Marni Yang is currently serving a double life sentence at Logan Correctional Center in Lincoln, Ill. In March 2011, Yang was found guilty of "first-degree murder and intentional homicide of an unborn child in the death of Rhoni Reuter, the pregnant girlfriend of former Chicago Bears player Shaun Gayle," reported ABC 7 News.
It took the jury only three hours to convict Yang, which they attributed to a secretly taped confession entered as evidence. When police learned that Gayle was having an affair with Yang, a 43 year-old mother of three who was also his real estate agent, they reached out to one of her closest friends, per the Los Angeles Times. Christi Paschen was tasked with using a wire tap in order to get a confession from Yang.
During one conversation, Yang described the murder in grizzly detail and even explained what she did with the gun. "They are never going to get it," Yang said to Paschen. "It’s under tons and tons and tons of Chicago trash."
Assistant State’s Attorney Ari Fisz believes Yang grew more jealous and enraged when Reuter got pregnant. He pointed to the fact that Reuter used a burner phone and rented a car days before the murder. She also bought books about making gun silencers.
