Exposing the horrors of crimes from those that walk among us, whilst exploring the link between food and true crime.

Dorothea Puente, took her role as the neighborhood grandmother seriously. She helped those in need, frequently donated to charity and ran a boarding house for those society had seemingly cast aside. From an outsider's point of view, Dorothea was a saint, an angel. While in reality, something dark was lurking underneath.

My guest this week, is Shane Bugbee, an artist, writer and cultural archeologist. Shane is the author of the book, “Cooking With a Serial Killer, recipes from Dorothea Puente’. Shane wrote to Dorothea in prison, got to know her, and worked with her to create a cookbook of her recipes which offer a chilling and unique insight into the life of this prolific female serial killer.
