Wife Hires Hitman To Kill Husband SLOWLY After Daughter Says He SA’d Her As a Baby

Bada bing, bada boom. >> If there ever is a book written about. overdone tropes, this is going to be on. the first page. Housewife [music]. in a small southern town, PTA mom to two. kids. She is going to meet up with a. hitman, a contract killer. In between. picking up new socks for her kids track. meat to like cutting the crust off of. the uncrustable sandwich, which is like. a logic defying choice, she is going to. make time to sit down with a hitman. If.

this were set in Nantucket, Nicole. Kidman is going to be playing the lead. role. But this is not Nantucket and this. is not Nicole Kidman and this is not a. freaking act. April 11th, 2025, Angelia. Solomon, aka Angie, she's pulling up to. this parking lot. It's called the Cool. Springs Mall. It's one of those giant. beige colored buildings. You're smacking. a cheesecake factory on there, a. California pizza kitchen. It's basically. the American suburban dream in one giant.

personalityless shopping plaza. But that. is completely besides the point because. Angie is pulling up in her car and the. instructions are crystal clear. Park a. few cars away. Easy. Done. [music] Got. it. Then you walk over to the car. the. car with the hitman, the hit car, whatever you want to call it. I mean, this is too easy, [music] right? Open. the passenger door. Get in the front. This is the front. Get in the front. passenger door. Do not look behind you. Do not look around. Do not glance. towards the back seat. Keep your head.

facing forward. Act normal and just. talk. The hitman is in the back seat, and this is how you're going to. communicate without seeing his face, without shaking his hand on the count of. like 1 2 3 deal. You're just going to. stare straight ahead into the Macy's. entrance while you tell the hitman. exactly why you need your ex-husband. dead. Both Angie Solomon and this man, they have a reason to be hiding in this. Macy's parking lot. They are talking to. each other for the very first time. without even making eye contact. And. Angie asks him, "Have you done this.

before? I'm not talking about what I've. done before." And she's just nervous. giggling. She's like cackling. She. sounds like a housewife and he sounds. like a hitman. >> You heard it? Yeah, I'm just intrigued. And she's just like, "Okay, it's nervous. laughter.". >> Oh, you're just with your eyes. I mean, that's a stupid question. >> I mean, there there's trust going both. ways here. That's why we're sitting in. the middle of the parking lot. Okay. >> Okay. So, she's like straight to. business. I see. You know, they're both. here to take someone down. They're not.

here to make small talk. Angie gives the. backseat guy, backseat boy, backseat. killer, whatever you want to call him, the whole rundown. I mean, the Spark. Notes version is he belongs in prison or. he belongs underground. That's a direct. quote. The slightly longer version is. this. Angie has two kids with her. ex-husband, Grant Solomon and Gracie. Solomon. Angie states that she has known. that her husband, her ex-husband, has. been abusing their daughter since she. was 5 years old. She claims that Gracie. allegedly told her one day that her.

father puts things up inside of her. during bath time and once it was a soap. bar and it was absolutely painful. [music] Angie's horrified. She states. that when she confronts her husband. about it, Aaron, he admits to it, but he. also allegedly tells her, "If you tell. anyone, I'm just going to take the kids. away from you. What are you going to do. about it? What are you supposed to do. for a threat like that?" Aaron Solomon, the ex-husband, is a well-known, wellrespected local news anchor. He's on. the local TV news channel, and she's. she's Angie. If people don't believe.

her, then her kids are going to be taken. from her, and Gracie will be under. Aaron's full control. So, Angie, she. just has to find a different way. She. sends an email to her psychiatrist, Dr. Reed, [music] and she's talking about. her daughter. My daughter would beg to. not be bathed, and I didn't see the. signs. Did I miss all the signs? She. claims ever since then, she has been. trying to get the kids away from Aaron. from I mean, at least 2013, right? She. was trying to slowly escape. She was. taking detailed notes of abuse on her. phone. Then one day, she's rushing out.

the door to pick up the kids from. school. She's [music] in the car. She's. passing by the gas station and she. realizes, I left my phone at home. So. then she books it, you turns it back all. the way back home and she's freaking. out. She runs inside and Aaron has the. phone just suspended over the toilet and. allegedly he tells her, "I told you what. would happen if you ever talked to. anyone [music] about what's going on in. this house." He saw her little notes app. with all the logs of the detailed abuse. >> since 2013. >> And he Yes. Well, it was prior to 2013. This happens in 2013.

>> Wo. And he drops her phone into the. toilet. Straight into the toilet. Just. destroying all the evidence. This is. what Angie says. And he tells her, "You. know what that means now, right? You're. never going to see the kids again." 3. weeks later, in the middle of the night, kids are gone. Aaron [music] is gone. And now Angie is many years later. This. is in 2025. She is sitting in the car. with a hitman. She sounds like she's. half laughing. She sounds like she's. half crying. And she asks, "You're.

trustworthy, right?" Is that a stupid. question? Mind you, this is still a. Macy's parking lot. Mr. Backseat. Assassin responds, "I mean, there's. trust going both ways here. That's why. we're sitting in the middle of a parking. lot." Okay. >> Yeah. I just don't know. And I know you. don't want to meet me and I don't want. to know. >> The only contact we have is through. Steve here. That's that's all I want. >> That's. perfect. You're not recording marriage. things. Trust me. >> Angie giggles kind of nervously. I would. be worried about you doing that before.

me because it could be it for me. Angie. says, "I'm just a very naive person, but. I'm I'm just catching a big leap right. here." Yeah, it's a big leap, but like I. said, you're not going to see me ever. again. Which seems to be exactly what. Angie needs to hear because she starts. telling him her ex-husband's work. schedule, his workout routine schedule, his gym schedule, where he works, his. address, how his back gate has a gaping. hole in the back that he can probably. crawl through. And Angie wonders, "So, this can't be traced back to me, right? That's why we're going through this now. After you get out of here, you're never.

going to see me again. [music] Angie. asked the backseat guy. Are you mean? >> Am I mean? I can be mean. >> You want me to be mean? >> She nods. Okay, I can be mean. You know, he thinks he's about 5'8 with shoes on. and he thinks he's God. Okay, so slow is. better than quick. Yes, he's a. psychopath. I had a psychiatrist. watching in court and you know the way. his mannerisms and everything. He's a. psychopath. We all know what they are.

You know, my daughter says he's like in. between Jeffrey Dawnmer and um I forget. the other one. She forgets the name of. the other serial killer that is being. referenced, but it's not important right. now. The important part is, is this. going to happen or not? Is her. ex-husband going to be dead or not? The. backseat man asks Angie, "Well, they're. going to talk to you. You're his. ex-wife, and you better not say nothing. You hear me?" Angie assures him she's. ready to move on with her life. This is. about making sure that her daughter is. safe. However, she has no money. What?

>> What? >> How long was this interaction in the. car? >> 30 minutes. >> 30 minutes. >> Well, I was wondering because I don't. have I don't have anything to pay right. now, but I would later. What do you mean. you would later? You got life insurance. on him or anything? Angie explains, "No, it's not life insurance per se, but he. has a trust that would go to his. daughter, their daughter, when he dies, you know, and that's probably like a few. million dollars, but as of right now, Angie doesn't have anything to give Mr.

Backseat Man." And he says, "Well, give. me your car registration as collateral.". So, she's reassuring him that once she. gets the trust, she's going to pay him. back double than what he's asking. So, instead of $5,000, she's going to pay. him $10,000. She hands over her car. registration, and I guess that's enough. for the hitman. He finally asks her, "You understand though that I'm not. going to see you again. We will be going. through a third party and you know that. You understand that when you get out of. bed this next time in the morning, your. husband is going to be dead and he ain't.

coming back. You understand that, right? He will be dead and disappear." Angie. starts crying before she agrees. However, a few things from this. conversation are just flatout false. lies. Such as by morning time tomorrow, Aaron Solomon would not be dead. [music]. And the two of them, Mr. Backseat Man. and Angie, they will see each other. again. And this time, they do get to. look at each other. Not that it makes it. any less awkward. In fact, Mr. Backseat. Man suddenly does not appreciate eye.

contact. He does not want to look Angie. in the eye, even though they're sitting. so close facing each other directly. Or. maybe the awkwardness is coming from the. fact that they're sitting in a room full. of people staring at each other while. the entire conversation that they had in. the car about killing Aaron Solomon has. been recorded and has been playing on. the speakers in a courtroom where Aaron. Solomon is sitting in the back. >> So this guy is a cop or is he a actual. hitman that also got caught? >> The prosecutor asks him, "And what was. your role?" I was informed that my role.

would be to go undercover and portray. myself as a hitman for hire. Mr. Backseat Man is not a hitman. He is. an undercover agent. [music]. And Angie Solomon has now been arrested. for a murder for hire charge. The. Solomon family consists of four people. [music] Aaron Solomon the dad, Angie. Solomon, the mom, Gran Solomon the son, and Gracie Solomon the daughter. By. 2025, Aaron Solomon will be accused of.

being part of a large-scale high-powered. trafficking ring involving the governor. of Tennessee and a megaurch pastor, including being accused of trafficking. his own daughter into this trafficking. [music] ring. Angie Solomon, the mom, will be arrested for trying to kill her. ex-husband. Grant Solomon, the son, will. be dead. [music] and Gracie Solomon, the. daughter, will post a video expose on. YouTube exposing her entire family and. accusing her dad of killing her older. brother, Grant. This is the case of the.

Solomons, where it's pretty clear that. at least one of the Solomons is lying. We just don't know which one. >> [music].

>> We would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for Rotten. Mango to support the Georgia Mountain. Food Bank. Now more than ever, with SNAP. benefits having been paused and the. holidays coming up, their work to end. hunger can be life-saving. This. episode's partnerships have also made it. possible to support Rotten Mango's. growing team. And we'd also like to. thank you guys for your continued. support as we work on our mission to be. worthy advocates. As always, full show. notes are available at. rottenopodcast.com. A few disclaimers. There are allegations. of DV, childhood essay, incestuous. abuse, so please protect yourself if.

this is something that will be. triggering. Today's case is also. complicated. It's a situation where. everyone, even strangers on the. internet, including ourselves, everyone's picking a side and they're. sticking to that side. As always, we try. our best as a team to not pick a side, no matter how tempting it is. But. today's case in particular is very. messy. There are a lot of accusations. They have not been legally proven in. court. But just because it hasn't been. legally proven doesn't mean it can't be. true. But for the purpose of not. needlessly receiving a seasoned desist, which tends to make me more passionate.

regardless. But still, we are going to. do our absolute best to just compile and. aggregate the allegations made online, netizen opinions, and even conspiracy. theories so that you can come to your. own personal opinion on this case. Any. alternate theories, opinions, and. accusations are those of netzens I found. online or from the people directly. involved. Everything is publicly. available. They are not representative. of our own opinions regarding this case. A small disclaimer here. any annotations. made in any sort of document was done by.

the original uploader of the document. So, more often than not, Angie or. someone from Angie's side has been. posting screenshots of medical reports. or screenshots of court documents and. there's a lot of annotations and. highlights and question marks next to. things that was not done by the RM team. That was just done by the original. poster. Moreover, we cannot even tell. you if that these are accurate. screenshots of court documents. Tennessee is very tricky in the sense. that we have had to jump through a lot. of loopholes. Tennessee is a state, if. you live in Tennessee. We need help in. Tennessee. Okay, Tennessee is the one.

state where every time we put in a foyer. request, it's it's going to be weeks of. just no, no, no, no, no. And I feel like. I'm harassing court clerks in Tennessee. at this point. So, if you guys have any. sort of advice from Tennessee residents, please let me know in the comments. It's. been intense. So there's no way that we. can even cross reference or really check. for these documents for their accuracy. And even then, I think it would be. useless in this situation as there has. not really been an open criminal.

investigation until this year. And that. is for the murder for higher plot. All. of the other things, they happened in. family court, which a lot of those times. those are not public information. >> And since we're covering all of our. basis, I have no idea and I have no way. of confirming all of that, just just so. you know. and sometimes they can be. taken out of context. And another thing. with this case is every single point has. been disputed by both sides. If you were. to put the two main parties involved, Angie Solomon and Aaron Solomon into a.

room and told them to agree on the color. of the sky, you would have to bring in a. pea bucket in sleeping bags because. neither of them would be leaving that. room. Like they just cannot agree on a. simple 2 plus 2 equals 4. Just to give. you an idea, Angie has claimed that. Aaron has filed multiple bankruptcies on. an Instagram account that Aaron accuses. Angie of running, which she denies. Even. that is contentious. Then Aaron denies. filing multiple bankruptcies. Then he. goes back and says, "I only filed for. one, but that was also with Angie and I.

had to file it because we were married. and she was spending all the money." So. it's like every little thing they have. to be like, "No, that's not true. No, that's not true." So, it's a lot of back. and forth and like a lot of very nasty. divorces, custody battles, it's going to. get very, very contentious and heated. So, with that being said, let's get into. it. May 12th, [music] 2021, a video goes. live on YouTube and you just see a. 14-year-old girl holding a stack of. papers and she's kind of on one of those.

swivel armchairs and there's a lot of. background music that is very loud and. she starts by saying, "My name is Gracie. Solomon. I'm 14 years old and I'm here. to tell my story.". >> I just want to say before we get into. any of this that it's [music] coming. straight from me. It's all me and no one. else wants to. A lot of people point out. that throughout the video she'll. periodically look off the camera. So, you know, it seems maybe someone is. there as emotional support or if you. want to be very skeptical, maybe someone. is telling her exactly what to do, which.

she states in the video, "No one is. telling me what to do. My father is a. monster. It makes me want to vomit. I. found my voice to be able to tell you. that my father has rworded me, hurt me, and I'm not going to be a victim of this. monster. >> He's a rapist. He's a molester. [music]. He's a liar. And he's a killer. I hate. my dad. I'm absolutely terrified of him. for everything he [music] has done to. me, my brother, and my mom. I don't want. to call him my dad anymore. >> He's never listen to me. He has hurt me. sexually, physically, mentally. He has. caused so much pain for my family. He.

has tried to manipulate me and has. manipulated others and has hurt me ever. since I was born. My dad has done awful. things to me. First, he never let my mom. bathe me. It was always him. So, by not. letting my mom come in at all, it meant. that he could do anything to me. I would. always tell my mom that I felt like I. was more of a wife to him instead of a. daughter. [music and snorts] He would. always bring his phone into the bathroom. with him. At the time, I didn't know it, but I strongly believe that he was. taking pictures and videos. [music] I. learned how to hide my body for him from. him by covering by flipping my hair over. because he wouldn't leave me alone while.

I was showering or getting out. He is a. sick person. He even tries to convince. me that I'm being brainwashed by my mom. and everything I remember never. happened. He tries to scare me into. thinking my mom's house is unsafe. He. knows how scared I am of robberies and. kidnapping or getting taken from my mom. In fact, he took me away from my mom for. years when I was just ending my. kindergarten year. Later on, he told me. that I was never going to go back to my. mom and that she was actually dead. [music] I don't remember when I found. out that my mom was alive, but I know.

Grant, my brother, [music] and I both. believe she was dead for years because. of my dad. She states that even when. they were a family unit, it wasn't. great. Gracie says that the dad was. always constantly trying to kill the. mom, Angie. This video itself is. uploaded on YouTube and it doesn't. particularly go viral on a national. level, but it has 181,000 views and. everyone in Franklin, Tennessee, has. probably seen this video. Aaron Solomon, Gracie's dad, is somewhat of a local.

celebrity. He used to be a news anchor. for the local channel, Channel 4. Everyone knows him. Everyone seems to. know this element. In the video, Gracie. talks about how she had to go out of. town for a baseball game for her older. brother, Grant, and she went with her. dad. He ends up booking a hotel room for. her and him with just one bed. We. stopped at a hotel room in Asheville. My. dad only got one bed when I asked for. two. It made me really nervous before we even. got in a hotel room. When we went to.

bed, I remember him slowly getting. closer to me until I was on the edge of. the bed. I kept waking up and feeling. his feet rub against mine. >> I kept waking up and then I finally. realized that something hard was on my. lower back close to my butt. I felt. really scared and I knew it was wrong. At court, Dad's attorney got inches away. from my face and tried to manipulate me. into thinking that what my dad did. didn't really happen by saying, "Do you. really think your dad would do something. like that? Do you actually remember that. happening? He was so close to me that I. could smell his cigarette breath on him.

and his tongue really scared me." Gracie. alleges in this YouTube video that it's. not just her being victimized, it's. everyone. So, this is just like a. 14-minute video of an expose of like, let me tell you everything that's. happened between my family and. everything that my dad has been doing. ever since I was young. So, it's not. necessarily in a chronological fashion, but it's just like a very explosive. point by point all of the big things of. why she's scared of her father. She says. it's not just me. She states that her. dad would come to these high school.

games, sports games, because he used to. be a sports newscaster. He's very much. into sports. And he would film up the. kids, the teenage girls homecoming court. dresses. That's what she alleges. She. says, "It makes me sick seeing him or. talking about him. I haven't been able. to go to school because of how scared of. him I am." Ultimately, Gracie states at. the end of her video the only thing that. she wishes really is for quote, "I want. my dad gone." Is there like context on. this? Did she just post this and then.

cuz that's crazy allegation. Is there. police investigation or. >> So she posts this video and this video. in particular does not blow up. But. previously for years before this video. goes up on YouTube. There were multiple. I guess depending on what state you live. in defax department of child services. DCS or CPS child protection services. They have had multiple open. investigations against Aaron Solomon and. all of them have come up with nothing.

Whether that means that he is innocent. of these allegations or whether he's. just really good at not getting caught, I think that is up for debate. >> H So she posts this and that's it. No, no police involvement, nothing nothing. going on. >> She posts this and then Angie starts. reaching out to a lot of true crime. creators. At this point, a lot of people. were familiar with the Solomons because. something had happened the year prior, but it it just seems like this was a big. open door. This is when national. attention starts getting involved.

They're going on NewsNation. They have a. whole website. They have GoFundMes that. have raised close to $200,000. They have. a lot of eyeballs on them. This video. itself, for some reason, does not get a. lot of attention, but all of these. allegations are starting to spread. >> Zoot becomes a big conversation online. Where are the cops? Where are the the. officials? >> They're not doing anything. >> Yeah, >> that's so weird. >> They're not doing anything. >> Before you even sit down for the first.

couple's therapy session, the therapist. is already figuring out just gathering. intel on the relationship dynamic. And. it starts in the waiting room. Sometimes. some therapists will even say that. they'll check the cameras in the waiting. room just to get a little vibe, especially if it's their first time. seeing the couple. How much space is in. between the couple? Obviously, the. surface level observation would be the. further apart a couple, the more they. hate each other. But it's actually more. than that. Therapists have noted it's. about attachment style. If the couple is. physically further apart, it could mean. that one of them has avoidant attachment.

styles. They would rather run away from. the problem than face it. Or they're in. a stage of extreme emotional withdrawal, which is also very difficult. Clearly, couples who are in their own worlds on. their own phones separately, not great. But also, here's an interesting thing. If you see a couple and they're both. zoning out or staring off into space, but they're staring off in different. directions. >> Mhm. >> Could also mean that they're not in. sync. One's looking left, one's looking. right. Or even timing. Do the couples. come in together in one car? Or maybe. they can't because of work or other.

obligations. Do they come in separately? That's fine. But if the couple regularly. one person arrives early or on time and. the other person is consistently late, big red flag. Maybe it's work, but is it. really? Or it could indicate that they. don't want to be here. They feel tension. and resentment that they even have to. show up to couples therapy. In. relationships in distress, couples move. independently. [music]. They say it's like a coordinated dance. Every couple the way you open a door, you go into the therapy office,

therapist is sitting down and you look. at the selection of seating available. And usually the couples who will end up. working out, they do a polite little. song and dance. Even if they hate each. other in the moment, would you like the. chair or do you want to Oh, I think. maybe we should [music] do the couch. >> It's like a very awkward. Okay, well, whatever you like. Yeah, it's fine. >> These are according to therapists. >> Yes. But couples who do not care for. each other, they just plop down wherever. they want. They don't ask. There's no.

courtesy. There's no like, "What do you. want to do? Maybe we should both decide. together. Maybe we should both sit. together." Not that they have many. choices. Couple therapists have stated. that they will intentionally seat. couples at a 90° angle. Can you guess. why? Sometimes it's side by side on a. couch. Sometimes it's one on the couch. and one on a sofa facing the other way. >> Why? they want them to. >> It's the best for eye contact. >> You can choose the level of eye contact.

You can look at your partner to connect. or you can look away when you feel you. need emotional space without it being so. obvious, without it feeling. confrontational, like I can't even look. at you right now. >> It feels more natural. And a lot of. these sessions are filled with. confrontation. One therapist says, "I. saw a couple that was doing retalatory. cheating. They were just cheating on. each other and then telling each other. about it and then the other person would. get mad and then cheat on them and then. tell each other about it. When they got. through their anger, they decided to.

call it a truce. They waved the white. flag and made peace. With their level of. emotional maturity, I doubt it lasted. long, but they stopped seeing me. So, I. don't know if I helped them or prolonged. their suffering. I don't know. Another. couple's therapist said, "I saw a couple. in the office because the husband. greeted the dog before her when he came. home from work, and that's why they. started couples therapy. But it's. actually a very symbolic problem of. something greater, you know, a bigger. underlying issue. >> Every [clears throat] day he'd come home. from work and he would pet the dog first. before he said hi to his wife. Kind of. like the couple that wanted to divorce.

because the wife, she likes to cut her. sandwiches diagonally. The husband when. he makes the sandwiches, he cuts them. straight in half. They literally come to. couples therapy for this and people. think they're crazy. Like, what do you. mean just cut the sandwiches? But this. is a symbolic gesture of the fact that. the husband is unwilling to do something. so simple for his wife. Another Redditor writes, "I have a. friend who's a marriage counselor, and. basically half his job is just helping. two people who hate each other come to. the conclusion that it's okay to.

divorce. That's it." Also, couple. therapy is like a wrestling match. These. couples, some of them go in there with. the sole intention. >> to win. >> I'm I'm here to win. >> And who am I winning? >> The therapist. They're going to tell me. that I'm right and that my partner is. wrong. I'm in it toing win it. Welcome. to couples therapy. But whatever happens. in therapy sessions, I mean, it. typically does not warrant one spouse. trying to kill the other spouse in a.

slow, painful, long manner via a hitman. in a Macy's parking lot, right? Maybe. Dr. Fatrell has been a psychiatrist. probably longer than most of us have. been alive. She's been in practice since. 1993. Interestingly, she specializes in child. and adolescent psychiatry. But when. Grant is 6 years old, Gracie is 2 years. old. Angie ends up in Dr. Fertrell's. office and she claims that Aaron has. been abusively violating her since she.

gave birth to Grant. And the final straw. was she was going through his stuff and. she allegedly discovers that Aaron has. been cheating on her with workers, but. more alarmingly, he has been grooming. underage girls. It's not entirely clear. exactly how she finds out about this and. if she was able to collect any evidence. at this point. Not that it would matter. much because according to Angie, Aaron. would threaten her. If you ever tell. anyone about anything, I will make sure. you never see our kids again. Who is she even going to tell? According.

to Angie, Aaron barely lets her talk to. anybody, like anyone at all. She can't. even go to a haircut appointment by. herself to get a haircut because I don't. know, maybe he thinks that she's going. to go there and say something to the. stylist or even accidentally mention. something that would raise the alarms. Which means according to Angie that both. of them are now sitting in Dr. Fortnell's office because even these. psychiatrists therapy sessions, he's not. letting her go alone. And Angie's.

probably telling Dr. Fortnell everything. all the way from the beginning. She's. probably starting with her childhood. Not great. She says even as an adult, she had to file for an order of. protection against her own dad. So. clearly child life, family life, home. life, not great for Angie. And it's. always been bad. Probably worse when she. was a kid and living with them. Angie. says that she spent pretty much every. single waking hour of her life just. trying to become a basketball star for. her school team because she doesn't want. to go home. She doesn't want to focus on.

her own life. It's miserable. And then. she graduates and she decides maybe. basketball is not going to pay the. bills, so I'm going to be a pharmacist. She spends all of her energy focusing on. her own capabilities, such as [music]. pharmacy school, graduating, and then. becoming a pharmacist. And it's as a. pharmacist that she starts talking to. Aaron Solomon again. They knew each. other from high school. They're. rekindling their love and it's just like. a fast track to marriage. Okay, I will. say that rekindling is perhaps not like.

the exact word. Angie says in an. interview, quote, "Back in high school, Aaron saw me then and as I learned in my. counseling sessions, he was stalking. me." So, she claims that he was stalking. her when she was back in high school. We. don't really get more elaboration on. this, but she says, "You know, he was. stalking me." That would have been all. the way back in like 1988. I didn't hear. from him after that. I brushed him off. He continued to stalk me. Angie says. that she was kind of rude to him in high. school and she always regretted it. I.

mean, she didn't know what kind of. person he was back then, but she always. just kind of thought about it and she. decided as an adult maybe she would. reach out and apologize. And it was easy. to remember him from high school. considering that she would she would. turn on channel 4 and he's right there. morning anchor news like sports anchor. news. He's just right there on the TV. And she says that at that point she had. her own house, her own car. She manages. the pharmacy. So, she's not just a. pharmacist, she's managing other. pharmacists. She's living the She's got. two dogs, a good income. She's very.

happy, very well adjusted. Aaron Solomon. comes into her life and within 6 weeks. of dating, she's pregnant with their. first child, Grant, and suddenly getting. married in Vegas. She said she was very. excited to have a kid, though. She said. that she was very set on being a single. mom. But then both Aaron Solomon and her. own dad threatened her because they're. both very religious and they said that. she needs to be married before giving. birth. So they went to Vegas and they. got married which is when Angie says.

yeah everything starts falling apart. They get back, he moves into her house. and it's just like a hostile corporate. takeover. Aaron starts controlling the. finances. He doesn't let her go anywhere. without his approval and he has these. mood swings. She says that was just. unpredictable. She claims that he would. just go quiet for days and then out of. nowhere he would go into a fit of anger. where he would just berate her. constantly for the way she looks, for. her capabilities. He would just call her. crazy. And sometimes, according to. Angie, he would just straight up start.

physically attacking her, especially. once Gracie was born. Angie alleges to. her doctors that she found out that. Aaron was cheating on her and the. family. And he just tells her, "Yeah, well, I need to have two times a day, and that's completely normal." These are. disclosed by the doctor. >> These are disclosed by Angie. >> Oh, she said, "I told this to my. doctor.". >> Yeah. And I mean, obviously, it cannot. be disclosed by the doctor cuz that. would be a major HIPPO violation, but. Angie has posted some of some doctor's. reports.

>> Okay. >> But Angie claims that during her. sessions with Dr. Fortnell that Angie. was diagnosed with PTSD and Aaron was. diagnosed with a sex addiction. Do we. have the medical records? No. Did Dr. Fortnell tell us? No. In a lawsuit filed. by Aaron against Angie, so Solomon v. Solomon, he firmly denies being ever. diagnosed as [music] a sex addict, a. narcissist, a sociopath, or anything. else that he is being accused of. Even. when it comes to therapy, clearly one of.

them is lying about this. >> So when did Angie come out with all of. these information? Is it lately or this. was like 10 years ago? >> Lately. Yes. >> And when did the husband sue Angie, the. wife? >> Lately. Okay. So. >> this is before the whole murder plot. happened. Murder for higher plot. >> Maybe this will give you a better. continuity. In 2013, they have a very. contentious divorce. >> Custody primarily goes to Aaron. >> Yeah. >> And since 2013, Gracie has been fighting. to get the kids back. >> Yeah. >> They hate each other since 2013.

Probably for longer than that. And then. in 2020, Grant Solomon dies. And this kickstarts a very public. [music] round of accusations being. thrown out of whether or not Aaron. Solomon is involved in Grant Solomon's. death. >> And this is when everything comes to a. national scale. The allegations of. sexual abuse against Gracie have been. kind of spurring up before 2020, but. they really start blowing up around this.

time. >> after Grant Solomon's son died. >> Yes. And this is when Aaron Solomon sues. Angie Solomon for defamation. >> When did the daughter make the video. again? >> In 2021. >> And this lawsuit is more so recent. And. then in 2025, Angie was arrested for. trying to hire a hitman. >> Wow. >> So this is I mean more than. >> ongoing ongoing. Yeah. >> Wow. Every single person that you ask in.

Franklin, Tennessee, they seem to have a. very different idea, a different opinion. about who they think is the lying. Solomon. One of Gracie's friends who's. known Gracie since preK, she says, "Well, around the time that the custody. battle started, around that time, Gracie. gets sent to live with the dad." And. suddenly Gracie is not Gracie. Like, this is She just starts looking, according to Graciey's friend, quote, tired and began to be very skinny. I. noticed that her eyes were just puffy, but as a kid, I just kind of brushed her. off as allergies. I would also notice.

that she had several bruises and other. scratches and scrapes almost all the. time. I would ask her about this, and. the answer was always the same. I fell. on the ground. I have only ever been to. Aaron's house once, but when I was. there, I noticed some strange things. I. think we were in the second grade. Gracie had me over for a sleepover and I. noticed there were several dents and. other markings on the wall and that. Gracie was very nervous around her dad. As we grew older, Aaron would [music]. touch Gracie, even if it's just like. placing his hand on her shoulder, she.

would flinch a bit and I could just tell. that something was wrong. But as a kid, you didn't know that. >> That is crazy. >> Yeah. Meanwhile, Aaron argues this is. just not true. This is not true in the. slightest. and he states he should have. known that something like this was going. to happen. Aaron claims that when he and. Angie got into another one of their. arguments back in 2013, she said. something that he just should have known. the flags. She said, quote, and this is. according to Aaron, so this is alleged. as well. My first husband, I never told.

him I was going to divorce him, but I'm. telling you right now, I'm going to. divorce you. It was really weird. Aaron. thought it was weird, but then quote, "Not long after that, I noticed her. saying things and doing things that. looked like she was trying to make the. kids be on her side." He alleges she. would accuse him of abusing her in front. of the kids, like, "Oh, your dad hit. me.". >> Now, maybe she did, and maybe it's true, or maybe it's not true, and she's lying. to the kids. >> Mhm. He says that, for example, after a.

particularly brutal fight where he. claims that Angie was getting violent. with him, he leaves to help her. deescalate. Next morning, quote, she. said in front of the children that your. daddy left in the middle of the night to. go sleep with another woman. I said, "Angie, why are you saying that?" I. said, "Why are you saying that to the. kids?" Like, I said, "Do you want me to. tell them that I had to leave because. you were trying to attack me physically. and abuse me?" And she said, "I only did. that in self-defense.". So again, we don't know. It's just like.

couples therapy, but the worst version. ever, amplified by a thousand%. Both. Angie and Aaron have completely. different stories. It seems like both of. them want you to believe their version. You tell me which one makes more sense. Remember how Gracie claimed in her. YouTube video that Aaron would take up. pictures of the minors at homecoming of. their dresses? >> Well, Angie claims that Aaron has a. Snapchat, the username being who is it. 64? But [snorts] like why the hell does. he have a Snapchat? Angie claims like. >> Does he though?

>> It seems like it. It seems like from the. screenshots I've seen, it seems like he. has a but I don't know. I've never been. Snapchat. I don't have a Snapchat, but. I've never been Snapchated by him, so I. can't confirm to you. >> What kind of screenshot are we saying? >> Okay, so it was from Grant's phone and. it looked like it was the dad. And then. there's also a picture of him shirtless. that he took a selfie shirtless. >> Uhhuh. And it was like something sexual. along the lines of all of your inches. want me or something.

>> Wait, what's the context? He he took a. Snapchat photo and send it to somebody. >> Yes. But. >> somebody screenshotted that. >> Yes. But it is it is believed I think. that this was not sent to a minor. >> Okay. Oh, so he was talking to another. woman and he sent the. >> Yes. >> Okay. photo to Okay. So he does look. like there is a Snapchat. What I will. say is it does look like he has a. Snapchat in my opinion. I don't know. I've never been Snapchated by him. It. does look like he took a shirtless.

picture and was maybe hitting on people. on Snapchat. He could very well have. been sending this to someone of age that. is single and does not cross any sort of. moral boundary. >> Or he could have been doing what Angie. is claiming he was doing, which was. trying to groom underage girls. Angie claims that Aaron would try to. talk to high school girls by going to. the kids games, like his own kids high. school games, sports games, and then he. would take pictures and then Angie. alleges he would tell the girls, these. high school girls, that, "Hey, I'm going.

to send you the pictures. Just give me. your snap." Which I think anyone. >> anyone of a certain age with a Snapchat. is a little cr especially when you have. kids and you have a Snapchat is a little. weird. >> Yeah. Um, also I don't think that's how. you use Is it Is that how you use. Snapchat? >> I don't think so. >> Use it to send photos. >> I feel like the photos disappear. So why. would you want Do the photos disappear? >> Yeah, but I mean asking for phone number. is weird, too. But maybe Instagram. >> Instagram is safer. >> Yeah, Snapchat is I don't know. But. >> or like an email. I don't know. You're.

like you have kids. You're at a school. event. >> Weird. >> Or just like text it to the parents. >> Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. >> That's what I would do. It's just kind. of strange. >> No, that's actually really creepy. Imagine like you're at a sports game. Like you're you're doing this at school. and then a parent's like, "Give me your. Snapchat.". >> Oh, that's terrifying. Yeah, >> that's weird. >> Yeah, that's weird. >> But also, I can't imagine the other way. I can't imagine being like, "What's your. Snapchat?" to someone that's decades. younger than you is so bizarre. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

>> Very bizarre. Now, I will say it does. seem like he has a Snapchat. I don't. know if he's reaching out to young girls. or if he's even telling them that he's. going to send them pictures through. Snapchat, but that is what Angie is. claiming. I would imagine that every. single resident in Franklin, Tennessee. has heard about these different. arguments. There is even a contentious. point about did Aaron Solomon quit his. job working as a news anchor or was he. fired? Angie claims that Aaron Solomon. was more or less forced into resigning. from his position. He was a sports news.

anchor for Channel 4. And Angie says one. day they find inappropriate materials, pictures, videos, NSFW things on his. work computer and his work phone. And to. avoid a big massive scandal with the TD. network, they basically back him into a. corner and they say, "You got to resign. so they don't have to deal with a big. fallout for a newscaster being exposed. [music] for doing something like this in. their organization." That's what Angie. says. She does later elaborate, claiming. that some of those pictures probably. included her. And apparently people from.

his workplace saw it and told her that. she did not look awake, insinuating that. she had been drugged and potentially. positioned for these pictures. >> Wow. >> Aaron, on the other hand, argues that is. not what happened at all. He says he was. working in the sports department. They. moved him to the morning news segment, which he loved. He loved telling people. about the weather and what was going to. happen that day. But then because of. structural changes and new leadership, they wanted him back to sports. And he. felt like that was a demotion of sorts. And Angie herself even encouraged him to.

quit and find a position at a company. where he would actually be appreciated. for his work. Also, Aaron argued that he. thought it was perhaps a good time for. him to take some time away from work. because Angie's uneasy behavior, he. claims, is [music] escalating at this. point. That is what Aaron is saying. He. states that he was concerned about his. wife since around 2012. At one point in. 2012, Gracie had to have eye surgery. And according to Aaron, Gracie starts. sleeping in their bed after the surgery. to recover. And then Grant starts. falling a little sick. And he wants to.

sleep in their bed, too. And so now. Grant and Gracie are both in the bedroom. for like 9 months. And Aaron is saying, "We got to get the kids out of here. because this isn't normal." And like. they got to grow up. They got to they. got to they got to sleep in their own. rooms. This is not healthy. And Angie is. unwilling to do that. He describes her. as being reluctant and almost dependent. on the children. That's what he says. I'm not sure. I'm not a parent. I don't. know if that's a bad thing or a good. thing. I have no clue, right? But I. don't know if that's particularly a. great spectacular example of being.

dependent on the kids, but here we are. Another claim, an example he gives in. his lawsuit. And this is one time Aaron. said that he was trying to get fresh. bedding for Grant's bed. I guess they're. doing sheets. They're washing the. sheets. And Aaron is like, I'm going to. put the sheets on Grant's bed. the fresh. sheets. Just simple task. Angie, however, according to Aaron, gets very. mad at him and she's like, "I want to do. it. I want to do the sheets." He's like, "Okay, it's just sheets. You do the. sheets." Then he stops. Then all the.

kids are in the house and in front of. the kids, Angie's doing the sheets and. she's loudly complaining about how she. had to go find the sheets. She had to go. find the bedding and now she has to make. the bed herself and nobody wants to help. her. Nobody ever does anything. and he. claims that he was just shocked because. she was the one that told him not to do. the sheets. Eventually, Aaron does get a. new job because he thinks [music] things. are getting better again, but he claims. that Angie just started getting upset. and reactive to the point where he would.

come home with paychecks from his new. job. And Angie would just start spending. them extravagantly. [music] He states. one time she went to Dick Sporting Goods. and spent over $1,000 worth of things. that nobody needed. He secretly had to. go back and return them. and even then. she was freaking out. And it's not just. that. He claims Angie would just start. turning the kids against him and trying. to convince the kids that he was. abusive. As stated in his lawsuit, Aaron. claims that after the divorce, he just. wanted Angie to get better mentally. Angie is just constantly criticizing.

Aaron's parenting to the kids and quote. mischaracterizing his normal and. completely reasonable parenting rules. such as appropriate bedtime and limits. on screen time as controlling and crazy. So, he's saying he would make sure that. the kids go to bed at a certain time. Then he's saying that Angie would turn. around and say, "Your dad is crazy. I. wouldn't do that. No parent does that. That's so controlling and manipulative.". >> So, he's listing out all of these. details in the lawsuit. And the lawsuit. is for what? >> It's for defamation. >> Yes. Now, Angie's dad, who testifies in.

court against his own daughter, and. we're going to get into all of that. Yeah. Angie's dad takes Aaron Solomon's. side. But remember, Angie said her child. life was not good. She had to file an. order of protection against her own dad. as an adult. And now the dad is. testifying with her ex-husband who she. is saying is also an abuser. So. >> wow, >> it's very complicated. >> Complicated. Yeah. >> This is the dad, right? He claims that. Angie would convince the kids that their. father was being unreasonable and unfair. because of all of these things and she.

would come up with new claims and new. allegations all the time. Angie's dad. says that she would just start going. around telling everyone that Aaron told. the kids that she was dead, but like he. never did that is what he's claiming. So Angie would say, "He took the kids. away from me and then he told the kids. that I'm dead." So the kids are so. traumatized they think that their mom is. dead. >> Mhm. >> But I'm not dead. You know? >> Mhm. >> That's what she's saying. The other side. is saying we never told them that. they're dead. But Gracie is saying I.

thought my mom was dead. Okay, >> Aaron and his side, which includes. Angie's parents and her sister, they say. that the allegations are obviously very. serious, but they say it's not true. They say that Aaron allegedly essaying. his daughter Gracie allegations that. Aaron would control their food intake. So, Angie was telling people that Aaron. was obsessed with them being sports, like athletes. He would control their. food intake, make sure that they were. emaciated, perfect for performance. And. then on top of that, he would even.

randomly just control their bathroom. habits. If you had to use the restroom, you would have to do it in the allotted. specific time of the day. If you don't, you cannot use the restroom. If you. don't have to go number two, for. example, in that time period from 3:00. to 4:00 p.m., you can't ever use the. restroom until 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. the. next day. >> Now, does Aaron deny those as well? Yes. >> He denies everything. >> He denies everything. >> He said this never happened. >> Yeah. >> And Angie is brainwashed by the mother.

Is that what he's saying? >> Gracie is brainwashed by the mother. Gracie. Gracie. >> Yes. He's saying that Gracie is. brainwashed by the mother. >> How old is Gracie now? >> She should be 18 now. >> Huh. But this happened like when she was. a teenager or younger. >> This was happening when she was young. 2013. She Yeah, she's young. >> She's young. Wow. >> Yeah. Aaron claims that not only is. Angie out here making these really big, despicable claims of abuse, but also, according to his lawsuit, he claims that. Angie would bizarrely allege other forms.

of abuse. Quote, "She complained to a. close friend that Mr. Solomon had abused. the children by taking them to swim in a. motel pool while visiting a relative.". >> That's it. >> That's it. Just like taking them to a. motel pool was abusive is what he's. claiming Angie allegedly told a friend. >> Okay. But at least in the early stages. of this marriage, nothing is as. contentious as what happened in the. shower on May 9th, 2013.

Depending on who you ask, the shower. incident is going to sound vastly. different. If you ask Aaron Solomon, he. will say it is the day that Angie tried. to self-exit. If you ask Angie, she's. going to tell you it's the day that. Aaron Solomon tried to kill her. Aaron. says that night it was just the two of. them in the living room. Angie's not. happy, but what's new? He says he. doesn't even remember what Angie is mad. about. In the Solomon house, arguments. are naturally occurring at any given. moment. He's sitting there listening to. Angie and he claims just out of nowhere, she throws out a quick little, "I'm.

going to end it. I've been thinking. about it. I know how to do it and I know. what I'm going to do." And she just. allegedly calmly walks out of the living. room into the primary bedroom where both. Grant and Gracie have fallen asleep in. the primary bedroom in the parents bed. Aaron claims clearly this is making him. worried because why is she walking in. there after she just said this? She. walks in, she locks the bedroom door. Then he can hear her walking into the. bathroom, locking the bathroom door. So. he says, quote, "It took a couple of. minutes to get through both sets of. doors. When I opened the second door.

into the bathroom, I couldn't believe. it. She had wrapped the haird dryer. cord, so I guess a blowd dryer, the. cord, the electrical cord around her. neck three to four times and the haird. dryer was like resting there and the. other part was like plugged in. It was. attached to the shower head. Honestly, I. was trying to map it out in my head. >> Oh, she tied one end to the shower head. >> Yes. And she was slumped at the bottom. of the shower and I immediately could. tell that she had not snapped her neck. Her hands were turning purple though. Her face was turning red and so I. immediately undid it the rope or the.

cord and it took maybe 3 to 4 minutes. for her to come too. She was breathing. She had a pulse. I got a cold cloth. I. rubbed it on her head and I tried to get. her to come too. When she came too, she. became semi violent. She wanted to push. me away. Get away from me. She [music]. kicked at me. Don't try to help me. We. went into the living room where she. proceeded to get violent with me and. said that she was going to beat the hell. out of me for the next 2 and 1/2 hours.

until the kids woke up. She proceeded to. attack me, tried to hit me, scratch me, pull me, all of that. At that time, I. tried to defend myself, get away, grabbed my cell phone, which was. charging, and I went out the front door. I got in our car. I drove to Kroger, which is roughly about 3 to four blocks. down Abbott Martin Road. He claims I. never hit her, never struck her. I've. defended myself physically. I tried to. keep her away from me a number of times, but that's it. He doesn't immediately. call 911 that night because he says that.

he didn't want to upset the kids, which. is an interesting thing because he also. just like leaves the kids with Angie in. this allegedly heightened emotional. state, but I'm not a parent. I just. thought that was weird. He argues that. it's because quote, "She was getting. loud. I was really worried that the kids. were going to wake up and see this and. that's why I left." So, he's saying. like, "If I just excuse myself, I know. that she's not going to hurt the kids is. what he claims. But, I don't know. I. just feel like you can never be too. sure." He says, "That's why I left to. calm the situation, drive down a few. blocks." However, Angie presents the.

story very differently. She says it was. another one of those nights. Aaron's. eyes are yellow. Yeah, his eyes get yellow when he is. very upset. He's the one freaking out. He's getting mad. He's starting another. fight, which is very common. It's one of. those nights. And she says, quote, "He. started chasing me." They were fighting. in the living room. And Angie says he. chases her. So she's running as fast as. she can and she runs into the prim. primary bedroom where the kids are.

asleep. She locks the door. She runs. into the primary bathroom and quote, "Before I knew it, he had the wire. around my neck.". >> She says he's simultaneously pushing her. down while pulling the rope up, like the. wire up, and choking her. And she's. trying to fight back. She said, "I knew. based on prior experience, if I could. yell his name loud enough, you know, sometimes he would snap out of it, come. back to reality." So that's what I was. doing. I was screaming his name over and. over again. Angie says that he has eight. personalities, but it felt like that.

night the ninth one was coming out. She. says, quote, and he said, "Don't worry, this will be quick and painless.". But it wasn't the only time that I had. survived an attack on my life. It was. the first time that I had seen that. personality, and that thing was going to. kill me. The thing was, it was. monstrous, and it looked like a monster, and I knew immediately that I was in. terrible danger. I was in trouble. I. look up and Grant was standing [music]. right behind him. He had woken up. The only reason Aaron stopped, according.

to Angie, his attempt at killing Angie, is because their son Grant woke up and. came into the bathroom. Which, okay, Aaron is claiming that Angie tried to. self-exit and freaked out on him when he. saved her. Angie is claiming that Aaron. tried to kill her and only stopped when. Grant, their son, woke up. So, why can't. you just ask Grant Solomon which version. is true? Because in 2020, Grant Solomon. mysteriously dies. [music]. From executive producer Ryan Murphy.

Grant had just turned 18. like a month ago, and he is a star. baseball player, which means colleges. are already calling. And his dad, a.

former sports newscaster, wants to make. sure that he only gets the best calls, which is why they're driving an hour. away to this warehouse turned practice. location. It's called the Ward. Performance Institute in Gallatin, Tennessee. It is now closed. It's like a. windowless warehouse style gym. I. imagine that's where like a boot camp. gym style would be. It looks cool. The. inside looks great. Very well done, but. it has that hardcore energy to it and. you're just there to focus on baseball. and nothing else. It has been debated.

whether or not Grant and Aaron had an. appointment that day, but if it is true, then it would have been at 9:00 a.m. At. this point, Grant and Gracie are living. with Angie. It's like back and forth. custody. They're constantly fighting to. get the kids. At this [music] point, the. kids are living with Angie. So, Grant is. driving separately to meet with his dad, Aaron. Both at this 1 hour away practice. location. >> Why is it debated if there was. appointment? >> Both parties argue. So, Aaron Solomon. and his side argue that there was an. appointment and that's why they went and.

they were actually early to their. appointment. So, they had some time in. the parking lot. Angie and her side. argue, no, we found out that they don't. have an appointment, but this the center. is now closed. So no one can really and. I don't even think that they would. disclose. >> what that's such an easy thing to get an. answer. What? >> So it's been debated. According to. Angie, Grant really did not want to go. to Gallatin that morning. He was not. feeling well. He had just recovered from. CO. His lungs weren't doing great. He. just didn't even want to overexert. himself and make it worse for his.

performance later on. But alas, he's. going. I mean, whether that's self. motivated and not wanting to disappoint. himself or maybe it's not wanting to. disappoint his dad or he just wanted to. go. I don't know. It's unclear. >> I'm so sorry. Notes on the appointment. >> Yes. >> It was debated, right? >> Yes. >> Well, wouldn't there be some kind of. record like some kind of text message or. email or something or. >> Yeah. I will say that there's so much. online, >> but especially with this particular. incident, everything feels like you see. one thing online and you see.

documentation and you feel like, "Oh, that looks very legit." But then the. other party is like, "That's absolutely. not legit." And that's not what. happened. >> Okay. So everything it's like no one can. agree. So we can't even be sure that. things are certain. >> Even the police reports of this incident. of Grant's death are pretty sparse. >> There's like not a lot of public police. reports and they're very um thin. >> Very thin. >> Is this strange to you? >> It is strange, but also we couldn't. foyer it. We couldn't get a FOIA.

request. Now, typically like whatever. you can find online for public police. reports are very slim compared to when. you get a FOIA request and then you have. a typically more dense police report. Sometimes you can get the court reporter. to give you court transcripts and then. you get like a better picture. This it's. like so thin. >> and they're being released by. potentially parties involved. >> So it can be more spec selective. >> Yes. So, it's just really tricky.

>> Okay. Okay. >> Now, Grant drives up to the parking lot, parks next to his dad, and then 10. minutes later, Aaron Solomon is calling. 911, stating in a very strange tone that. his son is trapped, pinned under his. truck, his own truck, Grant's own truck. He is now under his own truck, >> and he can't get out. 1357. >> Uh my my son's truck backed over him and. he's it's rolled over him and drugged. him into the ditch and it's on top of.

him. He's trapped under the truck and I. I. Yeah, he. somehow it drugged him underneath it. >> Yes, my son is under it. I'm trying to. No, I'm I'm trying to call 911. >> It's almost like he's talking to someone. that's also present at the scene now. Now the operator is asking him, "Okay, what's your name?" My name is Aaron. Solomon. Okay. How old is the male? >> He's 18. He just turned 18 a couple. weeks about a month ago. My son. Oh my.

god. Oh my god. This is not good. >> Is he awake? >> Oh, please hurry. >> I don't No, I don't think so. He's not. He's not alert, right? No, he's out and. he's trapped. I got three guys here and. he's trapped under the truck. >> Okay. Oh my gosh. >> Okay. It's very strange. It seems vague. It's interesting because, you know, she. says he's not alert, right? Which would. imply that he should be checking on him, but it sounds like he's not the one. confirming. So, it sounds like he's not. the one visually seeing that his son is.

not alert. He's getting this information. from someone else at the scene, but he's. at the scene. >> Yeah. Which is crazy. If this is your. son, you should be okay. >> You should be under the truck. >> Yeah. >> But he's not. And his voice is, a lot of. people say, eily calm. He's saying like, "Oh my god. Oh my god. [gasps]. This This is not good. Oh my god. >> Oh my god. >> Oh my god. >> Oh my god.

>> Was your son working on it? >> Very valid question. >> Very lack of direct communication in. times of panic. I mean, I get it. It's. understandable. But you also have to see. that it's very vague what he's giving to. the operator. Grant ended up under his. truck. We don't know how. >> No. No. No. I don't know. He was just. getting out of it. So, he wasn't working under the truck. He's getting out of the truck. >> We're on an incline and I guess he. didn't have it in park or something or. it wasn't engaged or.

>> Oh my god. >> Oh my god. >> Still not responding. >> No. No. >> And he's still under truck. No one can. get from under. >> No. >> We saw units and routes to you. I'm just. asking you questions before we can. update him. Okay. >> Can you check and see if he's breathing? >> I I somebody's telling me that he's. coming too. >> Okay. >> He is waking up. Trying to keeping.

still. >> So he is. >> Well, he can't Yeah, he can't move. I. don't think he can move. I I don't know. >> Okay. I. >> No, he can't move. He's trapped. >> Okay. We got somebody in row now. When. he wakes up, he might be there. Can. somebody come down there and talk to. him? >> Yeah, somebody talked to him there. >> There's blood. Is he facing up or down? He's facing up. They said he may. aspirate. We need to hurry.

>> What is going on? This is such a weird. call. >> It's such a bizarre call. So, does he. have blood coming out of his mouth? >> Yeah, he's Yeah, there's blood coming. out. Yeah, somehow it drugged him down, I think. I don't know whether it wasn't. in park or what or if it didn't engage. the brake or it drugged him underneath. somehow. >> Okay. >> They said he's facing up. >> Okay. >> But he's bleeding from his mouth. So. Grant, turn your face to the side if you.

can. Barely, but be careful. >> Don't move him. Okay. >> We can't move him. We can't We can't. move him. >> That provides no context. So, I am going. to try to give you as much context as. possible after telling you about the 911. call. The training facility is located. on a hill. So, it's right off a pretty. busy road. I was looking at like the. Google Earth View and stuff, and it it. doesn't seem like a middle of nowhere. road, which is intriguing later when you. see all of the facts of this case. It's.

a road, then you turn right, I would. imagine. You turn right and it's up this. hill. It looks steep. It's a cement. little pathway up the hill onto the. little parking lot. It's not even a. parking lot. There's no parking lot. lines. It's just a few spaces you can. park on this hill and there's this. warehouse on top. It It looks like it's. in a more industrial part of the. neighborhood. It doesn't look like this. very cutesy berries boot camp soul cycle. type of facility. It looks like you go.

there just to train for baseball and. that's it. You're not here for a. smoothie next door. >> Mhm. >> This is a a facility. There's no. windows. There's just this garage door. that is down at the time and a small. black door that has no windows that you. can enter through. It's very efficiently. done. I mean, no part of this facility. was done for aesthetics, even the. parking area. Only half of the parking. area is cement. The other part is grass. So, you have this strip going up. And on. the sides of the strip of cement are.

just grass and rocks, like giant rocks. I would say they're like watermelon. sized. Some of them are fist size. A lot. of them are grapefruit to watermelon. size. Watermelon is pretty big that. maybe there's like one or two watermelon. size. Maybe more grapefruit size, but. they're pretty jagged rocks. They don't. look like pebbles or stones. They don't. look like someone bought them and put. them there. They look like they were. already there. So, you got all these. rocks and then grass on the side. And. then once you get past this little. driveway, >> then you just have a little strip of.

concrete and you can park. That's it. It. makes sense that they would not get rid. of the grass or the rest of the hill. because you couldn't even really park. there because of the way that the. incline is done. It just wouldn't be. feasible. So, they did it just where you. can actually park. If you want to be. very simplistic about it, parking lot is. on a hill. There is a ditch at the. bottom of the hill with big rocks. That's as simple as it gets. Now, the. ditch in pictures sometimes look short, but videos of people who have gone out. there, they say if you stand at the. bottom of the ditch where the rocks are.

and you stand up tall, it's maybe about. like 5' 3 in tall. >> The ditch is 5t tall. So, you're. basically in the ditch. >> You're in the ditch. >> Like, I think it would be pretty hard to. climb out of that ditch unless you walk. to the sidewalk and then walk up the. cement pathway, the driveway. >> Okay. Okay. I see. >> Cuz it's just grass. >> I see. I see. I see. is rocks and grass. >> I see. >> Now, the medical report states that when. emergency personnel get to the scene, they find an 18-year-old man lying on.

his back on large rocks in a ditch. He. is [music] underneath the front of the. truck. >> between the two front tires. So, his. head he's facing up. He's on his [music]. back and his head is in between the two. front tires. So, his feet are facing the. street, but the truck is facing the. facility. The medical report states the. weight of the vehicle was supported by. the wheels and was not being exerted. upon onto the patient. So, it's not like.

the car is crushing him. This is very. important. [music] Meaning Grant is. laying on his back on the rocks in the. ditch. His truck is on top of him, but. it's not suffocating him. It's not. crushing him. Technically, if he were. uninjured, he could maybe crawl out of. there. I don't know if he would because. of the rocks being jagged, but maybe he. could if it was flat land. Upon initial. impression, patient is noted to be. unresponsive but breathing and is noted. to have some bleeding from the scalp, nose and ears. [music] Primary. assessment is limited due to inability.

to access the patient. Patient is with. no obvious deformities upon assessment. Although assessment is limited, detailed. assessment findings are as noted. previously. So they are able to move the. truck off of Grant, rush him to the. hospital, [music] but he is pronounced. dead. And so now everyone has so many. questions. >> What was the cause of death? It was um. cardiac arrest actually. >> What? >> Yeah. So, even just looking at the. picture of Grant's car in the ditch, it. just it doesn't feel right. Even that.

911 call netizens say, "It's very. freaky. Like, why does the dad sound so. cold? Why does he sound so distant?" One. comment reads, "He sounds as concerned. to somebody ordering a pizza delivery. Like, somebody what the is happening? Like, this is what evil sounds like.". Another person comments, "We need to. hurry. That's what the dad said. Yet, he. isn't there to help him. Why isn't he. near his son? Also, the part where he's. like, "Grant, if you can, move your head. to the side. >> Grant, turn your face to the side if you.

can, barely, but be careful.". >> That sounds a little. >> insane. >> Performative maybe. >> I mean, another comment reads, "What the. actual heck? I can hold my hand on my. heart and swear on the Holy Bible. Wild. horses would not be able to stop me from. trying to help my child. He is not the. least bit bothered. No emotion in his. voice, no words of comfort to his son, nothing. However, some people are. defending Aaron. Some people write, "Conspiracy theorists are so funny to. me. The dad is not calm here at all. He's trying to stay in control and.

communicate. You people are all so. crazy. Not everyone is a sexual abuser. Not every female tells the truth.". Which I feel like that part I mean, you. can be on air side. I we don't know what. happened, but also like that tells me. everything I need to know about the. commentator. But not every female tells. the truth. Horrible accident, but it. happens 210 times a year. This exact. same thing. Victims are always between. 18 to 23. As a mom, it's a very sad. tragedy, but it's very disturbing how. the internet thinks it's both the judge.

and the jury. And this dad is not calm. at all. As a parent, he's frantically. trying to control himself. Um, I will. say there was someone in my hometown. that had actually was in a very similar. accident when I was really young. Um, this was like childhood times, but car. ran over, car parked on a hill, was not. engaged in park, and it ended up killing. him. But with that one, there were no. conspiracies. There were no whispers. around town. It was very clear it was an.

accident. Like, it was very clear what. happened. And there were no allegations. There were not even like little bits of. people being like, "Oh, that was weird.". Like you remember that no one talks. about it, but it was weird. Don't you. think it was weird? It was devastating. and it was a lot, but it there was no. this there was no contention. There was. no discourse around the events. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> There was more discourse on like how can. we prevent this from happening to. others, but this is weird.

>> Okay. Question. Who was there? Exactly. Aaron says that there were. three witnesses that were there that. were helping him talk to Grant that were. surveying and they briefly were. assessing if they can try to take the. car or the truck off of Grant. One of. the employees that eventually comes out. of the facility. They didn't see. anything. Also, there's no security. cameras. >> Mhm. >> There's no security cameras in this. facility. There's no street cameras. So, one of the employees that comes out of. the building later on, this is I believe.

after the 911 call, they say that they. saw three witnesses that were there and. they were wearing like construction. vest, but by the time that the police. get there, the witnesses are gone. >> You're kidding me. >> They don't give their statement and they. have not come forward to this day to. say, "Oh, yes, I was there and let me. tell you what I saw.". >> That is wild. >> It's wild. It's weird. >> That is wild. Who are these people? >> We don't know. What did Aaron say? >> That they were just passerbys and then. Yeah, they were there. I mean, they were.

there. You can hear some voices on the. 911 call. Aaron is clearly talking to. somebody. And then even the worker at. the baseball facility stated that he saw. three people wearing the construction. vest and then just gone. Just gone. We. don't know. We don't know their side of. the story. They're not really even. mentioned in the police reports. The. workers in the facility, they didn't see. anything. I mean, by the time that they. come out, they see the scene as is. They. don't see how it happened. They don't. see anything. They don't even see them.

arriving. They saw nothing. And. according to a police report, Aaron's. statement is given, and he says, "My. son, Grant, and I pulled into the. parking lot separately, parked side by. side. I was still in my car, but I. noticed my son get out of his car to get. his baseball gear out of the back of his. truck. I look down to check a work email. and the next thing I know, I hear and. see the truck rolling backwards into the. ditch. I get out of my car to try and. find my son and saw that he was trapped. underneath the truck and immediately. called 911. That's his version of events. This.

version would indicate that Grant either. goes to the backseat of his car or the. trunk of his car to get his baseball. gear presumably, but the car. malfunctions or was not in park to begin. with and starts rolling down the hill. and dragging Grant with the car before. he falls into the ditch, hits his head. on the rocks, and the car lands on top. of him. There's variations of some. people think that he was dragged down. the parking lot. Some people think that. he was like using force to push the back.

of the truck, but then it's like it's. forcing his feet to move back, but I. don't imagine none of them make sense. And I'm not like a physics girl. I've. never been a STEM girly, but I just I. don't know how that works. I feel like I. imagine a toy Toyota Tacoma coming down. I mean, I guess I could try to ask. someone, an expert, about it. I I don't. know who I would ask. Does [snorts]. anyone know? Right. But if you were to. come down with the Toyota Tacoma, I'm. imagining that car is 56,000 lb. That's.

a guesstimate. I it it would have to be. coming pretty fast. No, >> no, not necessarily at the beginning. At. beginning will be a slow roll. >> But then eventually it's fast. Correct. >> No. If it's like jagged, like it's. there's a lot of friction, but it will. be moving. It will be moving. And. >> do you think that someone could. >> stop it. >> or like have it slowly? >> That I don't know. I don't even know. what it looks like in my mind right now. But I think if 6,000 lb is emotion, like. if it's decide to, you know, go down in.

motion, that means it's not going to be. easy. >> because even that point is contentious. A lot of people think it makes more. sense that he was knocked down by the. car and then dragged down the parking. lot and then dragged into the ravine. because they're saying 6,000 lb. There's. no way you can try to even like slowly. slowly walk it down into the ditch. >> Oh. Oh, that's what you're asking. >> Yes. >> Walking it down. That's crazy. >> Not walking it down, but like still. standing upright.

>> Oh, like go down with the truck at the. same time as you're standing. >> Yes. Then people are saying it makes. more sense that he was dragged across. the pavement. >> But there's no blood on the pavement. >> There's no indication of anyone hitting. the pavement. There's nothing on the. pavement. >> I see. >> You only start seeing blood on very. select rocks around where Grant's head. supposedly landed. >> I mean, he could like stumble, like. stumble back really quickly and just. like stumble, stumble, stumble, and then.

>> So, that's the first point of. contention. And if it's just one point, I think it's fine. I think it's. something that a lot of times. unexplainable things do happen. But when. it's multiple points that are up for. debate, it starts feeling a little bit. fishy. So, that's the first fishy point. The second fishy point that doesn't make. sense is that according to various. people, when they arrive at the scene, that car was in park. These are just. people on the internet, mainly from. Angie and Angie's side. Perhaps one of. the construction workers put it in park. to make it more secure. We don't know.

because we don't know who they are. Perhaps it was always in park and the. car malfunctioned. Or perhaps it was. never in park and we don't know because. the police reports don't specify. But it. has been widely reported that the car. was in park by the time that the police. get there. Which if that's the case, can't you prove it by getting the car's. blackbox in figuring out what went. wrong? Did the car malfunction? What. happened? Well, Aaron apparently. declines to have this car forensically. analyzed. Grant's car is not. forensically analyzed to figure out what.

happened. It is very, very, very, very. unlikely that the car would be in park. and still roll down the hill like that, wouldn't it? Others argue that maybe the. car was never in park, but that doesn't. make sense because if the car was never. in park, Grant would not have time to. get out of the car and then get behind. the car in a way that it would roll him. down and drag him down. >> You're saying it's going to go down so. much quicker. >> Yeah, it would probably go down while. he's in the driver's seat,

>> right? Immediately when he steps out, the car is already Yes. >> going down. He wouldn't even get behind. the car is what you're saying. >> Exactly. >> Right. Right. Right. Okay. So then it. doesn't make sense that the car was. never in park. But if the car is in park. and it's still rolled down, that doesn't. make sense either. And you know what. doesn't make more sense about that is I. do think that listen, I don't know what. Aaron Solomon is. But if I had to take a. personal gander, a personal guess, he. seems a little latigious. He seems like.

he would like to sue someone. I think he. would sue the out of Toyota is what. I'm saying. I think that if he knew that. the car was in park and it still rolled. down the hill, I think that he would get. his blackbox analyzed and he would sue. the out of. >> Wait, that is such a good point. >> That is my opinion. I don't know. That's. just what I'm saying. >> Wait, that is such a good point. >> Yeah, but he doesn't. >> Right. I will be so angry. >> at the car manufacturer. >> Yeah, I would be angry at so many people. for something like this to happen.

>> I would be on a campaign against the. manufacturer. >> Yes. >> Which also I do love a Toyota. They're. very reliable cars. So that's also. another point that people are like. >> Toyotas, especially the Toyota. Tacomaomas in recent production, they're. like really reliable cuz they're made. for working cars. But. >> but he doesn't he doesn't get it checked. out. He never talks about Toyota ever. again. He's never like posting on. Instagram like don't buy a Toyota. >> Nothing. I mean maybe he does privately. or maybe he has and I just haven't seen.

it. I just is my personal opinion that I. would assume that he is someone that. would like to take legal action against. a massive corporation. But more than. that, even in both versions, the end. placement of Grant's body is very. strange. He lands on his back with his. face facing the street. The car is. facing the facility because it's. reversing down. So, he parks with his. front facing the facility and now it's. rolling downhill, but his body is facing. the street. So you would have to imagine. there's some sort of tumbling that's. happening.

>> But there if there's tumbling that's. happening, they can't really. Angie says. that when she went to the scene, she. couldn't find other points of blood to. indicate a tumble happened like impact. one, impact 2, impact 3. It's just right. where his final resting place is. So it. doesn't make sense is what she's saying. And a lot of people have been trying to. do accident recreations through words, which is very difficult to even. envision. But it's like no one can agree. that this makes any reasonable sense. It. feels like Karen Reed all over again in. the sense of like even if you really.

want to believe it. It's so hard to even. picture it in a way that doesn't feel. like it's straight out of like a movie. because it doesn't make sense. Like you. have to work really hard to make it make. sense visually. He doesn't have a lot of. cuts or abrasions on his body to. indicate any sort of rapid or intense. tumbling or skidding or dragging had. occurred. And it's strange even then. Let's say his car is falling. He. realizes he has nowhere to run and. doesn't run sideways, which maybe he.

can't. So, he just tries to outrun the. car and runs into the ditch. So, people. were thinking that people are like, "Okay, maybe it's weird." So, maybe he. turned around to run away from the car. to outrun it, right? >> And then he jumps into the ditch and. then he lands on his feet and then maybe. he lands on his back hitting his head. and then the car lands on him. But. there's no fractured ankle. There's no. broken ankle. >> There's no trauma to the ankle. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense, especially when you're landing on jagged.

rocks. I do believe that you can. probably jump 5 ft down and you'll be. fine, but on jagged rocks, it there's no. way. A lot of people are having a hard. time. How is he facing on his back away. from the building? Additionally, Aaron. is apparently sitting right there in the. car, right next to Grants, and he. doesn't see what happened. The next time. he looks up, his son and his car are. just gone. So, he looks around and he. finds them in the ditch. All that's. happening while he's just sitting in his. car checking work emails. >> Uh-huh. >> Angie says when she goes to see Grant's.

body in the hospital, Aaron has already. rejected an autopsy. He has rejected. donating Grant's organs. And alarmingly, she says, she claims, you know, Aaron. keeps telling her, "We're going to be a. family now. We're going to be a family. now." Angie has a lot of questions. Angie says, "This is what she knows. [music] We know that the car was in park. and we know that the cars were in the. ignition. And again, I don't know how. accurate this information is. I don't. know if maybe one of the witnesses had.

taken asked for the keys prior and had. put it in the inuction trying to move. it. I don't know. For one, she says the. grass around that area completely fine. The grass where the car apparently ran. over Grant before landing in the ditch, not a single blade of grass, she states, is even bent or messed up. It's. perfectly fine. Additionally, most of. the rocks are undisturbed and there's. barely any blood on them. Doctors noted. that Grant had a major head trauma to. the back of his head, including severe. lacerations and suspected skull.

fractures. He had blood coming from his. mouth, nose, and ears. Angie says that. she was expecting a lot more blood on. the rocks because when you read the. medical report, it sounds like he was. bleeding out on the rocks. Now, Aaron. and a lot of people will argue that it. was a lot of internal bleeding, but. she's saying that also doesn't make. sense because if he just like fell and. hit his head that she's saying it. doesn't make sense. The internal. bleeding would make more sense if he was. dragged through the pavement, ran over, but there's no evidence on the pavement. There's no blood on the pavement. So, she's saying that doesn't make sense.

either. There's no scratches on his. skin, according to Angie, no abrasions, and she's confused by all of this. Further, it's been questioned how Grant. doesn't have burns. If they had been. driving an hour to get to the facility. on this is, you know, summer in. Tennessee, underneath that car is hot. It's very hot. So, if you're in contact. with the vehicle, I did ask someone. about this. If you are under a car um. that has been driving for an hour, like. if you're a mechanic and you get up. under there, if you touch the car,

you're going to get burns on your body. within seconds. Perhaps the argument is. that Aaron wasn't physically touching. any part of the car, but um the person. that I asked, they said that a lot of. mechanics, they still would recommend. not because there's radiant heat, especially if you're not really. accustomed to it. You're going to feel. it could burn you. Now, there's no. record of any sort of burns or anything. According to a Instagram account called. Freedom for Gracie, now this is the. contentious, highly argued Instagram account. Aaron.

says Angie is operating it. Angie says, "No, I'm not." Aaron wants there to be a. subpoena for the IP for the operator of. the account. It's a whole thing. But it. does appear that whoever is running it. is very close to Angie because there are. a lot of documents that they're able to. get their hands on and post on that. account that only Angie would have. I. don't know if she's the one operating. it. I don't know if she's one of the. people operating it, one of the many. people, but it's just it's very uh Yeah, I I I don't think it's highly debated.

>> Why Why can't she be operating it? >> Well, because there's a lot of. defamatory potentially defamatory things. on there. >> Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. >> I see. Okay. So, he's like, "If you're. talking about me with under your name, I'm going to sue you.". >> But instead, it's a Instagram account. that's talking about them. Okay. >> And Angie is like, "That's not me." Now, this Instagram account states that a. Summer Regional Medical Center document. reads that the medical examiner stated. his cause of death was cardiac arrest,

cause unspecified, blunt trauma arrest. with traumatic brain injury. The caption. for the Instagram post begs the. questions, why does Grant's body not. have bruises, scrapes, lacerations, burns all over it? If he was dragged. across the pavement, rip wrap and rocks. while being dragged under a truck that. drove for an hour. Wouldn't it be hot. under that truck causing burns on his. body if he stuck under it? If someone is. dragged across pavement under a truck, wouldn't there be a bloody trail? Wouldn't Grant have yelled, screamed if. his truck started moving if he was out. of the truck? The question is, how do.

you get hit by a truck, roll under the. truck, somehow attached to the truck, get dragged by the truck, get thrown in. the rocks that are at a vertical angle, and miraculously land under the vehicle. without any other markings on the back. of your body? The Instagram account. alleges Angie remembers when she saw. Grant in the hospital. His body looks. perfect. She's expecting him to be. mutilated with blood everywhere, but. instead, he just looked like her Grant. She was in shock at the time, but she. remembers thinking in her head, "Not a. scratch. His body is not squished. His. body isn't torn to pieces. Nothing. And.

there's really nothing. The witnesses. are gone. There's no CCTV camera. We. just have Aaron's version. And Angie. decides she's going to grill him about. that day. And she's going to record him. and make sure that his story never. changes. And this recording, this. hourlong recording is up on YouTube. Aaron states they had gotten there. early. No rush. See, this is where again. people are like, "Did you have an. appointment? Did you not have an. appointment?" That's why the appointment. thing is important. We had gotten there. early, so there was no rush. you know, we have time. And he says, "The last.

time I see him is literally like right. here." And he's like showing Angie how. he's closing the front door of the. truck. The truck is there. They're like. using the truck right now as like a show. and tell. I'm. >> so confused. >> And the truck looks fine. That's another. thing. There's like no damage to the. truck. So, he's like opening the driver. side door and uh he's like closing in. He's like, "Yeah, this is when I last. see Grant." And then he motions like. he's about to open the back door. So. he's saying the last time I saw Grant, he's getting out of his driver's side, closing the driver's side, and then. opening the back or looks like he's.

trying to open the back. >> I look down, then I look back up and I. see him cuz we were early. We had like. plenty of time, so there was no rush. We. had our time. So the last I see is him. literally right here closing this about. to open this. And I'm thinking, oh, he's. just going to get his gear and I'm going. to check this email to make sure it's. not important. And then I'm going to get. out and we're going to go in. And then. and that's the last you saw him was. right there and the truck wasn't rolling. at that point cuz you would have noticed. it. >> Right. >> But when he gets out, he doesn't see.

Grant. >> He sees Grant's car at the bottom of the. ditch and quote, "I'm not thinking worst. case scenario at the very beginning when. I first got out of the car." I start. coming down this hill and at first I'm. looking through the windshield to see if. he had hopped back in by chance because. I don't see him standing there. So he's. like, "Oh, did he get into the car?" And. now he had like driven into the ditch. >> Mhm. >> So I'm like, "Maybe he got back in. somehow and I don't see him." So, I'm. above the hill and I look down and he. says that he could tell instantly that. Grant wasn't covered up by the wheels. Like he's not none of the wheels are on.

Grant. >> Oh, he saw him immediately under the. truck. Okay. >> Yes. And that's maybe why he sounds so. calm in the 911 call. >> What? >> I don't know. In my mind, in my opinion, in my. >> personal personality and my panic for. loved ones being in danger, I can't. relate. But he said that that's why. >> No, he lists a bunch of other things. >> He says he didn't see him being crushed. by a wheel or anything. Aaron is. explaining to Angie that he clearly saw.

that the front tires are not on top of. Grant. He is not sure if the back tires. ran over Grant. He doesn't know. anything. He says, "I don't know. I. didn't actually see everything happen.". He says that he doesn't jump down the. side of the ditch because he's well one. he's immediately calling 911, but also a. couple of guys were telling him he needs. to sit down right now. >> I was more in the front of it and I'm. calling 911 immediately. You know, people are like, "Man, you you need to. sit down cuz you're. >> indicating that he's so distraught that.

maybe it's best for him to not go down. into the ditch.". >> What What is going on? >> Aaron theorizes out loud. Also, like are. those guys just just happened to be. there at the right time? That doesn't. make sense. If he's calling the cops and. they're already there before him, we. know 100% there were people there. because it's on the call. >> We think that there's three guys. The. employee could have been wrong, but we. can at least hear one other voice. Aaron. theorizes out loud. Let's say by chance.

the back door caught him. So, he's. saying maybe by chance he opened the. back door and the car starts sliding. down. Let's say by chance the back door. caught him and he gets knocked out. somehow when he first hit and it drags. him down the parking lot down the ditch. and he tumbles down through the ditch. His head could hit two, three times. He. states that the car bumper was basically. on the street because it fell down the. side of the hill with so much force that. it just like went back up onto the. street. >> Back up on the street. >> Okay, to give you an idea, the ravine,

the little ditch, it's like a tiny. incline back up onto the street. Mhm. >> So, like down the ditch and then like a. tiny little speed bump. >> and that's the street. Okay. So, he's. saying it just fell with so much force. that it almost went back up onto the. street. Cuz when you look at the picture. of the car, the weird thing is the head, the nose of the car is going down into. the ditch from the street. That's almost. what it logically looks like if you just. look at the picture. That's what I. thought happened when I just first came.

across this case back when it happened. and I saw the first picture. That was my. initial thought and then I quickly. realized that's not what happened. It. backed up. But when you think about. backing up, I just imagine it landing. very differently. And so I think to come. up with a logical reason whether it be. true or just him even trying to. understand the situation or I don't know. something more. >> it reversed all the way back onto the. street rather than driving off. People. think it's like driving off the street. into the ditch. >> Um my descriptions. Okay, let me be a.

little more clear. Like why why does. that detail matter is I guess is what. I'm trying to understand. >> Yes. So another theory is that Grant is. either placed into that ditch or someone. hit him on the head with a rock and he. fell into the ditch and then someone. drove the truck. >> from the road into the ditch covering. his body. If the car were to reverse. down the hill Yes. >> and run Grant over, >> it's a steep hill. >> Yes. And when it goes down this steep.

hill, some people would imagine, and. maybe this defies the laws of physics, >> that it would land. >> maybe almost still up the hill. Does. that make sense? Like the bumper would. get caught on something or maybe it. would even flip. >> or the back of the truck is like in the. ditch. Correct. >> Yes, that's what people imagine. But. Aaron is saying perhaps it went down the. hill with so much force because the back. of the car is not in the ditch. The.

front of the car is in the ditch. >> and the back of the car is kind of. >> No, it's on the opposite side. It's onto. the other side of the ditch now. >> Yes, >> that makes sense. So I envision a V. >> Yes. >> Instead of, you know, the back of the. truck is the back at the bottom, right? Now the top of of the truck is at the. bottom because it's reversed into the. other end of the V now. >> Yes. But it's like a very like small. incline for the. >> Right. Right. I see. I see. I see. >> But people are saying it it is very. weird.

>> Yeah. So one the the theory is he the. truck was never up there. You just drove. straight from this side. >> Yeah. Into the ditch. Right. >> Now there are other things confirming. >> Wait, is that why somebody think Grant's. head is facing up? Because if that's the. direction. See, that's why I'm having. such a hard time picturing because the. way you're describing the recount of the. story makes it so hard versus if you're. just saying the car drive off, it makes. it makes it easier to envision. >> And the recount of this story is very.

confusing. Even when I am seeing the. pictures, >> I cannot usually I'm a very visual. person. If I even read a few sentences. about how a series of events happen, I. can usually picture it very clearly in. my mind this with the pictures and I. kept thinking I'm just really not a car. person. I'm just really not a physics. person because I can't see it. >> I can't see this occurring. >> Wow. Okay. Wow. Wow. Yes. Yes. Okay. Wow. Okay.

>> There's not any sort of variation of. this scenario where I go, "Ooh, okay. I. I can see that." It just is weird. I. can't see. It's like fuzzy. >> Wow. This is insane. Okay, >> now people are saying that the car is. also very strange. So Aaron is saying, well, maybe it just fell with so much. force that it ends up, you know, the. bumper side is almost on the sidewalk. now because it was just going down that. fast. >> Aaron states, you know, but and me being. there makes it even worse for me because.

I'm like, what if, you know, I wish I. had. He says in hindsight he wishes he. had just gotten out of the car right. when he had gotten there. And he says. that it just makes it so difficult for. him because he was there when this. happened. Then he says something that. rubs Angie and everyone the very wrong. way. He says there are so many whatifs. That's why I said it has to be a God. thing. >> I mean there's so many whatifs. That's. why I said it had to be a God thing. because it's so freaky. Like it's so. freaky. >> And because I didn't see the whole. thing. I mean nobody knows except God.

Aaron later states, "That's why they. call it a freak accident because [music]. it's unexplainable. That's the only way. I can, like I said, I thought the other. day, you know, it's that it's a God. thing because none of it makes sense." I. guess it's um I don't know, even people. who are religious were just saying this. is a very weird. Usually, a lot of. religious people will say if they ever. experience something as traumatic as. their child passing away before them, there is initially a lot of anger with. God. And there might even be a testing.

of faith and perhaps even a loss of. faith and a turning away from religion. after incidents like this. But the fact. that he so very quickly is like it's a. God thing. What do you mean it's a God. thing? Like God wanted this to happen. Like that's very odd. It's not a normal. thing to say. And I'm not a religious. person, but a lot of religious people in. the comments have been saying, "No, that's weird. I just would not ever say. that as someone who is a strong believer. and has someone of faith." M. >> Now Aaron is saying that he's holding it. together for the 911 call, trying to be. there for Grant by getting the.

authorities there as quickly as. possible. Let's say that's all true. He's so distraught that he can't even. see Grant in the ditch because he will. freak out. >> He cannot he cannot even go near Grant. [music] He can only stand on top of the. ditch and call 911. If that is true, tell me why this distraught man is now. laying in the rocks at the ditch to. recreate the scene for Angie and it's. being recorded. Aaron straight up gets down on his back.

on the rocks, head up in the clouds, just staring blankly while Angie is. filming him. And Aaron is placing his. body where he states Grant's body was. And one of Angie's friends, who happens. to be there, you just hear her say, "Aaron, you [music] don't have to do. that. You don't have to do that." Oh, Aaron, you don't have to do that. >> He's like this. >> You don't have to do that. >> But Aaron just keeps casually saying. like he's like this. The 911 call I kind. of understand a bit more. I do think. that when things get really really high.

stakes, I actually can present more. calmly than when things are just kind of. high stakes. Like when things are just. going wrong, I'm full panic mode. But. then when things are like really severe, I can actually be a little more calm. So, I can understand why some people can. come off more cold in these moments. So, like that part, the 911 call, it's it's. weird. I will say it's weird. I'm still. in the ditch. I I'm I think the voice is. less of a problem for me. A lot of. people don't like that that he sounds. calm, that he sounds cold, that he keeps.

saying, "Oh my god." That part I can. kind of understand. But the fact that he. doesn't get in the ditch, I don't. understand that at all. That's the part. where the 911 call throws me off. sounding calm and trying to be effective. and outcome focused with your. communication is not the biggest deal. breaker in believing someone is innocent. or guilty. But this part is weird. That's the level of calmness in the 911. call that he depicts because he states. that he's trying to keep it together. But now that he's had time to process it. and now that he knows that his son is.

deceased, there must be some sort of. unraveling of emotions and almost like. the shock and the grief is now hitting. you and you must present something, right? But no, he's just laying in the. ditch in the rocks being like, "Oh, yeah, he was just like this.". >> And this is recent. >> Yeah. >> Right. Right after. >> Yeah. >> Huh. And he didn't seem emotional about. it. >> No. He seems like he's trying to explain. the situation. I don't know if it was. like the day of or the day after, but it. seems at least the insinuation is that. it was very close to the incident.

because they're talking about the grass. and how the grass is not dented and. bent. Oh, they're at the site checking. out the condition. I see. >> I imagine if it was taking place a week. later, they would not be able to point. out those things in a way that. >> makes it a deal. >> Was police investigating right away? >> I don't know what the police were doing. They said they investigated, but they. very quickly closed the case. And they. don't really give us factual information. on why they closed the case. They don't. tell us, "Hey, we did A, B, C, and D. We've come to the conclusion that there.

is there's no foul play." They're just. like, "No, it's a closed investigation. Naturally, after this, everyone, especially Angie, is more confused about. what happened that day. She said, "One, there was really no investigation. Two, wasn't Grant's truck found in park? Three, so it went out of park and then. back into park and then was completely. fine to drive after that?". >> I would want to put the car up there. again just to see if it'll roll down in. park. >> or.

>> That's true, >> right? If I'm the dad, I would do that. again just to check and show like, okay, there's something wrong with this car. that killed my son. >> Okay. I think in my personal opinion, if. Aaron Solomon has nothing to do with. Grant Solomon's death, which legally he. has nothing to do with Grant Solomon's. death as of right now. That's one thing. I do think that personal opinion I don't. think he's a good dad just for the sole. fact of like when you watch Angie's. video of him trying to figure out what.

happened to his son. He's like in the. car in the Tacoma and he's like I guess. it like popped out of park and he's it's. just like I wouldn't even take this. halfbaked answer for if. >> my utensils went missing in the house. I'd be like I got to investigate. I got. to figure it out. It's going to keep me. up at night. Like, what do you mean? >> And he's a news anchor, so he's. >> But he's just like, I guess it like it's. very quick to accept that this is a.

quote unquote freak accident. >> Yeah, that's weird. >> And usually a lot of people, I mean, I. was on Reddit, too. A lot of people were. saying that with freak accidents, it's. actually difficult to accept. >> because you start um there's a lot of. like, well, no, that doesn't make any. sense. >> Yeah. It feels very like unsettling. you. don't feel settled with what's happened. and it takes a longer time to get to the. grieving stage, but it seems like he's. very quick to accept like, okay, well, something happened. We don't know what, but it's sad, >> odd,

>> odd, >> odd, and like not to compare anything. But a lot of people are like, I wouldn't. even accept that closure if this were. like my dog. Like, you wouldn't want to. get to the bottom of it. Like, who what? This is my loved one. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> What do you mean? >> Yeah. I'm not just going to move on. Now, the only witness to all of this is. Aaron Solomon. There are no video. cameras within a mile or so. Aaron had. stayed parked at the top of the parking. lot, never went down to go near Grant.

Why doesn't he go to his son? We don't. know. Angie believes that there is no. evidence that Gran was ever ever even at. the top of the parking lot. She firmly. believes that he was rather placed in. the ditch and the car was driven into. the ditch. But if what Angie is alleging. is true, what motive does Aaron have to. kill his own son? Also, his um. girlfriend at the time of his passing, Hannah, we've actually talked to her. briefly. She's very sweet. Um there's a. lot going on obviously with the case now.

that Angie is facing her own charges. And I will say a lot of people have. opinions about Angie or Aaron. I think. that a lot of the third parties, such as. Grant's girlfriend at the time, Hannah, there's really no incentive. There's no. incentive for them to say something that. may not be true or for them to. exaggerate anything. Like, if anything, they have I I feel like there's their. motives are very pure because a lot of. people question Angie's motives. They're. saying there's a lot of things that have. been disproven later that we're going to.

get to. Or there's a lot of things that. maybe she said that were not factually. accurate and she probably knew it wasn't. factually accurate. There's just a lot. It gets very messy. There are text. messages. She gets caught in a lie at. certain times in court. Some people have. a lot of sympathy for that, saying that. it was just a lot of abuse and she's. just desperate to get her kids and she. shouldn't have lied, but she felt like. there was no choice. other people are. saying like if she's lying about that we. don't know what else she's lying about. I think ultimately I will say with the.

days passing more people are against. both the parents. >> It seems like they just don't like both. the parents and they think that Gracie. is a victim. Whether she is a victim of. sexual assault by her dad, whether she. is a victim of being manipulated by her. mother or maybe a combination of both, everyone believes Gracie, they want to. help Gracie. But it seems like more and. more people are kind of turning on both. of the parents. At first, everyone was. heavily in support of Angie, but the.

tides have been kind of shifting to just. not that they like Aaron, but like maybe. we don't like both of you. So, people. want to protect Gracie. And I think. that's why a lot of people think that. third party perspectives are more. pertinent to this case, such as Grant's. ex-girl or girlfriend at the time, Hannah. Um, there were talks from. Grant's friends that he was trying to. get custody of Gracie now that he was. 18. And Gracie is still a minor. So, he. wanted to get Gracie out of the. situation with Aaron. And now that he's.

18, he could legally do that. And. there's, you know, this conversation. that he saw that his mom was not getting. believed in the court system. He's a. guy. He's a young man. He has a. potential baseball career ahead of him. He seems like he would be a good. reliable person in the court system that. the judge would be inclined to believe. >> So this friend who came out who said. this, that's a real account of someone's. statement. >> This friend told Angie.

>> Oh, okay. >> So that is where it gets tricky. However, Grant's girlfriend at the time, Hannah, she has come forward to say that. his relationship with his dad has always. been rough. He never really talked about. it with her, but she would notice that. he would sometimes get emotional. There. was one point where he cried because he. didn't want to go back to his dad's. place, and it just seemed like there was. something going on. He was always extra. protective of her when his dad was. around, which she thought was strange.

So, because of that, she didn't really. have a lot of interactions with Aaron. Solomon. It seems like she does feel. like the dad is weird. Now, again, can. the dad be weird and the mom be weird? Yes. But also, the dad could just be weird by. himself, you know. And there's a lot of. things that the Freedom for Gracie. Instagram account has been posting, such. as pictures of the inner portion of. Graciey's thigh. Angie states that that. thigh, there's a bruise on there. It is.

from her being assaulted by her father. Aaron claims it's from a rash from her. swimsuit cuz I think she was on the swim. team at the time. So, that's been up for. debate. But there is another Instagram. video that Angie claims that she took. when she went to go see Gracie at a. baseball game or like at one of the high. school games. And it's talking about how. Aaron would put soap in her during bath. times and it hurt and she didn't like. it. >> How far? Yeah. When dad did the sunk,

how hard did it go? >> A lot of people have problems with this. video being posted. >> The video of Gracie talking. Yeah, you. can hear Gracie talking. You can't see. her. It's almost like Angie was hiding. her phone. Um, it's so hard because I do. see people's own perceptions and stories. tainting their version of events. Some. people who have had very narcissistic. parents growing up say, "This is exactly. what my mom or dad would do." They would.

plant these stories in my head. And the. way that Angie is leading these. questions and saying things like, "Tell. me what your dad would do again." It's. exactly like trying to get ammo on. camera and use it against everyone. >> So those people are pulling from their. own anecdotal experiences which I mean. are completely reasonable, right? We're. all human. And then other people who. have been essayed by family members or. in general are saying I mean this is. what happens. This is the only evidence. you can get because you can't really.

gather evidence and like you would be. surprised at how often this happens in. family units. Mhm. >> And so I think it's just really. difficult to say. >> Yeah. >> It's just hard. And then I start getting. in my own head of like, okay, well, am I. tainted by my own personal experiences. on how I personally feel about this. case? Not that my personal opinion even. matters in any sense of the case, but. and there's also this video of Aaron. where he goes to pick up Gracie from her. school. Gracie does not want to go with. Aaron. She's like, I don't want to go.

with you, Dad. I want to wait for mom. >> Friend with mom. >> All right. So then after the party you. go with neighbors specific. >> I don't I don't want to go to. Mississippi. Please I just don't want. to. >> At this point in time it seems that. Aaron has custody of the kids. And so. he's saying we've had this conversation. a number of times but it's going to. stop. Gracie will be coming with me at. some point whether you like it or not. He's talking to even the school. administrators. It will happen because. I'm not going to continue to allow us to.

be breaking the rules and you shouldn't. be allowing it either. And it's not just. about what you want right now. It's much. bigger than that. And I've tried to play. nice and be nice about it. And you've. been with your mom way more than you're. supposed to and way more than what the. judge. And then Gracie is like, "But I. want to." And he's like, "It's not about. what you want. It. >> doesn't matter what me, us three think. We've had this conversation a number of. times, but it's going to stop. Gracie. will be coming to me at some point. Whether you like it or not, it will. happen.". >> So even this clip, a lot of people are.

pulling from their own personal. experiences. Some people are saying, "I. had a parent just like this. They were. heavily abusive. Like, this is their. nice side in front of people in public. Imagine what they're like behind closed. doors." Other people are saying it just. seems like he's being very firm and. probably not nice. >> But it's not in. >> He recorded this. >> No. >> Oh, >> yeah. >> Who did? >> Well, Freedom for Gracie posted it. >> Who's holding the camera? Like, >> you can't really tell.

>> Just somebody's holding the camera. >> Yeah. I mean, I am. Maybe it's Angie. >> Oh, it it's just a video of him. >> and Gracie. Like, it looks like a. secretly recorded video of Gracie and. him. >> Oh. Oh. Oh, okay. >> Yeah. Regardless, Angie says that Grant. wanted to get his sister out. And Angie. believes that Grant knew that Aaron was. not happy with this. She says, "Before. Grant left that morning to go to. Gallatin, he stopped in front of my door. and said something that was so out of. character. He said, "Mom, I don't want. to die in Gallatin.".

So, I begged him. I pleaded with him to. like not go or I would go with him. Let. me sit in the parking lot. I thought he. was talking about his lungs from CO. He. was getting over that. We had to have. X-rays done and see doctors. I just I. didn't want to be a helicopter, Mom. But. I just thought it might just [music] be. it might just be that the lungs. He. said, "No, Mom, you're not going." An. hour later, I got a phone call that he's. gone. The GoFundMe for Justice for Grant. reads, "Aaron Solomon, who is currently. free to roam the streets as if he.

weren't a rapist, molester, and. murderer. We believe Gracie's older. brother and protector, Grant, lost his. life at the hands of the same man. The. only witness to Grant's death, who has. yet to tell the same story twice. Aaron. Solomon was never investigated. The case. was simply closed. With your donations, we will bring this man to justice before. he can do any more harm to Gracie and. her mother, Angie, or anyone else. Gracie needs help paying her legal fees. and Angie needs help hiring people to do. the work for Grant that the Tennessee. Bureau of Investigation and the Gallatin.

Police Department have refused to do. We. can't let the good old boys win. Grant. lost his life at a time when he was just. about to speak out against his father. for sexually abusing [music] his little. sister. It was his life's mission to. protect Gracie and now he can't. Gracie. demands the safety and freedom that. she's been denied over and over and over. again. And she demands justice for her. brother. She demands accountability for. the corrupt court system that put them. in this position and the corruption that. continues to deny them justice. During. Grant's vigil, a candle lit vigil, everyone was chanting, "Justice for.

Grant." [music] People were holding up. signs, "Reopen the investigation. Stop. denying the truth." But the police. won't. They won't open the. investigation. In Graciey's YouTube. video, she states, "I'm so scared of. Dad. I've seen him do terrible things to. people I love and myself. Because of. this, I strongly believed he killed. Grant and now he was going to kill me. I. know he killed my brother and now I'm. scared of him coming near me or coming. to get me again or hurt any of us. He. >> is a liar. I'm so scared of that.

[music] I've seen him do terrible things. to people I love and myself. Because of. this, I strongly believe he killed Grant. and now he's going to kill me. I know he. killed my brother and now I'm scared of. him coming near me or coming to get me. again or hurt any of us. Since then, 2020, Angie has been very active on. social media trying to build awareness. for this case for Grant Solomon. If I'm. not mistaken, I believe that they raised. close to $200,000 for the Freedom for. Grant and Freedom for Gracie GoFundMe. accounts combined. Angie says all she.

wants is a proper investigation, an. autopsy, well, an examation now, a. toxicology report, an accident. reconstruction, something. But she got. nothing. So now she wants to use this. money for that. For a long time, Angie. is on podcast, on social media, talking. about what we can do to help. And then. she just disappears. Like a year or two. ago, she starts slowing down in podcast. appearances. She doesn't disappear, per.

se, but a lot of creators report that. they could no longer get in contact with. Angie. She just kind of ghosts them. Others are saying that the social media. profiles are oddly quiet out of nowhere. after $200,000 have been raised. You. know, it's just quiet and there's not. much news, not much updates until. earlier this year. Angie Solomon is. arrested for a bizarre murder for higher. plot to have Aaron Solomon killed. And. now everyone is confused because is. Angie Solomon a desperate mom who is.

just trying to get justice for her own. son and take justice into her own hands. because nobody's listening to her. She's. going on podcast. Nobody's listening to. her. She's going on NewsNation. The. police aren't reopening the. investigation. She's going on doing on. all these things and nobody is caring. So maybe she felt like she had nothing. else to lose and this is what she has to. do for her daughter. Or did she take the. $200,000 and what did she do with it? Maybe she had no plans to reopen the. investigation. Maybe that was a ploy to.

get money. Maybe she brainwashed Gracie. into believing that her dad abused her. all so that she can get Aaron's. Solomon's million-dollar trust. Or is. Angie Solomon unwell? And has she. brainwashed her daughter into believing. in all of this abuse? And now that. they've raised $200,000 from the the. GoFundMes, which by the way, she doesn't. have anymore clearly because she. couldn't even pay the hitman. Where did. that money go? >> H. >> that's a big question. Where did that. money go? And now that she's run out of. that money, supposedly, is she after.

Aaron Solomon's million-dollar trust? What is the motive? Is it justice or is. it money? [music] That's what they're. arguing. So, with that, that is where I. leave you with this part of this case. I. will be back for the next part. And let. me know your thoughts. Stay safe and I. will see you in the next one. >> [music].
