On December 16, 1998, Ronda Reynolds' husband found her lifeless body with a gunshot wound to the head in her home on Twin Peaks Drive in Toledo, Washington. The death was quickly ruled a suicide. Refusing to accept the findings, Ronda’s mother, Barb Thompson, launched her own investigation. She enlisted the help of world-famous true crime writer Ann Rule, who eventually wrote the bestseller “In the Still of the Night”, about the case. Their investigation led Washington State authorities to revisit the case. “48 Hours" correspondent Peter Van Sant reports. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 12/22/2012.
