Episode 34: Try, Try Again: The Murder of Frank Rodriguez, Part 2

In part one we learned about Angelina Rodriguez, a greedy
opportunist with a heart of darkness. Angie’s first marriage
crumbled after the tragic “accidental” death of their baby daughter
Alicia, and after cashing in on the $50,000 life insurance policy
she’d taken out on the baby the DAY before she died—not to mention
the nearly $800,000 settlement from suing the company that made the
pacifier that caused Alicia’s death—Angie lived high on the hog for
a while. But that money ran out, much faster than anyone would have
expected, and Angie soon moved on to a new target—I mean,
husband—Frank Rodriguez, whom she snagged by carefully molding
herself into the image of the pious Christian family woman Frank
had always dreamed of. But when healthy, 41 year old Frank died of
unknown causes not long after he and Angie married, investigators
began to suspect that this “grieving widow” might not be grieving
after all. And when we left you at the end of part 1, detectives
were about to get an earful from Angie’s best friend Palmira. Join
us now for part 2.
