The Black Widow: The Six Wives by Thomas Randolph | Trailer | ID
ID's new documentary, The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas Randolph, looks back at the infamous case. The three-part series airs on the network on Monday, July 15, 2024. According to IMDb, the synopsis reads: "Thomas Randolph was married six times and four of his wives are dead. Several of them died under mysterious circumstances, leading some to dub the Nevada man a 'Black Widower.'"
Thomas Randolph had six wives: Kathryn Thomas, Becky Gault, Gayna Allmon, Francis Randolph, Leona Stapleton, and Sharon Causse. However, four of his wives died under suspicious circumstances, and the murder of his sixth wife, Causse, ultimately resulted in a conviction in 2023.
Randolph had initially claimed that an intruder had fatally shot Causse during a 2008 home invasion. He also claimed that he had then shot the killer, a handyman named Michael Miller. An investigation revealed that Randolph had hired Miller to commit the crime so he could collect on insurance claims. He had also been charged with the murder of his second wife in 1986, but a trial ended in his acquittal three years later.
