A jury last year found Lawrence Rudolph guilty of murdering his wife, Bianca, while they were on a hunting trip in the southern African country. Rudolph then filed over $4 million in fraudulent life insurance claims after returning to the US, the release said. I would not murder my wife,” Rudolph told jurors when he took the stand in his own defense. The Phoenix couple shared a passion for big-game hunting and had traveled to Zambia in September 2016 so Bianca Rudolph could add a leopard to her collection of animal trophies. Rudolph killed his wife for insurance money and to be with his girlfriend, Lori Milliron, prosecutors argued.
