Alaina brings us part one of Dorothea Puente, possibly one of the most evil humans who has ever walked the earth. Dorothea had an incredibly sad childhood, but then grew into this terrible woman who lied, cheated and scammed her way through just about everything. You will be shocked to hear how many times she got away with actual law breaking offenses, Ash actually lost count halfway through the episode. And guys, this is only part one!!
Some fascinating books used:
The Bone Garden by William P. Wood
Buried Beneath The Boarding House by Ryan Green
Corpse Collector by Genova Ortiz

Special thanks for our listener Kelly, who shared an important tale with us as well! Hold on to your butts!!!
There was also a listener who shared their horror film with us (which they star in!) and we DIG IT! So, we wanted to share it! Check out Meridian here:
