If Randy Roth was randomly asked to describe his perfect woman, he would say submissive,

doesn't talk, doesn't object, and is insured for a large sum of money and is prone to fatal accidents.

Randy had a talent for seducing single mothers. His black widow activity went on until his

fourth wife drowned under mysterious

circumstances. Randy managed to kill two of his four wives for a financial gain, and having

the bodies quickly cremated didn't help in him creating the portrait of a mourning husband.

But he seemed to wipe away those tears with the life insurance money.

Welcome to 10-minute murder, brief and bingeable true crime. My name is Joe. I'm the host, and thank you for joining today. Now, if you've been a listener of this podcast for any duration of time in the past, you know that those episodes sound different than this one sounds right now.

for my regular job, and now I'm sitting on this bed doing a podcast episode,

just to make sure that you guys have some content.

And I've already had the research done, so I thought, why not?

So here we are doing this.

Now, there are a couple things to keep in mind,

several random noises that you could possibly hear that I'm going to need you to ignore.

One of those being the air conditioner kicking on randomly.

If you're like me when you check into a hotel room, you set that boy on 65 degrees.

So that air conditioner is going to kick on at some point.

Also, for whatever reason, my hotel room door is right beside the busiest elevator in the history of elevators.
