SEVENTH INVESTIGATING GRAND JURY IN LEHIGH COUNTY TO REVIEW 1983 DEATH OF NEW YORK WOMAN

District Attorney Martin has issued the following statement regarding the death:

“Several months ago, I was contacted by the surviving sisters of Nancy L. Argentino, who died under unusual circumstances. I directed Chief Deputy District Attorney Charles F. Gallagher III to conduct a preliminary review of the investigative file and any and all evidence that was gathered over the past 30 years by the lead Detective, former Whitehall Township Detective and now Lehigh County Detective Gerald Procanyn, and others.

“Chief Deputy District Attorney Gallagher has recommended that the District Attorney’s Office utilize the power and resources of the current Investigating Grand Jury in this matter.

Accordingly, I directed that the circumstances surrounding the death of Nancy L. Argentino, and all evidence related thereto, be presented to the Seventh Investigating Grand Jury, which is currently empanelled.

“Grand Jury proceedings are a time-consuming process, and it will take months before the Grand Jury concludes its work on this case.

“Under the Investigating Grand Jury Act, 42 Pa.C.S.A. §4541 et seq., the proceedings of the Grand Jury are secret and may not be disclosed. Accordingly, I will have no further comment on this matter until the Investigating Grand Jury concludes its work.”

So if Snuka is found guilty and/or convicted....are we going to put him in the same boat with Benoit or do we just keep turning a blind eye to it?

The Undertaker's streak started by defeating NO ONE at Wrestlemania VII

I'm hoping Snuka, and Vinny Mac's luck has run out.

I heard a lot of stories about it, but never read the official reports, going to do that tonight.

From what Ive read on it I would say he is done for......and why did it take so long for this thing to get investigated? Sucks cuse you know if hes found guilt the media will sh+t all over pro wrestling just as they did after the Benoit incident.......

You have to think this leaves Tamina in a bad spot.......wonder what will happen, would be very awkward and uncomfortable for both her and WWE.

whoa....very interesting indeed. I have always known about this but never thought it would become an issue again. Also....this DOES leave Tamina in a bad spot.

This could be the beginning of a very big crapstorm for WWE/Vince/wrestling in general/ and us fans. If you think the fallout from Benoit was bad.......man how much worse would it be if it comes to light that Vince helped sweep this under the rug? For the sake of the business, I hope this flies under the radar. But if Snuka did what we all think, some kind of justice must be served. I just hope it isn't headline news. And if it does end badly, how do wwe handle it? Do they erase him too? It would be hard to argue otherwise since the precedent has been made with Benoit........however right or wrong that precedent is.

I agree 100%. If they truly are taking a fresh look at the case, then without question, one man they NEED to interview again is Don Muraco. I just watched the WWE 1983 Timeline clip on YouTube and they ask him about what had happened and I think you can tell from his demeanor that he knows the REAL story, but won't tell. Watch it at 3:32 of the clip and then voice your opinions:



I don't think it looks good for Jimmy or Vince. I think Vince paid some under the table money for it to be swept under the rug and forgotten about. This case has come back to haunt him and rightfully so. Justice MUST be served.

I bet Jimmy is calling Vince for advice and to make sure they get their stories straight.
