The Widower: ’Til Death Do Us Part is a 2026 Netflix true-crime documentary directed by Chris Smith. Released on September 30, the 91-minute film examines the case surrounding Thomas Randolph, a man whose charm and complicated marital history became central to questions about a series of suspicious deaths.Show More
Rather than presenting a fictional mystery, the documentary follows real events and the work required to test competing accounts against evidence.
The story focuses especially on the 2008 deaths of Randolph’s sixth wife, Sharon Causse, and Michael Miller, a handyman who was present at the scene. Randolph said Miller had killed Causse during a home invasion and that he shot Miller in self-defence. Investigators scrutinized that explanation, and the case grew more complicated as they examined the timeline, the physical evidence, Randolph’s statements, and the history of his previous marriages.
Two figures help drive the documentary’s investigative thread: Las Vegas detective Dean O’Kelley and Dateline journalist Dan Slepian. O’Kelley’s police work centers on examining the scene and looking for inconsistencies that might explain what happened. Slepian approaches the story through reporting, interviews, and the effort to understand how separate details fit into a larger pattern. Their roles show how criminal investigations and journalism can overlap while serving different purposes.
The film also explores the human cost behind the case, particularly the life and death of Sharon Causse. Its title points to the unsettling contrast between the promise of marriage and the suspicion surrounding relationships in Randolph’s past. The documentary recounts the legal process without proving that every death associated with Randolph was a murder; its central focus is the case built around Causse and Miller.
This quiz uses the documentary’s four central figures as personality-style results. It is not a test of guilt, innocence, or factual knowledge. Instead, your choices reflect how you respond to uncertainty, conflict, pressure, trust, and the search for answers. Choose the option that feels most natural to you, then read the result as a playful comparison—not a judgment about the real people or the events.
