We had LAPD out in force, detectives, Metro Squad.

We had FBI, Postal.

We had Department of Insurance.

I mean, if you looked like an able-bodied person standing anywhere in the area, I think you almost got recruited at that point.

It was definitely not a friendly situation all the time.

And it was kind of interesting because together on Paul, they both owned four policies for just about $740,000.

And then Helen, without Olga's knowledge, bought three more policies valued at about $90,000.

Olga, I think, started cluing in and was getting pretty angry, and that's when she started getting her own policies separate from Helen.

Found a letter that Olga wrote that pretty much said that Helen was claiming to be, I think it was married to somebody and she wasn't.

She was trying to get policies and Olga thought something needed to be done about it.

I'm like, boy, I just, thanks, Olga.

If I remember right, there were obituaries and there were articles about, you know, how to off somebody without getting caught.

It was crazy stuff that just kind of goes to their state of mind.

It's like you don't expect people normally to be trying to figure out

well, how do I kill this guy and nobody catches me?

But those kinds of things were in there as well.

Yes, I do.

It was a post-it in Helen's writing, and it had Paul Vadas' name, his biographical information, where he was born.

His California ID number.

That was an interesting find, yeah.
