The murder case of Bianca Rudolph

Larry and Bianca Rudolph were on a hunting trip in Zambia in October 2016. On the morning of October 11 Bianca was found dead with a shotgun wound.

Larry asserted that the killing was an accident, claiming the gun had jumped while Bianca was packing it. The local authority had passed it as an accidental case, but the U.S. authority didn't.

An investigation found inconsistency in Larry's version of events and indications of foul play. Larry explained that it was an accidental discharge of a shotgun while Bianca was putting it inside its case, but there were inconsistencies in his statements.

For instance, the angle of the gunshot wound didn't match what Larry had described in the accident. Moreover, ballistic experts testified that the gun could not, under any circumstances, have gone off accidentally, as Larry described.

The investigation and trial

U.S. investigators found out that Larry had purchased several life insurance policies on his wife, totaling nearly $5 million. They also found evidence of his affair with Lori Milliron.

The prosecution concluded that Larry Rudolph killed Bianca to collect the insurance money and to be with Lori.

The evidence presented included financial records, testimonies and forensic analysis, and Larry Rudolph was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and mail fraud in 2023. For the fraud charges, he incurred extra penalties.

Larry was found to have a big financial motivation for killing Bianca. The prosecution also presented strong testimony about Larry's affair with Lori Milliron, suggesting that he wanted to get rid of Bianca to be with Lori.

That eventually led to Larry's conviction, providing some measure of justice for Bianca's family.
