Rhoni and Shaun\u2019s life, however, was about to be blitzed. <\/p>\n<p>On October 4, 2007, Rhoni was getting ready to go to work when she was gunned down in her Deerfield, Illinois, home. She was a little more than a month away from giving birth to Skylar. A neighbor called police to report the gunfire, and when officers arrived, they found Rhoni dead on the kitchen floor.<\/p>\n<p>In her last living moments, Rhoni tried saving her little girl by cradling her belly, but the assailant aimed directly at Rhoni\u2019s stomach. The killer also shot Rhoni in the head.<\/p>\n<p>As detectives searched for answers, they found a piece of paper inside Rhoni\u2019s purse that listed 17 women on it, all of whom were supposedly in a relationship with Shaun. Investigators made their way through the list, trying to find the suspect, and eventually landed on Marni Yang. Shaun, the Super Bowl-winning boyfriend, was ruled out as a suspect early on.<\/p>\n<p>Police searched through Marni\u2019s trash and found receipts for items that could be used to make an at-home gun silencer. Surveillance footage even showed her buying quick-dry cement and a bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Marni confessed to killing Rhoni in a secret recording and was later arrested. She was convicted of first-degree murder and intentional homicide of an unborn child in March 2011. A judge handed her two life sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Now, years after her conviction, Marni is fighting for a new trial. Her attorneys requested a new trial, claiming they had evidence to prove she didn\u2019t kill Rhoni. Marni said her confession on the undercover video was false because she claimed police were threatening to arrest one of her kids.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2021, Marni\u2019s attorney said he found a witness allegedly claiming Shaun Gayle went to a barbershop in North Chicago and said, \u201cI did it. She\u2019s gone.\u201d  The attorney wanted the witness\u2019 name redacted, but a judge in January 2022 ruled against the motion to not publicly identify the witness.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s take a look back at the case of a playboy boyfriend and the tragic ending of his girlfriend and their unborn daughter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nSubscribe to True Crime Daily Podcasts <\/p>\n<p>APPLE PODCASTS: https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/true-crime-daily-the-podcast\/id1451999167<\/p>\n<p>SPOTIFY: https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5MCQgSSVQEPB6ME2jSy9u2?si=1ca538f3500848a4<\/p>\n<p>STITCHER:https:\/\/listen.stitcher.com\/yvap\/?af_dp=stitcher:\/\/show\/370858&#038;af_web_dp=https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/show\/370858<\/p>\n<p>GOOGLE PODCASTS: https:\/\/bit.ly\/35h5azt <\/p>\n<p>TRUE CRIME DAILY: https:\/\/truecrimedaily.com\/pages\/podcasts\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: in 2007, Rhoni Reuter was happily in a relationship with former <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":920168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43769],"class_list":{"0":"post-920167","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japanese-anime","8":"tag-super-lovers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=920167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/920168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=920167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=920167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=920167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
