The infamous Dorothea Puente, a Sacramento woman who was convicted of several murders, died of natural causes in prison.
Puente owned a boarding house on F Street in downtown Sacramento where she killed her mentally ill customers for their social security checks. In an article in the NY Times Puente stated, “I used to be a very good person at one time.”
This shows that although Puente must have been a very disturbed women to kill amother human, she understood what she was doing at the same time. Puente was convicted in 1993; however, she committed the murders throughout the 80’s.
“She still claims all the victims died of natural causes,” claimed a worker at the prison that Puente was held at.
It seems as though Puente got worse while in jail, she went from being accountable to claiming she was innocent.
