ABC News Studios Lines Up New True-Crime Series for Hulu

Three new true-crime docuseries from ABC News Studios are set to stream exclusively on Hulu in July.

This includes Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit, slated to bow on July 15. It tells the story of rising TV news anchor Jodi Huisentruit, who disappeared from her Iowa apartment in 1995, leaving behind signs of a violent abduction. A major break has re-energized the case 30 years later.

Sparked by a 2022 20/20 episode, a tip from one of Huisentruit’s close friends led Mason City Police to reveal a secret clue they had kept hidden for decades. The new three-part docuseries features over 20 new interviews with people such as Huisentruit’s family, friends and former colleagues; access to KIMT-TV, where Huisentruit’s abandoned desk remains untouched; and exclusive, real-time access to the investigation with never-before-seen material and new information.

Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit comes from Committee Films and ABC News Studios.

Coming July 21, Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari centers on a mysterious death that takes place on an African hunting trip. The death set off a years-long international investigation into the life of Larry Rudolph, a flashy Pittsburgh-area dentist who enjoyed hunting big game and had plenty of secrets, including a long affair with his dental hygienist. When Rudolph was forced to choose between his wife of 34 years and his mistress, one of them is found dead in his safari cabin in Zambia. The local authorities ruled it an accident, but in the U.S., suspicion grew.

The three-parter features exclusive interviews with Rudolph and his mistress, Lori Milliron, from federal prison. It also includes new interviews with Rudolph’s former business partner, Milliron’s daughter, the Rudolphs’ insurance broker, FBI agents close to the case, the former U.S. ambassador to Zambia and more. Members of Safari Club International and several of Rudolph’s former dental office employees also take part.

Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari is produced by XTR in association with Rolling Stone Films and ABC News Studios.

The third new title is the four-part Mr. & Mrs. Murder, from Plum Pictures and ABC News Studios. It follows the story of two close-knit couples in Tallahassee, Florida—Kathy and Brian Winchester and their childhood friends Mike and Denise Williams. They were devout Baptists who shared a love for the outdoors and did everything together, including planning their children’s births months apart. On December 16, 2000, Mike vanished during a duck hunting trip. With no body found, many believed he had drowned or was eaten by alligators. Years later, suspicions grew after Brian and Kathy divorced, and Brian married Denise.

Over the next 13 years, Kathy pursued the truth and uncovered a web of lies and betrayal. The series features an exclusive interview with Kathy, who, for the first time, recounts the steps she took to uncover the truth about Mike’s disappearance, including going undercover in a tense sting operation to secretly record her ex-husband Brian. The series also includes interviews with friends and family of the Winchesters and Williamses, such as Brian’s younger sister and Denise’s best friend. Law enforcement officials and special agents involved in the case, including the former Florida Wildlife Commission officer who led Theo regional search for Mike and was on hand when evidence mysteriously turned up in Lake Seminole months later, also participate.

Mr. & Mrs. Murder is slated to drop on Hulu on July 30.
