Daniel Lee Munoz, 71, appeared in Reno Justice Court Jan. 15, on charges of Open Murder. During the Mandatory Status Conference, Munoz appeared with retained attorney Orrin Johnson, who requested a 45-day continuance to allow time to review discovery documents. 

Johnson informed Judge Kendra Bertschy that the defense would likely be requesting a bail hearing to address his client’s custodial status prior to the next hearing. Munoz is currently in custody at Washoe County jail with bail of $5 million, bondable only, reduced from $10 million.

Should Munoz post bail, he is ordered to have no contact with his minor children until a court reaches a decision regarding those issues. He must surrender his passport and consent, to GPS monitoring prior to release. Further, he may not possess any weapons or firearms.

Munoz, long time Fallon resident, is accused of killing his 40-year-old wife at their Reno home, and burying her body in the yard of their Fallon residence on Rio Drive. He is next scheduled to appear March 5 at 1:30 in Reno Justice Court.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
