00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Lay Down with the Dog,

2
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: Wake Up with a flea. Truer words were never spoken

3
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: in the last days. The mistress of a prominent dentist

4
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: and a big game hunter is jailled for seventeen years.

5
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: Why because Laurie mill Iron, the mistress of the dentist,

6
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: did everything she could to murder the wife of Larry Rudolph.

7
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thanks for being

8
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: with us here at Foxxination and Serious adem one eleven.

9
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: That's right, all you women out there dating cheating husbands,

10
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: take a listen. The girlfriend of a married dentist and

11
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: big game hunter that traveled all over the world to

12
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: shoot animals dead and stuffed them, who fatally shot his

13
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: wife of thirty four years. A wife of thirty four

14
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: years takes the wife on an African safari and kills her.

15
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: And now the mistress gets seventeen years behind bars as

16
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: an accessory to murder. How did the whole thing unfold

17
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: and what does the mistress have to do with it?

18
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, you think of dentists being meek and mild mannered,

19
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: think again. Listen to this.

20
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: Nine at life insurance Policies totally more than four point

21
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: eight million dollars could be a possible motive for murder.

22
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Doctor Lawrence Rudolph ran through.

23
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: Rivers Gental for decades, but he's now charged by federal

24
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: agents for allegedly scheming to defraud life insurance companies after

25
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: his wife was shot and killed on a big game

26
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: hunting trip in Zambia more than five years ago. In

27
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: a detailed twenty three page complaint, the fence say they

28
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: believe Lawrence murdered his wife, Bianca, with premeditation in such

29
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: a manner that he could falsely claim the death was

30
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: the result of an accident. The claims don't come as

31
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: shocking for Lisa Stanley, who used to work for doctor

32
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: Rudolph in his Green Tree office kind of something.

33
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: I wasn't surprised. As soon as I saw the name,

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: I knew exactly who it was, and I thought to myself, yeah,

35
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: I'm not like that surprised.

36
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Former employees we talked to didn't know Bianca personally, but

37
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: said Lawrence's behavior in the office was alarming.

38
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: I've never been afraid to go to a job until

39
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: this one.

40
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: You know.

41
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: I just was very uncomfortable, very uneasy around him.

42
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: Wow, when people are afraid to go to work, afraid

43
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: of the dentist. So how did Bianca if As Rudolph

44
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: end up dead his wife of thirty four years, That's

45
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: the question. And we often hear of men taking their

46
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: wives or girlfriends on an exotic trip and then somehow

47
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: the girl ends up dead and the man lives. What

48
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: do we know about their trip, their exotic trip to Zambia.

49
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to commit a crime, that's

50
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: a long way from home to do it. Take a

51
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: listen to our cut three A my longtime friend and

52
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: Collie Jim Ray at Inside Edition.

53
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 5: On the last day of their two week trip, a

54
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 5: gunshot was heard coming from their cabin. Bianca Rudolph was

55
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 5: found dead with a gunshot wound to the chest. According

56
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 5: to the criminal complaint, Her dentist husband told Zambian police

57
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 5: he believed his wife had accidentally shot herself with her

58
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: twelve gage shotgun while she was packing up the weapon.

59
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: The dentists came under suspicion and after a US empathy

60
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 5: official said he believed that the distance between the muzzle

61
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 5: of the shotgun and Bianca's chest was approximately six point

62
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: five to eight feet. According to the criminal complaint. If true,

63
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: it would make an accidental shooting unlikely.

64
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: Which opens up a whole can of worms about how

65
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: do you commit suicide with a long gun? Now, believe

66
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: it or not, I've seen a few cases like that

67
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: where the person sits down with their legs extended straight

68
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: out in front of them, like on the floor. They

69
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: point the rifle toward them, the long gun, and they

70
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: actually pull the trigger with their toe. Yes, it's happened,

71
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: but how I mean, how else can you commit suicide

72
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: with a long gun? Or they can caught some type

73
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: of a string or pulley apparatus, so they can pull

74
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: the trigger at themselves with a string, for example, But

75
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: holding a long gun in your hand and shooting yourself,

76
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: that's really hard to do. So how did these two meet?

77
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: To start with? Take a listen to our friends at

78
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: crimeonline dot com. This is Jackie Howard and our cut a.

79
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Beyonca. Rudolph meet while Rudolph is in dental school.

80
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Bianca is an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh. The

81
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: couple mary in nineteen eighty two, around the same time

82
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: that Lawrence starts a dental firm Beyonca Rudolph joins her

83
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: husband working in the practice. In two thousand and six,

84
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: Rudolph separates from his partners, forming a new dental group,

85
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: three Rivers Dental. In twenty fourteen, the couple moved to Arizona,

86
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: but keep the practices in Pennsylvania. Their net worth about

87
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: eight million dollars. When they aren't working, the couple likes

88
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: to travel worldwide and hunt, especially in Africa. Both Lawrence

89
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: and Bianca are well respected international hunters, with Bianca occasionally

90
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: undertaking excursions without her husband. They become active members of

91
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: Safari Club intern, a prominent hunting organization, with Lawrence serving

92
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: at one time as the club's president. Okay, the way

93
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: I was raised, you don't shoot anything you're not going

94
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: to eat. So I'm just wondering about all the hunting

95
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: at Don't get me wrong. I believe and the right

96
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: to bear arms. While I support gun control in many cases,

97
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: being a victim of gun violence to go hunting is

98
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: covered in the Constitution. And that's not what we're arguing about.

99
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: We're arguing about murder. With me an all star panel

100
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,599

113
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: and that's just a tiny portion of his resume. But

114
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: first to Alexis Terrestcheate joining me crimeonline dot com investigative reporter.

115
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, Alexis, we've covered so many cases where the

116
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: woman ends up dead and the man miraculously survives the scenario.

117
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: And also, Alexis, we've covered a lot of cases where

118
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: the deaths of these women happen either on the high

119
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: seas or in another country, some little island that meaning

120
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: people have only heard of and can barely find on

121
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: a map. But you know, to commit a crime in

122
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: another country, a murder, when you pick a country that

123
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: has let's just say an underdeveloped police department. Let's say

124
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: this is not the NYPD Homicide Task Force investigating this

125
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: in Zambia. I'm putting the cart before the horses. I

126
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: love to call you on an Alexis test, Chuck, why

127
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: don't we start at the beginning, Tell me everything, don't

128
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: leave anything out, Alexis.

129
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: Okay. So Laurence and Bianca, as you said, they have

130
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 4: been hunting for decades. They take a trip to Zambia.

131
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: It is about a two week trip. They leave on

132
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 4: their final day of the trip, early early in the morning.

133
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 4: They are getting ready to leave. All there in a small,

134
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: one bedroom, one bathroom cabin. All of a sudden, a

135
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 4: shot rings out. Lawrence says that his wife was in

136
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 4: the living room, he was in the bathroom. Into the

137
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 4: other room, he sees that she is on the ground bleedings.

138
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: He hears the shotgun. So the people from as you said,

139
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: you know, it's a hunting trip, it's safari. There are

140
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 4: a lot of people there. Everybody comes running to their

141
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: hut and she is on the ground. The gun, which

142
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 4: is a long barrel shotgun, is sort of tucked a

143
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: little bit into a case, like a soft sided travel case.

144
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: Slow down, tell me that part again, part of the

145
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: long gun, which is a rifle is tucked in the

146
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: carry case. Yes, I assume that would be the butt.

147
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Go ahead, so.

148
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 4: He What LAWRENCEA. Said is that she was packing up

149
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: the gun because they were getting ready to leave. He

150
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: was in the bathroom. She was packing it up and

151
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: it fired accidentally. She accidentally, somehow, somehow triggered the trigger

152
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 4: and it shot her right in the chest and knocked

153
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: her blue, her to the ground.

154
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: So from what you're telling me, she is an experienced

155
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: hunter herself, yes, and would go on safaris without him,

156
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: So she knows how to handle a gun.

157
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: Yes, And in fact, she was the only one hunting.

158
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: She was the only one hunting this time because she

159
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: wanted to kill a leopard. They had a special permit

160
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: for her to kill a leopard and shoot, so this

161
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: was her special trip to kill the leopard that was

162
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: her soul this time.

163
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Prime Stories with Nancy Grace, the wife of prominent Dennis

164
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Larry Rudolph, wife of thirty four years, the mother two

165
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: children by Rudolph, shot in the heart by her own husband,

166
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: Lawrence Rudolph, while the two were away on a hunting

167
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: trip in Zambia. Now Rudolph claimed his wife accidentally shot

168
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: herself while she was packing to head back home. That's right, Rudolph,

169
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: I guess your wife was packing her scope and her

170
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: long gun in her suitcase when she shot herself. How

171
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: do you shoot yourself.

172
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 6: With a long gun anyway?

173
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: I guess you'd have to pull the trigger with your

174
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: toe or set up a very elaborate self shooting process.

175
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 6: Well, that didn't happen. He did it. He did it.

176
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: But then, to make matters the worse, the high profile

177
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: dentist out of Pennsylvania then fraudulently claimed four point eight

178
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: million dollars in life insurance payouts.

179
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 6: According to the FBI.

180
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Now, his bottle blonde mistress, Lorie Milron is looking at

181
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: hard jail time for helping in this scheme so her

182
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: lover could collect millions of dollars of life insurance. You know,

183
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: there's a special place in h double l for those

184
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: that kill.

185
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 6: For pecuniary or money interest.

186
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, that is very often an

187
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: aggravating circumstance that can lead a murder from being a

188
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: simple homicide to a death penalty case lying in wait

189
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: or murder for a pecuniary or money interest. And that's

190
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: exactly what happened here. Now. Of course, this woman, the mistress,

191
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: tells the judge she's innocent, but the judge announced the

192
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: lengthy sentence was well deserved based on the fact that

193
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: mill Iron encouraged the heinous act.

194
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 6: According to the.

195
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 7: Evidence, Bianca Rudolph was shot in the chest, the bullet

196
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 7: coming from her personal shotgun. Lawrence Rudolph told the Zambian

197
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 7: police he had been in the bathroom when he heard

198
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 7: the gun shot. Rudolph said he found his wife lying

199
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 7: on the ground bleeding and believed that the gun had

200
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 7: gone off while Bianca Rudolph was trying to pack it

201
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 7: into its case. Lawrence Rudolph said he believed the gun

202
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 7: was still loaded from the previous days hunt still loaded.

203
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, any expert marksman does not leave a gun loaded,

204
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: much less pointed towards yourself when it's loaded. Enter doctor

205
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Tim Gallagher. You know they're now a medical examiner. I

206
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: told you about earlier the medical examiner for the entire

207
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: state off Florida, Doctor Gallagher, could you put in regular

208
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: people talk, Dr Gallagher, what is a trajectory path?

209
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 8: Well, a trajectory path is the path or the track

210
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 8: that the bullet takes when it exits the muzzle of

211
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 8: the firearm. You know, in this case we're talking about

212
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 8: a shotgun, and a shotgun is different than a handgun

213
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 8: and a rifle. In a rifle and a handgun, when

214
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 8: you pulled it trigger once, one bullet comes out of

215
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 8: the firearm. A shotgun is different when you pull the

216
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 8: trigger once. In a shotgun, many many bullets or projectiles

217
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 8: or lead shot come out of the shotgun all at once,

218
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 8: and they come out in a very clustered, tight pattern,

219
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 8: kind of like a bunch of grapes, and then as

220
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 8: they fly through the air, they just spread apart a

221
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 8: little bit more. And judging by how much the projectile

222
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 8: spread apart, you can determine how far those that lead

223
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 8: traveled after it left the gun and hit the body.

224
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 8: So you can determine the range of fire from the

225
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 8: bullet wound or the projectile wounds and your knowledge of ballistics,

226
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 8: so this the area of forensic called ballistics, and this

227
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 8: is typically what they do on a daily basis, check

228
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 8: for range of fire, how far was the victim from

229
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 8: the gun when the gun was discharged.

230
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: Doctor Gallagher, what you just said was like an aria.

231
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 9: It was just.

232
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: Beautiful. I feel like the Mormon Tabernacle choir just let

233
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: loose in this studio. Thank you, Nancy, Thank you listening

234
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: you talk all day long. I bet Jerry's love you.

235
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 8: Come on to come on down to the conference.

236
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: Phrase what you just said and tell me if I've

237
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: got it right. So, with a shot gun, which is

238
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: unlike a rifle or handgun, it's a long gun. It

239
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: shoots out a spray of buttshot, and the closer you

240
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: are to the muzzle, the tighter together the pellets will be.

241
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: The further away ere you get more of the spray,

242
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: it will be a wider gunshot one correct, the sprite

243
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: will be much wind pattern.

244
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 8: You're absolutely right.

245
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: And I guess you would also look for stippling, which

246
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: should be burning on the scan if the muzzle the

247
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: gun is contact, and you would look for gunshot residue

248
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: on the victim's hands. Jump in.

249
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 8: You're right, I mean that's true. But one thing we

250
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 8: have to know here is that the gun may have

251
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 8: been fired through the gun case, and if there's an

252
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 8: intermediary target, the range of fire distance becomes less precise.

253
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 8: You have to adjust to was the gun shot through

254
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 8: the case, what was the case made of cannabis? Was

255
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 8: it made of plastic? Could have been metal in the case.

256
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 8: So all those would affect the range of fire, and

257
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 8: that has to be determined into your equation.

258
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: And it would defuse the pellace understood. I don't have

259
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: any evidence that the gun came pe was shot in

260
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: any way, Jackie know. So, wow, this is quite the

261
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: the You know this, This woman should have been a

262
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: contortionist for the circus because she somehow managed to get

263
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: the butt end of the shotgun in that I'll just say,

264
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: leather carrying pouch or canvas, whatever it was, and shoot

265
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: herself before the muzzle could be put in. Well, that's

266
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: certainly a feat. Lisa M. Daddio for a police lieutenant

267
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: and Haven PD, now Director Center for Advanced Policing. Lisa Daddio,

268
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: how many suicides have you seen with a long gun? None?

269
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 10: It's not It's very difficult to do given a lot

270
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 10: of different things. The length of the barrel, just how

271
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 10: long you would need to be unless you rig it

272
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 10: somehow in order to kill yourself. And so in twenty

273
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 10: years of doing investigations and whether it was me or

274
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 10: the people that worked for me, we never had a

275
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 10: single case.

276
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: Wow, never never once, never once. When you say it

277
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: would be difficult to rig it to commit suicide with

278
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,239
Speaker 1: a long gun, how could it be done? You know?

279
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 10: There are well documented cases where people prop it up

280
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 10: in such a way where they like put a string

281
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 10: on the trigger and then they pull the string in

282
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 10: order to kill themselves theoretically causing the gun to go off.

283
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 10: That's been kind of the most common, and then there's

284
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 10: been other like contraptions that they actually make because they're

285
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 10: so determined on killing themselves via a shotgun, which, as

286
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 10: you can imagine, causes catastrophic, permanent and death injuries no

287
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 10: matter where you get it. If you get it center

288
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 10: mass and up, you know, your body, parts of your

289
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 10: or shredded. So those that are really kind of set

290
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 10: on killing themselves utilizing a long gun, a shotgun, her

291
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 10: rifle have designed ways to do it versus where it

292
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 10: would be just much easier with a handgun. But you

293
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 10: can survive with a handgun.

294
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: You know. Another factor, Lisa Daddio, is that the victim

295
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: in this case, Bianca, is only five to four.

296
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 10: So even then it makes it much more difficult. I mean,

297
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 10: unless she has like these super you know, not human

298
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 10: arms that are four feet long. How the heck is

299
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 10: she killing herself and hitting herself in the chest.

300
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 6: Again. I can't say it enough.

301
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: Lay down with a dog, wake up with the flea.

302
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: That's exactly what mill Iron did when she launched into

303
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: a sex affair with a married dentist, a married dennist

304
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: of thirty four years and two children. But at trial,

305
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: when graphic images were shown and the family's painful testimony

306
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: came out, the judge denounced that mill Iron. The judge

307
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: announced mill Iron seemed remorseless. She didn't care about the

308
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: photos of a dead body. She didn't care about the

309
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: family's suffering and pain. She's also convicted of false misleading

310
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: testimony to a grand jury about the money and her

311
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 1: relationship with Rudolph Well. I can tell you what that is,

312
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: sex sex. The lawyer for mil Iron claimed the prison

313
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: sentence was excessive. You know what I think, I think

314
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: she and her lover should go to jail when the

315
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: victim gets out of her coffin there?

316
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 6: What about that?

317
00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: The victim Bionca children united in the courtroom with heartbreaking testimony,

318
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: and they told their father's mistress how she destroyed their family.

319
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: The daughter Anna Rudolph, testified that mel Iron plotted to

320
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: eliminate her mother. As a matter of fact, the daughter

321
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: Bianca's daughter Anna said, and I quote Laurie, you have

322
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: taken my parents, but despite everything you've done, you will

323
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: never take my soul. That might be difficult to understand, Laurie,

324
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: because you don't have one. Wow.

325
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 6: That had to her?

326
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: Oh wait, according to the judge, it didn't, because the

327
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: mistress seemingly had no remorse whatsoever. A jury of six

328
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: men and six women sided with prosecutors who stated the

329
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: dentist's pre planned to murder his wife in cold blood

330
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: then launch a new life with mell Iron, his longtime mistress.

331
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: She mill Iron was also found guilty by that very

332
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: same jury of being an accessory after the fact to murder,

333
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: obstruction of a grand jury, and two counts of perjury

334
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: before the grand jury.

335
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 6: How did the whole thing unfold?

336
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: He wanted his wife's body cremated immediately. I know that

337
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: Nicole de Board hots Glow, former prosecutor, now high profile

338
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: defense attorney out of Houston. We claim this means absolutely nothing.

339
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: The fact that he wanted his wife's body cremated right

340
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: there in Zambia. Forget about bringing her body home for

341
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: a burial. Uh uh, he wanted to bring her back

342
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: in a plastic bag. Okay, take a listen at our

343
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: cut sea again our friends at crime Online.

344
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 7: Lawrence Rudolph called the US Embassy in Zambia while discussing

345
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 7: funeral options. Rudolph tells official that he wants Bianca Rudolph's

346
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 7: body cremated. She is Just three days after the shooting,

347
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 7: the US Embassy's consular chief alerted the FBI, saying he

348
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 7: thought the situation was moving too quickly, so the chief,

349
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 7: along with two embassy officials, traveled to a local funeral

350
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 7: home to take photos of the body to preserve evidence.

351
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 7: During the funeral home visit, doctor Rudolph suggested that Bianca

352
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 7: may have committed suicide. The funeral home visit troubled embassy officials.

353
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 7: The consular chief, a twenty year US Marine veteran told investigator,

354
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 7: said the angle of the wound was straight on the heart,

355
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: not angled, as it would be from a self inflicted

356
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 7: shot from a long arm. The chief also pointed out

357
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 7: that the wound did not appear to be caused by

358
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 7: a tight group of pellets. When a shotgunfire's bookshot the

359
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 7: pellets spread out as they traveled to a target up closed,

360
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 7: the pellets would be tight. There were also no gas

361
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 7: burns on the body, which are typical for gunshot wounds

362
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 7: at point blank or near point blank range. The consular

363
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 7: chief also noted that Bianca had a second injury to

364
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 7: the chest, caused by wanting from a shotgun cartridge.

365
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: Now it's really interesting that he immediately wants his wife cremated. Now,

366
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: Nickel Deboord Hotchclobe, you yourself are the one that told

367
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: me that she was Catholic. Now, what does that have

368
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: to do with anything.

369
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 9: Well, her friends and family say that that is not

370
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 9: what she would have wanted, that she would not have

371
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 9: wanted to be cremated. And I've also learned that, in fact,

372
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 9: there was a family member or a close friend of

373
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 9: the couple who tried to talk to him about not

374
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 9: having her cremated, and he persisted. So I think These

375
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 9: are going to be difficult, circumstantial pieces of evidence for

376
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 9: the defense, but they certainly don't mean that he killed

377
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 9: her on purpose.

378
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friend Royce Jones at CBS.

379
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 11: Bianca's death was ruled an accident by Zambia law enforcement

380
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 11: and that Lawrence Rudolph told police he suspected the gun

381
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 11: discharged while she was packing it into its case. We

382
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 11: reached out to doctor Rudolph's attorneys. They all say this

383
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 11: is out rages Doctor Larry Rudolph loved his wife of

384
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 11: thirty four years and did not kill her. They go

385
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 11: on to say that the government is seeking to manufacture

386
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 11: a case against this well respected and law abiding dentist.

387
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: Straight out to Alexis Terestschuk with Crime online dot Com. So,

388
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: Alexis terestschach they had been married thirty four years? Is

389
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: that correct?

390
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 4: They had thirty four years. They had two children together.

391
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 4: One of their adult children actually worked in the dental

392
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 4: practice with dad with Larry Wow.

393
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: Okay, well, surprise, surprise, surprise, As my friend Gomer Pyle

394
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: would say, take a listen to our cut three me

395
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: Jim Murray with Inside Edition.

396
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 5: The investigation was launched after a friend of Bianca's told

397
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 5: the FBIID she suspected foul play because doctor Rudolph was

398
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 5: allegedly having an affair with the manager of his dental

399
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 5: office outside Pittsburgh. The dentist's alleged mistress reportedly gave him

400
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 5: an ultimatum of one year to sell his dental offices

401
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 5: and leave Bianca.

402
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: An ultimatum, Alexis Terreschuk, did you leave a little one

403
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: of the facts out an ultimatum a mistress that he

404
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: works with? I mean, really, could somebody just surprised me

405
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: one time and and not be the secretary or the assistant.

406
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: I remember one case, a husband's having a midlife crisis

407
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: and he starts an affair with the cashier and the

408
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: G and C where he's buying all sorts of vitamin

409
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: supplements to enhance his manhood. You know, surprised me for

410
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: one time for Pete's sake, Alexis a sex affair.

411
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 4: And it wasn't just for a month or two. It

412
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 4: was about a decade. And in fact, he and this girlfriend,

413
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 4: they traveled out of the country all the time. They

414
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: would constantly go to Pablo San Lucas. They went in

415
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 4: twenty ten, they went twice in twenty eleven. They went

416
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: again in twenty thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and in July twenty

417
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: sixteen before Bianca's jests just a few months later, and

418
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 4: then after she died, just a few short months after

419
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: she died. Three months after she died, they went back

420
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 4: to Cabo again. He and the girlfriend was there. Was

421
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: barely a blip of time where he wasn't where he

422
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 4: was mourning his wife dying.

423
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: Tell me that timeline one more time again.

424
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: So Lawrence, doctor Rudolph and the girlfriend. They traveled to

425
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: Cabo San Lucas, which is in Mexico. Beautiful, beautiful resort

426
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 4: on the west coast, very nice. They went in twenty ten,

427
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 4: then they went twice in twenty eleven. They went again

428
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: together in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, and then

429
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: in July of twenty sixteen, just months before Beyonca's October

430
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen deaths, they went to Coabo Stan Lucas. Then

431
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 4: again in February of twenty seventeen.

432
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: That's right after she's killed, you die, yes, like three

433
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: months after she's dead, he takes his mistress to Cabo. Okay,

434
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Doctor Joy Crasin, we need a shrink? What is wrong

435
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: with men? Don't they think we'll notice he's taking his

436
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: mistress on an international trip while his wife was just killed.

437
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 12: That's easy to track too, and looking at his thought processes?

438
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: What's wrong with men? That was my question?

439
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 8: Oh well, we're just.

440
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: Why don't you just do what my husband does? I've

441
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: actually given up asking this. When he does something, I

442
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: say what he's wrong with you? And he goes to everything.

443
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: And when he says that, I'm kind of like, there's

444
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: nowhere I can go with that and have to stop.

445
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: It ruins the whole argument everything. I mean, this guy

446
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: is a dentist for Pete's sake? Or is Alexis Tereschuk

447
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: keeps calling him doctor Rudolph, And he doesn't think we're

448
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: going to find out about the sex at the dentist office.

449
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: Oh okay, whoa whoa whoa sex at the dentist office.

450
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: I wish I hadn't even said that. I didn't know

451
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: those three words to be put together, sex and dentist

452
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: office forwards. Oh anything would find out about that, joy grasin.

453
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 12: I don't think he really cared because if you look

454
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 12: at how long he had been doing it and getting

455
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 12: away with.

456
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: It ten years?

457
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

458
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Is that right, Alexis.

459
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 12: Ten years a routine behavior for him.

460
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: Yep, almost a decade at least. They started traveling that

461
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: Kabos me Lucas in twenty ten, but they could have

462
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 4: been it may have been longer. That one of his

463
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 4: other employees who left said that the person, the woman,

464
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: confessed that they had been together for between fifty to

465
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: twenty years, which is almost ton't you know, his entire

466
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 4: time that he was.

467
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: Married, they had been married for thirty four years? What

468
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: did he have a misstress on day one? Alexis?

469
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 4: I mean it seems like, well, I don't know if

470
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: he had a different mistress, but this one was very

471
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 4: soon after.

472
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: And can you tell me? Is it true that within

473
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: twelve months, in less than twelve months, he moves her

474
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: into the marital home. Is this true?

475
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: Yes, that is what the investigat determined, And in fact,

476
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 4: people were calling her his new wife. They say they're

477
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: not quite sure if they ever got married, but she

478
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 4: definitely was living with him.

479
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: So in less than a year he's moved her into

480
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: the home and within a couple of months he's taking

481
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: her off for another sex soaked trip to Cabo Wow,

482
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: jury's gonna love that. We're trying to find out more.

483
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: Was it just sex that was the motive? Take a

484
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: listen to our cut to a Melanie Gillespie at NBC.

485
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: Former employees we talked to didn't know Bianca personally, but

486
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: said Lawrence's behavior in the office was alarming.

487
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: I've ever been afraid to go to a job until

488
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: this one.

489
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: You know.

490
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: I just was very uncomfortable, very uneasy around him.

491
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: The FBI said the embassy in Zambia grew suspicious and

492
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: looked into Beyonca's death. FBI agents found those life insurance

493
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: policies were adjusted and updated just a few months before

494
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: their hunting trip. The agent said the primary beneficiary of

495
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 2: each of these policies was a revocable trust established by

496
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: the RUDOLPHS. Honor about April twenty fifth, twenty sixteen. The

497
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: terms of that trust made Lawrence the ultimate beneficiary. Witness

498
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: has told investigators Lawrence was having extramarital affairs, allegedly with

499
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: a former office manager who moved in with him in

500
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: January of twenty seventeen, just months after Beyonca's death.

501
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Not only that, Take a listen to our cut e

502
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: from Crime online dot Com.

503
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 7: After Beyonca Rudolph died, a friend contacted the FBI in Pretoria,

504
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 7: South Africa, suggesting that Beyonca's death was foul play. The

505
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 7: friend claimed that Lawrence Rudolph was verbally abusive and the

506
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 7: couple had fought over money. What's more, she claimed Lawrence

507
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 7: Rudolph was having an affair. She also pointed out that

508
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 7: Beyonca Rudolph was a strict Catholic and would not have

509
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 7: wanted to be cremated.

510
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: Would not have wanted to be cremated, And what better

511
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: place to commit a murder than far far away from home?

512
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: What about at least foreign police Lieutenant now director of

513
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: the Center for Advanced Policing. Why is it when couples

514
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: go away suddenly the woman ends up dead and the

515
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: husband makes it.

516
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 10: Home easier to get away with in countries Like I

517
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 10: hate to say, but in certain countries it's so much

518
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 10: easier to get away with that type of crime.

519
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: Why do you hate to say? It is true because

520
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: their police forces are not used to investigating homicides. It's

521
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: just that simple. Like where I grew up in Bibb County,

522
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: out in the middle of Middle Georgia, there were many

523
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: less homicides than are in New York City or in

524
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: inner city Atlanta. The reality is detectives are trained in

525
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: the field, and when they don't see a lot of

526
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: complicated homicides, then they don't know how to investigate them.

527
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: It's just it's not a slight in any way. It's reality,

528
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: Lisa Daddio.

529
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 10: You're right, Nancy, and so that's why we're seeing it

530
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 10: happen outside of the United States. Laws are different, penalties

531
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 10: are different, investigative techniques are different, and in this case,

532
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 10: it was believed he got away with murder.

533
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just thinking about the way this whole

534
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: thing went down. Take a listen to our.

535
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 7: Cut d The consular chief estimated that Bianca Rudolph had

536
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 7: been shot from between six and a half and eight

537
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 7: feet away. A separate inquiry by a Colorado medical examiner

538
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 7: concluded that it would be physically impossible to accidentally fire

539
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 7: the shotgun in its carrying case and produce an entrance

540
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 7: defect noted on the body of Bianca Rudolph. The medical

541
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 7: examiner determined the tip of the carrying case was at

542
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 7: least two feet away from Bianca Rudolph when it discharged.

543
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 7: What's more, at just five feet four inches tall, it

544
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 7: would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for Bianca Rudolph

545
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 7: to reach the trigger of the weapon, even if it

546
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 7: was placed in the case with the muzzle pressed against

547
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 7: her chest.

548
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Think about what the wife,

549
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: Bianca went through. She was shot with a Browning shotgun

550
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: in a cabin far away from home in Zambia, just

551
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: as the couple were planning to come home. It was

552
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: around five am October eleven. Gamekeepers and scouts hear a

553
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: gunshot come from the cabin. When they get there, they

554
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: find Beyonca lying on the ground with a gunshot wound

555
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: to the chest. Now, of course, the husband claimed she

556
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: did it to herself it was an accident, but prosecutors

557
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: claimed Rudolph murdered his wife to be with mill Iron,

558
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: who would bend his mistress for twenty years? Can you

559
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: believe this? He says he was in an open marriage,

560
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: as I tell my husband, open marriage, open casket. David Lynch. No,

561
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: this woman did not know anything about any open marriage.

562
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: And now she's dead and the mistress is heading to

563
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: jail where she needs to be What exactly happened between

564
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: the longtime sex affair with the office manager and the

565
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: money motive millions of dollars and the forensics. I'm just

566
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: surprised that it was initially ruled to be accidental. How

567
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: did that happen?

568
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 4: Well, there were the investigation was very quickly ended. You know,

569
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 4: he's a very very wealthy man who's obviously been going

570
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 4: on these trips for years and years.

571
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: Do you know how rich people are, The more money

572
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: they have, the more they don't want to share it.

573
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 4: And he well, he did kind of share his money

574
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 4: a little bit, because a witness has come forward and

575
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: said that he was actually paying bribes to people in

576
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 4: Zambia who expedite the cremation of his wife.

577
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: Did it work well, did yes?

578
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 4: She got she got cremated very quickly, and so she

579
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: and it would have just nothing would have happened. But

580
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 4: the US Embassy, that the person that was contacted in

581
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 4: the US Embassy was very concerned that this was happening

582
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 4: so quickly. So the embassy sent someone to the funeral

583
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 4: home to take pictures of her body. And in fact

584
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 4: they got these photos and these are what are being

585
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 4: used now as prous because and he was curious when

586
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 4: this happened. The officer in fact that he was quote

587
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: livid that the embassy staff had taken photos and.

588
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 9: In the investator of his wife's dead body.

589
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: How did it go again, Alexis Tereshak. The funeral home

590
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: gets the body and then what happens.

591
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 4: Well, so the doctor called the embassy and said, my

592
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 4: wife has died. And then he's like, I need to

593
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: get her out of the country really quickly. So I'm

594
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 4: very concerned, you know. The consular chief at the embassy

595
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: said Lawrence identified himself. He said she died of a gunshot.

596
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 4: And then he said, you know, we got to get

597
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: her cremated and out of here very quickly, which seemed.

598
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: A little suspicious.

599
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 4: So the consoler chiefs called the funeral home, and then

600
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 4: the funeral home said, we are scheduling the cremation for

601
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 4: the next day. But this raised the flag for the

602
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 4: embassy employee. He said this he had a bad feeling

603
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 4: about this. He just thought it was going too quickly.

604
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 4: After having a conversation with Larry, who said, you know,

605
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 4: let's go, let's go, let's get it, get her cremated,

606
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 4: let's get her out of here. And so he decided

607
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 4: to take it upon himself, and he took two other

608
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 4: employees from the embassy and they went to the funeral

609
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 4: home and they took the photos.

610
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: And so I'm understanding that the husband, the dentist, was furious.

611
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: You said that also.

612
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 4: Yes, he was quote the livid that they had taken

613
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 4: the pictures of her and the consular chief he said,

614
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: come to the embassy. I will meet with you, but

615
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 4: he declined. And so the interesting thing was the dentist

616
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 4: was complaining. He was thinking, it's so good, it's going

617
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 4: to be so hard to take the body back to

618
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 4: the United States. You must you need a leadlined coffin

619
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 4: to do so, and it was a very difficult and

620
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 4: very expensive, and that's why he just wanted to get

621
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: her cremated. But they investigated. He has taken many of

622
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 4: these large game animals back to the United States and

623
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: they have to be transported in a similar fashion. You

624
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 4: can't just stick them in your overnight bag and stick

625
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: them in the cabin of the airplane. So he is

626
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 4: very familiar with dealing with this and it's you know,

627
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 4: it's not easy, but certainly if you wanted to take

628
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 4: your wife's body home, them so that your children could

629
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: see them before you cremate mommy, that that was something

630
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 4: that could happen. But he was complaining, saying it was

631
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: much too complicated and difficult, even though he'd been doing

632
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 4: it for decades with animals.

633
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: Alexis terresha crimeonline dot Com. Isn't it true that he

634
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: allegedly also paid at least one tour guide to state

635
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: as a witness how the tour guide saw the body

636
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: and their bungalow.

637
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 4: Yes, that is what it claimed that he paid this

638
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 4: tour guide to say that she was on the ground

639
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 4: that the gun was facing and it was just a

640
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 4: few feet away from her.

641
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: Starting around, money doesn't seem to be helping him. Speaking

642
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 1: of money, you know, the smarter people are, you'd think

643
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: the better they could cover their tracks. Not necessarily true.

644
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: Take a listen to Royce Jones CBS are cut.

645
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 11: Four federal investigators alleged Rudolph killed his wife and had

646
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 11: her cremated in Africa in a scheme to collect millions

647
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 11: in life insurance claims tied to her death. According to

648
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 11: the criminal complaint, Rudolph allegedly made claims through seven different

649
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 11: insurance companies, totaling more than four point eight million dollars

650
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 11: in payouts. Investigators go on to say that Rudolph had

651
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 11: his attorneys use FedEx to mail claim related documents to

652
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 11: one of the insurance companies. The complaint also states the

653
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 11: earliest life insurance policy to cover Bianca was purchased around

654
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 11: nineteen eighty seven, and that the policies in which Lawrence

655
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 11: Rudolph was the primary beneficiary were updated and adjusted in

656
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 11: twenty sixteen, the same year Bianca died.

657
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, to you, Donna dor Craws in psychologist faculty

658
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: Saint Leo University, to adjust your wife's life insurance policy

659
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: just before a rifle accident in Zambia. Isn't that a

660
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: little bit too much for jury to swallow?

661
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 8: Yeah?

662
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 12: And I think also he put it in a trust

663
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 12: that he controlled. I mean again thinking like you know,

664
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 12: I would consider him, thinking that he's considering he's covering

665
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 12: his tracks by putting it in a trust. Yet you

666
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 12: know the trust is under his total control.

667
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: Anti clousen to our cut one a our friend, Sheldon

668
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: Ingram at Pittsburgh Action News.

669
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 13: In twenty sixteen, It says Rudolph killed his wife, Bianca

670
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 13: Rudolph during an African Safari in Zambia. He told authorities

671
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 13: it was an accidental shooting, as Bianca packed away a

672
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 13: shotgun and went off, but forensic analysis, they say, do

673
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 13: not match that story. And investigators also say Rudolph collective

674
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 13: four point eight million dollars in life insurance after his

675
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 13: wife's death. Those policies were updated the same year before

676
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 13: her death, in October of twenty sixteen. Investigators also say

677
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 13: they were told by a friend of Rudolph's wife that

678
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 13: he had an active affair with another woman at the

679
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 13: time of Bianca's death.

680
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, to Nicole Devard Hodgeglove joining us from Houston.

681
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: The reality is, while this seems very nefarious, how hard

682
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: is it going to be to prove all of this

683
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: ballistics without a body and without the appropriate investigative photos

684
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: and measurements.

685
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 9: That's a great point, And the reality is that I

686
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 9: think this is where the defense team has its strongest argument.

687
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 9: They don't have the ability to go back and analyze

688
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 9: the forensics because there were no forensics.

689
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 4: There were a few photographs.

690
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 9: In photographs can really look different based on perspective, and

691
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 9: that's why you'll see in the complaint the FBI has

692
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 9: spent such a huge amount of time going back and

693
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 9: trying to reconstruct these photographs still though the data just

694
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 9: can never be there.

695
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our cut five from Pittsburgh Action

696
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: News Tom Garris.

697
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 14: A federal grand jury is charging the owner of three

698
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 14: Rivers Dental with foreign murder and mail fraud. The FBI

699
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 14: claiming that Lawrence Rudolph killed his wife in twenty sixteen

700
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 14: on that hunting trip in Zambia in order to collect

701
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 14: nearly five million dollars in life insurance money. Now, the

702
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 14: FBI also says the owner of the dental practice had

703
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 14: a long time relationship with a manager.

704
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: At the practice.

705
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 14: That woman is said to have given Rudolph and ultimatum

706
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 14: to sell the dental offices and to leave his wife,

707
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 14: Bianca within a year.

708
00:42:55,080 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: The ultimatum, the money, the mistress, the forensics. What does

709
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: it boil down to a federal grand jury or investigation?

710
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: Does not a conviction make well? He was taken into custody? Ultimately,

711
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: take a listen to our cut one.

712
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 13: Doctor Laurence Rudolph owns three Ververs Dental and he greets

713
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 13: all callers with a recorded automated message. But tonight he

714
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 13: is in federal custody in Colorado, accused of murdering his wife.

715
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 13: No one in his five officers are talking, which includes

716
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 13: locations in Greensburg and Green Tree. His arrest is detailed

717
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 13: in a twenty one page affidavit from the FBI. It

718
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 13: details how he allegedly killed his wife to collect more

719
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 13: than four million dollars with a life insurance policy.

720
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: And that's not all. Take a listen to what the

721
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: defense says. Our cut six from KDKA.

722
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 15: Doctor Larry Rudolph's attorneys call this case manufacture, saying it's

723
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 15: so weak they're keeping a nearly seventy year old man with.

724
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: A severe heart condition in jail.

725
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 15: All is part of what they're calling an FBI witch hunt.

726
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 15: In court documents just released, attorneys claimed the couple signed

727
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 15: a prenup saying he wouldn't lose much during a divorce,

728
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 15: and also claiming his dental franchise, Three Rivers Dental, is

729
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 15: valued a close to eight million dollars. Claiming he had

730
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 15: no financial reason.

731
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 1: To kill his wife, local law.

732
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 15: Enforcement in Africa rolled it an accident and allowed for

733
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 15: cremation days after her death. Now, FBI agents believe Bianca

734
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 15: could not have physically pulled the trigger.

735
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: Investigators believe his.

736
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 15: Wife's life insurance policies, some adjusted in the months leading

737
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 15: up to her death, tell a different story, a nearly

738
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 15: five million dollar story. The dates show doctor Rudolph received

739
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 15: the money in under one month's time.

740
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: He got the money in under one month's time after

741
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: her death. And don't be feeling sorry for this guy

742
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: because he's seventy years old. He's still young enough to

743
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: take his mistress to Cabo for a six soaked weekend Again,
