New Evidence Links Elderly Women To Man's Death
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
Los Angeles police say they have new evidence linking two elderly women to the death of a homeless man they had taken out an insurance policy on.
Authorities say they found blood and organic matter on a Mercury Sable connected to Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt.
They're the two women in their 70s being investigated in connection with the June 2005 death of Kenneth McDavid and another homeless man in 1999.
The car was towed from an intersection near the Westwood alley where McDavid was killed in an unsolved hit-and-run.
DNA tests are being performed on the blood found on the Sable, but detectives have not received the results.
Authorities claim Golay and Rutterschmidt befriended McDavid and Vados and convinced the men to sign them on to their life insurance policies. Then they collected millions after they were killed.
