Clear and Convincing - Ep 24 - California v. Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt

In November, 1999, the body of Paul Vados was found in an alley in Los Angeles.  Vados was unidentified until he was reported missing by Olga Rutterschmidt, who claimed to be his cousin.  Vados appeared to be the victim of a hit-and-run, but investigation of the case failed to develop evidence that would lead to a suspect and the case went cold.  In June, 2005, the body of Kenneth McDavid was found in a Los Angeles alley, again appearing to have been the victim of a hit-and-run.  An inquiry with LAPD by an insurance company investigator led to a conversation between two detectives who realized that Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt each had insurance policies on Vados and McDavid.  Join Michael and Lisa on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. Central for Clear and Convincing, Episode 24, State of California v. Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt.  We’ll talk about the investigation of the deaths of Paul Vados and Kenneth McDavid, the insurance policies taken out on the two men and the women’s insurance scams.  Finally, we’ll talk about the arrests, prosecution and convictions of the geriatric killers dubbed “Black Widows” by the media.
