The Fatal Morning in Zambia
Prosecutors said that on the couple’s last morning in Zambia, Rudolph shot Bianca in the heart with a shotgun. He then staged it to look like an accident while she was packing.
Friends, skeptical of the explanation, contacted the FBI, providing specific details that reignited the investigation. The Zambian authorities made a quick initial ruling that the death was accidental.
“The friends were crucial in getting it on the FBI’s radar,” Sloane explained. “They were the engine.”
