The Infamous Boardinghouse On F Street

Bicycling around town, decided to stop by one of Sacramento's more-infamous landmarks, the boardinghouse on F Street where Dorothea Puente killed at least nine (maybe as many as 15, and convicted of three). Nice-looking place!

Superman statue up there. Curious....


The murders had an impact in popular culture. I like Tommy Lee Jones' musings in "No Country For Old Men." The details aren't right, but the general idea comes through loud and clear.




Friend Jetta Linda Ostrofsky played Dorothea Puente in a Travel Channel special. I see her silhouette at about 18 seconds here:



Jetta adds: "Yep I did, The room I was in was very cold the rest of the house was warm, you know what that means...."
