EPISODE 103-LA BESTIA THE MAKING OF A MONSTER THE BEAST
Episode Description: The Beast in Disguise – The Luis Garavito Story
Luis Garavito, known as “La Bestia” (“The Beast”), is one of history’s most prolific and horrifying serial killers. In this episode, we delve deep into the making of a monster: from Garavito’s abusive childhood in Colombia, marked by poverty and repeated sexual violence, to his calculated reign of terror that left nearly 200 children dead. We explore how Garavito manipulated his way into the trust of vulnerable boys using disguises, how systemic failures in Colombia allowed him to evade capture for years, and how his eventual arrest forced a nation to confront its darkest truths.
We also examine the aftermath: the outrage over his sentencing, the sweeping legal reforms that followed, and the lasting impact on Colombia’s justice system and social policies. Listener discretion is strongly advised due to graphic content.
