Pedro Alonso Lopez was born to a penniless prostitute in Tolmia, Colombia. He and his 12 brothers and sisters had a less-than-satisfactory childhood. Mom was overbearing and dominant, and ruled her children with a dictatorial presence.
During the time period of his early life, Colombia was in a high state of turmoil. This was the La Violencia period where riots and amazing violence ruled the nation, claiming 200,000 lives in the ten years of the 'war'. For 13 children growing up in an unbearable home environment, the streets would offer no comfort or respite. Guerrillas, paramilitaries, and the national armed forces all engaged in massive human rights violations. The nation's crime rate was an appalling 50 times greater than anywhere else in the world. The total environment would prove to be an excellent breeding ground for possibly the world's most prolific killer in history.
At the ripe age of eight, Pedro was exiled to the streets and ordered never to set foot into his mother's house again. He had been caught having sex with a younger sister. Out on the streets, he was picked up by an older man who gave him food and shelter, but this seeming good fortune came at a terrible price to the young Pedro. The boy was repeatedly sodomized by the man in an abandoned structure before being thrown back out into the street.
He eventually found his way to Bogata where an American couple saw his deplorable condition and approached him with an opportunity to come live with them. He was finally living in a loving environment where he was well-fed and enrolled in a school for orphans. Things were looking up for young Pedro until, at the age of 12, he was molested by a teacher at his school. His former rage and fear returned and he responded by stealing some money from the school office and running away.
Back in Colombia with no skills and a sparse education, Pedro began a beggar's life yet again. He moved on from this to auto theft, which he acquired quite a reputation for. Then he was arrested for his illegal activities and, at just 18 years of age, he was imprisoned for seven years. After only two days in the clink, Pedro was gang-raped by his fellow inmates and then murdered at least three of his four attackers. Only two years were added to his prison time because the murders had been deemed acts of self-defense.
Now an adult, Pedro Lopez had acquired a deep-seated fear of women and hatred for his mother as well as a severe vulnerability with men due to his experiences of repeated abuse at their hands. He turned to pornography and retreated into his own private fantasy world for intimacy and fulfillment of his desires.
