“Superfly: The Jimmy Snuka Story” was meant to highlight his Hall of Fame career, but Lehigh County authorities say it also helped crack a 32-year-old mystery — the death of Snuka’s 23-year-old girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, after she was found unconscious in a Whitehall Township motel.
On Tuesday, Snuka, 72, was charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter after a Lehigh County grand jury determined he repeatedly assaulted Argentino in May 1983 in the motel and then left her in bed to die.
“His assaultive acts and his failure to act to obtain medical attention resulted in her death,” the grand jury wrote in a presentment July 17, recommending he be charged with homicide.
Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin announced the charges at a news conference two years after the case was reopened. The grand jury probe was prompted by a 2013 Morning Call investigation that raised questions about the Argentino case 30 years after her death. The Morning Call story revealed a never-before-seen autopsy report that labeled the case a homicide.

It appears that the sports figure was given a pass because of his celebrity. Someone hid the autopsy report. That someone should be charged along with the perp.
