CBSN
Lawrence "Larry" Rudolph and his wife, Bianca, were getting ready to head back to the United States after a safari vacation in Zambia, Africa, in October 2016 when tragedy struck. LARRY RUDOLPH [Safari Club International video]: "I'm here on the banks of the Kafue River in Zambia – I've been doing some lion hunting … and just having a great adventure." "Dr. Lawrence Rudolph rushed to the bedroom only to find his wife lying on the floor bleeding." … "The findings further suggested that the firearm was loaded from the previous hunting activities … causing the firearm to accidentally fire." NEWS REPORT: FBI agents believe their investigation will prove he killed his wife while on vacation before allegedly collecting millions in insurance money.
Larry, a Pittsburgh-area dentist, said he was in the bathroom, heard a gunshot, and found his wife bleeding, dead on the bedroom floor. He said while Bianca was packing the shotgun, it must have accidentally fired.
Larry's description raises questions, says retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and CBS News consultant James Gagliano. "It boggles the mind that two experienced hunters, for this to have been an accident," he tells "48 Hours."
