The Widower: ‘Til Death Do Us Part (2026)

Director: Chris Smith

The Overview:  Beware of Spoilers…

Thomas Randolph called 911.  He said that his wife, Sharon Causse, was killed by a home invader.  Randolph said that he then shot and killed the intruder.  It turned out that Randolph knew the man.  His name was Michael Miler.  Further, it was proved that Randolph conspired with Miller to kill his wife and then Randolph killed Miller.

As a reporter looked into this case it was discovered that Sharon Causse was Randolph’s sixth wife.  Four of his wives had died of suspicious circumstances.  As Randolph’s case became known he was dubbed the “Black Widower“.

Get this –

  • In 1978, Randolph was convicted of first degree murder.  He was initially given a death sentence, which ultimately was changed to 25 years to life.  After serving approximately five years, Randolph was released on parole.
  • In 1983, Randolph married his second wife.  He claimed she committed suicide and he collected $500,000.00.  A witness came forward to accuse Randolph of killing his wife.  Randolph went to trial and was acquitted.  BUT, when it was discovered Randolph tried to hire a hitman to kill the witness, he pled guilty to third-degree witness tampering (instead of going to trial for conspiracy to commit murder). Randolph sentenced up to five years.  He was paroled after one and half.
  • Randolph’s third wife was married to him for just one year.  She died six years after the divorce from cancer.
  • Randolph’s fourth wife divorced him after a gun “discharged” near her. They were married for two years.
  • Randolph’s fifth wife died not long after a successful heart surgery. Her family suspected foul play and a wrongful death suit was filed.
  • Randolph’s sixth wife was the murder that brought to light Randolph’s past.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

If Randolph hadn’t been released early from prison for his first attempted murder charge, he couldn’t have killed all of these women.

Later, when he was charged for conspiracy to commit murder which could result in his second life sentence, he was allowed to plead down to up to five years behind bars… and served less than two.  That is a sad commentary on our justice system.

Many documentaries would have made Randolph’s story a mini-series.  I applaud the filmmaker(s) for just needing one and a half hours.
