Columbia's Deranged Monster: Luis Garavito

Travis Fenn Episode 19

Today, we dive deep into the chilling story of Luis Garavito, the world's most prolific and horrifying serial killer. Known as "The Beast," Garavito's reign of terror across Colombia from the 1980s to the late 1990s claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent children. This episode explores his troubled past, the unimaginable nature of his crimes, the investigation that led to his capture, and the legacy of pain and reform left in his wake.

Join us as we uncover the twisted psyche of a predator and examine the social and systemic failures that allowed his crimes to persist for so long. How did he evade capture for over a decade? What drove him to commit such unspeakable acts? And what lessons can we learn from this dark chapter in history?

Listener discretion is advised, as we delve into sensitive and unsettling subject matter with this one!
