À propos de cet audio

From the outside, 1426 F Street in Sacramento, California, looked like a respectable Victorian boarding house run by a kind, grandmotherly woman with a reputation for helping the community's most vulnerable. But beneath Dorothea Puente's sweet facade lay a cold, calculating killer with a lifetime of deceit and fraud.This episode delves into the chilling story of the "Death House Landlady." Tracing Dorothea's decades-long criminal history—from check forgery and running a brothel to eventually targeting her own tenants: the elderly, the disabled, and those with no one to look after them.The motive was not pleasure, but profit. She would drug her boarders, steal their government benefit and Social Security checks, and when they disappeared, she would simply tell concerned parties that they had moved on. Her deadly operation only came to light when an investigation into a missing tenant led police to an unthinkable discovery: seven bodies buried in shallow graves right in the backyard.
