Journalist Christina Chambers, 38, and her husband, former analyst Johnny Rimes, 41, were found dead in their apartment in Alabama, where their three-year-old son was also present. According to Newsweek, the main theory is a "murder-suicide", as both had a bullet wound to the head. An official version has not yet been confirmed, as the bodies were found on Wednesday, December 17, and forensic reports are pending. The Hoover, Alabama, police department stated that a relative had requested police to check on the couple, as the relative was unable to contact them. The police department said: "While the investigation is in its early stages, it appears these deaths are the result of a murder/suicide, and there is no threat to the public related to this case." A graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), the sports journalist worked at WBRC from 2015 to 2021. She began her professional career at WLTZ NBC38 in Georgia, covering college sports. Earlier, in 2024, she was honored as 'Advisor of the Year' for her work in student journalism. She later taught television journalism at a high school in Alabama. Finally, the journalist returned to her athletic side and started running marathons again, where she also gained wide recognition.
