Overview

They looked like everyone's grandmothers - kind smiles, floral dresses, polite laughter. But behind the gentle faces of Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt lay one of America's most chilling true-crime stories - a tale of greed, deception, and death hidden beneath the disguise of compassion. For over a decade, two elderly women roamed the streets of Los Angeles, offering food and shelter to the forgotten and the homeless. Their victims never knew that kindness came with a contract - a life insurance policy worth thousands of dollars, signed in secret, and sealed with murder. When the bodies began to surface and the payouts rolled in, no one suspected that the killers were sipping tea in quiet suburban kitchens, plotting their next ""investment."" Killer Grannies: The True Story of Greed, Murder, and a Deadly Insurance Scheme pulls back the curtain on America's most shocking senior scandal - an extraordinary real-life crime that exposes the dark side of human nature and the dangerous power of unchecked greed. With chilling forensic detail and emotional depth, this book explores how two ordinary women weaponized trust, exploited systemic failures, and turned empathy into a tool for killing. Perfect for fans of Mindhunter, Making a Murderer, and The Jinx, this gripping account reveals the horrifying truth that evil doesn't always wear a mask - sometimes, it wears a smile. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about innocence, age, and morality. Read now - and discover the disturbing true story behind the women who made murder look merciful.
