Once upon a time, there lived a little old lady in Sacramento, CA in the 1980s. Dorothea Puente ran a boarding house for the sick and elderly. She provided a room to stay and food to eat, but no one could have imagined what she was really doing. Dorothea spent her time as a landlady poisoning those that lived under her care, stealing their Social Security checks, and burying their dead bodies in her yard. What was once thought to be a kind old lady turned out to be Sacramento's worst nightmare.
