“I lost my innocence at age eight, so I decided to do the same to as many young girls as I could.”- Pedro Lopez
In 1983 he was found guilty of murdering 110 young girls. He confessed to a further 240 murders of missing girls in Peru and Columbia, All the girls were between the ages of nine and twelve years old.
Lopez would search village markets for selected young girls with “a look of innocence and beauty” who looked like “a good girl, always working with her mother”. Once he spotted a girl that he liked he would follow her and her mother for three days waiting for the moment when she was alone. When he got the girls attention; he lured the girls away with promising them small gifts but instead of doing that he would take them away to his secret hide away with prepared graves. He would cuddle the girl during the night, and then he would strangle and rape her at sunrise. Lopez never wanted to kill them at night, waiting till daylight meant he could see his victims face while she died. After he killed the girls he would have “parties” by propping up three to four of them in a grave, talking with them as if they were alive. Once he got bored of those bodies, he was back on his hunt to find more.
