Fred Downie, the elderly man who’d moved to Southern California to live out the rest of his years under the care of Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt, had died under mysterious circumstances. Even so, his death was ruled an accident and there was nothing to stop a man from giving his fortune away. Although Fred’s case was off the table, in March 2008, the Black Widows were going on trial for the murders of Paul Vados and Kenneth McDavid. Prosecutors felt fairly confident in their case. After all, they’d linked Helen and Olga to the crimes in more than one way. Though, their case was largely built on circumstantial evidence. Confident or not, the state likely didn’t see the defense's strategy coming. Helen’s attorney was about to tell the jury who REALLY killed Kenneth McDavid, and it wasn’t going to be Helen or Olga. Let’s just say it was Helen-adjacent.   Sponsor: Hers: forhers.com/dirtymoney for your personalized weight loss options Follow host, Jami Rice, on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube @JamiOnAir to keep up with the true crime cases she’s following, and hear her commentary on lighter topics such as reality tv and skincare.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
