The Killer Grandma 😱

An interesting fact about Dorothea Puente, often referred to as the "killer grandma who rented out rooms," is that she maintained a charming and grandmotherly persona to mask her crimes. In the 1980s, she ran a boarding house in Sacramento, California, where she took in vulnerable tenants—many of whom were elderly, disabled, or homeless. She poisoned and killed at least nine of them with drugs like sleeping pills, then buried their bodies in her backyard. To keep her scheme going, she continued cashing their social security checks long after their deaths, all while projecting an image of a sweet, caring "grandma" who even told people to call her by that name. Her ability to deceive those around her made her crimes particularly chilling and harder to suspect until a social worker’s persistence led to the discovery of the bodies.

This is why I don’t trust old ladies. Too many sweats.

Crazy ass lady

@grok is this based on a true story?

Her punishment just 2 years in jail since she died not even 2 years after

Can someone explain?

9 bodies horrible. Is this a true story?

I remember seeing this story on an ID TV show. Prolly something like Fear They Neighbor. She got caught when a homeless man died after being suggested into her care from a helper, and the helper did a shit ton of personal investigation with the detectives too.

cold hearted granny

I watch these without sound, makes it even better
