Have not been on this site in years I'm willing to say no one on here knows me but I'll bring the hammer and drop the mic here. The Snuka case as always intrigued me. Here's my thoughts on it as well as a few insider pieces for you guys (note, I posted this on a different site and will just copy and paste it here).
THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG POST
Here are the facts as I know to be true.
Snuka was the one who called the police after returning from a show to "find" his girlfriend non-responsive. He gave the police a statement as well as numerous others and none of his stories were the same. He initially told the police that all he knew was that before he left for his match, she had fallen and hit her head and then she went to bed. One of his other stories was that earlier in the day, they got into an argument and he pushed her at a truck stop/rest area and she hit her head.
Regardless, the whole "Snuka played the part of a savage who didn't speak English" was partially false due to what I just stated above but as always, there is a smidgeon of truth there.
I believe it was almost a month later, the DA, police, and the coroner called Snuka in to meet with them at the DA's office and Vince, on his own accord, went in with Snuka with a briefcase and did all the talking. Vince told Snuka to just be quiet and let Vince talk. So that is there the legend of "Vince talked to the cops while Snuka acted like a savage who couldn't speak English" came from. Of course it was roughly 2 months after her death that Snuka performed his first famous flying leap onto then WWE champ Bob Backlund in June of '83. His more famous leap happened in October of '83 when he leaped off the cage onto Don Muraco.
Anyhow, after that meeting, the case went cold and nothing came out of it although the court did award his dead girlfriend's family with $500,000 in a wrongful death suit which Snuka never paid because he was able to prove he had no money as he was let go by the WWE already and owed nearly $100,000 in back taxed.
.Snuka is screwed and I'm willing to wager that he will be found guilty of at least a manslaughter charge as I doubt they'll stick with the 3rd degree murder charge along with involuntary manslaughter. Of course, Snuka could work out a plea deal but he's going down for sure because the evidence is overwhelming not to mention the fact that his ex-wife has come forward and told the authorities a different story about what happened to his girlfriend, Nancy, the night that she died. That part has yet to be released to the public and just as damning is the late Buddy Roger's wife also stated that Snuka was a violent man who beat Nancy and his own wife numerous times.
Here's a few things for those of you interested in order. Snuka went to the hospital just past midnight on May 11th. He told the police and nursing staff a few different stories, NONE OF WHICH INVOLVED HER FALLING DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I highlighted in yellow his contradicting story and getting called on it by the investigating officer.
At 9:00am May 11th, about 7.5 hours after Nancy Argentino was pronounced dead at the hospital, the police came to officially interview Snuka. Snuka told the police that she fell on the side of the road while she was peeing and was basically out of it, groggy the whole time he drove to the hotel. He told the investigating officer that she basically slept the entire day and into the early evening before he realized she may not be breathing.

Of course the officer then tells Snuka that hours earlier, Snuka told other officers as well as the hospital staff that they shoved each other and she bumped her head. He initially denies it and then says yes they did have a little shoving match but that was after Nancy already fell on the side of the road and bumped her head.

As I mentioned before, unlike alot of stuff that gets passed around, everything I have said is not hearsay or wrestling gossip but factual evidence. Have a looksee if you are interested in reading part of the original police interview
