ABC NEWS STUDIOS TRUE CRIME DOCUSERIES:
Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit (Tuesday, July 15)
In 1995, rising TV news anchor Jodi Huisentruit disappeared from her Iowa apartment just before dawn, leaving behind signs of a violent abduction. Her case quickly became one of the nation’s most haunting unsolved mysteries. Now, 30 years later, Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit follows a major break that reenergized the case.
Sparked by a 2022 20/20 episode, a tip from one of Jodi’s close friends led Mason City Police to reveal a secret clue they had kept hidden for decades. In this fast-paced, true crime series, cameras exclusively embed with the case’s law enforcement team as they doggedly follow new leads, conduct intense interviews, and embark on searches that lead them to two new persons of interest—all while growing closer than ever to answering the question: What happened to Jodi?
This three-part docuseries features over twenty new interviews, including with Jodi’s family, friends, and her former colleagues; an unprecedented archive of Jodi’s life and career, including rare access to KIMT-TV, where Jodi’s abandoned desk remains untouched; and exclusive, real-time access to the investigation and breaks in the case—including never-before-seen material and new, groundbreaking information. An exploration of the power of persistence, public memory, and journalism, Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit breathes new life into one of the country’s most haunting unsolved mysteries.
Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari (Monday, July 21)
In Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari, a mysterious death on an African hunting trip sets off a years-long international investigation into the life of Larry Rudolph—a flashy Pittsburgh-area dentist with a taste for big game and bigger secrets, including a long-running affair with his dental hygienist, Lori Milliron. After Larry is forced to choose between his wife of 34 years, Bianca, and his mistress, one of them is found dead in Larry’s safari cabin in Zambia.
The local authorities rule it an accident, but back in the U.S., suspicions mount. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover decades of salacious patterns in Larry’s personal and professional dealings, including affairs, fraud, and more. But the question remains: could this apparent egomaniac commit murder? And if so, does the FBI have the evidence to prove it?
The adrenaline-pumping, three-part series features exclusive interviews with Larry Rudolph and Lori Milliron from federal prison, offering rare insight into their relationship. Plus, new interviews with an eclectic cast of characters, including Larry’s former business partner, Milliron’s daughter, the Rudolphs’ insurance broker, FBI agents close to the case, the former U.S. ambassador to Zambia, and more. Members of Safari Club International and several of Larry’s former dental office employees also speak out, painting a disturbing picture of the man at the center of this shocking case.
Mr. & Mrs. Murder (Wednesday, July 30)
Mr. & Mrs. Murder follows the twisted story of two close-knit couples in Tallahassee, Florida—Kathy and Brian Winchester and their childhood friends Mike and Denise Williams. Devout Baptists who shared a love for the outdoors, the couples did everything together, even planning their children’s births months apart. But on December 16, 2000, their world turned upside down when Mike vanished during a duck hunting trip on Lake Seminole. With no body found, many believed he had drowned or was eaten by alligators.
Years later, suspicions grew after Brian and Kathy divorced and Brian married Denise. What first appeared to be a tragic accident soon pointed to something far more sinister. Over the next 13 years, Kathy relentlessly pursued the truth—uncovering a dark web of lies, betrayal, and murder behind her friend’s disappearance.
The four-part docuseries features an exclusive interview with Kathy, who, for the first time, recounts the extraordinary steps she took to uncover the truth about Mike’s disappearance, including going undercover in a tense sting operation to secretly record her ex-husband, Brian. The series also includes interviews with friends and family of the Winchesters and Williames, such as Brian’s younger sister and Denise’s best friend.
In addition, viewers will hear from key law enforcement officials and special agents involved in the case, including the former Florida Wildlife Commission officer who led the original search for Mike and was on hand when, months later, remarkable evidence mysteriously turned up in Lake Seminole.
