She Looked Like a Sweet Grandma... Until They Found the Bodies

Dorothea Puente appeared to be the last person anyone would suspect of murder. In 1980s Sacramento, she was known as a kind, grandmotherly woman who opened her home to society's most vulnerable people—elderly residents, disabled individuals, and those with nowhere else to go. To neighbors, she seemed caring and generous. To the people living under her roof, she offered shelter, meals, and support. But one by one, her tenants began disappearing. Friends and family were told they had moved away. Social workers were given excuses. Questions were asked, but the answers always seemed to satisfy investigators—until one missing person case led police to her Victorian boarding house. What they discovered beneath the backyard would expose one of California's most disturbing serial murder cases. In this episode of Unlawful Acts, Connie and Jocelyn unravel the shocking crimes of Dorothea Puente, the woman who turned a place of refuge into a killing ground. From forged checks and stolen benefits to multiple murders hidden beneath her property, this is the chilling story of how a seemingly harmless grandmother became one of America's most notorious serial killers.
