    I love mufder documentaries, but this one SUCKED!!! DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

    The Hispanic woman that didn't have a neck who kept saying Dorothea's name over and over and over again in that stupid accent got on my last nerve.

    The ignorant a$$ cop that let her go is still ignorant to this day.

    This could've been told in 10 minutes.

    Not you're typical grandma

    Very good documentary. Paced and told well. I could have done with out Rosie Gayton's WAY over the top pronunciation of Dorothea's name. We get it you're Latin, thank you.

    Keystone Cops Were More Intelligent

    Another show that could have been half its length. I couldn't listen to Carbrera another minute after hearing that the taxi driver had to contact the police. And this was after he escorted her to the hotel for coffee? I mean, buffoon is too kind of a word. Cabrera is just too wrapped up in his own ego to be a good cop or to be really good at anything requiring brain matter. 3 stars, which is probably two too many.

    A grandma with murder on her mind

    I had seen another version of this murderous granny and it was very interesting. This version, murder at the boarding house, was just as good or better. It was in greater detail of this grandma, an extensive version as matter of fact. I thought the more detailed version was better. This was because it detailed each victim and their family's reaching out to the police as to where or what happen to their grandpa and or granny. This was a excellent version not disappointing at all. Give it a look see, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

    Waste of time

    It just amazes me of the privileges that Dorothy had while cops are finding body's in the back yard and let go to have a coffee, like wtf that cop should have been sacked, there were other crimes committed by other people around that time for stealing and given life sentence and he's Dorothy allowed to run off and get a Coffee 😑
