The Widower: Til Death Do Us Part on Netflix true story:

Netflix’s The Widower: Til Death Do Us Part documentary tells the true story of Thomas Randolph, sometimes known as “the black widower,” who was convicted in 2024 for the 2008 murder of his wife, Sharon Causse, in their home in Las Vegas.

Randolph attempted to frame neighbor and handyman Mike Miller for the murder. Randolph hired Miller to murder Causse, so that Randolph could collect on the life insurance. Though he claimed he would split the money with Miller, on the night of May 8, 2008, Randolph betrayed Miller and shot him. Randolph called the police and claimed his wife had been shot by a burglar, Miller, and that that Randolph had killed Miller in self-defense. Miller’s family claimed he’d told them about Randolph, and said Randolph had asked Miller to kill his wife.

The long, drawn-out investigation and court case was covered by Dateline NBC producer Dan Slepian, who teamed up with Las Vegas Metro Police Detective Dean O’Kelley. In their deep dive, Slepian and O’Kelley discovered that Randolph had been married six times. Of those six wives, four are now dead. And Randolph had even been on trial, facing the death penalty, for the murder of one of those wives: Becky Gault.

Randolph’s second wife, Becky Gault, died in 1986. As with Causse, Randolph took out a life insurance policy on Gault before her death. Randolph went on trial for the murder of Gault, and was facing the death penalty, but his lawyers convinced the jury that Gault died by suicide, and he was never convicted. He collected roughly $500,000 from Gault’s life insurance policy, according to a report by the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Randolph was once again facing the death penalty in 2017, the first time he went on trial for the murder of his sixth wife, Sharon Causse. This time, the jury declared Randolph guilty. But the case was declared a mistrial in 2020. The Nevada Supreme Court reversed the guilty conviction, stating that the jury should not have heard evidence about Randolph’s 1986 case, as Nevada state law does not allow evidence from previous “bad acts.”

Randolph was finally officially convicted of murder at a new trial in 2024, on two counts of first-degree murder (for Miller and Causse), one count of conspiracy to commit murder. He was sentenced to at least 60 years in prison.

Where is Thomas Randolph now?

Thomas Randolph, now 71, is currently serving his 60-years-to-life prison sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections website. The facility is located in Pershing County, Nevada and is for medium-custody general population offenders.

Earlier this month, according a local Las Vegas news report, the Nevada Supreme Court denied Randolph’s appeal, stating that the 15 years lead-up to his conviction did not merit a third trial for the murders of his wife and neighbor. Randolph argued that the delays and years leading up to his conviction were too long. The court upheld the murder convictions and Randolph’s sentence.

“After considering each of the relevant factors, we conclude that Randolph has not shown his right to a speedy trial was violated,” the court wrote. “Therefore, no relief is warranted on this ground.”

Randolph also argued he was coerced by police officers to do the filmed walk-through of the crime scene, which raised questions about holes in his story.

“The detectives testified that Randolph was not threatened with arrest or other consequences if he did not participate in the walkthrough,” the court wrote. “In fact, Randolph agreed on video that he was participating of his ‘own free will.’”

Why didn’t Thomas Randolph face the death penalty in his second trial?

The first two times Randolph was on trial for murdering his wife, he was facing the death penalty. But when he was finally convicted, he was sentenced to 60 years-to-life in prison, and was not executed by the state. Why?

Because in Randolph’s 2023 re-trial, the state of Nevada did not seek the death penalty. It’s not clear why the state made this decision. The death penalty is still legal in Nevada as of 2026, though there has not been an actual state execution since 2006.

Our best guess is that state declined to seek the death penalty due to the fact that if it had, there would be more legal loopholes available to Randolph, something he had used to his advantage over the last few decades. And, indeed, Randolph tried to use one of those loopholes in his appeal, arguing that he should have been allowed to use two attorneys in his closing arguments. However, because the state did not seek the death penalty, the district court was not required to allow both of Randolph’s attorneys to give closing arguments.
