MIchelle: Mm-hmm.
Paul: Welcome everybody in North America and around the world. Thank you for joining us here in the Spooky Coop. Tonight, we are going to talk about the monster of the Andes.
MIchelle: Yeah.
Paul: And it is not a it's not a paranormal or a cryptid monster. It's not- It is a human being ...
MIchelle: Bigfoot or, um-
Paul: Anything like that.
MIchelle: Yeah.
Paul: Yeah.
MIchelle: Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, uh, we're here to explore things that go bump in the night, or in this case, uh, not quite bump in the night, and, um, [00:01:00] some of the terrifying realities we look at are sometimes not, uh, cryptids.
Sometimes they're people.
Paul: That's right.
MIchelle: Mm-hmm.
Paul: And these, we've covered ghosts, cryptids, things hiding in the dark woods, but today we're gonna step off the paranormal path, and we're gonna walk straight into a, a real-life nightmare. Pleasant, pleasant subject, isn't it, everybody? Yeah.
MIchelle: Yeah, grab your blankets.
Grab y- grab your security blankets.
Paul: Grab your warm drink.
MIchelle: Yeah.
Paul: Or your cold one. Grab your
MIchelle: popcorn.
Paul: And your popcorn.
MIchelle: Yep.
Paul: So
MIchelle: Michelle- So here we go. Um, you understand that sometimes, uh, people are monsters that are worse than other monsters, and sometimes we do a crime thing, right?
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: And today we're gonna talk about, um, what's his name?
Lopez
Paul: s- Pedro Alonso López.
MIchelle: Pe- Pedro Alonso No- uh, ne-
Paul: López. I have to say- Say that three times fast ...
MIchelle: Pedro Alonso López.
Paul: It might be a- Okay ... it might be Alonso.
MIchelle: Well, that's okay. I, uh, forget it. I can't do [00:02:00] that.
Paul: We-
MIchelle: Okay, it is
Paul: kind- We're in America. We can say anything as wrong as we want. We-
MIchelle: Yeah ...
Paul: we'll get away
MIchelle: with it.
By the way, we will say it as wrong
Paul: as As we can. Okay, he's a man. Anyway, Alonso, Ped- He had a terrible childhood ... Pedro Alonso was a man whose crimes, they, they spread across s- three South American countries and made him one of the most prolific and terrifying serial killers in human history.
MIchelle: South America, or in human history.
Paul: In human history. And to understand how a human becomes a monster, you have to look at where it all started, and in Alonso's case, his, his childhood was a crucible of neglect, abuse, and unimaginable trauma.
MIchelle: Yeah, it was terrible, the poor guy. Um, he had a, a terrible, terrible mom. He was living in a country that had awful civil war.
It was at the time where it was a b- Absolutely brutal civil conflict.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Hundreds and thousands of [00:03:00] people, uh, their lives were, uh, like upset. People were dying in- Ended ... this war. Yeah.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: Where, where, like totally. Mm-hmm. His father, uh, was violently ended, if you will, um, and left him with his mother.
She was a horrible, horrible person. You know, and his mother, well, she, uh, wasn't a nurturing figure at all. She was my mother. No- ... she wasn't my mother, but she was identical to my mother. Um, I can say that. All this is gonna- My mother's on the other side and she- ... come
Paul: back to bite us in the butt
MIchelle: one day, I suppose Yeah.
My, my mother's on the other side. Who knows? She'll probably come and yell at me.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: First thing she did after she died, she came back and said to me, "You know what? You really need to clean the kitchen."
Paul: Right.
MIchelle: You know? I mean, she, kitchen can be spotless. She hated the way I put my kit- Right ... but anyway.
Paul: Anyway.
MIchelle: Yeah.
Paul: Anyway. Reports, reports from his early life paint a picture of severe abuse. By the time Pedro was just eight [00:04:00] years old, his mother caught him in bed with one of his sisters and threw him out onto the streets of Bogota. The
MIchelle: worst part was they were playing Nintendo.
Paul: Imagine being eight years old-
homeless in one of the most dangerous cities in South America. He spent his childhood fending for himself as a street kid, running with gangs, falling into juvenile detention centers, and enduring rampant physical and sexual abuse at the hands of older inmates and guards.
MIchelle: That's right, and it was a terrible cycle.
Absolutely horrific. And, uh, by the time he was a young man, he was, like, you know, doing this to other people. And, um, that it was so bad, he was institutionalized when they caught him, and completely warped his worldview. I
Paul: believe that was later on he got institutionalized.
MIchelle: Well, when he was older.
Paul: Hmm. Yeah.
MIchelle: You know, he got caught. He was ins- institutionalized. There was a trauma effect.
Paul: Oh, yes. Right, right. Yep.
MIchelle: Yeah, trauma effect. Mm-hmm. And, um, in one of his later confessions, he claimed that it was his, it was a vendetta that he was having against [00:05:00] society- Mm-hmm ... because of those formative years. He blamed the world for what happened to him.
Right. And that's what he did. He went on to- Mm-hmm ... hurt people because he felt that people had hurt him.
Paul: Right. He spent years drifting in and out of petty crime, car theft, and prison. By the late 1960s and 1970s, his crimes escalated from theft to abduction and murder.
MIchelle: Yeah, it was a very new Nintendo.
Paul: And he and he realized, and he realized something chilling.
Across the rugged mountainous expanses of South America, borders were porous and tracking systems were primitive And children, especially poor, rural, or indigenous children, were devastatingly vulnerable.
MIchelle: They're very easy. You know, they go missing, and nobody would know.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: Yeah, that makes him such a staggering evil person.
Um, it isn't just the sheer number of his victims, it was the methodical and nomadic [00:06:00] way that he moved through the area, not being able to be traced. And his crimes, they didn't just happen in one place. Because he went from border to border through the mountain areas- Mm-hmm ... and the u- rural areas- Right
he just went on and on. You know, through Colombia, through Peru, through Ecuador.
Paul: Yeah, he moved like a ghost through the Andes. In the mid-1970s, he began targeting young girls, typically between the ages of eight and 12. His modus operandi was deceptively simple. He would prey on poor families, street children, or kids walking alone near rural markets and schools.
MIchelle: Yeah, and he apprehended them with friendly smile and, you know, the usual things, puppies, uh, probably, you know, dinner. Uh, sorry, I shouldn't have said puppies and dinner in the same line. Small amounts of money, candy, asking them to help him, show him a way around places- Mm-hmm ... um, because it blended seamlessly with these quiet, [00:07:00] unassuming kids, you know, and he was just the happy drifter looking for help, and the children trusted him.
They came from very s- innocent areas, and they trusted him.
Paul: Yeah, o- once he lured them into isolated areas, dense forests, secluded mountain trails, or abandoned shacks, the mask would slip. He would assault, torture, and end the life of his victims, then bury or conceal their bodies in shallow graves across the rugged Andean terrain.
MIchelle: Yeah, and then sheer scale of it, you know, Paul, it was overwhelming. I mean, it wasn't like, like, you know, this was, like, his afternoon hobby.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: It was, it was terrible. It was hard for the human mind to even process. In Peru, he claimed, when he was caught, he claimed to have ended the lives of dozens and dozens of little girls, just in one region.
Paul: Mm.
MIchelle: And when local indigenous communities n- noticed that their children were disappearing, uh, they feared that the mountain villagers in, uh, like, in one place in Peru- [00:08:00] It was almost like they thought that these kids were being eaten by some monster or something.
Paul: Right.
MIchelle: You know? Mm-hmm. And they, uh, actually went on to, uh, think that a local man had been hurting these- Mm-hmm
kids or doing something with these kids. You know, they pick on somebody that's a little- Right ... odd.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: And, um, and they caught this guy, and, um, and they believed that he was the guy, and so Lopez got away with it. And he- Mm-hmm ... you know, and there was a fury of mad, uh, justice who, um- They- ... actually caught the guy
Paul: They- That
MIchelle: other guy
Paul: well, they executed the wrong guy-
MIchelle: Yeah ...
Paul: on the spot. They-
MIchelle: Yeah ... yeah, that guy who they thought was the guy. And
Paul: it
MIchelle: wasn't- They grabbed him and executed
Paul: him. Yeah, and, and it wasn't Lopez.
MIchelle: No.
Paul: It was an-
MIchelle: Lopez got away scot-free ...
Paul: innocent man. The real- Yeah ... the real killer slipped away across the border into Ecuador, continuing his horrific spree unchecked.
MIchelle: Mm-hmm.
Paul: By the late 1970s, the Andes were living under a silent shadow, and authorities had no idea that a single hypermobile predator was responsible for the [00:09:00] disappearing children.
MIchelle: Yeah, it was in several countries. They thought they had several predators. Mm-hmm. You know? You know, there was a, you know, you know, s- it was just terrible.
Um, every monster eventually makes a mistake, and he did.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: Um, in his case, in Pedro Alonso Lopez... Did I get it right?
Paul: You did.
MIchelle: Um, his mis- Gold
Paul: star. There you go. On your shoulder.
MIchelle: Yay. Go ahead. Thank you. Uh, his mistake happened in 1980, I think it was March, um, in the city of, what was it? Albato? El-
Paul: Ambato.
MIchelle: Ambato in Ecuador.
Paul: Ambato. Damn, I hate that I only speak one language good. Ambato. Ambato, Ecuador.
MIchelle: I speak lizard.
Paul: Ah, yes you do.
MIchelle: Yes, hi. Um-
Paul: Isn't that something like, "Hi there," to a model?
MIchelle: Yeah. It happened then.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: You know? And, um, and it happened quite easily.
Paul: Right.
MIchelle: Yeah.
Paul: Yeah, so Lopez had set his sights on a 12-year-old girl named Marina Roman Poveda.
Uh, he approached her near- Is
MIchelle: that Roma?
Paul: He [00:10:00] approached her near a bustling outdoor market, offering her money to carry, to help him carry some goods, but he didn't realize who was watching.
MIchelle: Yeah, his mo- her mom was watching, her mom Caroline. I can say Caroline. Uh, that one I can read. Um, she was keeping a close eye on her daughter because she knew that, you know, that this person was going around.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: And she spotted him talking to her daughter and noticed something deeply strange and unsettling about him and the way he was acting around her daughter.
Paul: Right.
MIchelle: Yeah. Yeah. So instinct kicked in, you know, that mother bear-
Paul: Mm-hmm ...
MIchelle: right? And, um, before he could start lead, you know, taking her away, she saw this, he's starting to get too friendly.
Um, she rushed over and screamed at the top of her lungs. She grabbed him by the collar, wouldn't let him go. She's like, "This is, he's trying to kidnap my kid." Right. "He's trying to take my kid."
Paul: And instantly the atmosphere at the market changed.
MIchelle: Oh, yeah. People were freaking out.
Paul: [00:11:00] Market vendors, bystanders, and local shoppers rushed to help.
They swarmed Lopez, overpowering him before he could pull a weapon or escape If the local pe- police hadn't arrived rapidly to pull the crowd away, street justice once again would have ended, not once again, but would have ended the Monster of the Andes right there in the dirt.
MIchelle: Well, street justice,
Paul: they caught- It was the second time in this story.
Yeah,
MIchelle: yeah. But
Paul: if they hadn't stopped him, if they hadn't stopped it, he would've been gone. That would've been the end of it all.
MIchelle: Mm-hmm. They dragged them down to the police station- Mm-hmm ... expecting, you know, a routine kidnapping, like this one guy tried to catch this one girl, and they had no idea that they just caught this massive serial killer, you know, whose body count was unlike anything South America had ever seen.
Paul: Right. At first, López was a wall of silence. He sat in his cell in Ambato, refusing to cooperate, staring blankly at investigators, and standard interrogation tactics were getting nowhere.
MIchelle: [00:12:00] Right. So they decided that they'd put, pull the old cop pretending to be a, a criminal in the cell thing.
Paul: Yeah. Captain Pastor Cordova, Guidin- Guidino.
I couldn't-
MIchelle: Guido Sarti- I blew it ... who remembers Guido Sartucci?
Paul: I couldn't do it.
MIchelle: My favorite time was when he said, "We're gonna play find the pope in the pizza." Yeah. That was my favorite one. Anyway, um, they wondered how they could crack the guy.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: So, um, they took that psychological approach. They got this other guy and said that he was, uh, they threw him in the cell with the guy-
Paul: Mm-hmm
MIchelle: and they made a friendship.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: And finally, uh, López-
Paul: That was the captain, Captain Cordova.
MIchelle: Yeah.
Paul: And- He went in disguise ...
MIchelle: Cordova. Finally, they decided to-
Paul: Whoa ...
MIchelle: he, he, he finally, um, you know, started telling him about, you know, he had-
Paul: Yeah ...
MIchelle: finally started bragging.
Paul: Yeah. Over weeks of shared confinement, building a twisted sense of camaraderie, López finally opened up, and what poured out of him horrified [00:13:00] the investigators.
MIchelle: Mm-hmm. He started to brag about all the girls- ... and all the murders and everything. He actually said that he had killed over 300 of them. And this guy told the other policemen, you know, and they were all skeptical. They said, "There's no way.
Paul: No way." Yeah, they thought it was the ramblings of a madman-
MIchelle: Yeah, yeah
Paul: until, until he said he proved it. He volunteered to lead police into the rugged Andean wilderness. Handcuffed and surrounded by armed guards, López walked investigators up misty mountain paths, pointing down at innocent patches of earth and saying, "There's one here and another over there."
MIchelle: Yep.
Paul: And-
MIchelle: They began to dig- Yeah
and they found them. They found, uh, you know, shallow graves with the remains of these poor little kids in them. And, um, it just in Ecuador alone, they unearthed 53. And, um, some of them, they found remains of, that [00:14:00] were way away f- because of flash floods.
Paul: Right.
MIchelle: Yeah. And, and it was terrible.
Paul: Right. W- so while police could officially verify and link him to 110, 110 total murders based on his precise details and recovered evidence, cementing his conviction, investigators remain convinced that his true toll easily surpassed the 100 mark, stretching all the way up to his staggering claim of 300 people.
MIchelle: Yeah, and while the graves were uncovered, his c- um, and that counted for his confession record, um, Lopez shocked the world, but excuse me. You
Paul: okay?
MIchelle: Yeah, I'm all right. It's been a long, long, long day. Um, the eagle, the eagle, the legal aftermath remains one of the most infuriating and baffled chapter. You wouldn't believe what this guy got away with.
Oh my gosh.
Paul: Yeah. He, uh, y- you should be aware of how the Ecuadorian legal system [00:15:00] operated at the time. In 1980, Ecuador did not have imprisonment, did, did not have life impris- Life imprisonment- Excuse me ...
MIchelle: or
Paul: death penalty. Or the death penalty. The absolute maximum prism s- prison sentence for ending someone's life under the penal c- under their penal code was a mere 16 years.
MIchelle: Do you believe it?
Paul: Yeah. For, yeah-
MIchelle: 16 years. For- Hundreds of murders. He didn't get 16 years for each murder, like 16 times- Right ... 100. He, he c- could only get- 16 for a
Paul: hun-
MIchelle: all of them ...
Paul: 16- Yeah ...
MIchelle: years for all of them. Yeah. They lumped them into one package.
Paul: Right. He pleaded guilty, was convicted and sentenced to those 16 years, and because of prison overcrowding and good behavior regulations, he only served 14 of those years behind bars.
In 1994, he was released.
MIchelle: Let that sink in for a minute. He mur- he murdered, he took, he- Undid. [00:16:00] He-
Paul: Ended the lives of ...
MIchelle: ended the lives. He unalive over 100 little kids, up to 300.
Paul: Mm.
MIchelle: And he served 14 years-
Paul: Mm-hmm ...
MIchelle: in prison, and then was released. And in broad daylight, he was released and deported back to his home country of Colombia-
Paul: Yeah, and then-
where
MIchelle: he walked free.
Paul: Yeah. It, it's, it's bafflingly unbelievable, isn't it? Yeah,
MIchelle: yeah.
Paul: In Colombia, authorities were waiting for him, but because of legal technicali- te- technicalities regarding his prior convictions and a subsequent psychological evaluation that declared him mentally unfit to stand trial, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital in Bogotá in 1998.
MIchelle: And guess what happened next? Three years later, the mental hospital said he's sane. Mm. Not he's sane to stand trial, [00:17:00] he's sane. Bye, let him go. So he walked free again.
Paul: Yeah, they, they granted... The court granted him a small bail amount, ordering him to check in with local authorities monthly. Yeah, so he, of course, checked in once, then he vanished.
MIchelle: Yep. Uh- He was gone ...
Paul: Interpol, they issued red notices. Investigators combed through missing persons reports a- and potential sightings and cold cases across South America, but Pedro Alonso López melted back into the shadows. To this day, nobody knows for certain if he is living out his final years under a false identity, or if he finally met a violent end at the hands of vigilantes who recognized him It is a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest monsters aren't hiding in the mountain mists or ancient folklore, they're walking right beside us.
MIchelle: You know, that is really freaky, you know? I mean, just the [00:18:00] way that this was all handled.
Paul: Yeah, the light sentences, the way he evaded things, there was no mechanism in place to, to deal with something like this.
MIchelle: Yeah, who knows? I mean, he could have went on to kill again.
Paul: Mm-hmm.
MIchelle: I mean, nobody really checked that, you know?
Paul: Yeah.
MIchelle: Who knows?
Paul: Someone like
MIchelle: that- That's right, Dragon. It's scary ...
Paul: it's, it's doubtful that, that, that he stopped given his,
MIchelle: his past. Yeah, it's okay. Nobody said he was killing dragons. Your dragon just crawled up under my neck.
Paul: He did?
MIchelle: Yeah. He was like, "Oh, that's scary."
Paul: Oh my goodness, he's actually nuzzling.
MIchelle: Yeah, he does that.
Paul: Or is that a Squidge?
MIchelle: No.
Paul: A Squinch or a Squidge.
MIchelle: Yeah. I mean, can you, can you figure that? I mean, here in the United States, if you go to, um-
Paul: Well, look what happened with Ted Bundy, right? Yeah. Ted Bundy, he, uh, practiced several different facial, uh, positions-
MIchelle: Yeah ... or expressions. Most psychopaths do because they don't have emotions.
Paul: And each time they took a photograph of him in a different state, they had a har- they sort of, "Ah, n- no, that's not [00:19:00] him." You know? Yeah. That happened over, over the ... And it wasn't until in Florida, of course, that he, he ended up getting caught, uh, finally, again, for the last time. And, uh-
MIchelle: But you know he escaped even-
Paul: Yes
MIchelle: yeah, many times.
Paul: Yeah. It's odd how, how these, these- I don't, I don't wanna say people because they're more creatures than they are people inside. There's something else.
MIchelle: Mm-hmm.
Paul: That's, uh, was it one of our, our, our... The bodiless beings told us about s- something called death demons. Um, that, uh, there are some dark elements that will inspire and hammer at someone who's weak and or, or are given certain predilections and push them into performing these horrendous acts.
And, uh, for instance, uh, let me speak of Ted Bundy momentarily again. Uh, Ted Bundy, when he talked sometimes, uh, investigators talked about how his eyes went from blue to black. There was so much adrenaline pumping through him, his irises expanded to the size of, of his [00:20:00] whole, you know-
MIchelle: Yeah, his whole eyes
Paul: turned black
his whole eye, and they all, and they turned visibly black. Um, you know, the, that other k- uh, fellow, uh, uh, why can't I remember his name? Most
MIchelle: serial killers did that.
Paul: Anyway, they all had some type of adrenaline rush, super adrenaline rush at the time that they committed these things or if they recounted them afterwards.
MIchelle: Mm-hmm.
Paul: Yeah.
MIchelle: Yeah. So I wonder if he did this, if this Pedro guy did that.
Paul: Did, I, I- Locas. That's wha- they, they... We don't hear very much about it. It would be interesting if we could find some information one day.
MIchelle: Yeah, well,
Paul: yeah, it is interesting. If he had any type of side manifestation 'cause, you know.
MIchelle: Yeah, there are these, there is, um, this stuff.
Mm-hmm. A lot... I don't know. I can't... I have to look up what Ted Bundy's last words were. Oh, that reminds me of that horrible, um, uh, botched execution.
Paul: Oh, goodness.
MIchelle: Yeah. Yeah, they, um... The last rumor I heard is that she's brain dead, and that's why they have it- No,
Paul: she's up and walking around.
MIchelle: [00:21:00] Is she?
Paul: Yeah, she's talking.
MIchelle: Well, it doesn't mean she's not brain dead. Mm. I mean, some of the people I know seem to be brain dead, and they're up walking around.
Paul: We're gonna get emails, you know, people, "Who, who are you talking about?" Yeah. "Who on earth are you referring to?" So anyway, um, I guess we're gonna, we'll
MIchelle: s- Send fan mail. Yeah. Dragon, Dragon wants to know why he hasn't gotten any fan mail. That's
Paul: right. Please like and-
MIchelle: He's very, very, very sentimental ...
