About this listen
In 1980s Mexico, Sebastián and Álvaro Vargas Vil turned their home into a site of satanic rituals. What began with animal sacrifices escalated into human murders, with Sebastián as the dominant leader and Álvaro as his fearful accomplice. Their crimes were exposed when a victim escaped, leading police to discover blood-soaked altars and human remains. During trial, Álvaro wept while Sebastián boasted proudly of serving Satan. Both were imprisoned, and the case fueled a wave of satanic panic across Mexico.
This is Latin Noir — where every story is a reminder that evil often hides in plain sight.
If tonight’s case unsettled you, remember — the most chilling truths are the ones closest to home.
Join us next time, as we continue our descent into the crimes that shaped Latin America’s darkest history.
Until then… stay in the light, because the shadows are always closer than you think.
