Tune in to hear Kat tell us all about Mexico's very "first" serial killer who was caught in 2005. You are reading that right, folks! Kat does a deep dive into La Mataviejitas (Sp. "The Little Old Lady Killer") sentenced to 759 years in prison for the killing of 16 elderly women. She was, however, said to have killed anywhere from 16 to 60 elderly women between the years on 1998 to 2005. (Dates and victim numbers are not solid!)
Listen and hear all about the dark side of humanity - with beer!
