Each woman faces two counts of murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder for financial gain in the deaths of Paul Vados, 73, in 1999 and Kenneth McDavid, 51, in 2005.

Authorities allege the women befriended Vados and McDavid, persuaded them to sign them on to their life insurance policies and then collected about $2.3 million after running them over in secluded alleys.

It sounds completely stupid - I mean, insurance companies DO insist on an investigation.

What were they thinking?
