A Pennsylvania dentist gunned down his wife during an Africa hunting trip so he could collect nearly $5,000,000 in life insurance and start a new life with his longtime mistress, authorities say.

down his wife during an Africa hunting trip so he could collect nearly $5 million in life insurance and start a new life with his longtime mistress, authorities said.

"Lawrence Rudolph murdered his wife," FBI Special Agent Donald Peterson wrote in an affidavit,"as part of a scheme to defraud life insurance companies and to obtain money and property from them through the false and fraudulent pretense, representation and promise that the death was an accident." "Larry is never going to divorce her because he doesn't want to lose his money, and she's never going to divorce him because of her Catholicism," the friend told agents, according to the complaint.

He immediately moved to have her remains cremated in Zambia, which drew suspicion of the U.S. consular chief in Zambia, federal authorities said. The diplomat went to the funeral home with"two others from the embassy to take photographs of the body and preserve any potential evidence," according to Peterson.

From Oct. 31 to Nov. 7 in 2016, Rudolph moved to claim seven different life insurance policies which were all paid out in the first quarter of 2017 for $4,877,744.93, according to records obtained by the FBI. "Refusing to accept this, Colorado-based FBI agents spent five years crisscrossing the country and traveling to Africa to come up with a nefarious narrative," Markus wrote.

When someone dies in a slightly suspicious manner their romantic partner is first, second, and third suspect. For good statistical reasons. The large life insurance policy is just the sugar on top.

Seen that movie before

Well ...he was in love n desperate. So he took her on a hunting expedition n killed her. Outside the US.

'Proudly displaying a ram, elk and hippopotamus he had apparently killed' People who kill these innocent creatures are psychopaths and you'll never convince me otherwise.

So if your spouse asks you to join him on a African hunting trip.. you're supposed to decline right?

And his mistress could trust him as a murderer? She must be a good one !

Age of the oldest known Homo sapiens from eastern Africa - NatureGeochemical analyses correlating the stratum that overlies the sediments containing the Omo fossils with material from a volcanic eruption suggest that these fossils (the oldest known modern human fossils in eastern Africa) are over 200,000 years old. If the ash was from a prior eruption and merely expelled from the volcano after Omo I's death, wouldn't that put older minerals on top of newer fossils?
