Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime

Helen Golay & Olga Rutterschmidt: “Friends Who Fraud Together” | S5 E1


Listen Later

On June 21, 2005, a 50-year-old unhoused man named Kenneth McDavid was left for dead in a back alley just off of Westwood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Police believed that he’d been the victim of a hit-and-run. After a distant female cousin came forth claiming to be Kenneth’s only living relative, the case was closed and the cause of death was listed as “unknown.”


When a New York insurance claims department employee took note of Kenneth’s case, he became aware of two fairly substantial life insurance policies that had been taken out on the man. The beneficiaries of Kenneth’s life insurance policies were two 70-something women named Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmid, a duo who were known around town as fairly regular volunteers at the Hollywood Presbyterian Church. As law enforcement continued investigating Kenneth’s case they learned his death was just the tip of the iceberg. Eventually,  a much deeper and shocking mystery would be unravaled. And the two sweet, 70-something seniors who’d been helping vulnerable people at the church …they were just devils in disguise.
