- Some people can't even cook
dinner three or four times a week. Like, how'd you have time
to murder three to four people a week? - (narrator) Known
as the Mangrove Monster, Daniel Barbosa was born
to a rich family in the small town of Anolaima, Colombia.
On May 2nd, 1974, he saw a nine-year-old girl
walking to school. He then lured her
to a secluded area, raped her, and then
strangled her to death. 10 years into his sentence
in 1984, Barbosa saw a rowboat on a beach.
He jumped in and started rowing for the mainland.
- In a rowboat?! Boy! If you don't-- okay.
- (narrator) So went on killing until February 26, 1986.
During his arrest, he confessed to killing 72 girls in Ecuador.
- 72?! What?!
- And they thought he was dead that whole time,
so that's why it was kind of easy for him to do that.
That makes sense. - Oh my god.
- (narrator) He said the reason he chose children was because he wanted virgins
because they cried. For him, he wanted
to punish women's unfaithfulness. - That's terrible.
- (narrator) Before he could get out, Barbosa was stabbed
to death in prison... - Amazing.
- (narrator) ...in November of 1994 by Geovanny Noguera.
As it turns out, he was a nephew of one
of Barbosa's previous victims. - Wow! Oh my god!
He was a nephew of a victim? Dude, that's that
retribution type [censored]. - A former Russian police officer
has now become the worst serial killer in the country's history.
- (Nadira) The man in question is Mikhail Popkov.
He's nicknamed The Werewolf. He's 53 years old.
- The Werewolf. He looks like a vampire!
- (Nadira) And he raped almost all of his victims
before killing them. Their ages ranged between 17
and 38 years of age. In the region, one of...
- Russian. - (Nadira) Now, what he did
is he lured women into his car. He waited for them outside clubs,
restaurants, lots of other public places, and then he would
offer them a lift or fun in the woods,
and then he would rape and kill them with an ax,
a knife, a bat, or other hand... - "But I was a good husband."
That title says, "I may be one of Russia's worst serial killers,
but I was a good husband." Does he not consider himself
cheating on his wife when he's raping these people?
- (Nadira) ...weapons. He's a former policeman,
and he used his status... - And he was a policeman.
- (Nadira) ...offering those victims lifts and...
- They end up dying! Which is terrifying.
- (Nadira) ...to the remote areas that we talked about.
Now, the latest twist in this very disturbing man's tale...
- Wow. - (Nadira) ...is the fact
that it's come to light that, despite being convicted...
- 82. - (Nadira) ...back in January 2015
for the murder of 22 victims, an additional 60
have been brought to light. - ADDITIONAL 60!
- (whispers) That's so bad. - (Nadira) That means
that the police have-- would bring the total up
to 82 victims, making him the worst serial killer in Russia.
- Wow. (sarcastic) But he was
a good husband and dad, though, even though he was
raping and killing other women. Checks out.
- What a loser. - Wonder if he like
remembers all of his victims, because I know there's that trope
of killers keeping trinkets from each of their kills.
And I'm like, I don't even think it's a trophy.
I think it's to remember. - Pedro Alonso Lopez,
AKA the Monster of the Andes was born on 8th of October in 1948.
It is believed that Lopez started killing young girls
in the 1970s. His victims were usually
of poor backgrounds. He made his way to Peru,
where he would lure his victims to remote areas,
committing rape and murder. By the late '70s,
he had made his way to Ecuador, where dozens of girls
began to go missing as well. - I hate seeing their pictures.
- (narrator) Lopez killed on a regular basis, slaying two,
sometimes three girls every week, every month.
- Every week?! Every. Week.
- (narrator) Over the three-year-long murder rampage,
Lopez was proud of his actions. He told Ron Laytner,
the Canadian interviewer, "I'm the man of the century.
No one will ever forget me." - Look at this [censored]!
I don't curse on these channels, but I will today. Dude,
this guy's the biggest [censored]. - It was funny,
'cause in the beginning, I was like, "Oh,
he looks kind of sad," but he's so proud of himself.
- (narrator) Lopez was eventually captured as he tried to snatch
another young girl in 1980. Luckily for her,
the 10-year-old's mother saw Lopez walking away
hand-in-hand with her daughter Maria. And then, she started screaming.
Lopez then took police to the graves of 53 of his victims.
Two months later in 1980, he pleaded guilty...
- Ugh! My god.
- (narrator) ...to 110 charges of murders.
- Wipe that smile off your face, you GARBAGE human being.
- Imagine being like the mother or father of your kid,
and you look at this guy in court, and you're seeing him
just have this grin on his face. - (narrator) ...110 charges...
He's smitten with himself. - (narrator) Police said the killer could have been charged
with a total of 350 murders of missing girls.
- Oh my god. - (narrator) But additional trials
in Colombia and Peru would have been too complex and costly.
- Are you serious? - (narrator) Because of Ecuador's laws
at the time, Lopez only received the maximum sentence of 16 years.
- Jesus. - Wha--
(headphones clatter) this man, this SCUM, took the lives of over 300 people,
and you gave him a sentence that was no older
than the people he raped and killed. - (narrator) Pedro Lopez
has been a free man for at least 20 years now,
and no one knows where he is or whether he's still alive.
- Oh my god! What?! - He could be killing right now.
That's so dumb! - (narrator) On December 1999,
the local Lahore newspaper received a disturbing letter.
"I have killed and raped over 100 young boys..."
- Ah! - (narrator) "...between the age
of six to sixteen." - What?!
- (narrator) "My victims consist of orphans and runaway children
who lurks at the streets of Lahore..."
- Wow. - (narrator) "...where I would
bring them home, so I could rape them and strangle them to death.
After murdering them, I would dismember their bodies
and immerse them in vats of hydrochloric acid
and would then dump their bodies at a nearby river."
The killer was none other than Javed Iqbal.
He said the purpose of the letter he gave to the authorities
was so that it would make them aware of how much the children
in the streets were neglected. He promised himself...
- What?! - (narrator) ...that once
he's released that he would get back to the authorities
by killing exactly 100 children. - So, he thought he was doing
like a social service? - (narrator) Not more, not less.
Iqbal was sentenced to death, where he would be executed
by strangulation in public at the place where he would always
find his victims. This punishment is called qisas,
the Sharia legal concept of punishment where the criminal is punished
in the same way they tortured or murdered their victims.
- That's good. I feel like that's fitting.
- Low-key, that's fire. I mean, I'm kind of
down with that. - (narrator) On
October 8, 2001, Iqbal... - Cowards.
- (narrator) ...and his accomplice, Sajid Ahmad, were found dead
in their cell as they hung themselves using their bed sheets.
- I hate when they do that. It's like, you're such a coward.
- That's pretty stupid. That's not even symbolic or anything.
It's just dumb. It's petty. It's petty 'cause you're bad. - (narrator) In the late '60s,
a civil war took place in Colombia, which would last for decades.
In fact, we can still see the impact this war had
on the Colombians' lives. Thousands of Colombians,
including children, were left homeless and driven
to live in the dangerous streets teeming with crime.
These children had no parents or relatives to take care of them,
and they were the perfect targets for someone with twisted desires,
such as Luis Garavito, world's deadliest serial killer,
who was nicknamed The Beast due to the terrible nature
of his crimes. One would think that being subject
to such a terrible childhood, Garavito would never wish
the same thing to happen to his enemy.
However, he did the exact opposite. - That's always the case
with these guys. They have a crappy childhood.
- (narrator) Garavito violated and murdered homeless boys
between the age of six and sixteen. He was called the beast
for a reason. His victims were tortured and raped
and their throats were slashed. Some of the victims
were also dismembered or decapitated.
He went on with his life of crime for seven years.
- Seven years! - (narrator) It was determined
that Garavito killed anywhere from 150 to 400 boys.
- Whoa. - (narrator) He was sentenced
to 1,853 years in prison. - Not enough.
- But because he cooperated with the police
and helped them find the victims' bodies,
his sentence was reduced to 22 years. And he is scheduled
to be released in 2021. According to his guards,
Garavito is a relaxed and respectful prisoner.
- No. - (narrator) In fact,
he is currently studying to be a politician...
- (gasps) - (narrator) ...and start a career
in activism to help abused children. - The best part is how nonchalant
the narrator sounds saying that as if it isn't the silliest thing
in the world. - He wants to help abused children?
Well, at least we'll know what the abuse was like
because the abuser is telling us about it.
- Probably unlikely. It shouldn't even
be a probability. This should be a 100%
keep his ass behind bars. - I don't understand
why there was a boat there. Like, all this is just, "Huh?"
- (React) I know. - What happened?
- Yeah, it's like, if you can dish it out,
you can take it. - This sounds like
some horror movie type [censored]. - There's always that thought
of like, "Oh, they've killed this many more,"
or "We think they've killed this many more,"
or did they remember even how many they killed?
