The Widower: ‘Til Death Do Us Part on Netflix readjusts the true-crime spotlight to one of the most notorious cases viewers have probably heard of in a while, involving the elusive, charming Thomas Randolph, who married six times, three of whom died under mysterious circumstances.

The Netflix documentary follows senior investigative producer Dan Slepian, who covered the case in his five-hour 2021 docuseries Dateline: The Widower, as he details the criminal proceedings that ran for nearly two decades.

The Widower primarily chronicles Randolph’s checkered history of manipulation, control, marriages, and insurance payouts, while offering a de facto making-of Slepian’s docuseries, with updates on recent developments. It details how Slepian gained Randolph’s trust, interviewing him several times over a decade.

After his sixth wife, Sharon Causse, was found murdered in her home in 2008, Las Vegas detectives tipped Slepian, and Dean O’Kelley invited him to accompany him during the investigation. When they dug into the life insurance policies he took out on Causse and discovered Randolph had her rewrite her will, the investigative duo finally saw a pattern. But did Randolph ultimately go to jail?

Does Thomas Randolph go to jail in The Widower: ‘Til Death Do Us Part?

While Thomas Randolph’s history of marriages has foul play written all over it, The Widower: ‘Til Death Do Us Part finally culminates in his imprisonment. Dan Slepian and Dean O’Kelley go above and beyond to gather testimonies from the Black Widower’s surviving wives, his former friends, and Michael Miller’s family members, the handyman Thomas claimed to have shot in self-defence after he allegedly killed Sharon Causse.

Many of his former friends alleged that Randolph offered half of his wives’ insurance payouts in exchange for killing his current wife. In fact, Slepian’s camera didn’t stop rolling when he was arrested at his mother’s home months after the double homicide at his house. He was tased for obstructing police and not complying with their demands.

In the seven years after his arrest, Randolph tried everything possible to delay the proceedings and trial, repeatedly hiring and firing lawyers right ahead. But Slepian never stopped visiting Randolph in prison and continued those interviews. However, after he was found guilty in 2017 and sentenced to the death penalty, Slepian conducted one last interview, hoping to get a confession, which didn’t happen.

While that may have felt like the end of Randolph’s nightmare, the conviction was overturned in 2020 by the Nevada Supreme Court, citing that the information on his past death-penalty trial rendered the jury biased. That said, he was convicted on the same counts for a second time, despite leaving the Utah incident out of the courtroom. Although he tried to appeal a third time, the Nevada Supreme Court rejected it in September 2026.
