In this episode, we will discuss Sacramento, California's "Boarding House Serial Killer," Dorothea Puente. She operated a boarding house for the elderly and mentally disabled in the 80's right in downtown Sacramento. She would drug her unsuspecting victims with sleeping pills, suffocate them and then prepare their bodies for burial in an upstairs room with lye before dragging them into her backyard where she would bury them in one of the holes that had been dug by a hired handyman. Get ready to be suspicious of the sweet, little old lady down the street after you listen to his episode.
