Quicksilver: The Ted Binion's Murder Case

by John L. Smith (Contributor), Jeff Scheid

It was Las Vegas' crime of the century. Lonnie "Ted" Binion, ne'er-do-well son of famed casino owner Benny Binion, was found dead in his home. Some claimed, drug overdose. Others speculated suicide. Investigators said murder.

Ted's beautiful girlfriend, Sandy Murphy, and her shadowy lover, Rick Tabish, were charged with Binion's murder and the show began.

Quicksilver is the story of the trial that rocked Las Vegas. A classic love triangle, a powerful casino family, and a fortune in silver provide the backdrop for this true story of deception, greed, and murder.
