Lewis County Coroner Terry Wilson was ordered by a judge to change the cause of death on Ronda Reynolds' death certificate by next Monday. But Wilson is instead asking the appeals court for an emergency stay.

A judge has given the Lewis County coroner 10 days to remove the word "suicide" from the death certificate of former Washington state trooper - or else.

The word "suicide" must be removed from the death certificate of former state trooper Ronda Reynolds following a ruling by a judge on Friday. But the legal battle may not be over for the trooper's mother.

A stunning verdict in an 11year old mystery death - the jury decided unanimously that Lewis County Coroner Terry Wilson was wrong when he ruled the death of former state trooper Ronda Reynolds was suicide, adding that Wilson was "arbitrary and capricious" when he determined Reynolds committed suicide.

A man dies and his body is left for hours in a driveway. A train hits a teenager and parts of his body are left on the tracks for the family to find. And when a third man dies, his expensive electronics disappear from his locked apartment. All took place in Lewis County, and coroner Terry Wilson won't talk about what went wrong.

The trial overRonda Reynolds' death on Wednesday focused on a central character in the mystery -- the gun.

Since Ronda Reynolds died in Lewis County nearly 11 years ago, questions have swirled whether she committed suicide, or was murdered. But now, for the first time, those questions -- and the evidence surrounding the case -- are being heard by a jury.

After years of court battles on whether state trooper Ronda Reynolds committed suicide or was murdered, the Lewis County coroner now wants to "take a pass" -- a win for Reynold's mother, who believes her daughter was murdered and wants to set the record straight.

It took 11 years, but the mother of a former state trooper has scored a victory in her mission to prove that her daughter's mysterious death in 1998 was due to homicide - not suicide. A judge Friday ordered a jury to review all the evidence in the case.
