It was the murder that scandalized New York.
Beautiful, wealthy financier Shele Danishefsky Covlin was found dead in her bloody bathtub by her horrified young daughter in what seemed to be a tragic accident.She’d been killed by her estranged husband, Roderick “Rod” Covlin, who brutally strangled her and then made it look like an accident.Prosecutors said he was a deadbeat leech of a spouse who did it as revenge for her divorcing him over his constant womanizing and then threatening to cut him out of her $5.2 million will.
Piers Morgan sat down for an interview with convicted murderer Rod Covlin. Picture: Sky News Australia I’d brought two sheets of paper to the interview, one with all the arguments for his guilt, the other with all the arguments for his innocence. Did it give Rod Covlin the access and opportunity to kill her for her money, while making it look like an accident, and then portray himself as some kind of hero who tried to save her life?But that was not the initial assessment.
But her family weren’t as convinced it was an accident and grew so suspicious over subsequent months that they requested Shele’s body be exhumed for an autopsy. Covlin just looked desperate for me to believe him, his pleading eyes boring into mine throughout our hour-long encounter.
