More guilty verdicts in LA murder-for-profit scheme
LOS ANGELES (AP) - April 21, 2008 Jurors convicted 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt on Monday of
first-degree murder in the 1999 death of 73-year-old Paul Vados.
She also was convicted of conspiracy to murder him for financial
gain.
She and co-defendant Helen Golay were convicted of other counts
last week.
Prosecutors said the two women collected $2.8 million before
their scheme was uncovered. Authorities said Vados and 50-year-old
Kenneth McDavid were run over in murders staged to look like
hit-and-run accidents.
