Widower's Insurance Scheme: A Deadly Deception
30 Sep
Summary
- Husband accused of hiring a hitman to kill his wife for insurance money.
- Police found inconsistencies in the husband's account of the home invasion.
- A Dateline producer spent nearly two decades investigating the case.

In Las Vegas, the murder of Sharon Randolph on May 8, 2008, unraveled a complex web of alleged deceit. Sharon was fatally shot in her home, along with Michael Miller, who prosecutors claim was hired by her husband, Thomas Randolph. The motive, according to the prosecution, was to claim four life insurance policies.
Investigators, led by former Las Vegas Police Detective Dean O'Kelley, found evidence like a ski mask and jewelry near Miller's body. However, Randolph's account of a home invasion and his subsequent killing of an intruder did not align with the discovered evidence, raising significant doubts about his story.
