Dorothea Puente was a convicted serial k1ller who ran a boarding house in Sacramento, California in the 1980s. Puente cashed in the Social Security checks of the elderly and disabled boarders living in her house. Many of them found d3ad and bvried in the boarding house’s yard.
Puente housed elderly and disabled tenants in her boarding house. While they were living there, she read their mail and took any money and Social Security checks they received. She paid each of them monthly stipends but kept the remainder for what she claimed were expenses for the boarding house. Puente’s boarding house was visited by several parole agents as a result of previous orders for her to stay away from elderly people and not to handle government checks. Despite these frequent visits, she was never charged with anything. Neighbors began to grow suspicious of Puente when she stated that she “adopted” a homeless alcoholic man named “Chief” to serve as a handyman. She had Chief dig in the basement and remove soil and garbage from the property. Chief then put in a new concrete slab in the basement before he disappeared.
November 1988, another tenant in Puente’s house, Alvaro Montoya, disappeared. Montoya was developmentally disabled and had schizophrenia. After he failed to show up to meetings, his social worker reported him missing. Police arrived at Puente’s boarding house and began to search the property. They discovered recently disturbed soil and were able to uncover seven b0dies in the yard. When the investigation began, Puente was not considered a suspect. As soon as police let her out of their sight, she fled to Los Angeles, where she visited a bar and began to talk to an elderly pensioner. The man recognized her from the news and called the police.
Puente was sentenced to two life sentences which she served at Central California Women’s Facility in Madera County, California until her de3th in 2011 at age 82. Until her d3ath, she continued to insist that she was innocent and that the tenants
had all died of natural causes.
