The Pan American Highway is 18,640 miles long. But there is a small, hot, dark, dangerous portion along the borders of Panama & Colombia where it will not go: this is The Darien Gap, a land of leopards, impossible terrain, poisonous animals, lost tribes and drug cartels. An unforgiving jungle country so lethal that it remains unmapped: it’s crossing is either a badge of honor or the last thing you will ever do. Our guest, Carlos Villalon, is the ultimate expert to explain the vicious beauty of this little talked about part of the world. Carlos is a photojournalist from Bogota Colombia and has extensively explored the Gap. In fact, most of the images in today’s episode were taken by Carlos himself. Sit back while we take you into the land that even humanity has decided to abandon.

Human monsters do exist. We talk about Charles Manson or Golden State Killer but Gerald and Charlene Gallegos were monsters that we think only exist in fiction. Today Ret. Sacramento Detective John Cabrera returns to talk about the one killer that made him physically sick. Gerald and Charlene Gallegos had at least 10 victims that were kidnapped, tortured, and assaulted before being brutally murdered. Gerald, a hardened criminal and son of a murderer and Charlene, the cute girl-next-door from an upper middle-class family. When these two met, they became a couple that could only have been made in hell. A couple that for two years had Northern California paralyzed with fear as young girls were abducted from the local shopping malls John takes us into the backstory of the killers and their victims, step by step of the timeline and how dedicated detectives before today’s technological advances built a case and caught these sociopaths.
