概要
The Monster That Escaped from the Destroyed Prison: The Serial Crime of Manuel Octavio Bermúdez

December 2001: the guerrilla destroys a prison in Bolívar. A man walks out. In his cell, there are clippings about Luis Alfredo Garavito. Eighteen months later, twelve children are dead in the sugarcane fields, and no one knows who is responsible.

In this episode, we explore how a serial killer of minors operated freely while the police searched for the wrong criminal. A twelve-year-old survivor describes the limping ice cream vendor. The permanent limp—resulting from being thrown out of a window at five years old—becomes his unique mark. How did justice take so long to connect the dots?

Victim: Manuel Octavio Bermúdez and his victims
Date: December 2001 - June 2003
Location: Palmira, Pradera, Tuluá, Yotoco, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Status: Convicted; serving sentence in Valledupar

- An adopted boy is thrown out of a window at five years old; the untreated fracture causes a permanent limp that identifies him thirty years later.
- Bermúdez escapes when the guerrilla destroys his prison; the police continue searching for another killer while he keeps killing.
- The police attribute the crimes to Garavito (already arrested in 2003); the murders continue because the real criminal walks free.
- He confesses to twenty-one of the crimes but is prosecuted for only one; his release is scheduled for 2025-2030.
