How Dorothea Puente Became the Serial Killer You’d Least Expect

How rare are female serial killers? Phelps discusses the latest trends in serial murder and takes a deep dive into the story of Dorothea Puente, an unsuspecting murderer who seemed like the sweetest, little old lady on the block. She set up her home as a safe place for the unhoused and elderly, promising to care for them--that is, until her tenants began to disappear.* *This episode includes producer Cristina Everett, who no longer works on the show.    Hosted on Acast.
