Very interesting story. I had heard the story from poker players in Reno well over twenty years after the event but a much different story by then.
Tuna did have a relative with a bad drug problem. I met her one time at the Golden Gate in Vegas. I don't know if she was still on drugs then, this was in the year 2000. She told me that she and Tuna didn't get along and didn't talk.
