Julie Chrisley’s Lawyer Gives Detailed Update on Reality Star’s Whereabouts
As fans continue to wonder where in the world is Julie Chrisley, the reality star’s attorney has shared an update two weeks Chrisley went “missing.”
Fans noticed last week that the Federal Bureau of Prisons website listed Julie’s current status as “Not in BOP custody” as of August 28. The BOP confirmed that Julie is not in their custody, with the U.S. Marshals Service later adding that Julie is in their custody as she awaits her resentencing court date in Atlanta on September 25.
Her attorney, Jay Surgent, told The U.S. Sun that Julie “was transferred out of Lexington, Kentucky. She’s scheduled to be in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 25,” noting that it was standard protocol with public figures to keep their exact whereabouts a secret.
Julie has been serving a seven-year federal prison sentence at FMC Lexington after she and her husband, Todd Chrisley, were convicted in 2022 for bank fraud and tax evasion. However, in June, an appeals court accepted Julie’s appeal, and she is now awaiting resentencing.
“The U.S. Marshals Service does the transportation of federal prisoners. They never say where the prisoners are coming from or where they are going, and when they’re in transport,” Surgent added.
“I suspect at this point in time, I know Julie was picked up some time ago. She’s probably not in transport. She’s probably being kept [in] state or county facility pending her Atlanta, Georgia, court date,” he continued.
Surgent said the secrecy is for Julie’s own safety, though he stated the location is likely “not far from Atlanta.”
“So it’s not like Julie’s missing from the system. Guaranteed that that’s not even possible. She’s transported privately, securely… No one knows where she is,” he shared. “As her council, we would know what the situation was, but at this point, for security reasons, there’s no way in heck that they would ever say where she is.”
Surgent also confirmed that not even Julie’s family knows where she is right now. This comes after Julie’s daughter, Savannah Chrisley, responded to a fan on Monday, September 9, who wanted to know why the reality star wasn’t saying anything regarding her mom’s whereabouts.
“I’m not trying to keep anything secret,” Savannah replied. “There are things that I don’t have answers to at this point and time… per my lawyers I need to stay quiet until after mom’s resentencing date on September 25th. TRUST ME… so much I want to say!!”

There are people that were convicted of attempted murder and was sentenced to months in jail and a few years probation. The Chrisley's sentence was too harsh.

I agree. My BIL was shot and died a year later due to complications and the guy only got 10 years. And the prosecution never followed through on their word to enter in plea deal that we could go back if he passed from results of this for higher charge so now he walks in 5 years to be reunited with his family and we never get to see my BIL again. Justice system is a joke!!

I don’t understand why they were not told to get jobs and pay back the money rather than be jailed.

How did they fly under the radar for so many years? This is just now an issue? They were in the spotlight before this for probably over a decade. I think it's criminal that this wasn't picked up on years ago! The justice system is garbage in this country. It's a broken system, with power hungry individuals at the helm. Lastly, the Chrisley's had to of had protection they were evading taxes but yet in the spotlight for years? You ask what changed? There were new elected officials in the Atlanta district also two new senators.

Julie christly deserves her prison sentence she received however I think the time she has served is enough and should now be let out. As well as Todd they stole money they are paying that price but they are not murderers so don’t deserve that many years in prison !

G
I agree you hit that nail on the head.
-
G
I agree she is a good mom and a wife and they both need to get out of prison because this is ridiculous.
And to you Retired In stay retired. You’re just jealous cause they’re rich.
-
G
I agree let them both out. Have them pay back the back taxes.
We have Trump getting off Scott free for his crimes, this is insane our judicial system.
I’m a proud American, but with the judicial system now makes me sad to be American.

They aren't as lucky as Savannah buddy that was convicted of 34 felonies, rape, fraud and is still walking around free as a bird he did far more and anyone else would of been in prison. The Christley's are and did far less....this is unacceptable
