Behind the painted Victorian facade of a Sacramento boarding house, a grandmotherly woman served home-cooked meals, tended her garden, and quietly murdered the most vulnerable people in her care — welcome to the chilling true crime podcast story of Dorothea Puente, one of America's most deceptive and disturbing serial killers.
In this episode of Dark Whispers: Serial Killers, produced by Dark Whisper Studios, we dig into the psychology of a predator who weaponised maternal warmth, examining how Puente drugged and killed elderly and mentally ill tenants before burying their bodies beneath her manicured garden to cash their Social Security cheques — we explore the investigative failures that allowed her to kill for years, the victims whose lives were stolen, and the criminal psychology behind a killer who looked nothing like the monster she was.
