Malcolm McKenzie, 74, is named among the victims connected to Dorothea Puente’s boarding house in Sacramento, California. McKenzie accused Puente of drugging him and stealing his pension; Puente was convicted of theft in his case and received a five-year prison sentence.

Many victims were reportedly buried in the yard. She cultivated a grandmotherly persona, and her crimes were uncovered during investigations through the 1980s. Puente was later tried, sentenced to life without parole, and remained imprisoned until her death at age 82 in 2011.

Does anyone have direct knowledge of Malcolm McKenzie’s life before he went to Puente’s boarding house or recollections about him from Sacramento in the 1980s?
