About this listen

In episode 25 of the 5 Minute Murder podcast, we delve into the chilling case of Pedro Alonso López, one of history’s most prolific serial killers. Known as The Monster of the Andes, López confessed to the brutal murders of over 300 young girls across Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru during the 1970s and early 1980s. His crimes, marked by deception and cruelty, went undetected for years, and despite his conviction, he was later released, disappearing without a trace. This episode explores the disturbing story of López, the failures of justice that enabled his freedom, and the haunting mystery of what became of him.
