Pennsylvania dentist Lawrence ‘Larry’ Rudolph was desperate to get his hands on his wife’s $4.8-million life insurance policy.

Rudolph, 67, planned to use the dough from his wife’s demise to ride into the sunset with his mistress.

Now, the wealthy dentist fears he is going to get the death penalty and told his lover on a prison phone: “I’m a dead man.”

Rudolph was convicted last August of shooting his wife, Bianca, in the heart with a shotgun while on a 2016 safari in Zambia.

He then fraudulently claimed $4.8 million in a life insurance windfall to start over with lover, Lori Milliron.

Now, Rudolph waits to hear whether he will have a date with the executioner. Either way, he told his gal pal he expects to die in prison. Milliron was also convicted of providing false and misleading testimony to a Pennsylvania grand jury.

She now lives in their dream mansion in Paradise Valley, Arizona. In the released phone call, she moaned about her situation.

She told Rudolph: “I didn’t expect at 65 years old that I was gonna have to have a new career.”

The dirty dentist responded: “You should look for a new boyfriend, while you can.”

Milliron responded: “Honey, I’m a convicted felon, that’s appealing …”

Rudolph then said: “Well, I just wanted to tell you I love you.”

Milliron replied: “Take care of yourself. Never, never give up. Please.”

But he told his mistress of 20 years: “It’s not about giving up, Lori. It’s just about facing reality. I’m a dead man. I’m gonna die in prison. And I don’t want to take you with me, or anybody else. It’s not fair.”

Rudolph and his wife had been married for 34 years until her murder, which prosecutors claimed was planned. He told the court they had an open relationship and that her death was an accident — and that’s what Zambian cops initially believed it to be.

The FBI didn’t see things the same way.

Agents later captured the Pittsburgh dentist yelling at Milliron during an argument at a steak house: “I killed my f***ing wife for you!”
