A battle continues in Colorado federal court over the estate of a woman murdered in 2016 on African safari by her husband, a former Greensburg-area dentist.

Julian and AnaBianca Rudolph — the children of 57-year-old Bianca — are seeking their inheritance, claiming they are lawfully entitled to life insurance proceeds now valued at $10 million, according to court filings.

But prosecutors have said in court filings the two children lack legal standing and are seeking forfeiture of the cash because Lawrence “Larry” Rudolph cashed out $4.8 million in life insurance claims after killing his wife, according to trial testimony. He was convicted in August of murder and mail fraud and is serving a life sentence.

Julian Rudolph appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America” this week and said, after sitting through the trial, he believes his father is guilty. His attorney this month filed a memorandum opposing the government’s position regarding the forfeiture.

“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,” Julian Rudolph said on “Good Morning America.”

Bianca Rudolph met Larry Rudolph while they were students at the University of Pittsburgh. Larry Rudolph founded and once operated Hempfield-based Three Rivers Dental Group, which has offices in Greensburg, Cranberry, Green Tree, Jennerstown and Washington.

Rudolph maintains that his late wife of 34 years accidentally killed herself while on a 2016 hunting trip in Zambia, but prosecutors countered that evidence showed that was impossible because the wound to her heart came from a shot fired from 2 to 3.5 feet away.

“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,” Julian Rudolph said.

Prosecutors argued Larry Rudolph killed Bianca after receiving an ultimatum from Lori Milliron, a former hygienist and manager of his office, that he divorce his wife. Milliron was sentenced in June to 17 years on charges of perjury, being an accessory to a murder after the fact and obstructing a grand jury.

“I think that my mother brought out the best in him, and Lori Milliron brought out the worst,” Julian Rudolph said.

Throughout their marriage, they went on frequent hunting trips to Africa, and Bianca Rudolph became a well-­respected international hunter. She was the former president of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Safari Club International. The couple moved to Arizona from Pennsylvania about 2012, although Lawrence Rudolph’s dental practice remained here and he traveled back and forth regularly.

The case has drawn national attention with network news programs profiling it.
