The Strange Story Of Brad Lee Davis

"You think you've heard it all? A man killed his stepfather with an 'atomic wedgie' – then took cellphone photos of him dying."In this bizarre and disturbing true crime episode, we investigate the case of Brad Lee Davis, an Oklahoma man whose 2013 crime made headlines worldwide for its sheer strangeness. On December 21, 2013, Davis, 33 at the time, was drinking with his stepfather, Denver Lee St. Clair, 58, in St. Clair's McLoud trailer [citation:1][citation:4]. The argument began when St. Clair insulted Davis's mother – who was also St. Clair's wife [citation:3][citation:7].What followed defies belief. After knocking St. Clair unconscious, Davis pulled the elastic waistband of his stepfather's underwear over his head in what is known as an "atomic wedgie" [citation:1][citation:9]. The elastic band tightened around St. Clair's throat, strangling him. The medical examiner ruled death resulted from blunt force trauma and asphyxiation [citation:3][citation:5].But the strangest detail emerged during sentencing: Davis took cellphone photos of St. Clair while he was gurgling and in clear distress [citation:5][citation:6]. The judge called this deeply troubling. Davis initially faced first-degree murder but pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in May 2015 [citation:1][citation:7]. Despite his tearful apology – "I truly loved and respected Mr. St. Clair" – and claims he only meant to embarrass, not kill, the judge sentenced him to 30 years in prison [citation:1][citation:3][citation:8]. Listener discretion advised.
