S14 Ep5: The Killer Landlady
from Blood Ties Podcast
Dorothea Puente looked like the perfect landlady. Warm. Trustworthy. Harmless. But behind the doors of her Sacramento boarding house lurked something far darker. Throughout the 1980s, she preyed on the elderly and mentally disabled, offering shelter before poisoning them, burying their bodies in her garden, and cashing their Social Security checks. For years, she got away with it. Until one disappearance exposed a chilling truth: this was not a home, it was a graveyard. Even more disturbing, she was only convicted of three murders, leaving the full scale of her crimes unresolved. This episode uncovers a story of manipulation, greed, and cold blooded calculation.
