The wealthy dentist who killed his wife in Zambia at the end of an African safari is scheduled to receive a life sentence on Monday, according to the prosecution, for the murder, which they claim was the culmination of a lifetime “spent seeking domination and control over others through wealth and power.”
U.S. government prosecutors will also try to recover from Larry Rudolph an estimated $25 million in reparations, confiscated property, and fines at the hearing in a federal court in Denver. Also, he was found guilty of mail fraud in federal court the previous year for paying out roughly $5 million in insurance policies for his wife, Bianca Rudolph.
During the trial, Larry Rudolph maintained that his wife’s death in the country of southern Africa in 2016 was the result of an accident. His attorneys intend to challenge the judgment.
On her last morning in Zambia, Rudolph, the owner of a dentistry franchise in the Pittsburgh area, allegedly shot his 34-year-old wife in the heart with a shotgun. Rudolph then allegedly put the pistol in its soft case to make it appear as though she had accidentally shot herself while packing. During their trip, the couple had gone on a hunting expedition.
Additionally, they assert that the location—which was roughly 80 miles (129 kilometers) from the closest police station—was the ideal place for him to attempt to get away with the crime, where he hurried to have his wife cremated and threatened the people who were looking into her death.

Potential Prison Term and Financial Consequences
According to what the prosecution is requesting, Larry Rudolph could receive further prison time for mail fraud in addition to paying a fine of about $10 million, forfeiting millions of dollars in assets, and compensating the insurance companies.
Bianca Rudolph’s death, according to Zambian investigators and those working for the insurers, was an accident. According to the defense in court filings, the insurance companies, some of which had their headquarters in Colorado, then had to pay out the life insurance due to her passing.
Nonetheless, Rudolph was detained over five years after her passing as a result of an FBI investigation that deployed investigators to other countries to gather information and speak with witnesses.
During one of their arguments in early 2020, a bartender at a steakhouse in Phoenix, where Milliron relocated to be with Rudolph following Bianca’s passing, claimed to have overheard Rudolph screaming.
Brian Lovelace stated that because of the music, he was unable to hear the words that came before that.
Rudolph claimed that when he learned that the FBI was looking into him, he actually exclaimed, “Now they’re saying I killed my f—-g wife for you!”
According to court documents, prosecutors want Rudolph to lose $4.8 million from bank accounts, $4.9 million in reparations to the insurance firms, as well as homes in Arizona and Pennsylvania, an Aston Martin DB-11, and a Bentley Bentayga.
