State to pay private investigator in Reynolds case

State to pay private investigator in Reynolds case: "Richard C. Reynolds will be provided with the money to hire a private investigator and a forensic psychologist to evaluate his mental state in his defense on a murder charge, according to court documents.

Reynolds, 40, is charged with shooting his estranged wife, Rhonda Wakefield-Reynolds, 37, on Jan. 12 at her brother's home on Bunker Avenue in Fairfield. She died a day later in a Bangor hospital of a single gunshot wound to the head.

The gun was a .40-caliber Hi-Point handgun.

Reynolds entered no plea to the charge at his initial appearance in Superior Court on Jan. 16.

A bail hearing was postponed Jan. 18 and the case was continued, pending the outcome of a judge's ruling on a requested mental examination."
