Jim Dunaway
Dunaway was a beast at 6’5” 280 pounds. He was one of the players in the 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins team, lucky man. Sadly in 1998, Jim’s wife, Nonniel Dunaway was found dead in a swimming pool. The autopsy showed she had a fractured skull and was unconscious prior to being put in the swimming pool. Jim was obviously the prime suspect for the murder and was later arrested. However, the grand jury believed there was not enough evidence for an indictment, so Jim walked away with no consequence. Then, in 2002 his own children filed civil wrongful death charges against him and received damages to the order of $500,000.
