She went further and claimed to be a medical doctor to various elderly women and took advantage of their situation and robbing them afterwards. She was neither a medical doctor or a nurse. She took advantage of her victims and administer stupefying drugs because all the victims reported the same kind of symptoms.
Dorothea had an innocent look and talks calmly, so it would be difficult to see her harmless also with the fact that she was an elderly woman and was well known in the society by her generosity.
All earth was loose after the death of Bety. Bety was one of Dorothea’s tenant who was brought by Judy, a Social Security Officer to live in Dorothea’s house.

In all the series, there are interviews with families, freeness, relatives, detectives and specialists to unravel these insane acts and stories.
The additional comic animation and quality picture in the movie gave it a good shot which brought the story into reality. It wouldn’t be surprise if there are more series coming out soon. It is highly recommended you watch these series if you are a fan of crime, detective and documentary films.
