“We were impressed, we were thinking, ‘She is nice.’ ” Puente told Judy that she was independently wealthy and simply liked helping people. Puente’s boarding house came well-recommended, and it seemed as if Bert would be in good hands. The landlord had a reputation for taking in boarders with mental disabilities or alcoholism and giving them a safe place to stay while they paid her rent out of Social Security checks.“Dorothea Puente was loved by her community, and loved by local politicians,” Detective John Cabrera of the Sacramento Police Department says in the documentary.
