Wendy DiRodio: “Deadly Envy” | MURDERISH Ep. 112

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. Check us out: Visit Murderish.com for more info about the show and Creator/Host, Jami. The website also has links to buy MURDERISH merchandise and become a Patreon supporter.
