La consideraban una abuelita ejemplar y "bondadosa". Hasta que hallaron siete víctimas en su jardín

Sacramento, California. The whole neighborhood knew Dorothea Puente as "the kind doctor": she baked tamales for her neighbors, tended a blooming garden, and took in the city's most vulnerable: lonely elderly people, those with addictions, those whom no one else would accept. On November 11, 1988, the police began excavating in her garden. Beneath the roses and azaleas, they found the remains of seven people. This isn't the story of a monster in a dark alley. It's the story of how a woman with a criminal record—and an explicit prohibition against working with the elderly—ran a boarding house for the most vulnerable, collected her benefits, and why a system that visited her more than fifteen times did nothing. A documentary analysis of one of the most disturbing cases in American criminal history: the face of the "welcoming evil," a chain of systemic failures, and the two ordinary people who stopped what the system ignored for years. All facts are based on investigation files, court documents, and open sources.
