BLOOD SPOT!
Trophy-hunting dentist charged with murdering wife on safari!
G-MEN put the bite on a love rat dentist for killing his wife during an African big-game hunt, getting her corpse cremated in a hurry and reaping millions from life insurance policies!
Pennsylvania trophy hunter Lawrence Rudolph, 67, is under the gun after the feds shot holes in his story that his wife, Bianca Finizio Rudolph, died when a shotgun she was packing accidentally discharged — straight into her heart. The bloodthirsty doc claims he was in the bathroom of the Zambia cabin at the time of the 2016 tragedy.
Now the owner of Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Dental is charged with foreign murder and mail fraud. Officials say he made a killing by bagging $4.8 million in benefits from seven life insurance companies!
Originally, Zambian officials ruled the Oct. 11, 2016, shooting an accident. But a professional hunting guide on the scene “recalled seeing the shotgun and an expanded shotshell on the ground. The shotgun was inside a partially zipped gun case,” the feds claim.
A Colorado medical examiner who studied photos taken after the safari shooting says: “In my opinion, it would be physically impossible to accidentally fire this shotgun in its carrying case and produce the entrance defect noted on the body of Ms. Rudolph.”
The FBI first got involved after a female tipster — whose name was not disclosed — claimed the dirty dentist was “verbally abusive” and had been cheating on his wife. He was shacked up with his dental assistant just three months after Bianca’s bizarre death, investigators say.
Even the U.S. consular chief who took the dentist’s call the day of the shooting thought the hunter’s behavior was squirrelly. The government official “told the FBI he had a bad feeling about the situation, which he thought was moving too quickly,”
according to authorities.
The consular chief, whose name was not revealed, was so concerned Rudolph was rushing the body to a quick cremation, he went to the funeral and took photos to preserve evidence, lawmen say!
But attorney David Oscar Markus says the feds just want to hang the dentist’s head on their wall insisting, “This is an outrageous prosecution against Dr. Larry Rudolph, a man who loved his wife of 34 years and did not kill her.”
