Welcome to PIC True Crime Podcast with your hosts Heather, Mike, and Bree! In this chilling two-part series, we dive into the horrifying story of the Matamoros Cult, a dark chapter in Mexico's history led by the enigmatic and ruthless Adolfo Costanzo, known as "El Padrino."
In Part One, we explore Adolfo’s twisted journey from a chaotic childhood steeped in Santeria and Palo Mayombe to his rise as a feared cult leader who captivated drug lords, politicians, and followers alike with his dark rituals and chilling charm. Growing up under the influence of black magic, Adolfo’s life was surrounded by death, animal sacrifices, and brutal practices that blurred the line between reality and the supernatural.
But this was only the beginning. From grisly animal rituals to grave robberies and more, his cult's dark practices took a sinister turn that would soon lead to unimaginable acts of violence. This episode contains graphic content, including discussions of animal cruelty, human sacrifice, and occult practices. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
Tune in to hear the terrifying tale of how one man’s twisted beliefs captivated and corrupted the minds of his followers, leading to one of the most gruesome cults in history. Subscribe now so you won’t miss the shocking conclusion in Part Two.
