On the morning of December 2009, 9-year-old Anna went into the bathroom and discovered her mother Shele Danishefsky Covlin, 47, lying motionless in a pool of blood.
The couple first met at a bachelor party in February 1998.
Thanks to his wife’s salary and family’s wealth, Roderick has a very prosperous life in a house in Manhattan only for the rich.
On their 10th wedding anniversary, Roderick suggested he wanted to have an open marriage with his wife.
Roderick’s life after that was not smooth sailing.
Because they believed that Ms. Shele’s death was due to an accident, the police at that time did not follow the correct investigation steps.
In September 2011, Roderick moved back to his parents’ house.
In the fall of 2012, Roderick invited one of his mistresses to participate in the plan to kill his parents, but this person did not agree.
While Roderick is still busy thinking about how to `whitewash` the crime and gain ownership of his wife’s property, behind him, prosecutors and detectives are working hard.
In November 2015, Roderick was officially arrested.
The victim’s family is happy because the perpetrator has finally paid the price for his barbaric murder.
