Hey, everybody. Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialessly with me, Annie Elise. Today's episode is a little bit different than what we normally do. As you can see, we're releasing it on a day that's not a Monday or Thursday, which are our typical days. And that's because it's a bonus episode. And the reason I wanted to put this episode out there is it's one that we covered quite a few years ago. But I recently was like perusing Hulu, trying to figure out what new documentaries were out, different docuseries. And the
was one that came up and it immediately looked familiar. I was like, wait, I've covered this case.
And I'm noticing it starting to kind of pick up traction and go viral. And a lot of people have
questions about it. So I figured for those of you who either have seen the docu-series and documentary and
like want to get more information on it or if you are looking for just a little extra bonus case,
that's perfect too. So I figured we might as well just talk about it today. And let me just start
by saying this. Okay. I want you to close your eyes, not if you're driving, only if you're somewhere safe.
and I want you to picture this. You're on a luxury safari with your wife of 30 years.
You're hunting leopards of all things. You're really just living the high life. But then, out of nowhere,
boom, your wife is dead from a shotgun blast. Tragic accident? Maybe. Until you realize that this
so-called grieving husband has had a mistress for 15 years back at home. He's also taken out millions of
in life insurance policies, and he even has a history of very sketchy animal attacks.
Now, like I said, I've covered this one before, but now there's a whole lot more to dig into,
and there's that three-part Hulu series called Trophy Wife Murder on Safari.
So buckle up, guys, because this is one that's got like crocodiles,
cremation conspiracies, a dentist with a god complex, and so much more.
So we're going to be talking all about Larry and Bianca Rudolph.
Now, Bianca was a truly beautiful woman.
She had this long, curly hair, kind of reddish, brownish, these big blue eyes.
And while we don't know much about her early years, we do know that she eventually went on to pursue education at the University of Pittsburgh.
And that is where she met another student named Larry Rudolph, and he was studying to become a dentist.
They quickly fell in love and got married in 1982, right after he finished dental school.
All was right in their world.
and they raised two children, Anna and Julian, and were just living a fantastic love story.
Their son Julian has said that his dad, Larry, was, quote, a good father, generous, charismatic,
while Bianca, he says, was an amazing mother, even his best friend.
And Julian also said that his father worked quite a bit, actually his direct quote, was,
worked a lot, in order to allow Bianca to stay at home with Julian and his sister.
Larry opened up a dental practice called Three Rivers Dental in Pennsylvania,
and his dental practice, quickly becoming successful, started opening up multiple branches.
Well, in 2012, Larry and Bianca moved to Arizona.
So Larry traveled back and forth from Pennsylvania to Arizona for work,
but by then, he had other doctors working for him in the practice that could do most of the work.
So he would kind of just go back and forth checking in.
And by 2016, they had five branches and were worth an estimated $10 million.
Everybody loved Dr. Rudolph.
Well, the patients loved Dr. Rudolph, at least, because patient reviews painted a picture of a kind,
genuine dentist who went above and beyond for his patients. However, employee reviews were a little bit
different. Many employees said that their days were long, with no breaks, and constantly were
being reprimanded and scrutinized. But nonetheless, clients or prospective clients aren't really
looking at how employees feel or employee reviews when finding a dentist. They're cruising on Yelp.
They're not going on Glass Store. They're mostly looking at the patient.
which by all accounts looked great and had amassed over 100,000 patients. But when he wasn't
working, the two of them spent lots of time hunting for big game, which big game means animals that
are larger than rabbits and squirrels. You know, think like tigers, lions, elephants, things like
that. And the two of them visited many countries and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on
these hunting trips. It was something that was very important to the two of them. So with Larry and
Bianca's shared love for hunting. The two of them decided to take a hunting trip from September
27, 2016 to October 11, 2016, to Zambia. Zambia was a place that they had gone many times prior,
but this trip was different, and this one was important. The sole focus of this trip was to let
Bianca have the opportunity to hunt a leopard, which was a very big goal of hers. So Larry wasn't
planning on hunting this trip, so he didn't get the license to hunt. Instead, his goal was to support
Bianca and her efforts. So they headed to Zambia on September 27th with two guns in tow.
The two guns were a Remington, 375 rifle, and a 12-gauge browning shotgun. They stayed in a one-bedroom
cabin near the Caffew River, and it was a place that they had stayed at before, and not only just
stayed at, but also had an alleged crocodile attack at. Now, let's quickly talk about this attack,
and then we'll come back to this trip. So in 2006, Larry went to stay at the cabins in Caffew.
now allegedly he decided to go fishing alone at sunrise but he says that what happened next was something that made his career much harder for him and really life-changing larry says that he was bringing a fish in that he had caught but when he reached for it a crocodile grabbed him and pulled him in he said that the crocodile bit his thumb but that he was able to get to a rock and then fire his gun for help but the medic said that larry appeared quite calm for a crocodile attack and that his pants
were just damp, which is odd considering he said that he was pulled all the way in by this crocodile.
He had a few scrapes and cuts, but also nothing major. However, once he was back in the U.S.,
he reached out to an attorney about getting disability payments. He ended up making about $30,000
per month on disability, but was still working, making other money with his dental practice,
despite that legally he was not supposed to be working if he was collecting this disability.
He collected around $3.5 million of insurance money, as well, claiming that it destroyed his career.
Now, clearly it didn't, considering that he was still working, but many people who know him also don't think that he was actually attacked by a crocodile.
They think that he actually ripped his own thumb by himself in an effort to get money, which to me seems like the first sign of a very financially greedy person willing to risk it all for money.
So now let's go back to this 2016 trip to Zambia.
The trip seemingly was going well.
A witness said that Larry was very attentive to Bianca's needs throughout the entire trip.
One night, apparently they even danced to Simply the Best by Tina Turner while they were
outside just looking at each other, glowing, and in love.
They looked like a happy and in love couple.
On that trip, Bianca never was able to shoot that leopard as she had hoped for.
However, she did get a zebra, so apparently a little bit of a win.
She was asked if she wanted to extend her trip, but she said no because her nephew was getting married four days after they were due back.
She's a very close-knit Italian family and would never miss an event like that.
But what she didn't know was that she would never make it back for that wedding, regardless of if she wanted to stay or not.
On the morning of the 11th, Larry and Bianca were packing up to head home when employees from the cabins heard a loud gunshot.
When they rushed over to see what was going on, Larry was lying over Bianca's boss.
body. A witness said he was yelling, my wife has just taken her life over and over again.
Bianca was lying by a dresser and someone immediately went to get a medical kit. There was a hole
on her black t-shirt and her bra. The bullet had hit the left side of her heart. In a flash,
her life was over, and it was too late to save her at this point. So Larry yelled, what am I going to
tell my kids? And even tried to throw himself into the river at one point, but was stopped by an
employee. So was this a display of dramatics or a genuinely distraught husband and father?
What happened next is a very, very strange series of events, to put it mildly.
As investigations continued, stories were just not adding up. Initially, Larry had told the tour guide
who ran into the cabin that he was taking a shower when this all went down. However, he had full
clothes on, including shoes and he wasn't wet at all, which seems very odd that within 30 seconds
snap of your fingers, he could dry off, get dressed, throw on his shoes, and be hovering over
his wife's lifeless body. And Larry told another guide that he was in the bathroom with, quote
unquote, the shits, I mean, gross, if you're going to lie, at least like live outside and it's not so
gross. So, but two different stories. So which one was it? There are two very different scenarios.
But coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, both scenarios were removing him from the actual scene of her death.
In fact, that same guide mark says that he and Larry were discussing theories on whether Bianca's death may have been accidental while they were on the way to alert police of her death, whereas, remember, his initial outcry was that she did this intentionally, because now Larry's claim was that she was packing the gun, and that's when she shot herself.
Some of the theories included her long acrylic nails, and could they have accidentally hit the trigger while packing the gun, or that maybe the zipper got stuck and she possibly slammed the butt of the gun down, and it was a misfire.
In any event, 11 hours after Bianca died, Larry was already calling the U.S. Embassy to figure
out how he could cremate her body. He was wanting her cremated as soon as he possibly could.
However, Bianca was actually very against being cremated. She was a practicing Catholic,
and she believed that it was not right to have a cremation. She even had discussed that with her
friends. But of course, Larry didn't care about that. He said it was apparently too difficult to take
her body back to the States. So was it really too difficult? Or was it that he was trying to destroy
evidence and avoid an autopsy being performed? Because remember those pictures of the big animals that they
had shot and killed? He never had any problem getting those back to the United States, yet this time
it was too difficult to take his wife home. The consular chief on the other end of the phone
was beginning to get increasingly bad vibes over this. In Zambia, a body cannot be cremated
before the funeral home receives the report from the forensic pathologist. Typically, this takes a few
days or sometimes even longer. However, quickly after all of this, the funeral home alerted the chief
saying that they would be cremating her the very next day. The chief, taking all of the timing into account,
realized this was so incredibly fast and that there had to be something more going on here. So he tipped off
the FBI, and thank goodness he did so. Not only did he tip off the FBI, but he and two other people
decided to go to the funeral home to take photos and preserve evidence for any potential crimes
that could have been committed. The chief had actually been a longtime Marine and knew from past
experience that something here just was not lining up. The first thing that he noticed was that
the gunshot was directly on the heart. Another thing was that there was no evidence of gas burn
or tissue expansion. Now those typically happen when a gun is directly on the body when fired.
In other words, when you're taking your own life or something happens in very close,
proximity, you're going to see that happen. There was also another wound from the waiting of the gun.
So all of that led him to believe that the gun was not directly on Bianca and that this was a shot from
close proximity, but not intentionally done on her own. From his experience, he believed that she was
shot from about six to eight feet away, which wouldn't make sense if she had shot herself. So when
Larry found out that the chief and others went to take photos and investigate, he went absolutely
ballistic and actually called the chief. He was freaking out saying that this was an invasion of
privacy and he wouldn't stop talking about the Privacy Act. Now for someone who was so worried and so
confused about what happened to his wife, he sure was freaking out over the wrong thing here.
The investigation would be to give him answers. But clearly, he didn't mean the answers from them.
He probably knew the answers. And he didn't want them to find out the answers. So during
that discussion with the chief, the chief asked Larry if he would like him to notify their children.
And what Larry said next was very bizarre.
He said no, and that he would notify them.
But he also noted that the children were from a previous marriage.
But here's the thing, those two kids were he and Bianca's kids.
So what on earth could be the reason for him to lie about that?
Did he think that if the investigators talked to his children,
they would potentially try to pry into his life,
and maybe he was potentially hiding more skeletons in his closet?
He also told them that he didn't know anything about the gun
that took Bianca's life, but the gun was his gun. Again, very strange. Now, hours after that
phone call, Anna, their daughter, who had started working at the dental practice, began freaking out
at work because neither she nor her brother could get a hold of their mom, Bianca. And this was
highly unlike her, especially since she should have already been home by then. Now, Larry didn't
tell his children for a week about their mother's death, for a week. And he was very vague,
when he did in fact end up telling them. Anna was, of course, very confused about why her mom was
cremated when she was Catholic, but she was just told by her father, it's in the will. But was it?
Or was she just being told something by her father to shut her up and to satisfy her, as she had been
actually told to do so before? Two weeks after everyone was made aware of Bianca's deaths,
one of Bianca's closest friends contacted the FBI. This is the same friend that Bianca had discussed
not approving of cremation with. This friend told the FBI that Larry and Bianca had a very
rough relationship. Allegedly, there was verbal altercations at times, fights about money, threats
of divorce, and multiple affairs. And at the time of Bianca's murder, Larry was having an affair
with none other than his former hygienist from his office. But this affair was weird, guys.
It had been going on for 15 to 20 years. It was known in the office, and Larry knew that Bianca,
knew, but that she would never leave him due to her religious beliefs. Most of the staff also knew
about it, but everyone just put up with it and shut up because they didn't want to risk losing their
jobs. Lori Milliron is the name of the lady that Larry was having this affair with. The two of them
went on many vacations together as well, spanning around 60 days per year between 2003 and 2008. They
went to destinations including Cabo, Africa, Paris, New Zealand, and so many more. It's just
absolutely disgusting. Exploiting your wife's religious beliefs and using them against her,
knowing she won't leave you, and then prancing around on vacations with your mistress for nearly two
decades. Not only is that just cruel, but it's absolutely disgusting. So Lori had gone to many
events with him, and many people knew that she was also part of the problem. But Bianca pushed back.
It's clear that she was ashamed as she was fighting and trying to say that she was in a happy marriage
and that the affair was not happening, just in denial.
But doing that only fueled the fire and allowed Larry to continue on his massive path of
destruction.
Pass forward to the summer of 2015, Larry asked his Hispanic contractor,
Hey, do you have any cousins or amigos in Mexico that can come up here and make somebody
disappear?
And guys, that is a direct quote.
I'm not putting those words in myself.
This is what this creep ass said.
so the contractor who goes by Amos said he didn't know of anybody. Larry then showed him $25,000 as a commission. Obviously, such a weird series of events, but why would he do that? Where did that come from? Who needed to disappear? Well, a former manager of Larry's dental practice can explain that one. Her name is Anna Grimley. She had just moved into town for the new position at the office during the summer of 2015, so Lori came over to Anna's with a bottle of wine to help her set up a dresser. But,
Anna got a whole lot more from that visit than just a dresser. Allegedly, Lori proceeded to tell her
about the affair and explained how Larry had been giving her tons of money. They were supposed to
use that money to up and leave together, but that never happened. And allegedly, Lori told Anna
that that's when she decided to give Larry an ultimatum, the ultimatum being that he had one year
to get rid of Bianca. So then he reaches out to the contractor, asks him if he knows how to make anybody
disappear, and he's trying to put his plan in motion. Then, in May of 2016, the time is
almost up, and it happened to also be the same time when Bianca found another woman's hair in her bed,
and that hair was none other than Lori's. Bianca told Larry's assistant that she was thinking
about divorce, finally, after all this time. And she confronted Larry about the divorce and about
the affair, but he denied it, so she showed him the emails proving it. He told her he would end things,
he would end things with Lori and they would be okay.
Two months later in July, Bianca said that understanding and forgiveness is required for a long-term marriage,
and that's when they started to plan this Africa trip.
So was this trip just one of their regular excursions,
or was this trip planned as a ruse to show Bianca they were moving forward in a positive direction with their marriage
and that he was leaving all of his infidelities and indiscretions behind them?
Well, regardless of the reasoning behind the trip together, there was one problem.
Things never actually ended with Lori. In fact, just a day after Bianca's funeral, Larry bought
Lori a ticket to visit him, although he quickly canceled the reservation, probably realizing that he
was going to look at and get caught up and trip himself up. But the very next day, Lori bought a
ticket to Vegas, and the two of them met there. They spent all of their time watching and tweeting
about the 2016 election having absolutely no idea that the FBI was starting to become very
suspicious of the circumstances. Not only were they doing that, but Larry was filing life insurance
claims left and right. By spring of 2017, he had filed under nine different policies for life
insurance and accidental death claims. He even went so far as to FedEx documents for one of them.
Now, unfortunately, there wasn't enough information to not accept the claims and pay them. So that's
what the companies did. And the FBI realized that less than six months prior to be on
his death, they had actually set up a survivor's trust, one more sign that this was premeditated
and planned out. In total, Larry collected $4,877,000. In summer of 2017, Larry put some of that
money to use by purchasing land for $3.5 million to build a custom home for mistress Lori.
The two's relationship continued with them gallivanting around as if nothing ever had
happened. Although, when out sometimes, Lori apparently would notice certain people looking at them
and was always worried that it was the FBI. Now, behind the scenes, the FBI were conducting insane
amounts of testing to prove that Larry was responsible for the death of Bianca. Remember, Bianca was
cremated, so they were unable to measure her arms next to the gun to see if that was actually
plausible. But they had that same friend who tipped them off, helped them. They took a photo that she had
of she and Bianca and used that. They had the friend wear that same dress and took measurements
and then compared it with the photo. They were able to get approximate arm sizes by using that.
Then they had a study with a bunch of women with the same size arms. They had the women hold
the gun a certain way, try to zip up the bag a certain way, and almost all of the things
you could possibly think of. And most of the things that they asked these women to do, they were
unable to do. They even recreated it 100 times that exact gun bag that Bianca.
was allegedly loading when the gun went off.
During that study, they could not find a possible way where Bianca would have been the one
discharging the gun.
Also, the way Larry claims her death happened would mean that she went directly against
all gun safety rules.
Given that she was an avid hunter, that just would not make sense.
They also conducted interviews with all of the witnesses.
They found a witness that directly saw him empty the gun the night before at the end of
their hunting session.
So why would the gun be reloaded if they weren't planning on using it and they were just packing up to go home?
And if all of that wasn't enough, there was another witness, a bartender who says that he overheard a conversation between Larry and Lori.
And what he heard will absolutely shock you.
He pointed his finger in Lori's face and said, I kill my wife for you.
So finally, the FBI had enough information to piece it all together.
On December 21st, 2021, while in Rue on a flight to Cabo, the feds hopped aboard, they sat quietly during the whole flight, and after landing, they arrested Larry, yelling, we got him.
Later, Lori said that they were betrayed by their own government and that it was a witch hunt, somehow making herself the victim in all of this, as though they are the ones who were betrayed in this entire scenario.
I mean, it's just the most narcissistic and absolute soulless response you could have in that moment.
Larry was charged with foreign murder and mail fraud of seven life insurers.
He pled not guilty. A month later, which would be January, the feds showed up at Lori's
house. They wanted to know all about those deposits Larry put in her account and that
bar argument, as well as the alleged ultimatum. Lori said that the payments were because he was
generous, not because of their relationship. She also lied about the bar argument. Ultimately,
they arrested her and charged her with five counts of lying under oath, one for
for obstructing justice and another for accessory to murder. She too pled not guilty.
Then the Wonder Couple, Larry and Lori, had a joint trial in July of 2022, and a whole bunch more
details were about to come to light. And spoiler alert, they did not make Larry look very good.
Court documents are shining more light on what was reportedly happening behind closed doors.
According to the paperwork, Larry Rudolph called a personal friend and told him he was afraid of
divorce because he couldn't afford to live with what he would have left.
The paperwork also says Larry reported his net worth of $27 million.
According to statements in the documents from Bianca's friend, Bianca told her friend she was
afraid of divorcing Larry because she could not take care of herself and was afraid of losing
the kids, that she gave Larry an ultimatum about his affair and that she knew Larry might
try to kill her during the first hunting trip of 2016 but went anywhere.
to try and save her marriage.
According to the documents, Larry argues these statements are hearsay.
The paperwork also points to something else odd, propofal.
The court documents show a witness who worked with Larry and his alleged mistress, who
was a dental hygienist at his practice, was given unusual and particular instructions
for an upcoming special delivery of a vial of propofal, which is a heavy sedation medication.
The witness was told to open the package, put the propofal in the back office,
and give it to Larry. Their dental practice used outside anesthesiologists at the time and did not
keep sedation drugs in its office. Larry came in and picked up the drug saying he needed it
in case there was an accident on the upcoming October hunt. Prosecutors say that shows premeditation
for murder, even though Bianca ended up dying by gunshot. Now despite all of this evidence against him,
Larry actually took the stand in his own defense, which is not something that we see happen every day.
And today, Larry Rudolph told the jury that he did not murder his wife and could not murder his wife.
His testimony lasted over two hours.
Rudolph going into specific details about the inner workings of his open marriage with his wife, Bianca,
as well as his personal accounts of what he allegedly witnessed in that Zambian cabin where the shooting occurred back in October 2016.
Rudolph claiming that he was in the bathroom when he heard a gunshot go off and came out to find his wife bleeding on the floor.
Now, Rudolph is charged with murder and mail fraud in his case because prosecutors think that he killed his wife to get about $5 million in insurance money.
Prosecutors also believe that Rudolph wanted to take the money and run off with his girlfriend, Lori Milliron, who's being charged with lying to a grand jury and being an accessory.
Well, the defense maintains that there was no financial motive because Rudolph is already rich
and that Bianca's death happened accidentally with the gun going off while she was packing.
Zambian officials and insurance investigators also deemed the death to be accidental.
But then it gets sticky, you guys, because prosecutors argue that the gun was fired from at least three and a half feet away.
I almost think it's so interesting when people take the stand in their own defense in a murder trial.
Because a lot of the time, I mean, not always, but a lot of the time, it's because they think the
they're smarter than everybody else. They think that they can outsmart the jury. And so often it ends up
backfiring, which I got to say, we love to see. What was his downfall on the stand? You hear one of the
jurors say, which I think is the best line. Larry was Larry's downfall. So the testimony really changed
everything and ultimately resulted in the conviction. Ultimately, the trial ended with both of them
being found guilty. Larry was found guilty of murdering Bianca and of defrauding of multiple life
insurance companies. Lorry was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact to the murder,
obstruction of justice, and two counts of perjury before the grand jury.
Lori was sentenced to 17 years in prison, and good old Larry, he got life in prison.
A statement from FBI Denver special agent in charge Michael Schneider said,
The murder of Bianca Rudolph was not an easy case to investigate and prosecute, but it was the right
thing to do to seek justice for this victim, her family, and her friends.
Rudolph thought he could murder his wife overseas and get away with it. His actions raised red flags,
and the FBI was ready to step in to investigate this murder of a U.S. citizen by another U.S. citizen
in a foreign country. Now, let's talk about Larry and Bianca's kids again just for a minute here,
because at the time of the trial in 2022, both Julian and Anna totally stood behind their father.
We have seen similar situations, regardless of what you believe, in the Barry Morphew and Suzanne Morfew case,
where their two daughters have sat in Barry's corner with his defense advocating for his innocence.
Many people believe it's because children are so desperate to still have one parent in their life
that their mind can't actually even acknowledge the idea of their parent being involved in such a crime,
while there are, of course, other circumstances in which children and siblings truly do believe that their parent is innocent.
But in the years since, it seems like they've started to consider that their dad could be guilty.
I mean, at least their son Julian has.
was telling us, I'm innocent.
This is a terrible accident.
What you have to understand about the trial is that it was just a horrifying ordeal.
The visuals, the sounds, the sights in that courtroom over three weeks.
It's tattooed on my mind.
Do you still believe your dad is innocent?
No, I can't stand by that original statement because that was before we saw the evidence.
in the trial.
So do you believe your dad killed your mom?
It's incomprehensible to me.
I will say it's not totally clear
where their daughter Anna stands at this point
because she hasn't made a public statement since the trial.
She does still run her dad's dental practice, though.
So I don't know if that means that she thinks he's innocent.
It could.
Either way, one thing that Anna and Julian do have in common
is that they are not happy with what happened
to all of that insurance.
money. Remember, Larry cashed in on nearly $5 million in life insurance after Bianca's death.
But the Department of Justice has said that that money belongs to the life insurance company,
since they were technically the victims of insurance fraud. Julian and Anna, however, say that the money
should be theirs. It's a matter of right and wrong. My mother put us as the beneficiaries on those
insurance policies. So she wanted us to receive those proceeds if something ever happened to her.
insurance companies themselves have indicated. And we don't want these proceeds. And still, the
government is hell-bent on fighting us in court to give it back to the insurance companies instead of
us. And you might be wondering, okay, well, how about Lori? How has she fared in the three years
since she was found guilty? Well, in an interview from just last month, she still insisted on her
innocence, not just for herself, but also for that loser, douchebag Larry. The police did an
investigation and they said it was an accident. Everyone believed it was an accident. So I assumed
it was an accident as well. There was no ultimatum. Why would I wait 15 years to give him an
ultimatum? Now, even after all of that, like I said, this case has now been back in the headlines
recently because of that docu series on Hulu that is called Trophy Wife Murder on Safari. And guys,
the director of the series has dropped some serious bombshells. It turns out that what happened to
Bianca wasn't even the first time that someone close to Larry had a brush with death. Allegedly,
sometime after his whole, you know, an alligator bit my thumb off stunt, his dental partner
confronted him for secretly working under the table while racking in all that disability money.
And as for that partner, well, he was allegedly the victim of an assassination attempt. No charges
ever came of it, though, because of lack of evidence. But let's just say a lot of,
of people are side-eyeing Larry pretty hard. Oh, and also, by the way, according to the Hulu
team, Larry's wandering eye did not stop at Lori, not at all. They said that they got thousands,
not hundreds, thousands of stories about Larry hooking up with different women. There were in fact
so many cheating stories that they literally could not fit all of them into the series.
The director even said, and this is a direct quote, I don't think I realized that dentists had
this much sex all the time. And honestly, same. I mean, do you, but don't be a cheater. Don't be a
scumbag. I don't even know. Like, what's going on at these dental conventions? Is there like something
like in the fluoride? What the heck is going on? But you know what? That's not even what shocked me the
most. The part in this series that completely just floored me was at the very end when we learned
it's at Larry. While he is still in prison, to this day, he's still receiving massive disability checks for
his thumb injury. So even behind bars, this guy is still cashing in on his lies. I mean,
you cannot even make this stuff up. I don't know, guys. It is just ridiculous, but at least in
this case, loser Larry and his chomped off a thumb are like in jail for the rest of his
sorry life. And as for Dirtbag Lori, she's going to be behind bars for some serious time too.
And Bianca's family finally got some justice for her. So if you guys want even more details,
I feel like I summed it up pretty well for you.
But again, you can check out that Hulu docky series.
And I promise it's not a sponsored or in any way, but I know I've mentioned it quite a few times.
But I just found it interesting and I thought I would rehash this case with you guys.
So thank you for tuning into another case.
I feel like I might be doing this more frequently.
