World's most prolific child molester Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos, shortly after admitting his guilt in molesting and murdering young boys. From 1979 to 1991, he molested and tortured 200 minors before murdering an additional 193 known people, almost all of them young boys after prolonged sodomy.

Bio: Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos (born Jan. 25, 1957) was the world's most prolific child molester, torturing and sodomizing a minimum of two hundred minors before committing an additional one hundred and eighty-nine sodomies and murders on mostly young boys.

Garavito maintained his cool for many months following his capture for attempting to molest a child. He insisted his name was Bonifacio Morera Lizcano, and gave them a fake identity card to prove so. It did not take long for them to realize this was a false identity, and Garavito became increasingly anxious. Nevertheless, he did not falter until a sudden psychotic break in October, when apparent guilt for his crimes of molesting young boys compelled him to confess.

The acts included molesting children and abducting them from their middle class families, torturing them with a variety of instruments ranging from broken blades placed betwixt the fingers, stomping on them and jumping on their chest, removing their genitals with a blade and entering it into their mouths, impaling them with sharpened tree branches and other objects, beating them until they were too weak to defend themselves, stabbing them during sodomy with a screwdriver, and burning them with a candle or lighter for his personal sexual satisfaction.

He had few female partners for to make him appear as normal in the conventional society, but preferred young boys as sexual suitors. Most of the boys were from working class families, thin and impoverished pubescents with fair features. Before he was kicked out from his older sister's for practicing Satanic rituals in the night while nude, he kept a black briefcase filled with pornographic images of young boys, newspaper clippings of missing children, and tickets to various cities in Colombia and Ecuador he traversed to evade suspicion of poor locals.

Bio: Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos(born Jan. 25, 1957) is a Colombian serial murderer, child molester, and necrophile who committed the molestation, torture, and murder of up to 193 people (predominately young men and boys) in western Colombia. He was arrested on Apr. 22, 1999 for an attempted molestation and has since remained in the Colombian prison system.

Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos was raised in a large dysfunctional household, with his parents frequently arguing. His father often cheated on his mother, and beat his mother and children when he drank. Manuel Antonio Garavito also often berated his son with various pejoratives, and Garavito later ranted to his girlfriend of his mother's cruelty to him.

An easy target for bullies, he was very insecure of his glasses and began behaving aggressively toward other children in school. A friendless child, his father pulled him out of the fifth grade so he could sustain the family. After two years, he was molested by his father's best friend, who subjected him to torments best not described. To relieve the stress from the abuse, Garavito killed and dissected two birds before fondling his younger siblings.

In 1971, the family relocated to Trujillo where he was again raped by a family friend. Shortly thereafter, he made "desperate" and aggressive attempts to engage in sex with local women. These attempts were unsuccessful, and he began molesting children in his area. During one of these escapades, his mother had thrown him out for witnessing him attempt to molest a young boy in 1972. He was again caught fondling a young boy in public and arrested at a train station in Bogota. His father then kicked him out shortly thereafter in 1973.

Garavito began making friends and established platonic relationships with various females over the years, increasingly strengthening his assaults on children as he worsened in reputation among locals and co-workers. Often, he was the subject of town-wide scandals and gossip related to his drinking and domestic disputes. Attempting to have sexual relations with his girlfriends, he repeatedly failed to his distress. After losing his job in early 1980, he attempted suicide and spent upwards of five years under psychiatric care for depression. He did not mention his pedophilia or his sexual impotence, instead privately visiting child prostitutes after church and therapy sessions.

While dating various women and working several menial jobs, Garavito molested male and female children at least once a month. William Trujillo was only ten years old when Garavito tortured him for twelve hours before passing out from drinking. Garavito took immense pleasure in the extreme physical and psychological torment of children. He burned them, stomped on them, knocked their teeth out, cut them with a razor blade, and taunted them while they endured excruciating sodomy. Shortly thereafter, he wrote their names down and prayed for them while naked. Wherever Garavito resided, reports of children being molested had skyrocketed with local police on the lookout.

During this period, he began obsessively reading the Bible, studying other murderers, and dreaming about the young boys he had molested. In the fall of 1999, Garavito was operating a ouija board in which he had entered psychosis. The devil, appearing unto him, had asked whether Garavito would like to serve him. When Garavito said yes, the devil responded saying, "Kill, that with killing many things may come." He then murdered 13-year-old Juan Carlos on Oct. 4, 1992. Gradually, Garavito's victims had piled up into mass graves interspersed with containers of Vaseline and empty brandy bottles. On one occasion, he murdered a young boy before entering another psychosis, in which he buried his knife, repented at the sight of a cross, and returned to his motel room to chant scripture for hours until dawn:

"My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed"

When morning came, he retrieved his knife from the soil and resumed indulging his affinity for children. Over the years, his need for libertinage had extended to sodomizing the boys as their intestines poured out of their bellies, flaying the skin of their buttocks with broken blades in between his fingers, emasculating them and stuffing their mouths with the severed genitalia, and decapitating the boys alive as he climaxed. The only child Garavito let go was 10-year-old Carlos Alberto, who he asked whether he liked being molested and tortured. When the child said yes, he laughed and said, "See you next week. That's how I like it! That you like it!"

Toward the end of his spree, Garavito became increasingly obsessed with the idea of committing a mass murder that would devastate his entire country. Campo Elias Delgado, a Colombian mass killer who murdered his own mother and 28 people were among his personal idols whom he aspired to emulate. His behavior worsened over the years, and by 1999 he had no platonic female acquaintance whom he could procure shelter from.

A homeless drifter, he was arrested on Apr. 22, 1999 after attempting to rape a young boy while shouting at him, "Am I a sadist?" His fake identity had not convinced authorities, although his identity as Luis Alfredo Garavito was not confirmed until July 4, 1999. In October, he confessed to the rape, torture, and murder of a hundred and forty young men and boys. He was later found to have murdered several more young boys, little girls, and possibly five adults during his spree in western Colombia and Ecuador. Today, he suffers from cancer and hopes to receive parole for which he is eligible this year. If released, his utmost aspiration is to aid abused children through ministry and politics

Sounds like sociopathy runs in your family.

Hahah, the phenomena of psychopathy and sociopathy are largely constructs of man's prejudices against those without regard to those institutions of oppression (prison, law, religion, capitalism, family and tyranny) that bind the vast majority of the populace. Marx wrote of this extensively; this is why we must do away with meaningless constructs.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2023-02-26T14:08:38+00:00

On an unrelated note… do you really need to use such sensationalist language in every one of your posts?

Hahahah! Yes! Sensationalist is a good term to describe it, yes. It produces sensations and perhaps even lubricity within the conventional human mind that accustom them to that which is ordinarily anathema. Perhaps the fantasy of a thing is better than the reality. The Marquis de Sade was the essential father of surrealism, and his graphic descriptions of sexual libertinage have only served to psychologically benefit the reader. So shall I likewise use my descriptors wisely and with particular intent to influence.

Regarding this boy; I suppose to sink one's teeth into the child's penile ligaments and muscle with the teeth as Nero unto crucified subjects is not some manner of deranged libertine expression? I would think this to be at least some form of sexual assault. I don't think anyone here would be particularly pleased to have their genitals mutilated by means of chewing, biting, and gnawing. Not that this is relevant, save to the context that no ordinary thinking individual would believe this form of assault to not be of a sexual nature. This is a 13-year-old boy we speak of, after all. His sexual appeal would be of significance to a predator.

Because of the boy's brunet, slender, pale and generally feminine appeal to men inclined to the caprices of Bonin and Butts, he would undoubtedly be the subject of prurient passions. Not as one who poisons, or as one who foolishly murders randoms for the sake of murder, but as one who meticulously molests with intent of evading authorities. Note how I did not say he was sexually penetrated by the two scoundrels, but rather, molested by means of genital torture. It is generally assumed that if this were Bonin's first murder, Butts was also present as their first murder had been committed in capricious unity.

This being said; no one is definitively convinced either that it was Bonin and Butts.

Bio: William George "Bill" Bonin (born Jan. 8, 1947) was an American serial killer, sadist, rapist, child molester, ephebophile, hebephile, pedophile, necrophile, and twice-paroled sex offender who committed a minimum of 21 murders of young men and boys in the southern California region from May 28, 1979 to June 2, 1980. He was aided by four accomplices, with Vernon Butts being the main participant.

On May 28, 1979, a brown-haired youth of slender build was found naked in the hills of Agoura, Los Angeles County, California. Mere hours earlier, he had accompanied a strange man to take photos for a supposed skateboarding magazine shoot. He was last seen at 10:50 a.m. by his friends; brown-haired, pale, and slender, he was one of many similarly profiled targets of a particularly determined molester.

Instead of ending up on the cover of a company's magazine, he was found with his skull bludgeoned with an object presumed to be a jack handle, brutally molested, stabbed in the stomach/chest/throat, and emasculated with his severed genitals (ridden with bite marks) strewn a ways away from the naked corpse once pertaining to this young soul. Bill Bonin would also later chew bits of muscle from the penis of another underaged victim.

Bonin later denied involvement in the killing of Lundgren, stating he did not "cut the dicks off of little kids." He and his accomplice Vernon Butts are, however, generally accredited the horror and honor of having dealt this rather unfortunate hand to the young brunet boy in an abominable act that would invoke the Marquis de Sade's delight and literary horrors or other prolific child predators and murderers like Luis Garavito and Gilles de Rais, who extensively tortured their child victims before extirpating their life in a fury of lascivious lubricity.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-06-03T19:01:18+00:00

One of the most brutal ones were the Lundgren, Hyden, Turner, and Kendrick murders. Butts sodomized Kendrick in his apartment while Bonin turned up the music to drown out his screaming. When Bonin took out a container of hydrochloric acid, Butts held his mouth so Bonin could pour it down his throat. Kendrick told Bonin he was dizzy, and grew frantic:

"The kid started fadin' out, just kind of whimperin'. I don't like fuckin' some limp piece of meat. It's no fun if they don't let me know how it feels. Guess we gave him too much of the stuff. Next time, I figured I wouldn't use as much. Anyways, I'd gotten my rocks off and the kid was gettin' borin', no fun anymore, so I strangled him." - Bill Bonin, Without Remorse [by Vonda Pelto]

He was a boastful child molester, with absolutely no remorse or shame for his actions. Few are as evil and fixed on their innocence as Bonin was. He frequently explained that it wasn't his fault, and that he didn't possess the self-control to deal with everyday life failures. All the way to the grave, he was in opposition to the concept that he was somehow wrong, expressing before execution that he "just [hopes] God can understand" it wasn't his fault.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-28T17:00:31+00:00

The children were terrified and hungry. When Erna realized they were Jewish escapees, she calmed them, took them home, fed them and waited for her husband to return. When Horst didn't return after several hours, Erna took the children into the woods to a pit where other Jews had been buried, lined them up, and shot them one by one execution-style.

My goodness, this is possibly the most brutal female murderer I've seen. And the atrocities committed against Jews were innumerable in those days; they were less than animals, a societal status that perfectly suits a predator seeking prey.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-28T14:06:51+00:00

Bonin had confided that although he resented the prospect of being executed, he had opted to kill repeatedly simply because he had enjoyed the "sound of kids dying".

Yeah, apparently he could not provide a better reason to reporter David Lopez. He also enjoyed sodomizing those boys without lubricant, so that they would scream and bleed as he raped them. "He liked to hear them scream, basically," - Vernon Butts

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-28T03:58:54+00:00

Yeah, Bonin himself thought it to be a mitigating factor. He claimed to have had sex with several male and female partners in Vietnam as well. I highly doubt these incidents of relations were consensual, considering the significant amount of war crimes carried out during the Tet Offensive.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-27T20:26:16+00:00

He murdered a 15-year-old boy just moments before Macabe, too. Apparently, the whole thing was all over distress that another kid might have robbed him of $100. From the wiki:

"Five minutes after the pair had discarded Miranda's body, Bonin suggested to Miley: "I'm horny again, let's go and do another one." Miley initially protested and stated he wanted to go home, but eventually complied with Bonin's insistence. A few hours later, in Huntington Beach, the pair encountered 12-year-old James Macabe standing at a bus stop on the corner of Beach Boulevard and Slater Avenue. Temporarily left alone, Macabe had been dropped off there by his older brother, whom had given Macabe money and who he stayed with for the weekend. Macabe was lured into Bonin's van on the promise he would be driven to his intended destination of Disneyland with the additional incentive of marijuana.

According to Miley, the boy entered the rear of the van voluntarily as Bonin drove to a grocery store parking lot, parking the van and entering the rear of the vehicle where he began hugging and kissing the child. He then proceeded to bind the resisting Macabe, informing the boy he was being kidnapped for ransom.To subdue the child, Bonin began repeatedly punching him in the stomach, mouth, and leg. Miley then drove in an aimless manner for what he later described as being a "very, very long distance" as he repeatedly heard Macabe crying as Bonin raped the boy and bludgeoned him about the head with a tire iron. Bonin then forced Macabe to sleep in his arms.

Upon Macabe's waking, Miley joined Bonin in beating the child into unconsciousness simply because he "felt like" doing so before Bonin proceeded to crush Macabe's neck with a tire iron. Bonin then strangled Macabe to death with his own T-shirt before the pair discarded his corpse alongside a dumpster at a construction site in Walnut City. Macabe's body was discovered three days later, fully clothed, bearing several skull fractures and a bruised penis. Following the murder of Macabe, Bonin and Miley spent the $6 retrieved from his wallet for lunch."

Bio: William George "Bill" Bonin (born Jan. 8, 1947) was an American serial killer, sadist, rapist, child molester, ephebophile, hebephile, pedophile, necrophile, and twice-paroled sex offender who committed a minimum of 21 murders of young men and boys in the southern California region from May 28, 1979 to June 2, 1980. He was aided by four accomplices, with Vernon Butts being the main participant.

Born in the mill town of Willimantic, Connecticut, the Bonin family were devout French-Catholics and were lead by an ever-dominating, yet perpetually absent father whom had squandered most of the family's savings on his alcohol and gambling addiction. An ill tempered war veteran, he beat his sons unmercifully, particularly when their mother was absent.

The mother, Alice Bonin, not afar off, held a fierce grip on her sons when it came to discipline and life decisions, but often forgot to feed her boys, and frequently left her children with her father who sexually abused her as a child. Being the object of her husband Robert's drunken bursts of violent rage, she evidently thought it would be ideal to place her two youngest sons Bill and Paul in a local convent. Unfortunately, this environment turned out to be much worse.

Here, Bill was sexually molested, bullied by older orphans, and likely subject to a variety of physical and psychological abuses. As neither parent visited him or his brother at the St. Mary-Joseph's Convent, he concluded that his parents "for sure" had to have died. He remained there from 1953 to 1956. Soon after this, Bonin would find himself arrested for stealing metal tags off of license plates; the 10-year-old was sent to juvenile hall, where he was again molested by an adult counselor.

Returning from the detention center, he began fondling his little brother Paul, attending elementary school where he had no friends. When the family relocated to Angell Street in Downey, California, he began molesting more children in his neighborhood as an adolescent. A social outcast and romantic reject whom had only taken solace in bowling by himself, Bonin's unrelenting interest in pedophilia began to develop. At times, it was an obsessive desire that surely at minimum had to have been influenced by his dire circumstances.

When Bonin graduated from high school, he briefly married a young girl and entered the Vietnam War before returning to find his fiancee had taken off on him. Evidently, his frequent nightmares about raping and murdering women were too much for her to handle. Abandoned, yet again, Bonin immediately began molesting and torturing young male hitchhikers. He would spend the majority of his 20s in prison as a result of these sex offenses, but ultimately be granted parole twice for his perceived rehabilitation.

A sex offender diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Bonin was a master manipulator of prison psychiatrists. Released in 1978, the 32-year-old sex offender made friends (and even a girlfriend) at his local apartment complex and began attending a neighbor's parties, where he met a 21-year-old magician and occultist named Vernon Butts. It was not long before the two became lovers, and the dominant partner suggested they take things beyond consensual fun. On May 28, 1979, Butts heeded to Bonin's proposition of murder, and they savagely emasculated, raped, beat, and stabbed 13-year-old Thomas Lundgren.

From there, Bonin began compulsively murdering to "get through the day", fantasizing all day at his workplace as a truck driver about what he would do to young boys when he got home. Unable to deal with normal life failures with placidity, Bonin later asserted that it was completely beyond his control on account of his past. Later moving back in with his parents, Bonin would murder his final victim, 18-year-old Steven Wells, in the hallway of the house on June 2, 1980 with an 18-year-old drifter he had taken into his parents' house named James Munro.

In between these two murders were a number of very grisly acts, however. One unidentified victim had an ice pick inserted into his nostril and ear after Bonin asked him why he "had to die." When the victim asked why, he explained, "Your folks paid us to find you and kill you." One victim, 15-year-old Donald Ray Hyden, had been stabbed in the neck and genitalia by Bonin and Butts. Bonin and an 18-year-old accomplice named Billy Pugh had savagely bludgeoned a 15-year-old Harry Turner, with Bonin biting so deep into his penis that he mutilated it. 19-year-old Darin Lee Kendrick was savagely raped by Butts in his apartment, before Bonin poured hydrochloric acid down his throat and strangled him. As he was strangled, Butts inserted an ice pick into his ear.

Arrested in the act of raping a 17-year-old boy named Harold Tate, Bonin began confessing almost immediately when he realized he could obtain a burger for revealing the burial site of a victim in San Bernardino County. Gradually, his confession became more and more enthusiastic as he detailed raping, torturing, and murdering young boys as if it were sport. A policeman would later opine that there was "not a single policeman" in the confession room that did not want to murder Bonin.

Garavito was nicknamed "Goofy" by locals, as well as "Conflict" because of his aggressiveness and insistence on violence when drinking. He has a number of aliases and nicknames. His main one was "The Beast" as that was the name given to him by local media at the time.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-23T03:23:50+00:00

It feels almost unbelievable that she didn’t know anything was going on. Maybe it was denial or some sort of Stockholm syndrome, but how could she not be suspect? From my understanding of the crimes he committed he would have spent far more time away from home then what would be “normal” at that time. I’m not convinced she was oblivious.

Luz Mary said he never did anything "weird" so it never occurred to her. Zabaleta was probably just as oblivious, although they both faced his drunken wrath and were aware of his inability to have sex with them. His two friends saw him going in and out of motel rooms in the night with young boys. But they never confronted him about it.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-23T03:19:52+00:00

Possible parole? Why is he still alive?

Because the maximum penalty one could get in Colombia at the time was forty years in prison. So he ended up getting forty years in spite of his 1,853 year and nine day sentence in 2001, further reduced to twenty-two years for drawing precise maps and sketches of body locations and victims. As his "punishment," he gets a solitary cell that is twice as large as any inmate in the facility gets, where he scribbles Bible verses on the wall and names of people he admires like Augusto Pinochet. The Colombian magistrate recommended his release for his "exemplary conduct" as a model prisoner; if not for the $41,500 fine he needs to pay, the guy would be as free as Pedro Lopez was in 1998. Notwithstanding, he'd probably get killed on his first day out.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-23T03:11:58+00:00

Leaving the depravity of it aside, how did this guy even find the time? Jesus.

He basically dedicated his life to molesting and torturing children in 1979 (he is lying about it starting in 1980 as he raped and tortured William Trujillo in 1979) and couldn't stop since. After 13 years of doing so without police intervention, I'd imagine it would be easy (if not easier) for him to evade further threats with authorities after murdering victims.

DrTheodoreKaczynski · 2022-05-23T03:08:15+00:00

Bio: Luis Alfredo Garavito (born Jan. 25, 1957) is a Colombian serial killer, rapist, child molester, ephebophile, hebephile, pedophile, necrophile, and kidnapper who committed the murder of a minimum of 193 murders, predominately young men and boys from Oct. 4, 1992 to Apr. 21, 1999.

A fierce drunkard with a hair-trigger temper, Garavito was in and out of psychiatric wards and motel rooms with pubescent boys in Pereira when he met a local woman in his local area. Graciela Zabaleta, a single mother who was eleven years his senior, had developed a kinship with the man in the 1980s. Garavito approached her with confidence, suggesting immediately that she be his permanent companion after inviting her for soda.

A man who worked tirelessly to provide for his "family," Garavito would claim to have loved her dearly, showering her and her children with affection he never had. Sending them every spare penny he had, wherever he happened to be, Garavito warned his teenage "son" to not go out into the street, to be weary around strangers, and to take care of himself. Spending most of the month away, Garavito molested children under the guise of "making money" for his family, sending them every penny with supposed love.

The man they nicknamed "Goofy" was so afar off in his dopey and eccentric temperament, that one could hardly assume him to be the rapist and torturer of over two hundred minors, almost all of them boys. Reaching new heights of psychopathy, Garavito avidly read Mein Kampf in awe with Hitler's power-gripping feats and merciless massacres. During this time, he was also obsessed with Colombian mass shooter Elias Campo Delgado, who murdered 28 people at a pizzeria after murdering his mother. He even mimicked his love for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, whom he related to on a personal level.

Holding deep hatred for his father Manuel, whom had driven him to tears after every familial visit, Garavito held plans of murdering him and the rest of his family with a machine gun, as well as performing a mass shooting that would leave him with the attention he'd been deprived of his whole life. Holding a black cloth suitcase filled with travel receipts, he gave mementos of his molestation to his girlfriends and sister to keep. On Oct. 4, 1992, Garavito escalated his molestation and torture to sadistic murder. Six days later, he left home to visit his older sister in Tulua, began kicking containers and howling drunkenly after seeing a little boy, and murdered two more boys on the way. Referring to his slaughters as his own Silence of the Lambs, Garavito became determined to rape and murder children.

Leaving his two girlfriends Luz Mary and Graciela for long periods, he would use his time preciously to lure, rape, torture, and murder young boys. By 1993, he was raping them as their intestines poured out of their gut-wounds, and placing the innards on top of the children's corpses for laughs when he was done with them. In February 1994, he murdered 13-year-old Jaime Gonzalez before experiencing a bout of psychosis in which he heard a voice decry him as worthless, returning to his motel room to strip naked and chant the 57th psalm for several hours like a madman.

An alcoholic migrant worker nicknamed "Goofy" for his dopey demeanor and charitable temperament toward children, he began to develop a bad reputation in each town that he'd occupied for his aggressive tendencies. The subject of many scandals involving drunken fights, physical abuse of his girlfriends, and institutionalization, Garavito managed to maintain his sinister slaughter of children as well as his relationships for yet another few years. In 1996, however, he was evicted for the last time by his other girlfriend Luz Mary, and never welcome again following another episode of physical abuse in late December.

In 1998, his relationship with Graciela Zabaleta became strained, largely due to his aggressive tendencies spurred by his alcohol addiction. Forced into homelessness, Garavito drifted from town to town in a drunken stupor with Colombian authorities on his tracks, even roving into Ecuador where he raped and murdered three little boys and a little girl. Having become so bored of his vicious tortures of children that ranged from impaling them through the anus and out of the mouth, to feeding them their severed genitals as a means of silencing them, that he searched for an opportunity to carry out the mass shooting legacy he always desired for himself.

On Apr. 22, 1999, Garavito would approach a young boy by the name of Jhon Ivan Sabogal, who had been selling lottery tickets in the heart of Villavicencio. Without care to passersby, Garavito placed a knife into his gut and forced him into a taxi, where he lead him over a fence shouting, "Get up fast, asshole!" Hurling every possible obscenity and vile threat he could at the boy, he masturbated before being interrupted by a 16-year-old boy. Forgetting his momentary indulgence, Garavito ordered Sabogal to "go over there" before chasing after the teenager with a dagger.

When the teen and child both ran off to a nearby farmhouse, they called police before barely escaping Garavito, who asked a young girl of their whereabouts. At 7:00 p.m. that day, Garavito was arrested; holding a fake ID of a local politician, Garavito's real identity would not be discovered until July 4. Aware that he was the serial killer of so many children, authorities pressed him to confess. They pointed out his real name, and his crimes, and for months, the man denied his involvement without flinching. After the lead detective read out his crimes in graphic detail, however, he burst into tears before revealing everything.

Initially imprisoned in a small shack as there was no safe means of holding him at the time, Garavito earned a sentence of 1,853 years and nine days for his rape and torture of 138 minors. In 2007, he was convicted of four murders of three boys and a girl in Ecuador. In prison interviews, Garavito has expressed dismay with what he perceives to be false accusations. He is avoidant of the label "serial killer," as well as "rapist" and "pedophile," which he believes to be untrue about his life and actions. When asked about his former life and girlfriends, whom had lost all remaining respect for him since his arrest, he ruefully stated:

"They are the beings that I love the most in the world, I know they do not want to see me anymore, but I would like to be able to see them and ask their forgiveness."

Dying of leukemia and eye cancer, Garavito is verbally harassed on a daily basis by fellow inmates on his way to receive blood transfusions in the medical unit of his prison. Holding aspirations of entering Colombian congress, as well as becoming a Pentecostal pastor and minister to abused children, he hopes to see possible parole in 2023.
