BURIED IN THE YARD: Dorothea Puente - The Death House Lady
Today boys and girls we are going to be talking about Dorothea Montalvo-Puente who was a sweet little 71 year old lady with a pixie cut of white hair and a big gummy grin who ran a boarding house at 1462 F Street Sacramento California in the 1980s. Picture a sweet lady of just 5ft 2” in height with big thick brimmed glasses, her big gummy smile and a pretty floral dress and holding a nice pink umbrella and you’re not going to be far wrong when it comes to how she looked.
Although it was a run-down part of Sacramento at the time the house on F Street was filled with Spanish music, love and laughter and Dorothea would take in residents who nobody wanted. She worked with the social security and placed the alcoholics, drug addicts, the destitute and the mentally troubled and she would take care of them in her own special way.
Now has anyone heard of the address 1462 F Street before because it is quite famous. No?
Well, you might know it from wonderful tv programmes such as the home improvement programmes Murder House Flip OR the House is Innocent - Dorothea Puente Murder House Remodelling.
That is right boys and girls, Dorothea Puente, our sweet little old lady was a convicted serial killer who ran a boarding house in Sacramento CA in the 1980s. Dorothea would take in the waifs and strays of society, look after them and then poison them before burying them in her yard all the while carrying on cashing their social security cheques.
Dorothea herself was dubbed the death house lady and killed at least 9 victims and maybe as many as 15 and she buried 7 of them in her own back yard.
