Summary
Juan Fernando Hermosa holds the record for being Ecuador’s youngest serial killer. At just 15 years old, he was arrested for murdering 22 people. Carmen and Cristina discuss this case, but first they read a listener story and end with spooky recs. Carmen's rec was the book Play Nice by Rachel Harrison and Cristina's was Guillermo Del Toro's debut film, Cronos.
