WWF Legend Jimmy Snuka To Be Charged with Murder … In Death of GF
Former WWF superstar “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka — a member of the WWE Hall of Fame — will be charged with murdering his girlfriend in an incident that happened 32 YEARS AGO.
Officials in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania say the 72-year-old will be charged with 3rd degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.
Investigators believe Snuka killed Nancy Argentino following an attack in a motel in Allentown back in 1983.
According to her autopsy report, recently obtained by The Morning Call — Argentino suffered multiple cuts and contusions on her entire body. The autopsy says Argentino died of traumatic brain injuries consistent with a moving head striking a stationary object.
The investigation was re-opened after continuous pressure from Argentino’s family.
Snuka has already been arrested — he was taken into custody at his home in NJ earlier today. He’s been booked. Bail has been set at $100,000.
Cops say Jimmy Snuka has been lying about what REALLY happened the day his GF died for DECADES … and his own autobiography helped convince cops he’s the murderer.
TMZ Sports has obtained documents from the grand jury that indicted the former WWF superstar … which spells out why investigators believe he killed Nancy Argentino in 1983.
Long story short … cops say Snuka told investigators in 1983 that Nancy injured her head while the two were “fooling around” outside of their motel room in Allentown, PA when he pushed her and she fell, striking her head.
Fast forward to 2012 … when Snuka published his autobiography, “Superfly: The Jimmy Snuka Story” in which Jimmy’s story changes RADICALLY.
In the book, Snuka says Nancy slipped and fell on her own while going to the bathroom at a rest stop. He makes no mention of an altercation whatsoever.
Well, cops took notice of the extreme change in his story and reopened the case — ultimately, determining there was enough evidence to prove Snuka laid a serious beatdown on Nancy, which directly caused her death.
Snuka was arrested today in his NJ home. He has since posted bail.
