CORRUPTION: What happened to Grant Solomon? Lauren Conlin, PopCrime.TV
-
- Wahre Kriminalfälle
On July 20, 2020, 18-year-old Grant Solomon tragically died in Gallatin, Tennessee; his body was found in a ditch underneath his own truck. In what was described as a freak accident, the details of Grant’s death remain unclear to many people. The only known witness was Grant's father Aaron Solomon, a former Nashville TV News Anchor turned financial analyst. There was no investigation into the accident and shockingly NO autopsy; though there were many discrepancies between Aaron's official statement, the condition of Grant's body, and the state of Grant's truck. Join us as we investigate Grant's suspicious death, with the goal of re-opening his case and getting Grant the justice he deserves. There's more to this story than what meets the eye, and we're uncovering some major red flags in Tennessee. Aaron Solomon maintains he had nothing to do with his son's death and has never been arrested in connection.

Cross Promotion: Another TN case, MISSING FOR 20 YEARS: JENNIFER AND ADRIANNA WIX
While we work on our monthly episode about GRANT SOLOMON, we thought you may want to hear about another case in Tennessee that we covered on The Outlier Podcast:
21-year-old JENNIFER WIX and her 2-year-old toddler ADRIANNA were last heard from on March 25, 2004, in Robertson County, Tennessee. The last person to allegedly have seen the mother and toddler was JENNIFER'S then boyfriend, JOEY BENTON. The two had an "on-again, off-again," tumultuous relationship, and BENTON'S father, JOE SR. has a dangerous criminal past, while BENTON himself has a history of violence. There were also possible allegations (and/or theories) of ADRIANNA potentially being molested, but the BENTON family quickly dismissed those claims. Fast forward to 2024, JOE BENTON SR. is serving time for the sexual exploitation of a minor. We have a lot of questions about this case- but first- we'll share what we know.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING JENNIFER AND ADRIANNA, PLEASE CONTACT 1-800-TBI-FIND.
*Corrections: Officers did not need to obtain a search warrant for the Benton household, they simply waited an entire weekend before searching the house.
*Exxon Mobile had recorded over footage from that evening by the time the footage was requested

Trial attorney and TV Legal Analyst MISTY MARRIS weighs in on past litigation & more...
This week, we explore past litigation involving Gracie, Grant, Angie and Aaron with defense & trial attorney (and television legal analyst) MISTY MARRIS.
"There seems to be a lot of overlap between the court system, the church, the school in general. What you could do is you could raise that there's a conflict of interest with this judge. That would be the legal process that you could go through to say, this judge isn't going to be impartial and basis on the record," MISTY MARRIS ESQ
