<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bianca Rudolph, also a big game hunter, set on the safari with her husband hoping to bag a leopard during the safari six years ago, instead, prosecutors argued that she was fatally shot by her husband the morning of Oct. 11, 2016. <br>All through the trial the defendant maintained his innocence. According to Rudolph, his wife accidentally shot herself in the chest while packing a shotgun when he was in the bathroom. Bianca he said, had been packing her bags in a hurry as she was in a rush to return home from the trip. <br>Rudolph told authorities he was in the shower at the time, but that he heard a blast from a Browning shotgun and then found his wife wounded and on the ground of their hunting camp in Kafue National Park. <br> Authorities in Zambia ultimately ruled her death accidental, but the consular chief at the U.S. Embassy remained suspicious, especially after Rudolph discussed with the FBI his intentions to cremate Bianca.<br></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Upon his return from Africa, Rudolph also made claims through seven different insurance companies totaling nearly $5 million in payouts, according to a criminal complaint. <br>However prosecutors countered that Bianca&#8217;s gunshot wound couldn’t have been self-inflicted. <br>They presented evidence that showed the shot to her heart had been fired from two to three-and-a-half feet away.<br>Rudolph the prosecution argued, planned to murder his wife after she asked for more decision-making power in the couple’s finances and had demanded he fire his long-term mistress, Lori Milliron.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rudolph’s lawyers said he had no motive to kill his wife for Milliron because the couple had been in an open relationship since 2000, which allowed them to have sexual relationships with others.<br>They also said he had no financial need for the life insurance payouts, which went into a trust for the couple’s children, when he was worth more than $15 million at the time. Investigators for the insurance companies concluded that the shooting was accidental and paid out nearly $5 million to the family. Prosecutors claimed Milliron, who is the manager of Rudolph’s Pittsburgh-area dental franchise, became privy to the murder after the fact. <br>She accused her of lying to a federal jury about the case and her relationship with Rudolph.</p>
