On the plate tonight is Luis Alfredo Garavito, infamously known as "La Bestia" - The Beast, is one of the most prolific serial killers in modern history. Born in 1957 in Colombia, Garavito confessed to the brutal rape, torture, and murder of 138 young boys throughout the 1990s, although authorities believe the real number could be over 300. He targeted vulnerable children, often from poor or homeless backgrounds, luring them with gifts or promises of work. His crimes spanned across Colombia and were marked by extreme violence.
