Former Home of Sacramento Serial Killer Sold at Auction
The former home of notorious Sacramento serial killer (and onetime brothel owner) Dorothea Puente, behind which Puente buried seven of her victims, sold for $215,000 this past weekend at auction. Bay Area natives and longtime residents may recall the story of Puente, who ran a boarding house at the 1426 F Street property for elderly tenants.
