About this listen
In Part 2 of our deep dive into the disturbing case of Dorothea Puente, we move past suspicion and into the horrifying truth hidden beneath the surface—literally.
As investigators begin digging into Dorothea’s Sacramento boarding house, they uncover far more than anyone expected. What started as concerns over missing tenants quickly spirals into a chilling discovery that shocks the community and exposes a pattern of manipulation, greed, and calculated murder.
This week, we discuss:
The excavation of the backyard and the remains discovered there
How Dorothea preyed on society’s most vulnerable
The financial motives behind her crimes
Her arrest, escape attempt, and eventual trial
The disturbing lack of remorse shown throughout the investigation
Dorothea Puente wasn’t just a killer—she was a master manipulator who hid unimaginable violence behind a grandmotherly smile and a plate of cookies. Part 2 reveals how long she got away with it… and why.
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of murder, elder abuse, and exploitation of vulnerable individuals. Listener discretion is advised.
Thank you for listening, and as always—hug your people tight and trust your gut.
