b'David Bowie once described aging as \\u201can extraordinary process by which you become the person you have always been.\\u201d We want to think of this as a nice sentiment, right? Like, aww, I\\u2019m gonna come into my full flower as the best possible version of myself. But what if the \\u201cperson you\\u2019ve always been\\u201d is a nightmare? What if the monster\\u2019s just been biding its time? Join us for two stories of killer old ladies: Olga Rutterschmidt and Helen Golay, a pair of serial killers who preyed on the most vulnerable members of society; and South Korea\'s Madame Yoon, a woman who let delusion and obsession take over her life, and the lives of everyone around her.
