Olga and Helen's bogus adventure

This is bound to become a movie. Mystery or comedy?

Two elderly women charged with fraud and suspected in deaths
LOS ANGELES — Dwight Emile says his neighbor Olga Rutterschmidt always had a thing for get-rich-quick schemes.
“She'd say, Dwight, do you want to make some extra money?'” said Emile, a music producer and songwriter who lives in Hollywood. “I'd say, No, if it's not legal.'”
“I always used to say to her that one day I'd see her on the 11 o'clock news,” Emile said.   
Olga Rutterschmidt, 73, and another woman, Helen Golay, 75, pleaded not guilty June 5 to federal charges of mail fraud and submitting false insurance applications.
According to the authorities, the two women extended helping hands to two homeless men, getting them off the streets and putting them up in apartments, while at the same time plotting their deaths.

Maybe they should check to see what happened to these gals husbands. So much for grandma sitting in a rocker. If I were you I'd be real careful eating granny's cookies.

Anyone know how/if I can get a copy of the indictments against these two "bum-killing geezers" as one news source called them?

(Hi KMc - maybe call the prosecutor's office, ask for public relations? Just a thought. I can't remember. Are the charges local or federal? Greg Reeves)
