A Note From The Author
Introduction
Considering that one of the most diabolical of all executioner calling cards is the
Colombian necktie – a post-mortem mutilation in which the victim’s throat is
sliced open so his or her tongue can be pulled through as if it were a tie – it
should come as no surprise that the world’s top three most prolific serial killers
come from the nation best known for this demented mutilation.
The three men who have set records for their kills each targeted children, using
various tricks to lure them away from safety, including candy, money, and
various disguises.
And while it is unfathomable that together these three men are believed to be
responsible for the deaths of more than 500 children, what is even more
impossible to believe is that the punishments in no way fit their crimes.
None received life sentences – in Colombia, prison terms at the time were
limited to 40 years - and together, the meager punishments doled out to them
equaled less than 100 years.
Each took advantage of the region’s poverty and political unrest to prey upon the
most vulnerable members of the South American population, collecting children
like some people collect Star Wars memorabilia.
“Colombia is a country with a long history of violence,” said Marc Chernick, a
professor of Latin American Studies at Georgetown University.
It’s also a country that boasts the dubious honor of being the home of three of
the world’s most notorious serial killers – Luis Garavito, Daniel Camargo
Barbosa and Pedro Lopez.
