0:00.0	In October of 2016, Larry and Bianca Rudolph were on a hunting safari in Africa, but what was
0:06.2	meant to be another adventure turned into tragedy. On the last day of their trip, Bianca was found
0:11.6	dead and suspicion quickly fell on Larry. Their story began two years earlier at the University of
0:17.8	Pittsburgh, where they met, married, and built a family. While Larry
0:22.5	thrived as a dentist, their relationship was marred by infidelity, particularly by his affair with
0:27.8	Laurie Millian. In 2006, Larry claimed to have survived a crocodile attack during a safari,
0:34.4	but inconsistencies in his story raised suspicions. Then, in October of 2016,
0:40.2	Bianca was shot and killed in their cabin in Zambia. Larry's version of events, suggesting that it was
0:47.0	a suicide or an accident, just didn't really hold up, and it led to a lot of questions about

1:34.3	just two young college students at the University of Pittsburgh. It was in the cafeteria of the
1:38.8	university that Bianca met Larry, who at the time was a student at the university's dental school.
1:45.8	Larry was four years older than Bianca, and after they both graduated, the couple ended up getting married in 1982.
1:52.1	After the wedding, Larry went on to open his own dental practice called The Dentistry. Initially,
1:58.0	Bianca worked at the same practice with her new husband, but eventually the couple had two kids, a son and a daughter, and Bianca chose to spend more time at home than at the office.
2:07.7	Those that knew Bianca described her as an amazing mom and a very kind and caring person who would do anything for her kids.
