Summary

Olga Ruttschmidt and Helen Golay are two female serial killers who operated in California. At the time of their arrest in 2008, Helen Golay was 75, and Olga Rutterschmidt was 73. The two women preyed upon vulnerable homeless men. At first, they offered them help in the form of a place to stay and food. But, their only goal was to get these men to sign life insurance policies with them as the beneficiaries so that they could collect millions.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Olga Ruttschmidt and Helen Golay. Olga and Helen are a rarity in the world of true crime, two elderly female serial killers working together. They viewed their targets as investments, often paying their way for years before killing their victims. During that time, they worked to gain their trust so that they would sign a life insurance policy. Then, the two would use their signature to take out many more.
