Who is Lori Milliron?
While visiting Zambia, Africa, with her husband, Lawrence "Larry" Rudolph, Bianca died on October 11, 2016, after sustaining a shotgun wound to the chest.
Weeks after, it was revealed that her husband was having an affair at the time of her death, causing authorities to question her passing.
The mistress was later identified as Lori Milliron, who previously worked as an executive administrator at his dental offices, according to People.
The affair had reportedly been going on since 2004, and within months of Bianca's death, Lori had moved in with Larry.

Outside of her relationship and occupation, little information is available on Lori's personal life as she has tended to stay out of the spotlight.
Was Larry Rudolph found guilty?
Police investigated Bianca's death for years, and it was not until 2021 that they arrested Larry in connection to it.
After being charged with Bianca's murder, Larry denied the accusations.
"I did not kill my wife, I could not murder my wife, I would not murder my wife," he said during his testimony, according to People.

While Larry continued to deny the claims, a Denver jury found him guilty of murder and mail fraud on August 1, 2022.
On August 21, 2023, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced that Larry had been sentenced to life in prison for murder.
Where is Lori Milliron now?
Lori was also arrested in February 2022 in connection to Bianca's death and tried with Larry after she was accused of being an accessory and lying to a federal grand jury.
Like Larry, she was also found guilty and convicted of being an accessory after the fact to the murder, obstruction of justice, and two counts of perjury before a grand jury.
"We are thankful for the jury’s diligence looking at all the evidence in this case," US Attorney Cole Finegan said in an August 2022 statement.

"Bianca Rudolph deserved justice. This case was an exceptional example of the entire US Attorney’s Office pulling together with our law enforcement partners to uncover the truth and seek justice for a victim who had no other voice.
"I also want to specifically thank the efforts of the FBI, which worked to obtain justice by literally going around the world to interview witnesses and collect evidence. Their efforts were exemplary, and we are grateful to them."
On Friday, June 23, 2023, Lori was sentenced to 17 years in prison for being an accessory to the crime.
"Lori, you have taken my parents," Ana Rudolph, Bianca's daughter, said directly to Lori. "Despite everything you have done you will never take my soul. This might be difficult to understand...because you don't have one."
