The case of the "death house landlady" is being explored in a new true-crime documentary on Oxygen titled "Murders at the Boarding House" as part of the network’s "Serial Killer Week." According to investigators, the Sacramento boarding house operator had a Victorian-style home where she welcomed "shadow people" – also known as the elderly, alcoholics, as well as the disabled. According to the outlet, her attorneys said Puente didn’t report her tenants’ deaths because she was afraid of violating her parole by running a boarding house that specifically catered to the elderly. There was also Vera Faye Martin, a 64-year-old resident of Puente’s boarding house who investigators believe was buried alive. Part 2 of "Murders at the Boarding House" airs Sunday, April 18 at 7 p.m.
