The Thing About Helen & Olga

Detectives leave Helen and Olga alone together in a room wired for sound. Old resentments boil over.

Helen and Olga are kindly old ladies who open their hearts and wallets to down-and-out men in Los Angeles. In a city named for angels, the two women seem heaven-sent. After one of the men is killed by a hit-and-run driver -- and then another suffers the same fate -- investigators uncover a horrifying and twisted plot that stuns even the most seasoned detectives. All six episodes of this chilling podcast from Keith Morrison and Dateline are available now.

As a bonus for you, we’re sharing a special preview of Dateline: Missing in America, an all-new original podcast series from Dateline.

In this episode, Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz tells the story of Keeshae Jacobs, a 21-year-old from Richmond, Virginia, who told her mother she was spending the night at a friend’s house in September of 2016. She never returned home.

Subsequent episodes will also each focus on one person’s story, as told by those left behind. Listen carefully to the details, descriptions and clues offered by family, friends and investigators. Something you hear might jog a memory that could help authorities crack a case.
