  1. Episode 1

    Season 9 Dorothea Puente "The Death House Landlady" Episode 1 "The Ice Queen"

    She filled her house with fresh flowers, home-cooked meals, and a smile that made lonely, forgotten people feel safe. Then she made sure they never left. Dorothea Puente called herself a caretaker, but beneath the grandmotherly mask was a predator who knew exactly how to earn trust, right up until the moment she killed. After years of letters and face-to-face prison visits, Tony is taking you where no one has gone before. Secrets she’d never say on a recorded line. A chilling encounter behind bars with another woman, Carol Bundy, that awakened something dark. And a long-buried confession about the men who may never have woken up. Some of her story can be checked against the record.  Some of it you’ll have to decide for yourself.

  2. Episode 2

    Season 9: Dorothea Puente – “The Death House Landlady” Episode 2: “Lessons in Murder”

    Eighteen months. One failed marriage. Another husband gone. But Dorothea Puente was hardly settling down. By the 1970s, she had reinvented herself as a respectable landlady, turning her Sacramento boarding house into a haven for society’s forgotten souls. Lonely, vulnerable people who trusted her. People who had nowhere else to go. But behind the vintage clothes, oversized glasses, and grandmotherly image lurked a woman with a growing appetite for other people's money. Thirty-four stolen checks. A slap on the wrist. Five years of probation. And a court order telling her she could no longer operate a boarding house. Did that stop Dorothea? Not a chance. Then came the bars, the unsuspecting men, the drugged drinks, and more victims. By 1982, Dorothea was finally headed to prison. But something happened behind those prison walls that would change the course of her life. In 1983, another predator walked through the gates. Her name was Carol Bundy, The Sunset Strip Killer herself. And during one of my visits with Dorothea, she told me something Carol had said to her. It wasn't a lesson in survival. It wasn't a lesson in robbery. It was a lesson in murder. And Dorothea was listening.
