Pedro Lopez

In the shadow of the towering Andes, a monster hunted the innocent—and a world looked away. Between the 1960s and 1980s, Pedro López, infamously dubbed The Monster of the Andes, terrorized Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. His victims were the forgotten girls of the mountains—children lost to poverty, neglect, and a society too broken to protect them. Through meticulous research and chilling firsthand accounts, Johann Bachmann unravels the horrifying crimes and the systemic failures that let López roam free for more than a decade. Pedro López: True Crime Serial Killers is more than a recounting of violence—it's a forensic exploration of evil, silence, and survival. From the tireless detective who pursued justice across borders to the mothers who refused to stop searching for their daughters, this book exposes how corruption, indifference, and fear allowed one of history's most prolific killers to thrive. Yet within its darkness shines the courage of survivors and the unyielding fight for truth. Haunting, investigative, and deeply human, Pedro López: True Crime Serial Killers is a true-crime journey into the heart of the Andes and the mind of a predator who hid among its peaks—and the ordinary heroes who dared to confront him.
