Golden Years Killers Pt. 1

This meant that after two years from the signing date, the insurance companies would have a much more difficult time denying the claims. In such cases, even if the companies realize they've been deceived, they still might have to pay up. One of the only surefire ways to null such a policy is to prove criminal intent. So the women's plan was simple.

They'd take out life insurance in Paul's name and then wait. In the interim, they'd watch over him and keep him happy. All the while, they'd mark days off the calendar. And when those two years expired, they'd kill him. Two years. That's all Paul Vados had left to live once he met Helen Goulet and Olga Ruderschmidt. The women spent that time cooking for Paul, taking care and cleaning up after him.

Perhaps the two friends knew that and figured they could easily make it look like an accident. So on November 7th, 1999, 68-year-old Helen and 66-year-old Olga picked Paul up from his apartment. They took him to the theaters, where they bought tickets for The Bone Collector, a film about the hunt for a sadistic serial killer. It was an eerie hint of what was to come next.

Of course, Paul had no idea. While we don't know exactly what happened next, we can make an educated guess based on the evidence. After the movie, the trio went to a dinner. There, it's believed the women spiked Paul's food when he wasn't looking. Then, Helen and Olga waited for the drugs to take effect.

When he was clearly inebriated, the women guided the 73-year-old back to the car and drove toward Hollywood. When they were about a mile away from Olga's place they pulled into an empty alley and put the car in park. They dragged Paul out of the back seat and into the street laying him flat on his back. Then they got back into the car and drove over him.

Afterward they didn't even stop to check if he was dead. They just kept driving down the alley and never looked back. They'd done what they'd set out to do. The next morning, LAPD officers found Paul's body. But without any ID on him, they labeled him a John Doe and sent him off to the lab. Two days later, his toxicology report came back clean.

But it's important to note it didn't test for prescription drugs. Meanwhile, Helen and Olga knew they couldn't jump the gun. If they reported Paul missing right away, it might look too suspicious. So they waited over a week until they went to the police. When they finally did, they fed the cops the story that Helen was Paul's one-time fiance and Olga was his cousin.

The two of them were just oh so worried about him. The police took down the report. When they connected the dots to their John Doe, they reached out to Olga and informed her of her cousin's death. She collected his body and Helen, his pseudo-fiancé, paid for his burial.

But while the police had hit pause on the investigation, the insurance companies weren't so quick to close the book. Given that Paul had died in a hit-and-run with no witnesses, they needed to double-check that everything was above board.
