Killer Stories with Harvey Guillén
Golden Years Killers Pt. 2

His bike was positioned off to the side of his body, and one of the wheels was completely off. It almost appeared like he'd stopped to change a flat tire before he was hit by a car. While Helen was getting towed home, paramedics raced to the scene, but it was too late. Kenneth was dead.

Fortunately, he had his ID on him, so by the following day, investigators traced his last known address to his old Hollywood apartment, the one Helen paid for. The cops got a hold of Helen's name and notified her of Kenneth's death. They hoped she'd be able to help them answer some questions. And she did. She pretended to be Kenneth's cousin and soul next of kin.

She identified his body at the morgue. The 74-year-old didn't seem like a killer, so it wasn't questioned when she paid to cremate him. Around the same time, the LAPD discovered that a security camera had recorded part of the alley on the night of Kenneth's death. The footage showed a silver vehicle passing through the alley, but it was too blurry.

They couldn't make out a license plate, let alone the specific model of the car. With no other real leads, the case fell to the wayside in the overworked traffic division. And that would have been that if it wasn't for one pesky insurance investigator. 59-year-old Ed Webster worked for Mutual of New York Life Insurance. He traveled the country and looked into questionable insurance claims.

And this one fit the bill. Red flag number one. Helen told the police she was Kenneth's cousin, but on Kenneth's insurance application, she wasn't listed as a relative. Red flag number two, Helen and Olga were both listed as beneficiaries, but neither would take the time to talk to Ed.

Usually, if there were questions about a claim that was legitimate, the beneficiaries were more than happy to clear the air. Red flag number three, the crime scene itself. The bike positioning didn't make any sense. Maybe at first glance, it looked like Kenneth was changing a flat tire, but it was fully inflated, good as new.

Not to mention Kenneth's injuries, which were consistent with being run over by a car, yes, but not a hit and run. If a vehicle had come at him fast and accidentally hit him, there should have been lower body injuries. Instead, he had marks all over his chest. That meant he'd likely been on the ground when he was driven over.

And a toxicology report showed alcohol and a notable amount of prescription sedatives in his system. He may not have even been conscious when he died. After a few months of sleuthing, Ed went to the LAPD and presented his case. He believed that Helen and Olga were not only trying to commit insurance fraud, he was certain that the duo had killed Kenneth McDavid.

At first, the authorities had a hard time buying it. A couple of grandmas were cold-blooded murderers. Yeah, right. But then one of the officers piped up. The case sounded strangely similar to one he'd worked on six years back. He checked the old file, and sure enough, it was all right there.

Helen and Olga had reported Paul Vados missing before claiming his body and receiving his insurance payouts. What's more, he too had been killed in an unsolved hit-and-run incident. The rest of the officers couldn't believe it. They were dealing with repeat offenders. In response to the new information, the LAPD combined Paul Vados' case with Kenneth McDavid's.
