A Tangled Web Part 1: The Disappearance of Ron Rudin
from Sins & Survivors: A Las Vegas True Crime Podcast · host Mattollica Media
A 64-year-old wealthy real estate developer vanished a few days before Christmas in 1994, and all the clues pointed in just one direction. Ron Rudin had the true Golden West pioneer spirit. He came to Las Vegas in the late 1950s, and like many others, saw a valley full of potential. He was a self-made millionaire with a signature style and a love of Cadillacs, but it was no secret that he was gripped by paranoia, living behind high walls, barbed wire, and bulletproof glass. When Ron married Margaret Rudin in 1987, it was the 5th marriage for both of them. As their lives merged, their relationship proved to be complicated and at times, violent. When Ron vanished just days before Christmas in 1994, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance raised unsettling questions. Was this the result of his growing paranoia, or was there something far more sinister at play? What really happened on that December night?Part 1 of a 3 part series on the so-called Black Widow of Las Vegas. https://sinspod.co/64sourcesDomestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!
