Sacramento has long put away the memory of Dorothea Puente, the notorious serial killer who poisoned her elderly tenants and then buried them in her midtown backyard. But, Sacramento Police haven’t.

CBS 13 reports, “John Cabrera, one of the men who helped uncover her crimes 29 years ago, is returning to this one-time “house of horrors”, but this time with education as his mission.

“She had the perfect crime going on here in this house and nobody knew about it,” said Cabrera. “It was right under the nose of everybody.”

CBS 13’s video gives us a fascinating look inside the home on F Street.
