Safari Murder: The Deadly Love Triangle of Bianca and Larry Rudolph Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

If your husband was cheating on you, would you want to know? Or would you want to live in ignorant bliss? Bianca Rudolph claimed to know nothing about her husband Larry's affairs, but her personality seemed to dim as time went on. They continued to work on their marriage by going on special safari trips to Africa to hunt and spend time together. Things appeared fine between them. That was, until, a shot rang out from their small cabin in Zambia, Africa, leaving Bianca dead. Larry explained her death as a mere accident, claiming she shot herself while trying to pack her gun away. But as Larry moves on with his mistress-turned-girlfriend, Lori, the people around them can't help but wonder how quickly she took Bianca's spot. The rising suspicion prompted the FBI to take another look at Bianca's death, and what they found unraveled Larry's story, making him and his mistress the prime suspects.

Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how this messy love triangle turned deadly.

The Unsolved Murder of Chandra Levy May 30, 2023

Taking the time to grow and live in a city completely different than where you're from can feel liberating. 24-year-old Chandra Levy was working towards her Master's Degree, finishing up her last requirement for graduation at a Washington D.C. internship. Right before she was set to return home to attend her graduation, she failed to call her parents to make her flight arrangements. After not hearing from her for days, her parents make the trip all the way from California to find their daughter. For a minute, there were no leads. That was, until, Chandra's parents discovered she was having a secret relationship with a well-known politician. Soon, police get ahold of Chandra's laptop history and are led to search a huge park in Washington D.C. What they failed to find in the weeks following Chandra's disappearance would be found a year later along with other clues.
