  Speaker 1: Welcome in, everyone, Ready for a chilling deep dive. We're
• 0:04
  heading to South America today, digging into an article highlighting
• 0:08
  some of its most notorious serial killers.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, it's one of those things you
• 0:12
  think of like the US always in the headlines, but
• 0:15
  South America, I mean, it's got its own whole set
• 0:17
  of disturbing stories and what's more often really tied to
• 0:22
  deeper societal issues.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's what we're really trying to unpack here,
• 0:26
  not just the crimes, but the why behind them. And
• 0:29
  the article doesn't shy away from that. It starts off
• 0:31
  strong with Pedro Lonzo Lopez, the monster of the Andes.
• 0:35
  Right away. The numbers are just staggering, over three hundred
• 0:39
  potential victims and the possibility he's still out there.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It's a lot to process, it really is.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And then new factor in his background, abuse violence. I mean,
• 0:48
  how much of it can you even attribute to something
• 0:49
  like that?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Right? And it's that age old question, isn't it nature
• 0:52
  versus nurture? Like we can't deny the impact of a
• 0:55
  traumatic childhood, but it's never an excuse, you know, it's
• 0:58
  a complex interplay of factor totally.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And speaking of complex let's talk about Pedro Rodriguez Fibo
• 1:05
  or Killer Peedi, born with a birth defect caused by
• 1:08
  his father's abuse of his mother while pregnant. Just where
• 1:11
  do you even start to untangle something like that psychologically?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It really makes you think about the cyclical nature of
• 1:17
  violence and how it can just perpetuate. And with Filo
• 1:20
  there's this added layer of well, the article mentions cannibalism,
• 1:24
  specifically eating a victim's heart, and that level of depersonalization,
• 1:30
  it's a whole other level of disturbing.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for those of us at home who might not
• 1:33
  be familiar with that term, could you explain what it
• 1:35
  means in this context?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Sure? So, Basically, it's this complete disregard for the victim's humanity.
• 1:40
  It's not just taking a life. It's about this need
• 1:43
  for control even after death. It's rare, even among serial killers.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Thankful, yea, that's a lot. But then you move on
• 1:50
  to someone like Julio Parisilva, the psychopath from alto Hospicio,
• 1:54
  and it's not just about one man's crimes. It's the
• 1:56
  system that failed those young girls, you know, especially from
• 1:59
  a Hoover's backgrounds. Just heartbreaking, It.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Really highlights those societal biases, you know, how poverty, lack
• 2:06
  of resources can just create this breeding ground almost like
• 2:11
  imagine a society where you can't trust law enforcement, where
• 2:14
  certain lives are seen as less important. It's a recipe
• 2:17
  for disaster.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and it makes you wonder how much we can
• 2:21
  really separate the individual from the environment. You know, it's
• 2:25
  all connected.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: One of pretent, It's like this horrifying puzzle where all
• 2:28
  the pieces are moving. You can't just point to one thing.
• 2:31
  It really is, and it's a pattern we see again
• 2:33
  and again.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. In fact, in the article also talk about
• 2:37
  Luis s. Garravito, the beast, Yeah, right, the beast. He
• 2:40
  prayed on young boys and again so many from vulnerable backgrounds.
• 2:44
  It's like that exploitation of innocence just makes it a.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Whole other level of evil almost, It.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Really is, And it makes you think about those stereotypes,
• 2:50
  you know, because then you have someone like Carlos Eduardo
• 2:53
  Robledo Pooch, the angel of death.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Right from a wealthy family, used his privilege, his looks
• 2:59
  to get get away with it for so long.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Exactly. It just goes to show you there's no one
• 3:05
  type of serial killer.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: No easy answers, and that's what makes it so hard
• 3:09
  to like profile these guys predicts who might be capable
• 3:13
  of these acts.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Totally though, speaking of no easy answers, the article didn't
• 3:17
  really get into Putcha's motive, did it. Was there anything
• 3:20
  that explained his drive to kill?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Not really? And honestly, that's the thing with a lot
• 3:24
  of these cases, right, like, sometimes there just isn't a
• 3:27
  clear reason, at least not one that we can fully grasp.
• 3:31
  It's just pure senseless.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Violence, which is terrifying in its own right. And then
• 3:35
  you know, you read about someone like Daniel Camargo Barbosa
• 3:39
  over one hundred and fifty young girls, the brutality, it's
• 3:43
  hard to even fathom.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It really makes you question human nature, doesn't it? Like
• 3:47
  level of cruelty He tortured his victims, often dismembered them
• 3:51
  while they were still alive. That's that's pure sadism.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It's beyond disturbing. It's like, where does that even come from?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly? And unfortunately some questions might not have answers, get.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: That's true, it's just I don't know. You hope there's
• 4:02
  always some.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Explanation, but sometimes it's just darkness.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. And then you have someone
• 4:07
  like Thiago Henry Goms Darrocha the articles that he killed
• 4:12
  to release fury. I mean, what does that even mean?
• 4:15
  He was a security guard then just starts shooting people
• 4:17
  on his motorbike.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It's interesting you bring him up because on paper, his
• 4:22
  crimes almost seem random, like no clear pattern, no specific
• 4:25
  victim profile, and yet there's this coldness, this detachment that's
• 4:30
  just chilling, you know.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Right right, almost like he was just going through the motions.
• 4:34
  But and this is kind of a weird observation, but
• 4:37
  he got caught stealing a license plate.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember reading that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It's just it makes you realize these guys, as calculated
• 4:44
  as they try to be.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: They're still human. They make mistakes, they do.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a weird bit of hope, you know,
• 4:50
  like even in the darkest of situations, justice can still prevail. Yeah,
• 4:54
  something like that. Though it's not always about luck or mistakes, right,
• 4:57
  I mean, the article highlighted how a lot of these
• 4:59
  guys or caught because people spoke up, reported things that
• 5:03
  seemed off suspicious behavior.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Public vigilance. It's a powerful tool, often underestimated people noticing things,
• 5:11
  saying something when something feels.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Wrong, right, And sometimes that's all it takes.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Right, Sometimes that one little detail can crack the whole
• 5:18
  thing wide open.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It's like they always say, you know, see something, say something. Yeah, absolutely,
• 5:22
  Sometimes that's all it takes one person noticing what others
• 5:26
  might miss.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It really underscores how we all have a role to play, right, Yeah,
• 5:30
  keeping our community safe for.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Sure, But I keep thinking beyond just like being vigilant.
• 5:37
  Is there more we can do? I mean, we've talked
• 5:39
  about poverty, lack of resources, those systemic issues. How do
• 5:43
  we even begin to address.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That big question? Right, Like, where do you even start?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Right? It feels overwhelming almost early intervention, better mental health support.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: All of that, and then some you know, creating a
• 5:56
  society where people have hope, opportunity, where vulnerable is protected,
• 6:01
  not taking advantage of It's a huge task, but we
• 6:04
  got to start somewhere.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: It's like, instead of just reacting to these horrible events,
• 6:08
  how do we prevent them from happening in the first place?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Exactly? Shifting that whole mindset from reactive to proactive.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Powerful stuff. Yeah, So after all this, you know, diving
• 6:19
  deep into this really dark subject matter, what's the takeaway?
• 6:23
  What do we do with this information?
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Well, for me, it always comes back to awareness, understanding
• 6:28
  the complexities. Right, we can't just write these guys off
• 6:31
  as monsters. There's always more to the story.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It's a lot to unpack, that's for sure. But I
• 6:35
  always appreciate our conversations, even when they're tough like this.
• 6:39
  You know, it's about staying informed, having these discussions even
• 6:42
  when they're uncomfortable.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And maybe, I don't know, maybe by understanding the darkness
• 6:47
  a little better, we can shed some light on how
• 6:49
  to prevent it. Well said, While that wraps up our
• 6:52
  deep dive for today. We know this one was heavy,
• 6:55
  but we hope you found it thought provoking. Until next time,
• 6:58
  stay curious and take care.
