Episode description

Hello and welcome to Crime & Spirits, where your hosts teach you about true crime, spooky stories, and how to make a great cocktail.

This week we are diving into the life and crimes of Dorothea Puente. Back in the 80s, Dorothea ran a boarding house in Sacramento, California. To most, she was a kind and caring older woman who just wanted to help people. In reality, Dorothea was incredibly abusive, a thief, and a murderer.

She presented herself as a loving grandmother type, but it was nothing more than a ruse. Dorothea Puente is one of the most cold and calculating serial killers we've studied so far.

For sipping along this week, we're mixing up the "Italian Sweet Cherry Margarita."

Not a drinker? That's okay! Make yourself some coffee or grab a bottle of water. It doesn't matter what you're sipping along with. We're just happy to have you here!

Come hang out with us on social media. This is where we post drink recipes and fun how-to videos! -Instagram & Facebook: @crimeandspiritspod -TikTok: @crimeandspiritspodcast
