on facebook and instagram i post visuals that go along with the stories you hear about

nothing gross or graphic but enough for you to put a face with the names that you're hearing about

and sometimes the locations that you're hearing about the killer you're going to hear about

today has murder numbers that are absolutely beyond comprehension.

He's been described as the world's worst serial killer.

Based on that alone, you'd think, well, he'll never breathe a breath of free air again.

You'll hear why, by the time you hear this, he may already be free.

He has admitted to the rape, torture, and murder of 138 boys and teenagers.

Based on maps he drew for officials to find the remains of his victims,

his actual number could be closer to 300, maybe more.

They still aren't sure.

This is The Beast.

La Beast, Luis Garavito is 64 years old.
