The Trust They Used Against Her

In this episode, Ally covers the murder of Gail Spencer, a 58-year-old mother, grandmother, sister, and longtime legal secretary in Macon, Georgia. When Gail’s neighbors noticed something small but strange outside her home, it led police into a scene that immediately felt off: a cold house, lights still on, Gail’s car missing, and Gail found dead inside. What first looked like a confusing death investigation quickly unraveled into a shocking workplace betrayal involving trust, greed, a law firm, and a scheme to steal just under $1.3 million.
