Pedro López: The Monster of the Andes – 300 Victims and a Vanishing Killer

In this bone-chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale tells the haunting true story of Pedro López — one of the most prolific and terrifying serial killers in recorded history. Nicknamed The Monster of the Andes, López claimed to have murdered over 300 young girls across Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru during the 1970s and early 1980s. But what makes his case even more horrifying isn’t just the staggering death toll — it’s what happened after. With masterful storytelling and disturbing detail, Damien Vale guides listeners through López’s nightmarish childhood, his horrific spree of abductions and murders, his shocking prison sentence… and the baffling moment when he was quietly released — free to disappear into the shadows. This isn’t just a true crime story.
It’s a failure of justice.
A tale of monstrous evil… that walked away.
