Welcome back to PIC True Crime Podcast with Heather, Mike, and Bree! In this intense second chapter of our Matamoros Cult series, we delve deeper into the chilling life of Adolfo Costanzo—“El Padrino”—and the Narco-Satanists. When we left off, Adolfo had amassed power, followers, and wealth, using both dark magic and ruthless violence to grow his empire in Mexico’s Matamoros underworld.
In Part Two, we witness how Costanzo’s sinister influence expanded with his growing cult, solidified through his manipulation of criminal networks, terrifying sacrifices, and partnerships with corrupt officials. With his trusted follower-turned-accomplice Sara Villareal, "La Madrina," by his side, Adolfo’s killings escalated from disturbing to utterly depraved, sacrificing rivals and innocent victims alike.
Adolfo’s rise reveals a horrifying blend of calculated cruelty and supernatural phenomena that left even his closest followers in fear. But as his appetite for control grew, so did his willingness to push the limits of human suffering—a relentless path that would ultimately seal his fate.
Trigger Warning: This episode covers intense themes including ritualistic human sacrifice, extreme violence, and occult practices. Listener discretion is advised.
Prepare yourself for a truly disturbing journey into one of the most twisted crime cults in history, as we uncover the horror and brutality of the Matamoros Cult.
