The Widower: 'Til Death Do Us Part is a Netflix documentary that explores the decades-long investigation into Thomas Randolph, a Nevada man notorious as the "Black Widower" for marrying six times, with several of his wives meeting mysterious ends. The documentary focuses on Randolph's conviction for the murder of his sixth wife, Sharon Causse, who was shot dead in their Las Vegas home in 2008.
The film delves into the work of Las Vegas police detective Dean O'Kelley and Dateline journalist Dan Slepian, who sought to uncover the truth behind Randolph's crimes. O'Kelley initially questioned Randolph's account that Causse was killed by their handyman, Michael Miller, during a home invasion, and that he acted in self-defense.
Slepian, who had previously investigated wrongful convictions, began his own inquiry after receiving a tip that the case was more complex than it seemed. As O'Kelley assembled evidence against Randolph, Slepian followed the investigation, which eventually revealed details about Randolph's five previous marriages. Sharon Causse was the fourth of Randolph's six wives to die, making her the most recent victim in a pattern of tragic endings among his marital partners.
