While the 1983 death remained an open case in Allentown, PA, there had been no movement on it in decades and her family had not aware that the case was still considered open.
Renewed interest in the case was brought about by both the anniversary of her passing last June and Snuka openly stating his side of Argentino's passing for the first time in his autobiography, which was published last year.
According to Snuka's account, Argentino (described as his road girlfriend on the East Coast; Snuka was married at the time to his second wife) was driving him to a TV taping in Allentown when she stopped to relieve herself on the side of the road. Snuka has claimed she slipped while returning to the car and hit her head on the side of the road. They continued on to their hotel, where she complained of a headache and he left her sleeping when he left for the taping. When he returned, he realized she was having trouble breathing and called for the police. Argentino passed away hours later from complications of a head injury.
Argentino's family claims of Snuka's behavior before her passing - including an scary incident involving the couple in Upstate New York where several police officers with canine dogs had to be called to quell and arrest Snuka - as well as changes in Snuka's statements about the circumstances of Argentino's passing over the years leave at the very least, a major question mark over the hows and whys of what happened.
The Morning Call article did not note why the case was now, after all these years, going to be investigated by the grand jury.
