Ronald Rudin was a 64-year-old White real estate developer in Las Vegas whose disappearance in the winter of 1994 ended with a violent discovery. Reported missing on December 18, 1994, his charred and dismembered remains were found in a trunk near Lake Mohave in January 1995. An autopsy showed he had been shot multiple times in the head.

Suspicion centered on his wife, Margaret Rudin. Prosecutors alleged financial motive tied to a potential divorce and presented circumstantial evidence including a handyman’s testimony about being hired to clean a bedroom that showed signs of a bloody struggle, and the recovery by divers of a .22 caliber handgun with a silencer that had belonged to Ronald and reportedly gone missing years earlier. Margaret Rudin was indicted in 1997, apprehended in 1999 after more than two years as a fugitive, and convicted of first-degree murder at a 2001 trial; prosecutors said she had an accomplice but no one else was charged.

No arrest beyond Margaret Rudin has been reported; who else might have been involved in Ronald Rudin’s killing?
