Serial Killers in Mexico

Mexico harbors a dark legacy of serial killers intertwined with poverty, cartels, and femicide, from the 19th-century “El Chalequero” who slashed 20 prostitutes to modern cannibals like José Luis Calva and the “Monsters of Ecatepec” who dismembered 20 women. These cases, often underreported due to corruption, reveal patterns of ritualistic brutality and impunity, as seen in the unsolved Ciudad Juárez femicides claiming over 500 lives.
