Tales of Duendes (gnome-like creatures) are found all over Latin America and they are usually considered annoying and mischievous, not malicious. Except for certain tales, in which duendes are blamed when children, men, women, people go missing. Today, Cristina tells Carmen (MJ is out) about different cases from the Missing 411 subreddit involving duendes, one story that takes place in the Madidi National forest and a few duende listener stories.
