When grannies conspire
April 18, 2008
OK, I don’t actually know if these women are grandmothers or not, but the age is right.
A Los Angeles jury has just convicted 77-year-old Helen Golay and 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt guilty of murder and conspiracy to murder.
For the most part I regard the elderly as sweet and slightly senile, but these women are straight up scary.
The two targeted a homeless shelter in Hollywood, made BFFs with middle-aged homeless men, then provided the men with apartments. Conveniently these men were family-free, so no one noticed when Golay and Rutterschmidt took out multiple life insurance policies on the clueless dudes.
After about two years of this charade, the victims were killed in a “hit and run accident.” But nothing about it was accidental.
Golay and Rutterschmidt almost got away with $2.8 mill. 2 men were killed.
