78: The Monsters of Ecatepec - Mexico's Serial Killer Couple

When police placed a seemingly ordinary couple under active surveillance on October 4, 2018, they were hoping to discover a link to the wave of disappearances plaguing Ecatepec, Mexico. As the suspects stepped out of their home, the wife was pushing a baby stroller. When officers moved in and pulled back the blanket, instead of finding a missing infant, they uncovered human remains—sparking the arrest of Juan Carlos Hernández and Patricia Martínez Bernal, infamously known worldwide as "The Monsters of Ecatepec," and blowing open one of the most gruesome true crime cases in modern history.*Please note that the three young women whose mothers united to investigate their disappearances are featured in the episode cover. The majority of the serial killers' victims are either unknown or under strict legal protection. Questions, Comments, or Ideas for future episodes? Please reach out!
