Larry Rudolph, a 67-year-old dentist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been charged with the murder of his wife, Bianca Rudolph, during an African safari in 2016. The couple had been traveling in the country of Zambia when Bianca reportedly died from a gunshot wound. Larry claimed that she accidentally shot herself while trying to adjust her firearm in a vehicle. However, the Zambian authorities did not believe his account, leading to an investigation that has lasted over six years.
In a recent Dateline episode titled ‘Death of a Hunter,’ aired on January 31, 2025, investigators revealed striking evidence gathered since Bianca’s death. According to court documents, Larry took out a $4.8 million life insurance policy on Bianca shortly before their trip. Eyewitnesses also testified about Larry’s behavior following the incident, citing inconsistencies in his story. The police report noted that he waited for over an hour to report the incident to authorities, only claiming he was trying to help Bianca.
Prosecutors have stated that Larry tried to cover the evidence and has been deceptive throughout the investigation. “I loved my wife. I never wanted anything bad to happen to her,” Larry stated in an earlier interview. The accusations have turned his life upside down, as he now faces significant legal repercussions.
In addition, other updates concerning the investigation highlight how Lori Milliron, who has been associated with Larry, is also facing charges related to this case. Milliron allegedly helped Rudolph in the deceitful actions that followed Bianca’s tragic death. The support for Larry from some friends as he journeys through this trial has also been mentioned, while others are shocked by the allegations against him.
This case has gained significant media attention, bringing to light questions about fidelity, greed, and ethical responsibilities in personal relationships throughout the years. Viewers are still captivated by the unfolding drama of this tragic yet mystifying case as it is set to continue garnering attention in upcoming episodes of Dateline Unforgettable.
