Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime

Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime

Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime dives deep into cases involving a more rare type of criminal, women who commit financial crimes. Scamming and financial crimes are usually a man’s game, but women dabble in it too. In Season Three of Dirty Money Moves, host, Jami Rice of MURDERISH, the podcast, takes listeners along as she investigates Tracii Hutsona, a self-described “winner” who appeared to have it all: successful businesses, multimillion dollar mansions, luxury cars, and the cash to spend on high-end jewelry and vacations. She claimed to have had a lengthy acting and modeling career, one that saw her on the cover of several major magazines, including Italian Vogue. She even claimed to have romantic ties to Keanu Reeves. But not much about Tracii seems to be real, except maybe her abilities as a con artist. Most recently, she made headlines for embezzling more than $1 million from Joumana Kidd, actress and ex wife of NBA star Jason Kidd, via Tracii’s luxury concierge business. Then, Tracii opened a restaurant in San Diego, fittingly called “Breakfast Bitch,” which was funded, in part, by Joumana’s money. These recent crimes may have garnered all the media attention, but they are by no means Tracii’s first run-ins with the law. She’s had a long history of schemes, going back 30 years. Yet, the most shocking thing about Tracii isn't the dollar amount she’s managed to steal over the years, but the way in which she victimizes the people closest to her, over and over again. This is the story of an extremely charismatic woman who can manipulate even the most savvy person into believing exactly what she needs them to, all in the pursuit of a lifestyle of luxury, glamour, and self-indulgence.

    Melissa Caddick: “Something is aFOOT” | S6 E1

    On February 21, 2021, a grizzly discovery was made on Bournda Beach on the southern coast of New South Wales, Australia. A designer athletic shoe washed up on the beach. Inside of it, was a decomposing foot. After taking DNA samples from family members of missing persons in the area, the shoe and samples matched with a woman named Melissa Caddick, a 49-year-year old who’d been missing for three months following the raid of her home by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Initially, Caddick was being investigated for her part as the ringleader of an insider trading investigation, but authorities soon discovered her white collar schemes went much deeper. It appeared that Melissa had died by suicide, perhaps distraught over facing years in prison. Then, questions began to arise and suspicion fell on Melissa’s husband, Anthony Koletti. Why’d he wait almost two days to report his wife missing?  Follow host, Jami Rice, on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube @JamiOnAir to keep up with true crime cases she’s deep-diving into and providing commentary on.

    Helen Golay & Olga Rutterschmidt: “The Black Widow Trial” | S5 E5

    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.

    Helen Golay & Olga Rutterschmidt: “Black Widows” | S5 E4

    Following their 2006 arrest for mail and wire fraud, the LAPD and the FBI continued trying to build a murder case against Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt. They’d found some evidence during raids on the women’s homes, but everything collected up until that point still wasn’t enough to build a murder case. The FBI continued trying to find anything to tie Helen and Olga to Paul Vados’s and Kenneth McDavid’s death. Soon, investigators pieced things together and found themselves in a position to charge the women with murder. It all came down to rubber stamps, a Post-it note, and evidence found on the undercarriage of the Mercury Sable seen in the surveillance footage on the day Kenneth McDavid was killed. The Black Widows were headed for trial, and spectators were in for a wild ride.

    Helen Golay & Olga Rutterschmidt: “New Targets” | S5 E2

    In 2002, Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt were riding high following their first successful life insurance scam. Before the women set their sights on their next victim, Kenneth McDavid, there was another scheme brewing. This one, developing across the country, and involving an elderly man named Fred Downie. At 96-years-old, this widowed New Englander owned a house on Cape Cod, and somehow befriended a young woman named Kecia Golay, Helen Golay’s youngest daughter.  Kecia soon convinced Fred to move to Southern California, where her mother owned several properties. Fred Downie agreed and would indeed find his place in the sun, though only for a short time. He’d write his niece Mildred letters about the glory of west coast living. As the months rolled by, however, the letters got more despondent. And then, the letters stopped. Soon, Mildred would learn that Fred was dead.  Unfortunately for Helen and Olga, their claim on an insurance policy for Kenneth McDavid landed on the desk of Ed Webster, a detail-oriented insurance investigator who previously worked as a private eye. And Ed had questions. Soon, the LAPD got involved. Through Kenneth McDavid’s case, they learned about Fred Downie’s case which only raised more questions. Why was 97-year-old Fred Downie in the middle of the road, unattended, when he was struck by a car? And why was he carrying funeral instructions on him when he died?  Sponsors: Hers: forhers.com/dirtymoney for your personalized weight loss options Armoire: armoire.style/dirtymoney to get up to 50% off your first month Follow host, Jami Rice, on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube @JamiOnAir to keep up with this story and other true crime cases she’s deep-diving into and providing commentary on.

    Helen Golay & Olga Rutterschmidt: “Friends Who Fraud Together” | S5 E1

    On June 21, 2005, a 50-year-old unhoused man named Kenneth McDavid was left for dead in a back alley just off of Westwood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Police believed that he’d been the victim of a hit-and-run. After a distant female cousin came forth claiming to be Kenneth’s only living relative, the case was closed and the cause of death was listed as “unknown.” When a New York insurance claims department employee took note of Kenneth’s case, he became aware of two fairly substantial life insurance policies that had been taken out on the man. The beneficiaries of Kenneth’s life insurance policies were two 70-something women named Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmid, a duo who were known around town as fairly regular volunteers at the Hollywood Presbyterian Church. As law enforcement continued investigating Kenneth’s case they learned his death was just the tip of the iceberg. Eventually,  a much deeper and shocking mystery would be unravaled. And the two sweet, 70-something seniors who’d been helping vulnerable people at the church …they were just devils in disguise.

    Samantha Azzopardi: “The Last Scam, for Now” | S4 E5

    A few months after Samantha Azzopardi was sentenced to three years of Community Corrections Order following her latest fake identity scam, where she claimed to be a pregnant 15-year-old victim of sexual abuse, she answered an advertisement placed by a lawyer in Sydney named Theresa Power. Theresa needed a nanny for her young daughter and “Maya Malicka” answered the call. Maya claimed to be 19, Polish, and have tons of experience with kids. Theresa became convinced Maya was legitimate, and hired her as a nanny. The gig with Theresa Power wouldn’t last long, but Samantha had one more alias she wanted to attempt before settling in again as a nanny for a family.
