Mega Edition: The Dentist Who Murdered His Wife With Arsenic (10/28/26) · The Moscow Murders and More

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. On
0:04
Speaker 1: today's episode, we're going to talk about a U.S. dentist
0:07
Speaker 1: who is accused of killing his wife while they were
0:10
Speaker 1: on a safari. So this couple was very big into
0:15
Speaker 1: quote-unquote big game hunting, whatever that is, and while they
0:20
Speaker 1: were in Zambia, allegedly, this gentleman killed his wife. And
0:25
Speaker 1: the authorities are alleging that he did this to collect
0:28
Speaker 1: some insurance money and to be with his girlfriend. So
0:32
Speaker 1: let's jump into this article from CNN and let's see
0:36
Speaker 1: exactly what in the hell is going on here.
0:39
Speaker 2: Headline, a U.S.
0:41
Speaker 1: Dentist is accused of killing his wife on safari in Zambia.
0:45
Speaker 1: He says she accidentally discharged the gun. This article was
0:50
Speaker 1: authored by Faith Karimi. Now, You're a prolific hunter, okay?
0:56
Speaker 1: You and your wife both. That means you're not a
0:58
Speaker 1: novice around firearms. You know how to use them. You
1:02
Speaker 1: know how to clean them. You know about trigger safety.
1:05
Speaker 2: Or at least you should.
1:08
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Bianca Rudolph shared a passion for big game hunting.
1:12
Speaker 1: Right off the bat, I find that gross, by the way.
1:14
Speaker 1: Now look, if you're going to hunt and you're going
1:16
Speaker 1: to eat and use every piece of the animal, I'm
1:19
Speaker 1: all for it. Big game hunting is bitch shit. What
1:22
Speaker 1: are you doing running around hunting a giraffe? And if
1:25
Speaker 1: you want to go hunt lions and shit, be a
1:28
Speaker 1: real sport about it. Use a bow and arrow. But
1:31
Speaker 1: these guys go over there with all this big money
1:33
Speaker 1: so they can put the head of some animal on
1:36
Speaker 1: their wall or get some cheetah taxidermied and have it
1:40
Speaker 1: in their living room or whatever as a conversation starter.
1:43
Speaker 2: So stupid. Now again, look.
1:46
Speaker 1: If you want to hunt because you eat your deer
1:48
Speaker 1: hunting or you're going after wild hogs that are invasive,
1:52
Speaker 1: I get it. But people that fly over to Africa
1:55
Speaker 1: to do this big game hunting, I just don't understand it.
2:01
Speaker 1: In late September 2016, the couple traveled from their Phoenix
2:05
Speaker 1: home to the southern African nation of Zambia, where Bianca
2:10
Speaker 1: Rudolph was determined to add a leopard to her collection
2:14
Speaker 1: of animal trophies.
2:15
Speaker 2: I mean, really?
2:18
Speaker 1: Add a leopard to your collection of animal trophies? Somebody
2:24
Speaker 1: make that make sense. They carried two guns for the hunt,
2:30
Speaker 1: a Remington. 375 rifle and a Browning 12-gauge shotgun. After
2:35
Speaker 1: killing other animals during the two-week trip, but not a leopard,
2:39
Speaker 1: Bianca Rudolph never made it home. She suffered a fatal
2:42
Speaker 1: shotgun blast in their hunting cabin, At dawn, as she
2:46
Speaker 1: was packing to return to Phoenix, federal prosecutors allege in
2:49
Speaker 1: court documents. Now look, I have a lot of smart-ass
2:53
Speaker 1: comments I'd like to make, but I won't. Somebody's dead, right?
2:56
Speaker 1: And it's not a joke. But you mess around sometimes
2:59
Speaker 1: in life and karma comes and gets you. According to reports,
3:05
Speaker 1: they're saying that this man killed her and that it
3:09
Speaker 1: wasn't an accident. Now Lawrence Rudolph, 67, is charged with
3:14
Speaker 1: foreign murder and mail fraud and the death of his
3:17
Speaker 1: wife of 30 years. He has pleaded not guilty and
3:21
Speaker 1: took the stand in his own defense this week at
3:23
Speaker 1: his trial in Denver. CNN affiliate KMGH reported, a lot
3:28
Speaker 1: of times when people take the stand in their own
3:30
Speaker 1: defense in a situation like this, it's kind of like
3:32
Speaker 1: a last ditch effort, right? Notoriously and historically. But sometimes
3:38
Speaker 1: people want to take the stand because they're telling the truth.
3:41
Speaker 1: I know that if I was telling the truth, I'd
3:44
Speaker 1: be taking the stand. I don't care what my lawyer said.
3:47
Speaker 1: I'd get up there and I'd look those jurors in
3:49
Speaker 1: the eye and I'd look the family members in the
3:51
Speaker 1: eye of the person who passed away and I would
3:54
Speaker 1: tell them with certainty, I did not do this. I
4:01
Speaker 1: did not kill my wife. I could not murder my wife.
4:04
Speaker 1: I would not murder my wife, he told jurors. Rudolph
4:07
Speaker 1: told investigators he heard the shot while he was in
4:10
Speaker 1: the bathroom and believed the shotgun accidentally went off as
4:14
Speaker 1: she was putting it in its case, court documents say.
4:18
Speaker 1: He found her bleeding on the floor of their cabin
4:20
Speaker 1: at Cafu National Park, he says. There's a lot there
4:23
Speaker 1: that doesn't sit with me. If I was a juror
4:26
Speaker 1: and some hunter told me that they were packing up
4:28
Speaker 1: their shotgun and there were still... Rounds in the chamber?
4:32
Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe that. Not if you're some prolific hunter
4:35
Speaker 1: like you said you were. Now, if you were a
4:37
Speaker 1: novice and you've never been around guns, maybe more believable.
4:41
Speaker 1: But to act like she's this big hunter, huntress, and then, oh, well,
4:47
Speaker 1: she just forgot to take the bullets out of the
4:50
Speaker 1: chamber and she ended up shooting herself, packing it away.
4:56
Speaker 1: But prosecutors allege Rudolph killed his wife for insurance money
4:59
Speaker 1: and to be with his girlfriend. See, that's why I
5:02
Speaker 1: just don't have any insurance money, folks. Carrie has no
5:06
Speaker 1: reason to kill me because I don't have anything yet.
5:08
Speaker 1: So my insurance policy is me not having anything yet
5:12
Speaker 1: and waiting till I have a lot more. Then maybe
5:14
Speaker 1: she'll kill me, right? I mean, all kidding aside, though,
5:18
Speaker 1: you see this all the time with people with insurance policies.
5:22
Speaker 1: It's like the reasoning behind, right?
5:24
Speaker 2: The motive.
5:25
Speaker 1: For people to murder their spouse or their loved one,
5:28
Speaker 1: and I'll just never get it. Believe me when I
5:30
Speaker 1: tell you, I like money as much as the next person.
5:33
Speaker 1: Money facilitates all of our nonsense, right? Us having fun,
5:37
Speaker 1: whatever we want to do. So I like money as
5:40
Speaker 1: much as the next person. But I don't like money
5:42
Speaker 1: enough where I would ever darken my soul or get
5:47
Speaker 1: involved in some kind of murder plot to try and
5:50
Speaker 1: get more of it. I would just hustle harder. I mean,
5:53
Speaker 1: I know that sounds cliche, but for me, it's always
5:58
Speaker 1: about falling in love with the process. Not looking towards
6:01
Speaker 1: the destination. Not, how am I going to profit from this?
6:04
Speaker 1: It's about falling in love with the process. And if
6:07
Speaker 1: you do that, everything will fall in line, right? CNN
6:13
Speaker 1: has reached out to Rudolph's attorney, David Marcus, but has
6:17
Speaker 1: not heard back. David Marcus, huh? David Marcus. That's the
6:23
Speaker 1: same clown that was doing PR for Ghislaine Maxwell, who
6:26
Speaker 1: ended up getting absolutely smoked by the judge for his
6:30
Speaker 1: nonsensical BS, his op-ed, and then kind of just faded
6:34
Speaker 1: away from the scene, remember?
6:36
Speaker 2: Maybe I should go back and.
6:37
Speaker 1: Look for that article that I did, the episode about
6:41
Speaker 1: Oscar David Marcus. This dude is like an epic clown.
6:47
Speaker 1: In a motion Marcus filed in January listing his client's assets,
6:50
Speaker 1: he said Rudolph had no financial motive to kill his wife.
6:54
Speaker 1: In the court documents, he noted that Rudolph is worth millions,
6:57
Speaker 1: including dental practices near Pittsburgh valued at $ 10 million. Life
7:02
Speaker 1: insurance companies based in Colorado paid Rudolph over $ 4. 8 million
7:07
Speaker 1: after his wife's death, according to court documents.
7:11
Speaker 2: Look, just because you have money already doesn't mean you
7:12
Speaker 2: don't want more.
7:14
Speaker 1: We all know greed is a huge motivator to get
7:16
Speaker 1: people in trouble, to get people murdering. The rush to
7:21
Speaker 1: cremate his wife sparked suspicion, investigators say. Rudolph scheduled a
7:26
Speaker 1: cremation three days after her death, according to court documents.
7:30
Speaker 1: After he reported her death to the U.S. Embassy in
7:33
Speaker 1: the Zambian capital of Lusaka, the consular chief told the
7:37
Speaker 1: FBI he had a bad feeling about the situation, which
7:40
Speaker 1: he thought was moving too quickly. FBI Special Agent Donald
7:44
Speaker 1: Peterson wrote in the criminal affidavit, look, as much as
7:48
Speaker 1: I abuse the FBI for their nonsense, when it comes
7:52
Speaker 1: to things like this, they're very good at forensic recreation
7:56
Speaker 1: and chasing shit down. My problem is they have become
7:59
Speaker 1: a tool for the so-called elite to use against people
8:03
Speaker 1: like you and I, and I am not down with it.
8:06
Speaker 1: But as far as their investigations into shit like this,
8:09
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. As a result, the consular
8:14
Speaker 1: chief and two other embassy officials went to the funeral
8:17
Speaker 1: home where the body was being held to take photographs
8:20
Speaker 1: and preserve any potential evidence. When Rudolph found out that
8:24
Speaker 1: the embassy officials had taken photos of his wife's body,
8:27
Speaker 1: he was livid, Peterson wrote.
8:29
Speaker 2: I could see that. Look, I'm not trying to, you know.
8:34
Speaker 1: take up for this guy or anything, but if I
8:37
Speaker 1: didn't kill my wife and anyone from the U.S. government
8:39
Speaker 1: showed up and tried to take pictures of her body
8:42
Speaker 1: while she was in that state, you better show up
8:45
Speaker 1: with some Marines or somebody to help you out because
8:47
Speaker 1: you're about to catch that smoke. So I can understand
8:50
Speaker 1: being upset about that. Rudolph initially told the consular chief
8:55
Speaker 1: that his wife may have died by suicide, but an
8:58
Speaker 1: investigation by zombie and law enforcement ruled it an accidental discharge,
9:02
Speaker 1: Peterson wrote. Zombian investigators concluded that the firearm was loaded
9:07
Speaker 1: from the previous hunting activities and normal safety precautions were
9:11
Speaker 1: not taken, causing it to accidentally fire in the fatal incident,
9:15
Speaker 1: according to court documents. Again, I'd be much more obliged
9:20
Speaker 1: to believe that if they weren't prolific hunters who have
9:23
Speaker 1: been on these trips a million times. You mean to
9:26
Speaker 1: tell me she doesn't know how to take care of
9:27
Speaker 1: her firearm? Investigators for the insurers reached a similar conclusion
9:36
Speaker 1: and paid on the policies. Zombian authorities and five insurers
9:40
Speaker 1: determined that Bianca Rudolph died accidentally. Witnesses told the FBI
9:45
Speaker 1: that Dr. Rudolph did nothing to interfere in the investigation.
9:48
Speaker 1: No physical evidence supports the government's murder theory, Marcus wrote
9:53
Speaker 1: in the January motion. So that's definitely interesting. A couple
9:57
Speaker 1: of other investigative bodies took a look here and they
10:00
Speaker 1: didn't come to the same conclusion as the FBI. So
10:03
Speaker 1: that'll have to be taken into account with the jury, right?
10:06
Speaker 1: They'll have to look at all of this evidence and
10:08
Speaker 1: see if there's a clear pathway here. The suspect wanted
10:13
Speaker 1: to be with his girlfriend, prosecutors allege. One of these again, huh? Again, guys,
10:18
Speaker 1: you want to be with your girlfriend if you're married?
10:20
Speaker 1: Divorce your wife. I'm sorry that you're going to have
10:23
Speaker 1: to take it in the pants financially, but them's the breaks, homie.
10:26
Speaker 1: What are you doing killing her?
10:28
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
10:29
Speaker 1: At what point does that become a good idea? But
10:34
Speaker 1: federal investigators say there's more to the story. Rudolph orchestrated
10:38
Speaker 1: his wife's death as part of a scheme to defraud
10:40
Speaker 1: life insurance companies and to allow him to live openly
10:44
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend, the FBI alleges. Federal authorities got involved
10:48
Speaker 1: after a friend of the victim reached out to the
10:51
Speaker 1: FBI and asked the agency to investigate the death because
10:54
Speaker 1: she suspected foul play. The friend said Rudolph had been
10:58
Speaker 1: involved in extramarital affairs in the past and had a
11:01
Speaker 1: girlfriend at the time of his wife's death. You know,
11:04
Speaker 1: I'm always very hesitant about stuff like this because we
11:07
Speaker 1: don't know about their personal affairs.
11:09
Speaker 2: Maybe they were swingers.
11:10
Speaker 1: Maybe she got off watching him with other women. See,
11:14
Speaker 1: we just never know, right? So I try not to
11:16
Speaker 1: make the leap right away when we talk about extramarital
11:19
Speaker 1: affairs and the woman stays with the guy. You know,
11:22
Speaker 1: you don't know all the particulars, right? So I try
11:26
Speaker 1: and be a bit, eh, I'd say lukewarm about those
11:30
Speaker 1: kinds of because if he's had premarital issues in the
11:37
Speaker 1: past and the wife has stayed with him, then either A,
11:40
Speaker 1: she's accepted that he's a philanderer and understands the stakes,
11:44
Speaker 1: or B, maybe she is into it too. You just
11:47
Speaker 1: never know, right? Rudolph's then-girlfriend, who was not named in
11:53
Speaker 1: the court documents, worked as a manager at his dental
11:56
Speaker 1: practice near Pittsburgh and told a former employee that she'd
11:59
Speaker 1: been dating him for 15 to 20 years. You mean
12:03
Speaker 1: to tell me his wife didn't know? I have a
12:05
Speaker 1: hard time believing that one, folks. 15 to 20 years?
12:08
Speaker 1: This dude ain't that smooth. The most smoothest operators in
12:12
Speaker 1: the history of smooth operators, as far as cheaters, ain't
12:15
Speaker 1: out here carrying on a 20-year relationship with their office
12:18
Speaker 1: manager without their wife... being hip to the situation. The
12:27
Speaker 1: former employee told the FBI that the girlfriend told her
12:30
Speaker 1: she gave Rudolph an ultimatum of one year to sell
12:33
Speaker 1: his dental offices and leave his wife, court documents allege.
12:37
Speaker 1: Three months after Bianca Rudolph's death, the girlfriend moved in
12:40
Speaker 1: with him, Peterson wrote in court documents. An executive director
12:44
Speaker 1: of their subdivisions community association told investigators that Rudolph and
12:49
Speaker 1: his girlfriend tried to buy another home in the same
12:51
Speaker 1: subdivision for three and a half million dollars. Now, if
12:56
Speaker 1: my wife, if something happened to Carrie, I honestly doubt
12:59
Speaker 1: I would ever want to be in a relationship with
13:02
Speaker 1: anyone ever again. Never mind have someone move in with
13:05
Speaker 1: me three months later. God forbid anything ever happened to her.
13:10
Speaker 1: I would probably end up being one of those true
13:14
Speaker 1: homeless wandering people on trails all over the world. I'd
13:18
Speaker 1: rent a storage unit for all of my stuff, and
13:21
Speaker 1: I'd just hike around the world for the rest of
13:23
Speaker 1: my life. I can't imagine someone sliding in three months later.
13:28
Speaker 1: I mean, are you fucking kidding me right now? Her
13:32
Speaker 1: wounds didn't reflect an accidental discharge, the FBI says. Court
13:37
Speaker 1: documents also allege the evidence shows Bianca Rudolph's wounds came
13:41
Speaker 1: from a shot fired from at least two feet away.
13:45
Speaker 1: An FBI special agent conducted testing to determine, by comparison
13:49
Speaker 1: to photographs from the scene of the death, the approximate
13:52
Speaker 1: position of the shotgun muzzle within the soft case at
13:55
Speaker 1: the time of the discharge, as well as the resulting
13:58
Speaker 1: shot patterns created by firing the shotgun with the case
14:02
Speaker 1: over the barrel at various distances. The criminal complaint states,
14:07
Speaker 1: and again, look, I am much more inclined to believe
14:10
Speaker 1: the FBI when they're recreating one of these scenes than
14:14
Speaker 1: just about any other investigative body. A forensic medical examiner
14:22
Speaker 1: determined the patterns matching the wound observed in photographs of
14:25
Speaker 1: the body were created by a shot from a distance
14:28
Speaker 1: of between two and three and a half feet. At
14:31
Speaker 1: that distance, there is no reason to believe that Bianca
14:33
Speaker 1: Rudolph was not killed by an accidental discharge as stated,
14:39
Speaker 1: the complaint states. Bianca and Lawrence Rudolph moved from Pennsylvania
14:43
Speaker 1: to Arizona about four years before her death. Rudolph's dental
14:47
Speaker 1: practice remained in Pennsylvania, and he commuted back and forth
14:51
Speaker 1: from his Phoenix home. Oh, I am sure that that
14:54
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with him wanting to put some
14:56
Speaker 1: distance between his mistress.
14:57
Speaker 2: And his wife. I'm sure that.
14:59
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't want to have his wife and
15:03
Speaker 1: his gumad close to each other.
15:05
Speaker 2: That's what happened here. Let's be honest. Oh, babe, we're
15:07
Speaker 2: going to retire out to Phoenix. Don't worry. We'll have
15:10
Speaker 2: a great life.
15:12
Speaker 1: Federal authorities allege his wife's murder was premeditated so he
15:16
Speaker 1: could falsely claim that death was the result of an accident.
15:19
Speaker 1: But Marcus has accused federal officials of relying on shaky evidence.
15:24
Speaker 1: Rudolph's two children are confident their father did not kill
15:27
Speaker 1: their mother, Marcus said, and they've signed affidavits in his support.
15:31
Speaker 2: Well, were they there?
15:33
Speaker 1: I know the kids are going through a traumatic time here,
15:35
Speaker 1: but unless they were there, I really don't care what
15:37
Speaker 1: their opinion is. We need to know what happened, not
15:41
Speaker 1: what your opinion about what happened was. If convicted of murder,
15:45
Speaker 1: Rudolph faces a maximum of life in prison or the
15:48
Speaker 1: death penalty. Well, we talked about this one earlier, folks,
15:52
Speaker 1: a few months ago, and I figured it was time
15:55
Speaker 1: for an update considering we're getting some more information and
15:58
Speaker 1: this trial has started. So I'm going to keep my
16:00
Speaker 1: eye on it. We're going to keep adding it to
16:02
Speaker 1: the catalog and we'll see what the jury figures out
16:05
Speaker 1: when it comes to that time. But for me, it's
16:08
Speaker 1: not looking good for Mr.
16:09
Speaker 2: Rudolph here.
16:12
Speaker 1: Sure seems like a lot of the signs are pointing
16:14
Speaker 1: to him being up to no good. If you'd like
16:18
Speaker 1: to contact me, you can do that at bobbycapucci at protonmail.com.
16:23
Speaker 1: That's B-O-B-B-Y-C-A-P-U-C-C-I at protonmail.com. If you'd like to find me
16:31
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you can do that at B-O-B-B-Y-C-A-P-U-C-C-I. The link
16:38
Speaker 1: that I discussed can be found in the description box.
16:42
Speaker 2: All right, everybody.
16:43
Speaker 1: I will talk to you all later on, and I
16:45
Speaker 1: hope you're all enjoying your day. What's up, everyone, and
16:48
Speaker 1: welcome back to the program. A few months ago, we
16:53
Speaker 1: were talking about a dentist who was from Pennsylvania who
16:57
Speaker 1: ended up killing his wife on a hunting trip in Zambia. Well,
17:02
Speaker 1: now we're getting some more information after he has been
17:04
Speaker 1: convicted about a jail conversation, a phone conversation he had
17:09
Speaker 1: with his mistress. Now remember, it was the mistress who
17:12
Speaker 1: led to this shooting. He was with his wife for
17:15
Speaker 1: all of these years. They were prolific hunters. They go
17:19
Speaker 1: on this trip to Zambia, and while there, his wife
17:23
Speaker 1: shoots herself, according to him, and ends up dying. However,
17:28
Speaker 1: when investigators take a look at things, it's rather obvious
17:31
Speaker 1: that this woman didn't shoot herself. We're talking about somebody
17:35
Speaker 1: who was a prolific hunter, somebody who knew how to
17:38
Speaker 1: handle firearms, and the story that was given to us
17:42
Speaker 1: by Lawrence Rudolph was absolute BS from Jump Street. So,
17:48
Speaker 1: like usual, I like to add context after the fact
17:51
Speaker 1: when we have a story that we've been talking about.
17:53
Speaker 1: Whenever I can find another article, you know it's getting
17:56
Speaker 1: added to the catalog. So, let's dive right in to
17:59
Speaker 1: this article from the Daily Mail, and let's see what's
18:02
Speaker 1: going on with Lawrence Rudolph. Headline, I'm a dead man.
18:07
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania dentist, 67, facing death penalty. after being found guilty
18:12
Speaker 1: of blasting his wife to death on safari in Zambia,
18:15
Speaker 1: is heard on new prison call telling his mistress she
18:18
Speaker 1: should look for a new boyfriend. So this dude's in
18:21
Speaker 1: prison for killing his wife over this woman, according to
18:26
Speaker 1: the courts, and he's still going on carrying on a
18:29
Speaker 1: relationship with her like everything's all good. This article was
18:34
Speaker 1: authored by Jack Newman. A wealthy Pennsylvania dentist who faces
18:40
Speaker 1: the death penalty for murdering his wife on a safari
18:43
Speaker 1: to claim her $ 4. 8 million life insurance has admitted to
18:47
Speaker 1: his mistress on a prison phone call, I'm a dead man.
18:50
Speaker 1: Now imagine being a dentist, having all that money anyway,
18:55
Speaker 1: your own dental practices, you know, a long time in
18:58
Speaker 1: the business, and you kill your wife to get some money?
19:03
Speaker 1: So yeah, talking about, oh, I'm a dead man, that's
19:05
Speaker 1: what you deserve in my opinion. I'm not really big
19:09
Speaker 1: on the death penalty in most cases, but somebody like this,
19:13
Speaker 1: this is a cold and calculating man. And his children
19:16
Speaker 1: even defended him. He had his children in court. He
19:20
Speaker 1: had this whole thing going where his kids were, you know,
19:22
Speaker 1: in his corner. Only to find out that after a
19:27
Speaker 1: jury of his peers took a look at the evidence
19:29
Speaker 1: that he killed their mom. The killer is awaiting to
19:36
Speaker 1: hear if he faces a life sentence, but in a
19:38
Speaker 1: newly released phone call with his mistress, Lori Milliron, he
19:43
Speaker 1: acknowledged that he's going to die in prison.
19:46
Speaker 2: Well, that's where you belong.
19:47
Speaker 1: If you're going to kill your wife on a hunting trip,
19:50
Speaker 1: in Zambia and think you're going to get away with it,
19:52
Speaker 1: another person who thinks they're going to go to another
19:54
Speaker 1: country and what people are dumber than you because you're
19:58
Speaker 1: some haughty, taughty American dentist and you're going to get
20:01
Speaker 1: away with murder.
20:02
Speaker 2: Guess what, pal? That's not going to happen.
20:07
Speaker 1: Milliron, who was also convicted for providing false and misleading
20:10
Speaker 1: testimony to a grand jury about the money and the
20:13
Speaker 1: nature of her relationship with Rudolph, is now living in
20:16
Speaker 1: their nearly completed custom-built mansion in Paradise Valley, Arizona, while
20:21
Speaker 1: his wife is dead. Imagine? Talk about no justice in
20:25
Speaker 1: the world. Imagine being the family of his ex-wife and
20:29
Speaker 1: how they must feel knowing that Lori Milliron is living
20:32
Speaker 1: in this little mansion that they built together, Little McMansion
20:36
Speaker 1: out in Arizona. Meanwhile, their loved one is dead and
20:40
Speaker 1: gone and never coming back. She told Rudolph in the
20:45
Speaker 1: intercepted phone call, I didn't expect at 65 years old
20:49
Speaker 1: that I was going to have to have a new career.
20:51
Speaker 1: The convict replied, you should look for a new boyfriend
20:54
Speaker 1: while you can. But she answered back, honey, I'm a
20:57
Speaker 1: convicted felon. That's appealing. Rudolph then said, well, I just
21:02
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you I love you. Milliron replied, take
21:05
Speaker 1: care of yourself. Never, never give up, please. But he admitted,
21:10
Speaker 1: it's not about giving up, Lori. It's just about facing reality.
21:13
Speaker 1: I'm a dead man. I'm going to die in prison
21:16
Speaker 1: and I don't want to take you with me or
21:17
Speaker 1: anybody else. It's not fair. You know what really wasn't fair?
21:21
Speaker 1: You shooting your wife and killing her. That wasn't fair.
21:23
Speaker 1: Not fair to her especially, but not fair to all
21:26
Speaker 1: of her loved ones, your kids, everybody around you.
21:29
Speaker 2: So I don't want to hear anything about, oh, I
21:31
Speaker 2: might die in prison now. Nobody told you to kill
21:34
Speaker 2: your wife, bro.
21:38
Speaker 1: A three week long trial was held in Denver, Colorado
21:40
Speaker 1: in the summer where Rudolph was found guilty of murder
21:44
Speaker 1: and mail fraud. A jury of six men and six
21:46
Speaker 1: women sided with prosecutors who believe the dentist preplanned to
21:50
Speaker 1: kill his wife of 34 years in cold blood and
21:54
Speaker 1: begin a new life with Milliron. Milliron was found guilty
21:58
Speaker 1: by the same jury of being an accessory after the
22:01
Speaker 1: fact to murder, obstruction of a grand jury and two
22:04
Speaker 1: counts of perjury before a grand jury. She was found
22:07
Speaker 1: not guilty on three other counts of perjury. Imagine these
22:11
Speaker 1: two sitting around together. She's knowing that he's married already.
22:15
Speaker 1: They're going in this whole ass, you know, relationship that
22:18
Speaker 1: they're in. And who knows what kind of conversation they had?
22:21
Speaker 1: Was she goading him into doing this? Hey, you know,
22:23
Speaker 1: you should probably get rid of your wife. You're going
22:25
Speaker 1: on that trip, right? It's all absurd to think. that
22:29
Speaker 1: human beings could be this cold, this calculating, but unfortunately,
22:32
Speaker 1: they're everywhere. How many times do we read stories like this?
22:36
Speaker 1: How many times do we hear stories like this? Rudolph
22:40
Speaker 1: maintained his innocence, and the two adult children he had
22:43
Speaker 1: with his wife sat in court to support him during
22:46
Speaker 1: the trial. Marcus said they would appeal his conviction. And
22:50
Speaker 1: it's funny, the lawyer here is Oscar David Marcus, and
22:53
Speaker 1: those of you who followed the Maxwell trial, you know
22:56
Speaker 1: who he is. He was the guy that came out
22:58
Speaker 1: and was talking to the media, saying he was their
23:00
Speaker 1: PR guy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then Judge
23:03
Speaker 1: Nathan absolutely just eviscerated him in one of her statements
23:08
Speaker 1: about his nonsense. And then we never heard from him again.
23:13
Speaker 1: We believe in Larry. We believe in his family, he
23:15
Speaker 1: said outside the court. Bianca died after being shot by
23:19
Speaker 1: a Browning shotgun in their cabin while she was packing
23:22
Speaker 1: it up as they were set to leave Zambia and
23:24
Speaker 1: start their journey home to the U.S., Now, we're talking
23:27
Speaker 1: about a prolific hunter here. We're not talking about somebody
23:30
Speaker 1: who doesn't know firearms. It's not like I was handling
23:32
Speaker 1: that gun. If I was handling a gun and somehow
23:36
Speaker 1: I ended up shooting myself, it would be a legitimate
23:38
Speaker 1: thing to think that I did it myself. I'm not
23:41
Speaker 1: a prolific firearm guy. I don't run around carrying guns.
23:44
Speaker 1: But somebody who's been hunting all of these years, that's
23:48
Speaker 1: a very big bridge to sell me. At around 5 a.m.
23:53
Speaker 1: on October 11th in 2016, gamekeepers and scouts heard a
23:57
Speaker 1: gunshot coming from their cabin. When they got there, they
24:00
Speaker 1: found Bianca lying on the ground with a gunshot wound
24:03
Speaker 1: to the chest. Rudolph's defense team had argued that federal
24:07
Speaker 1: prosecutors Bianca may have accidentally shot herself. Well, what was it, suicide?
24:12
Speaker 1: Is that the other argument? Was there a disappearing man
24:16
Speaker 1: who was in the bedroom nobody knew about? The, you know,
24:19
Speaker 1: invisible man showed up and shot her?
24:22
Speaker 2: No, it was you.
24:26
Speaker 1: But prosecutors allege Rudolph killed his wife to be with Milliron,
24:30
Speaker 1: who he had been the dentist's mistress for 20 years.
24:33
Speaker 1: Imagine a 20-year relationship. Here's an idea. Leave your wife.
24:38
Speaker 1: You don't have to kill her.
24:39
Speaker 2: You don't have to be a dick about it. Just
24:41
Speaker 2: leave her.
24:42
Speaker 1: Why are you cheating on her and ruining everybody's lives
24:44
Speaker 1: around you? Rudolph said he'd been in an open marriage
24:49
Speaker 1: with his late wife, Bianca, from the year 2000 until
24:52
Speaker 1: he shot her dead in October of 2016. Oh, I'm
24:56
Speaker 1: sure that it was an open marriage. How many other
24:59
Speaker 1: partners did Bianca have? Where are all of those other partners?
25:02
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it was a one-way open marriage. A lot
25:06
Speaker 1: of times you'll hear people talk about, oh, I have
25:08
Speaker 1: an open marriage. What they mean is that they can
25:10
Speaker 1: do whatever they want, but their partner can't. I did
25:15
Speaker 1: not kill my wife. I cannot murder my wife. I
25:17
Speaker 1: would not murder my wife, Rudolph told jurors. Rudolph was
25:21
Speaker 1: charged in December of 2021 for the murder. The 67-year-old
25:26
Speaker 1: said he was in the bathroom when he heard his
25:28
Speaker 1: wife say, come here and help me, before hearing the
25:31
Speaker 1: shot and finding his wife on the floor bleeding. In
25:34
Speaker 1: opening statements, the prosecution told jurors that Rudolph was overheard
25:38
Speaker 1: blurting out, I killed my fucking wife for you, during
25:41
Speaker 1: an argument with Milliron at a Phoenix Steakhouse in 2020.
25:45
Speaker 1: after he learned that the FBI was investigating his wife's death.
25:49
Speaker 1: Hell of a guy here. Blurt that out. I killed
25:51
Speaker 1: my wife. Just going on about things after his wife
25:54
Speaker 1: was killed.
25:55
Speaker 2: No big deal.
25:57
Speaker 1: And when you have no remorse like this, and you're
25:59
Speaker 1: just cold and calculating, you are a dangerous individual in
26:02
Speaker 1: my opinion. Rudolph denied confessing to his wife's killing. He
26:08
Speaker 1: said that he and Milliron were having an argument about
26:11
Speaker 1: their finances and how the COVID-19 pandemic, then at its start,
26:15
Speaker 1: would affect the Pennsylvania dental franchise that had made him
26:18
Speaker 1: a small fortune. Again, he already had a small fortune.
26:21
Speaker 1: Why are you killing your wife for insurance money, you
26:24
Speaker 1: epic dickhead? But he was irritated because he said his
26:29
Speaker 1: top concern was the FBI's probe. Well, yeah, that should
26:32
Speaker 1: always be your top concern if the FBI is probing you. Yeah,
26:36
Speaker 1: probably not a good day. Rudolph said that he was actually,
26:40
Speaker 1: what he actually said was, now they're saying I killed
26:43
Speaker 1: my fucking wife for you. Despite marital issues and twice
26:46
Speaker 1: being close to divorce, Rudolph said he and his wife,
26:49
Speaker 1: with whom he had two children, agreed to stay married,
26:52
Speaker 1: but were free to pursue other sexual relationships with other people.
26:56
Speaker 1: My guess is he didn't want to pay her a settlement.
26:59
Speaker 1: No alimony, any of that stuff. Rather obvious what he
27:02
Speaker 1: was doing here. Rudolph said neither Milliron or his wife
27:07
Speaker 1: issued him any ultimatums about ending his relationship with the other.
27:11
Speaker 1: Rudolph's lawyer, David Marcus, argued that Rudolph had no financial
27:15
Speaker 1: motive for murder, being worth more than $ 15 million when
27:18
Speaker 1: his wife died, and said the insurance payout went into
27:21
Speaker 1: a trust for their children. Zambian authorities determined two days
27:27
Speaker 1: after the October 11, 2016 shooting that it was accidental,
27:31
Speaker 1: according to the defense. Investigators for the insurers, who later
27:35
Speaker 1: paid $ 4. 8 million, reached the same conclusion. prosecutor's counter that
27:41
Speaker 1: evidence shows Bianca Rudolph's wounds came from a shot fired
27:44
Speaker 1: from two to three and a half feet away and
27:46
Speaker 1: say the barrel of the gun was too long for
27:48
Speaker 1: her to have shot herself. A jury found him guilty
27:52
Speaker 1: and he is awaiting sentencing. So I wanted to make
27:55
Speaker 1: sure that we had this update here so we could
27:58
Speaker 1: see this one through to completion. And there's no doubt
28:01
Speaker 1: in my mind that this man is guilty of this.
28:04
Speaker 1: The jurors thought it. The prosecutors thought it. The investigators
28:07
Speaker 1: thought it. The only people that can't see it, unfortunately,
28:10
Speaker 1: are the people that are closest to him. And imagine
28:13
Speaker 1: having such a good game run on your kids that
28:16
Speaker 1: they believe that you didn't kill your wife, their mom,
28:19
Speaker 1: even after a jury found you guilty. Talk about being
28:22
Speaker 1: able to gaslight. All right, folks, that's going to do
28:26
Speaker 1: it for this one. If you'd like to contact me,

Speaker 1: found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome
28:49
Speaker 1: back to the program. In today's episode, we have an
28:53
Speaker 1: update on the Colorado dentist who's accused of poisoning his
28:57
Speaker 1: wife by spiking her protein drinks. And according to the prosecutors,
29:02
Speaker 1: this new evidence that has been unearthed is damning. So
29:06
Speaker 1: let's dive into this article from the Daily Mail and
29:09
Speaker 1: let's see what that new evidence might be. Headline, damning
29:13
Speaker 1: new evidence comes to light in the case of Colorado
29:16
Speaker 1: dentist accused of poisoning his wife's protein shakes. The author
29:22
Speaker 1: of this article is Germania Rodriguez-Poleo. New evidence has emerged
29:28
Speaker 1: in the case of a Colorado dentist accused of poisoning
29:31
Speaker 1: his wife's protein shakes. What's with all of these people
29:35
Speaker 1: trying to clip their significant others by poisoning their drinks?
29:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, Corey Robertson.
29:40
Speaker 1: Richens, I'm looking at you. And we also had the
29:42
Speaker 1: other lady who was poisoning the drinks with antifreeze. So
29:47
Speaker 1: this is like an ongoing thing, and my guess is
29:49
Speaker 1: it happens a lot more than any of us would
29:52
Speaker 1: ever even think about. And I wonder how many people
29:55
Speaker 1: using this method have gotten away with it. James Craig 46,
30:00
Speaker 1: is accused of lacing mother of six Angela's drinks with
30:03
Speaker 1: potassium cyanide while having an affair with an orthodontist in Texas.
30:08
Speaker 1: This guy was busy as hell, huh? Poisoning people, having
30:11
Speaker 1: an affair. How did he find time to fix anyone's grill?
30:15
Speaker 1: It always baffles me. Like, how do you have the
30:17
Speaker 1: time to be engaged in all this shit? I'm not
30:20
Speaker 1: a dentist, I don't have people's mouths to look at,
30:23
Speaker 1: and I can't find enough hours in the day to
30:25
Speaker 1: take care of the things I have to take care of.
30:27
Speaker 1: So it always baffles my mind when these people can
30:30
Speaker 1: find the time to commit these crimes like, you know,
30:33
Speaker 1: poisoning somebody's shake, while at the same time juggling a
30:36
Speaker 1: whole ass other relationship. He's denied the charges. Ahead of
30:41
Speaker 1: a hearing on Wednesday, his lawyers asked that all charges
30:44
Speaker 1: against him be dropped over alleged outrageous government conduct. Well,
30:48
Speaker 1: that's a shock. Loopholes and technicalities, is it? Cuz is
30:51
Speaker 1: caught dead to rights killing his wife by poisoning her
30:54
Speaker 1: protein shakes, and they're gonna attack... the loopholes in the technicalities,
30:59
Speaker 1: and claim that there is government misconduct? Okay, let's see it.
31:04
Speaker 1: The defense claims prosecutors lied to a witness, one of
31:07
Speaker 1: Craig's mistresses, and coerced her into making statements. They want
31:12
Speaker 1: that evidence excluded. Oh yeah, everybody's been coerced. None of
31:16
Speaker 1: this has happened. Your client's certainly the wrong guy, and
31:20
Speaker 1: you have no idea what we're even doing inside of
31:22
Speaker 1: this courtroom. That's the kind of nonsense these defense attorneys
31:26
Speaker 1: will try to pitch you, no matter the evidence that's
31:28
Speaker 1: lined up against their client. And when they don't have
31:31
Speaker 1: any evidence, inevitably it becomes, oh, well, there was government misconduct.
31:36
Speaker 1: There is prosecutorial misconduct. The same old story time and
31:41
Speaker 1: time again. Now, does that mean that there wasn't prosecutorial misconduct?
31:45
Speaker 1: We have to take a look at everything that comes across, right?
31:49
Speaker 1: And if there is serious allegations with evidence, then of
31:52
Speaker 1: course it has to be looked at. But I think
31:54
Speaker 1: we've been through enough cases at this point to know
31:57
Speaker 1: and understand that this is a tactic used by the defense.
32:02
Speaker 1: And they're going to do everything they possibly can to
32:04
Speaker 1: try and change the narrative. Prosecutors claim their motion is
32:08
Speaker 1: motivated by desperation, as the witness claims are some of
32:12
Speaker 1: the most damning evidence. In their response, they included some
32:15
Speaker 1: of the alleged voice memos between Craig and the witness,
32:19
Speaker 1: which appear to show them discussing Angela's murder. One message
32:23
Speaker 1: from February 2nd, 2023 read, Do you know anyone who
32:26
Speaker 1: can help me with my problem down here? I can
32:29
Speaker 1: pay handsomely. I want to be with you. Another from
32:32
Speaker 1: February 3rd, 2023 said, Hitting up a homeless person actually
32:36
Speaker 1: sounds like the only choice right now. Oh yeah, this
32:39
Speaker 1: is all just mundane, right? This is nothing to worry about.
32:43
Speaker 1: We weren't talking about killing my wife who ended up dying. No,
32:48
Speaker 1: that's just a big old coincidence. And hitting up a
32:51
Speaker 1: homeless person, is it? You want to surefire away to
32:54
Speaker 1: get yourself arrested? Go and involve somebody else in your bullshit.
32:58
Speaker 1: Imagine what the thought process is for somebody like this.
33:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, I don't want to be with my wife,
33:02
Speaker 1: so the best option is to kill her. I mean,
33:05
Speaker 1: for real, for real. Here's an idea, and now try
33:08
Speaker 1: and stick with me. This is very difficult to navigate,
33:10
Speaker 1: but how about a divorce? I made $ 66, 000 in January,
33:15
Speaker 1: and I want desperately to share that with you and
33:17
Speaker 1: help you. I feel so trapped. A third on February 15th,
33:21
Speaker 1: 2023 added, I'm looking forward to Thursday night so much.
33:25
Speaker 1: Maybe we can come up with a solution. I love
33:28
Speaker 1: how resourceful you are. I want to bless your life.
33:31
Speaker 1: Is this Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell all over again?
33:34
Speaker 2: I mean, for real?
33:37
Speaker 1: I love you so much. I want to bless your life.
33:40
Speaker 1: All that we're missing is the bullshit, crazy nonsense about
33:43
Speaker 1: angels showing up and Jesus Christ himself coming down to
33:46
Speaker 1: hang out. I just want to bless your life. Craig
33:50
Speaker 1: is also charged with a felony count of solicitation to
33:53
Speaker 1: commit tampering with physical evidence after it was revealed that
33:56
Speaker 1: he tried to persuade one of his daughters to dispose
33:59
Speaker 1: of key evidence in the case against him. This guy
34:02
Speaker 1: is not exactly Lex Luthor, right? Not an arch criminal,
34:05
Speaker 1: just a run-of-the-mill stupid moron who allegedly killed his wife
34:10
Speaker 1: and obviously, according to this evidence, certainly didn't cover his tracks.
34:15
Speaker 1: And trying to get your daughter involved? Talk about boneheaded ideas.
34:19
Speaker 1: The dentist was also previously accused of trying to convince
34:22
Speaker 1: a fellow jail inmate to plant suicide letters in his residence.
34:27
Speaker 1: This dude's a straight-up bozo, and he's taking his place
34:30
Speaker 1: on our wall of shame. I mean, talk about somebody
34:33
Speaker 1: that was destined to get caught. Some people just aren't
34:37
Speaker 1: cut out to be criminals, right? And this guy falls
34:39
Speaker 1: into that category. Aurora Police Detective Bobby Olson, the lead
34:43
Speaker 1: detective on the case, said that she spoke with an
34:46
Speaker 1: inmate who was imprisoned in a cell near Craig. She
34:49
Speaker 1: told the judge and court that Craig reportedly told the
34:53
Speaker 1: inmate about his charges and asked them to place letters
34:57
Speaker 1: in his garage and truck at his home. Olsen testified
35:01
Speaker 1: that the letters were allegedly written from inside the prison
35:04
Speaker 1: and meant to appear as his deceased wife had written them.
35:07
Speaker 1: According to the detective, the letters were meant to show
35:10
Speaker 1: that Angela was not happy with her life, felt suicidal,
35:14
Speaker 1: and was aware about her husband's affair. She testified that
35:18
Speaker 1: the entire point of those letters being written and spread
35:21
Speaker 1: across the house was so that law enforcement or defense
35:24
Speaker 1: attorneys could find them letters. Yeah, to throw them off
35:26
Speaker 1: the scent, to try and create a different narrative here.
35:29
Speaker 1: Olsen also told the court that the accused murderer had
35:33
Speaker 1: offered the inmate free dental work or money in exchange
35:36
Speaker 1: for scattering the letters across his house. Free dental work
35:39
Speaker 1: from the jail cell? How else are you going to
35:41
Speaker 1: give them any kind of dental work, homie? You're going
35:44
Speaker 1: to be locked up the rest of your life. This
35:46
Speaker 1: inmate was probably like, you know what? Okay, sure, whatever
35:49
Speaker 1: you have to say, pal. Yeah, I'll do that for you.
35:52
Speaker 1: Bro went straight to the authorities and dimed them out. However,
35:56
Speaker 1: the inmate did not take up the offer and instead
35:59
Speaker 1: contacted the authorities. But defense attorney Andrew Ho fired back
36:03
Speaker 1: and said that pointed out that the inmate only contacted
36:06
Speaker 1: authorities after Craig's initial preliminary hearing brought in media attention. However,
36:12
Speaker 1: the judge ruled the prosecution established probable cause and met
36:16
Speaker 1: their burden of proof. Mark Prey, 55, Angela's brother, previously
36:20
Speaker 1: spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com and said he wanted to thank
36:24
Speaker 1: the Aurora detectives and the DA's office for their unwavering
36:28
Speaker 1: dedication for seeking justice for his beloved sister's senseless murder.
36:32
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I don't think there'd be a
36:34
Speaker 1: jail safe enough for this dude to hide in if
36:36
Speaker 1: he killed my sister. You ever see the movie Law-Abiding Citizen?
36:40
Speaker 1: That would be your boy. The heinous actions of her
36:43
Speaker 1: killer have left a void in the lives of her children,
36:46
Speaker 1: our family, her countless friends, and the world, depriving us
36:49
Speaker 1: of Angie's love and light, he said. According to Prey,
36:54
Speaker 1: this cowardly act, driven by self-absorption, is a stark reminder
36:58
Speaker 1: of the depths of human depravity. The recent revelation of
37:02
Speaker 1: evidence tampering serves as damning proof, not only of his
37:05
Speaker 1: guilt in orchestrating Angie's torment and demise, but also of
37:09
Speaker 1: the utter disregard and for the well-being of those around him,
37:12
Speaker 1: including his own children. Prey continued, He manipulates and exploits
37:17
Speaker 1: anyone and anything to evade accountability for his monstrous deeds. However,
37:22
Speaker 1: his reckoning is inevitable. Whether in this life or the next,
37:26
Speaker 1: justice will prevail, and he will face the consequences of
37:29
Speaker 1: his actions. According to police records, Angela started feeling unwell
37:34
Speaker 1: after drinking a shake that her husband made for her
37:37
Speaker 1: on March 6, 2023. Over the next 10 days, she
37:41
Speaker 1: visited the hospital three times, complaining of nausea and dizziness,
37:44
Speaker 1: but doctors couldn't determine what was causing her illness. On
37:48
Speaker 1: March 15th, her brother took her to the hospital again.
37:51
Speaker 1: She had a seizure soon afterwards, lost brain function, and died.
37:56
Speaker 1: After being arrested a few days after Angela's death, Craig
37:59
Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and tampering with physical
38:02
Speaker 1: evidence in October of 2023. In the days following her death,
38:07
Speaker 1: A deeply disturbing picture emerged of the life lived by
38:10
Speaker 1: the devoted wife of 23 years and mother who committed
38:13
Speaker 1: herself to her marriage despite her husband's numerous infidelities, self-confessed
38:18
Speaker 1: porn addiction, and a worrisome gambling habit that ran alongside him,
38:23
Speaker 1: running his company into the ground. DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that
38:28
Speaker 1: Craig's latest mistress was orthodontist Karen Kane, 50, from Marble.
38:33
Speaker 2: Falls, Texas.
38:34
Speaker 1: She flew to be by his side as his wife
38:37
Speaker 1: lay dying in the hospital, but has since claimed she
38:39
Speaker 1: knew nothing of Craig's supposed plan to start a new
38:42
Speaker 1: life with her. Oh yeah, I'm sure that this was
38:44
Speaker 1: just done on his own, and she had no idea
38:47
Speaker 1: what was going on. Meanwhile, the 52-page probable cause document
38:52
Speaker 1: filed in Arapahoe District Court detailed the allegedly calculated and
38:56
Speaker 1: heinous plot that saw Craig allegedly research and purchase poisons online,
39:01
Speaker 1: then deliver them to his unsuspecting wife through potassium cyanide-laced
39:05
Speaker 1: protein shakes. Text messages exchanged between the couple show Craig
39:10
Speaker 1: apparently feigning concern for his wife, even as she lay hospitalized,
39:14
Speaker 1: frightened and dying, who was suffering through the symptoms of
39:17
Speaker 1: the poison he allegedly gave her. This dude's a straight-up monster. Helicopters, volcanoes.
39:23
Speaker 1: While Angela deteriorated in the hospital, Craig flew his mistress
39:27
Speaker 1: from Texas, rushing from his wife's hospital bedside. to her
39:31
Speaker 1: while telling Angela how much he wished he could stay longer.
39:35
Speaker 1: It is a reality that shocked all those who thought
39:37
Speaker 1: that they knew Craig and had bought into the carefully
39:40
Speaker 1: curated image of a picture-perfect family that he presented. Living
39:45
Speaker 1: in an upscale development with parks and nature reserve and playgrounds,
39:49
Speaker 1: The Craigs were a family who seemed to have it all. Yeah, well,
39:53
Speaker 1: until the light goes off and they think they're in private,
39:56
Speaker 1: then we really know who people are. It's one thing
39:59
Speaker 1: to present yourself in a good light in the public,
40:02
Speaker 1: but we all know that when the lights go off
40:04
Speaker 1: and the door closes, a lot of times it's something
40:07
Speaker 1: completely different. But the probable cause affidavit claims that behind
40:11
Speaker 1: closed doors, Craig drugged Angela five or six years ago
40:15
Speaker 1: in an incident He attempted to explain away by claiming
40:18
Speaker 1: he intended to commit suicide and didn't want her to
40:21
Speaker 1: stop him. Imagine somebody giving you that BS story after
40:24
Speaker 1: trying to poison you. Here's an idea. Leave said person.
40:29
Speaker 1: No reason to stay with them. I don't care what
40:31
Speaker 1: the reasons are.
40:32
Speaker 2: Kids, whatever.
40:33
Speaker 1: There is no good reason to stay with anybody who's
40:36
Speaker 1: trying to kill you. Meanwhile, his wife was struggling to
40:39
Speaker 1: stay in a marriage riven by his repeated affairs, dire
40:42
Speaker 1: financial problems, and addiction. According to the charging documents, it
40:47
Speaker 1: was in his office in a darkened exam room that
40:50
Speaker 1: Craig allegedly researched and purchased poison online, and it was
40:54
Speaker 1: on this address that he had a package containing potassium
40:57
Speaker 1: cyanide delivered March 13th. In an earlier delivery of arsenic
41:02
Speaker 1: that was found to have been made to his home
41:04
Speaker 1: on March 4th, the later delivery raised concerns when a
41:07
Speaker 1: staff member who had not got the message to not
41:10
Speaker 1: open what Craig described as a personal package opened it
41:13
Speaker 1: and can think of no medical reason for the purchase.
41:16
Speaker 1: She googled the chemical, labeled a biohazard, and realized how
41:20
Speaker 1: closely the symptoms of cyanide poisoning mirrored those being suffered
41:24
Speaker 1: by Angela. It was Craig's business partner who reported the
41:27
Speaker 1: concerns to a nurse at University Hospital. The nurse, in turn,
41:31
Speaker 1: informed law enforcement, setting in motion the investigation that led
41:35
Speaker 1: to Craig's arrest and charging. His trial is scheduled for August. Oh,
41:40
Speaker 1: you already know we're going to be covering this one.
41:43
Speaker 1: because this dude looks to me like he's guilty as hell.
41:47
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see how it all breaks, and obviously,
41:50
Speaker 1: like always, things can change. But as of now, folks,
41:54
Speaker 1: helicopters and volcanoes seem to be in Mr. Craig's future.
41:59
