Pedro López - The Monster of the Andes Colombia Ecuador and Peru
This murderer confessed to having raped and killed more than 300 girls. His blood route went through the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Always he killed victims day because I loved the "divine moment" watching "how the light was fading from his eyes."
Pedro López was born in 1948 in Santa Isabel, in the Colombian department of Tolima. His father, Megdardo (or MedArgo) Reyes was a member of the Conservative Party of Colombia: He died the victim of a bullet crossing occurred amid civil war [1]
of the time, just six months before the birth of Pedro Alonso. Thus, Peter happened to be born without a father and as the seventh of 13 children, in the midst of a home marked by poverty.
A few months later Peter was taken to the town of El Espinal. There,
according to Peter, his mother Belinda Lopez Castaneda worked as a
prostitute at home and their children, who all slept in a big bed (small
for so many people) whose bedroom was separated by a small curtain, saw
and / or heard the obscene interactions his mother with customers.
Years later, trying to
justify both their infamies, Pedro would say that his mother was a
domineering woman, abusive and tyrant, a woman who, after being caught
by palpating the breasts of a younger sister in the middle of an attempt
to have sex with her, expelled of the house and even when Pedro
returned the next day, she took care of him into a bus and leave about
200 miles from home.

is however very
different version of Dona Belinda, who said he was a loving mother and
even said, recalling with some affection, Pedro Alonso wanted to be a
teacher when I was a kid. He added that he found it never touching the breasts of his sister and he never disowned her. In
relation to that, Biography Channel documentary -in which the mother of
Peter declares all of the above-said that Peter actually escaped and
that his mother believed he had been kidnapped, wept inconsolably at
which then spoke with an alleged witness who said she saw Peter going to
Cali with a man.
In any case,
Pedro finished in the dangerous streets of Colombia, a country which at
that time had a rate much higher than any other country crime; and Peter, with only eight years, would prove self ...
.
The root of evil
One day, when Peter was in the streets, a kindly older man approached him to offer him food and a place to live. Faced with such an attitude of generosity and compassion apparent, the naive boy accepted and went with the stranger. Then,
instead of feeding, the man took him to an abandoned building and
sodomized not once but many times, after which he left abandoned on the
street ...
Years later, Peter said he had become what was the impact that caused him to see his mother prostituting and, even more, the violation of which he was victim to his eight years: "I lost my innocence at the age of eight years, so I decided to do the same as many young girls as I could. "
.
A temporary rescue
After her ordeal Pedro became fearful and distrustful of strangers. It was this Pedro traumatized in the middle of the streets learned the language of violence ...
Back to the streets
At 9 years (up a little older) Peter was picked up from the street for a couple of older Americans. With
them had education, food and good treatment, until the 12 years, a
school teacher molested him and Peter, without notice, returned to his
life on the streets ...
Pedro seemed destined for bad life for those three years ended abruptly when one day a teacher raped him.
Normal would have been Peter complains or, as in many similar cases, street by fear and hold the position until it passes. However
the case was that this violation sparked anger throughout his short
Pedro was carrying twelve years, so it was impulsively took (stole)
money from a school office and left never to return.
Six were the years that Peter survived on the streets after giving up his life with the American couple. For a while he looked for work but never got anything due to no work experience and little formal education. Then
he began to live shoplifting, suffering frequent arrests of police, in
which he was always released (being minor and the low gravity of their
crimes) but never without first receiving a beating ...
Already an older teenager
(almost an adult), Pedro managed to become a very able car thief, so
skillful that even became admired for novices in the field, well paid
and highly sought after by those who controlled the business.
Despite that his ability
was not enough to avoid arrest in 1969, when he was 21 years old and it
could be sent directly to prison, where in effect was to stop after
being sentenced to seven years in prison ...
.
Discovering the pleasure of killing
They did not pass but two days when the ghost of the past came back to haunt Pedro. So
without apparent reason, two older inmates grabbed him, subjected him
and made him so angry that previously had caused him rape him ...
This time Peter knew he could take revenge since he was no longer a child of 8 or 12 years. He decided to go for a knife from the prison and cut their throats her rapists.
The punishment for such revenge was two additional years in prison, since the act was considered a murder in self-defense.
In 1969, at 21, Peter was sent to prison for auto theft. There was raped by two prisoners but retaliated by cutting the neck. Were
the first murders and thanks to them discovered the pleasure and the
feeling of power that gave her murder, thus taking the step to join
after the murder to rape. We see up smoking a few years later: beardless, with a similar aspect which must have had in 1969.
A level of criminal
evolution these murders, in the opinion of some experts, made him
realize the great pleasure at killing, so if before that he was a
pedophile rapist power, after that he had given psychological step in
the near future, adding the pleasure of murdering the pleasure of
violating.
During the time
he spent in prison, hatred of Peter to his mother joined their
consumption of pornography to strengthen it harmful image I had of the
opposite sex: one for a pejorative, dehumanizing and strongly marked
vision image for process of objectification of women.
Finally, in spite of the sentence that had been handed to him, he was released in 1971 [2] at 23 years.
.
The Monster of the Andes
After his release, Pedro Alonso traveled to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. precise
route is not known with certainty, but the truth is that his victims
were girls between 8 and 13 years old, poor and almost always of
indigenous breed, which usually focuses on the elevations of a mountain
range that crosses the three countries where the bloodthirsty murderer
watered innocent blood: the Andes.
.
The punishment of ayacuchos
It was after his release
at age 23 when, at the start of his bloody route, Pedro Alonso toured
almost all Peru leaving behind 100 dead girls.
In the early seventies, Peter toured the Peru killing and raping more than 100 girls. However, in the north of the country he was captured by Indians ayacuchos while trying to abduct a child. The Indians tortured for hours and then buried up to his neck in sand, covering his head honey to be eaten by ants. He was going to die, but a missionary appeared and convinced the mob that they should give it to the police ...
However, at the end
of this criminal odyssey, Pedro received a briefing by the ayacuchos
Indians when, in northern Peru (the exact location is not known), was
caught by a group of them in an attempt to take a 9 year old girl to
abuse it. Then and after realizing they had given the
monster behind many girls missing in the area, they tied him up and
tortured him for hours (making things like rub nettle) until finally
they decided to give a slow and terrible death that pitifully he was saved. Lopez has about it : "The Indians in Peru had me tied up and buried in the sand up to his neck when they heard what he had been doing to their daughters. I
had covered with honey and I would leave to be devoured by ants, but an
American missionary lady came in his jeep and promised to deliver me to
the police. I was left bound in the back of his jeep and drove away, but she gave me on the border of Colombia and let me go. I did not hurt because she was too old to lure me " .
It is almost certain that
the previous version is false if we consider that psychiatric
examinations determined that Pedro Alonso made use of lies and
especially if we consider that the most serious sources
(such as documentary Biography Channel and article truTV ) say the
missionary, after convincing the Indians that the murder was wicked in
the eyes of God, really did put the criminal in the hands of the authorities, which subsequently as a result of in his usual negligence Police Peru refused to invest the effort and money needed in research, Peter was deported [3] to neighboring Ecuador ...
.
Portrait of "the worst scoundrels" [4]
Peter
(above) was an organized murderer who followed his victims for days and
always aware of the police disregard for disadvantaged girls tried to
choose low income ...
As stated earlier, Pedro lurked poor girls, mostly indigenous race. He
never killed white girls, because in countries like he was, the white
race is the least economically disadvantaged ethnic group [5] , while blacks and Indians are most affected by poverty. Thus, Pedro Alonso was a prudent murderer trying not to elect
those victims whose parents could have enough money to make the police
always something indolent to the fate of the poor, take action on the
matter. Following this same attitude of prudence, Pedro
Alonso was able to continue for several days to a girl until the time
when she was alone, at which time doing things like giving gifts and ask
him to go outside was given, where supposedly would give another gift to take your mother; also sometimes it presented as a street vendor or a person helpless and lost. In addition, Pedro Alonso could stop following a girl (usually follow them for hours if necessary) if he saw the girl went home or went to an area that already is not feasible to try to take her. For these and other aspects that made sure his victims were dead by checking your breathing or cutting their wrists
to see if the blood still pumping, criminologists have never hesitated
to say that Pedro Alonso was an organized murderer [6] . Thus, even the most desirable resigned victims: "I often followed families of tourists with the desire to take me to her beautiful blond daughters. But I never had the chance. His parents watched too "
Peter said that "walked through the streets looking for a girl with a certain look on his face, an appearance of innocence and beauty" . He chose girls because they symbolized the innocence that had lost a child to be violated and so twisted, wanted to avenge doing the same to other innocent beings like girls upstairs, which were among the hundreds who raped and killed ...
With respect to its trend pedophile Peter (above) said cynically: "It's like eating chicken. Why eat chicken age when you can have the young chicken? "
An important feature of Pedro Alonso was his taste for innocence. And said " I walked down the streets looking for a girl with a certain
look on his face, an appearance of innocence and beauty" and admitted
that because of his innocence, Girls Ecuador liked particularly: " To me I like them the Ecuador girls are more docile, more trusting and innocent, are not as Colombian girls are suspicious of strangers " . If we ask then why Peter killed girls, we must, as noted by the experts, they were a symbol of innocence that he lost childhood innocence fantasized snatch (partly to "get even" [7] ) . However
it should be clear that, associated with this quest to destroy
innocence, is the main purpose of the murderer, aim is not revenge but
as from a fixation of sexual desire in the figure of the child [8]
as a result sexual traumas of the past, is the pursuit of pleasure, so criminologists have labeled Lopez as a hedonistic murderer. With respect to its trend pedophile Peter said: "It's like eating chicken. Why eat chicken age when you can have the young chicken? " . Also, behold , the appearance is evidenced most sinister of this murderer, coupled with the pederast desire was an attitude of attraction and veneration for death: "I wanted to touch the deepest pleasure and deepest sexual arousal, before his life it wither away ".
Pedro the girl was taken to a secluded place there forced her to
have sex with him (above an illustration of that) and kept fully alive
until dawn, at which time drove her to rape while strangling looking
into her eyes to see how life was extinguished in the eyes of the
victim: "I wanted to touch the deepest pleasure and deeper, before his life will wither sexual arousal , " said Peter.
It would however risky the necrophiliac I label it in the conventional sense [9] , since I never had sex with corpses. Of
course it despite itself above which there was a certain erotic drive
toward death while it was just prior to the death of the victim moments
when the murderer sought the maximum orgasm. But he went further. Thus, his pleasure in this aspect was mainly in the infliction and contemplate the extinction of life. You
can then without doubt, adjudicársele the Monster of the Andes
possession of "necrophiliac character" who spoke the famous
psychoanalyst Erich Fromm: <<
Necrophilia in characterological sense can be described as passionate
attraction for all the dead, corrupted, putrid, sickly; It
is the passion to transform the living into something not alive, destroy
destroy, and exclusive interest in all purely mechanical. Wrecking passion is living structures >>
"There was a divine moment when I put my hands around the neck of girls and watched how it was turning off the light in her eyes. Only those who kill know what I mean " (Pedro López)
We see that "passion to
transform the living into something not alive" as underlined in the
following statements of Pedro López: "At the first sign of dawn excited me. He forced the girl to have sex with me and put my hands around her throat. When the sun rose the strangling. [...] It was only good if he could see his eyes. I never killed anyone at night. It would have been a waste in the dark, had to see them in daylight [...]. There was a divine moment when I put my hands around the neck of girls and watched how it was turning off the light in her eyes . Only those who kill know what I mean " .
He tied his psychopathic character is how Pedro Alonso depersonalized and to some extent cosificaba their victims. This
is seen in how he talked and played with the bodies of girls, girls for
him were not individualized persons with a man and a history of its own. They were simply "their dolls" (as they were called cynically), on which he once said: "My little friends liked to have company. I used to put
three or four girls in a hole and talk (...) It was like a party, but
after a while, as they could not move I was bored and was looking for new girls. "
Of those mass graves Pedro
Alonso did for his "little dolls", he said they were his "historic
places" and, in that sense, expressed the "symbolic trophy" that Lopez
represented the knowledge of where their victims were and perception
(enhanced by the accumulation of corpses) of the enormous (and therefore
important) that it was his criminal work, is that unlike other
murderers, he did not keep objects of the victims or wrote down their
names or even the number they correspond to the list of killings.
Pedro played and spoke with the bodies: "My little friends liked to have company. I used to put
three or four girls in a hole and talk (...) It was like a party, but
after a while, as they could not move I was bored and was looking for new girls " . He said they were his "little dolls". Above we see remains of their "little dolls" found by researchers ...
Psychological evaluations
to be made after his capture, revealed that Lopez was a "sociopath" who
suffered for "antisocial personality disorder" was someone "not aware"
or "empathy" and showed considerable skill manipulate and deceive others
by his speech, by words.
Psychological
evaluations revealed that Lopez was a "sociopath" with "antisocial
personality disorder" someone without "empathy" and with great ability
to manipulate and deceive. According to Lopez (above), he
killed the girls to rid them of poverty and suffering in this world and
dying to go straight to heaven ...
Sample this manipulative and deceitful seen in the fact that while on the one hand claimed that their purpose was to kill these poor girls to rid them of poverty and make go directly to heaven, on the other
hand he was in other times, as a subject who fear death because they
think it would be nothing more than a "no darkness" and a forgetting
all, the fact that he did not think that would be a heaven and thus was
lying still so evident when he said he killed in order to free girls
from poverty and make go to heaven. Note because its true conception and attitude towards death: 1) "When you die because, for a total
loses one what feelings, visibility eyes to see and a death that one no
longer returns or heard who is one, all is well in a dark void " . This was said when interviewed a television station in Ecuador. 2) "I'm too young to die, man" . This he told a reporter (who not shown), with the face of intense concern, Biography Channel documentary.
.
Captured in Ambato
Pedro López, for a while,
like he raping and killing "docile", "confident" and "innocent" girls of
Ecuador, but in Ambato, especially following the murder of the daughter
of a merchant who was not lower class despite being of Indian race, the
authorities began to take seriously the disappearance of which he was
author López.
In
April 1980, when Pedro tried to kidnap a girl in a market Ambato, was
arrested by traders and buyers after they occassionally the desperate
they cry mother gave to catch the captor of her daughter. After that came the police and Peter was taken to the police station.
In the beginning believed
that it was missing girls due to the increase in trade in minors for
sexual slavery (the "White Slave Traffic"), however in April 1980 a
flood discovered one of the graves of Peter and, before the remains of
four girls, the police knew were dealing with a serial murderer and
began to investigate, but never achieved anything and the murderer was
an oversight that ended causing him to fall ...
So, just days after the flood, Carvina Poveda had shopped the market with her daughter Marie 12 years. Pedro Alonso, who had seen the child, did not hold back as usual and tried to kidnap her in the market. Carvina
then cried for help and traders quickly and some people ran after the
murderer, who had gotten out of the market but was not fast enough to
avoid being caught by the angry mob.
.
Confessions and rise to fame
When the police arrived they met with an individual who rambled incoherently [10] and after a trailer and take it down at the police station before thought they were crazy.
At the police station Pedro kept silence when questioned. At
that, the captain Córdoba (above) act as an undercover agent posing as a
priest and became a friend of Peter, which got it confessed to have
killed more than 300 girls in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia.
There, in the main office
of the police station, Peter adopted an attitude of silence before all
the questions asked during the interrogation. Faced with
this situation the police had to be clever and careful, because for that
moment Peter was only suspected of having murdered and, if they wanted
that condition of guilty which were almost certain is confirmed, should
make drop everything and that end bullying was not ideal.
It was in the midst of
this problem that the figure of Captain Córdoba, who acted as an
undercover agent and passed by Father Córdoba Gudino emerged. With
great skill, the police managed to befriend the murderer and get his
confidence and with it the confessions of their heinous crimes. Now
finally they knew they had a serial murderer who confessed killing at
least 110 girls in Ecuador, 100 in Colombia and "many more than 100" in
Peru.
But ... what if, as had been given to other murderers, Peter was lying to get prominence? Under this question the researchers were skeptical, until Peter offered to lead a police convoy to the places where they slept
the bones of their "little dolls" ... In the first place I showed them
were 53 bodies of girls whose ages were between eight to twelve; there,
in the 28 new sites, new bodies were found and the total was more than
57. Despite not find the other bodies should be to endorse the
confessions of Pedro, some researchers suggested that certain animals
should spread the remains and that the floods had "washed" in the field. Faced
with the findings Victor Lascano, director of affairs of the prison, he
did not doubt the confessions of the murderer and told a reporter: "If someone author of hundreds of murders confesses and found more than 57 bodies, we must believe what he says [...]. I think your estimate of 300 is very low "
.
An insignificant sentence
It was clear that Pedro
López was a murderer in series worth spending the Hall of Fame where
they were monsters like Garavito, Gilles de Rais, Gary Ridgway,
Chikatilo and others. Despite that the maximum sentence
applicable in Ecuador was 16 years in prison, which was assigned as
punishment in 1981, when Pedro Alonso had 33 years.
In
1981 condemned Peter to the maximum penalty was in Ecuador at the time:
16 ... The first two were spent in prison Ambato, the other 12 (out
early for good behavior) in the Penal Garcia Moreno, in the Pavilion B
(above), where he spent his days writing in her diary, smoking crack
cocaine (cocaine base drug) and recording coins with the face of Christ
on one side and the Devil on the other ...
Initially the place was
assigned to him Ambato prison, where he spent two years after which he
was transferred to the Penal Garcia Moreno. There he assigned him to the Pavilion B, designed for rapists and murderers.
In Hall B, Pedro Alonso
spent his days in solitary: smoking crack cocaine (cheap drug made from
cocaine residue), writing in a journal and recording coins with the face
of Jesus on one side and the devil on the other .
.
From sanatorium to freedom
The Monster of the Andes only met 14 of the 16 years because of good behavior. The day he left was beside himself with happiness: screaming, jumping up thanking God ...
Pedro Alonso, thanking God after his release in 1994
There was great popular indignation after the release of Peter and many relatives of the victims protested. "In this country think that only the rich have access to the Police, Justice" said Sister (top left) of a victim and father (above, right) of the same victim told police: "they are against one" .
As a counterpart
the Ecuadorian people were outraged, while there were even
demonstrations and the president to change the maximum penalty was
required [11] . Fortunately there was a quick, conscious and ingenious answer: just an hour after their release, it stopped being a foreigner
and not have "proper documentation" for which deported him to Colombia,
where he was convicted of killing two girls in 1979.
An hour after his release, Pedro (top back) was deported to Colombia for not having their documents "in order". There he was declared insane and interned in a sanatorium, which he left in 1998 after being declared "sane" ...
In Colombia he was
declared insane and in 1995, rather than put him in jail, he was
interned in a sanatorium, which was ignominiously released in 1998 when,
after convicting healthy, he was released on bail of $ 50 and provided
you follow receiving psychiatric treatment and each month report to the
judiciary.
As expected, Pedro López the judiciary is never reported. Instead,
Peter traveled to Espinal to meet an old acquaintance to whom he had
blamed for "all the pain" from his "heart": his mother, Mrs. Benilda
Lopez Castaneda woman who had long ago begged not to loose because I
could go and kill her.
But Lopez was relatively compassionate and did not touch a single hair of the elderly. Instead of killing her, seeing her said, "Mother, I'll kneel down to give him a blessing." But
that was only the beginning because, although it did not show a violent
attitude, Lopez had really gone to settle accounts, and the way to do
this was to require his mother to sell the bed and a chair to give money
...
A
Lopez he had been released from hospital in 1998 with the condition
that their continued psychiatric treatment and report each month in
court. Lopez never met and went to Espinal to visit his mother (above). Instead
of killing her as she believed, blessed and only reckoning he did was
demand to sell the bed and a chair to give money that he used to go and
never appear ...
With that money Lopez left
and not heard from him until, in October 2002, Colombia issued to
Interpol an order of arrest for suspected it was Pedro López who was
behind a recent murder in El Espinal . 
in
any case you have not heard anything Monster of the Andes, but most
likely still alive, which his mother is absolutely safe because, he
told, if someone close to her has died, his spirit has "revealed"
something that has not happened with Peter. And, before leaving him free in 1998, Colombian authorities must take into account these words of his: "The moment of death is enthralling and exciting. Someday, when released, I will feel that moment again. I'll be happy to kill again. It is my mission. "
