Wrestling legend with links to Fiji, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka is being charged with third‑degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for the death of his girlfriend more than 32 years ago in an assault at an Allentown area motel.
Allentown Morning Call reports that the charges were announced at a news conference.
72-year-old Snuka has been arrested. He was sent to county jail under $100,000 bail.
The County District Attorney Jim Martin re‑opened the case last year, prompted in part by a Morning Call investigation that raised questions about the death of Snuka's 23‑year‑old girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, in May 1983. The Call story revealed a never‑before‑seen autopsy report that labeled the case a homicide.
