Episode 47: Pedro Rodrigues Filho
In the realm of Brazilian true crime, few figures stand as chilling and enigmatic as Pedro Rodrigues Filho, a drifter and serial killer who terrorized the city of Garanhuns and its surroundings between 1973 and 1992. Dubbed the "Killer of Garanhuns" and the "Brazilian Gravedigger," Filho's murderous rampage involved the murder of at least 71 people, though he confessed to over 100. His crimes, motivated by a twisted desire for power and control, left a trail of fear and despair in their wake.
