Latin Noir - True Crime

#03 - Pedro Alonso López - The Monster of the Andes


Listen Later

Tonight, we tell the story of a man whose crimes defy comprehension… a predator who roamed the mountains and valleys of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, leaving behind hundreds of shattered families.
His name is Pedro Alonso López.
The world would come to know him as ‘The Monster of the Andes.’
What follows is not just a tale of violence, but of how one man slipped through the cracks of three nations, evading justice for years. It is a story of loss, of failure, and of the chilling possibility that the darkness he carried may still be out there.
