This is what Nikke Finke is reporting from last week some information passed to her by Allison Hope Weiner...
UPDATE: Police Have "Fairly Good Idea" Who Ordered Ronni Chasen's Hollywood Hit
A police source close to the investigation into the murder of Ronni Chasen says that police have a fairly good idea as to who employed a Hollywood hit man to shoot the longtime publicist. Although the alleged hit man killed himself last night before police could take him into custody, authorities are still making progress in their investigation of Chasen's murder. Several sources confirm that police have a working theory that Chasen's murder was related to a business deal gone bad.
Finke is known for her reliable reporting on all things Hollywood. The other woman, Weiner, is a well-known Hollywood crime reporter, whose most famous work revolves around the Anthony Pellicano case. I think the she's well-respected as well, but I am not positive, FWIW.
Thanks. It’s a very interesting case, and I look forward to it being solved. It’s gonna be a movie too, yuck.
