Case 292: Monster of the Andes

Case 292 Monster of the Andes

*** Content warnings: Child abuse, child victims, sexual assault ***

In the late 1970s, young girls along the Andes mountain range in Ecuador began to disappear. By 1980, the number of missing girls had reached national crisis proportions. Police feared the girls had been abducted by international child traffickers and sold into domestic and sexual slavery. That was until a vigilant market vendor spotted something out of the ordinary.
