True Crime New England

On this week’s episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz talk about one of the most publicized cases in Rhode Island’s history. Socialite and multimillionaire, Sunny von Bülow, had been married to rich oilman, Claus von Bülow, for quite some time when their marriage began to sour. In December of 1980, Sunny was found unconscious on the floor of her Rhode Island mansion, where she was discovered to be extremely hypothermic. Sunny would then sustain permanent brain damage and remain in a coma for the next 28 years. The only question: what happened? Was this an accident at the hands of Sunny, or was she harmed intentionally?
