With Ron's $11 million dollar fortune to draw from, Margaret was thrilled to be able to pursue her passion for buying and selling antique furniture. By 1994, however, Ron's penchant for women and alcohol had put some serious cracks in the Rudin's once rock-solid marriage. Things only got worse when 64-year-old Ron mysteriously disappeared on December 18, 1994. A month later, Ron's burnt body was discovered by three fishermen near Lake Mojave, Nevada. Found with him were pieces of an antique trunk that authorities were able to trace back to Margaret. Police built their case against Ron's widow and, by April of 1997, authorities finally had enough evidence for a murder indictment against 52-year-old Margaret. But by that time, she had gone on the lam. In 1999, Margaret was discovered living in Revere, Massachusetts with retired firefighter Joseph Lundergan. She'd been telling people her husband was killed by a terrorist. On May 2, 2001, seven years after Ron was killed, Margaret was found guilty of murder. She received a sentence of 20 years in prison.
