“The Murder of Spider Sabich by Claudine Longet”

In the glamorous but turbulent world of 1970s Aspen, ski champion Vladimir "Spider" Sabich was a star athlete with movie-star looks and a lifestyle to match. A member of the U.S. Ski Team and 1968 Olympian, he became a professional skiing sensation and a fixture of Aspen's social scene. In 1972, he began dating French singer and actress Claudine Longet, the ex-wife of crooner Andy Williams

Their relationship was passionate but volatile, marked by frequent arguments and jealousy. On March 21, 1976, Sabich was fatally shot in the bathroom of his home by Longet, who claimed the shooting was accidental and occurred while he was showing her how to use a .22-caliber pistol. Sabich, just 31 years old, died en route to the hospital.
What happened during his trial is the stuff of legend!
