In episode 8 of Season 3, we will discuss Dorothea Puente…meanie grannie. Born in Redlands, California in 1929; Dorothea’s childhood was way less then ideal.

In episode 4 of Season 3, we will discuss Judy Buenoano - an American serial killer. She had a very terrible upbringing...BUT as we've stated plenty of times in the past, that doesn't give you the right to kill people.

For these crimes, she received a 12-year-sentence for the attempted murder of one husband, a li...

Even in the end, there was something about her that kept her from really serving time for her crimes. At the age of 24/25, she murdered and mutilated her husband...leaving only his torso on "The Mountain" (at Niagara Falls). What inves...
