A grandmotherly landlady with a talent for tea, tidiness, and taxidermy-level tenant turnover, Dorothea Puente perfected the art of looking harmless while running one of Sacramento’s most sinister boarding houses. Behind her soft-spoken charm and lace-curtained windows lurked a serial killer who quietly drugged, robbed, and buried her elderly and disabled tenants in the garden—then kept cashing their benefit checks as if nothing had happened.

Her story blends the unsettling contrast of a kindly façade with the cold efficiency of a career criminal, making her a chilling reminder that the most dangerous monsters sometimes wear cardigans instead of claws.
