Wendy DiRodio: “Deadly Envy” | MURDERISH...

CLOUD10
About this episode

At 61 years old, Wendy DiRodio’s life was just getting started. An accomplished author, therapist and

dance instructor, she was ready to excel in the only part of life where success had escaped her: love.

She’d begun dating a handsome younger man; there was even talk of marriage. She was closing escrow

on a home near the beach outside of Santa Barbara, California. Wendy loved people―and they loved her

back. So when Wendy was stabbed to death in 2009, the community was shocked and confused. Little

did they know the killer stood among them. The killer’s motive? Envy.
