Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari

In “Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari,” a mysterious death on an African hunting trip sets off yearslong international investigation into the life of Larry Rudolph — a flashy Pittsburgh-area dentist with a taste for big game and bigger secrets, including a long-running affair with his dental hygienist, Lori Milliron. After Rudolph is forced to choose between his wife of 34 years, Bianca, and his mistress, one of them is found dead in his safari cabin in Zambia. The local authorities rule it an accident, but back in the U.S., suspicions mount. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover decades of salacious patterns in Rudolph’s personal and professional dealings including affairs, fraud and more. But the question remains: Could this apparent egomaniac commit murder? And if so, does the FBI have evidence to prove it?

The adrenaline-pumping, three-part series features exclusive interviews with Larry Rudolph and Lori Milliron from federal prison, offering rare insight into their relationship. Plus, new interviews with an eclectic cast of characters including Rudolph’s former business partner, Milliron’s daughter, the Rudolphs’ insurance broker, FBI agents close to the case, the former U.S. ambassador to Zambia and more. Members of Safari Club International and several of Rudolph’s former dental office employees also speak out, painting a disturbing picture of the man at the center of this shocking case.
