Shot her boyfriend, Olympic skier Spider Sabich, on March 21, 1976 at his Aspen, CO, home after he had told her to move out because she and her three children were "cramping" his lifestyle. At the sensational trial that followed, Longet claimed the gun had discharged accidentally as Sabich was showing her how it worked. However, ballistics showed that the gun's trigger had been pulled more than once. She was convicted of criminal negligence and sentenced to 30 days in jail, which she served following a vacation with her defense attorney, Ron Austin, who she later married. In 1978, she signed a confidentiality agreement with Sabich's parents after they agreed to drop a $1.3-million civil suit against her. Longet still lives in Aspen.
