*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved.

In this episode, Heather and Rachelle discuss another female serial killer! Her nickname was La Luchadora...which means “the fighter”.  Why, you ask? Well, in Mexico, professional wrestling is a popular form of entertainment.  But it’s a bit different than one might expect by the name...in Mexico, professional wrestling aka Lucha Libre has a certain sense of pageantry.  Luchadores (aka wrestlers), often wear colorful masks as they perform different acrobatic leaps off the ropes to grapple with their opponents. But Juana Barraza had a more sinister side to her.

She lived somewhat of a double life.  Her day consisted of working as a popcorn vendor and sometimes a luchadora at a wrestling venue in Mexico City.  She was described as being stocky and strong. Barraza took to the ring as The Lady of Silence as she competed in the amateur circuit.  By night, she was a completely different person - known as Mataviejitas, or “little old lady killer.” She may have killed up to 50 woman who were all over the age of 60! She is serving a sentence of 759 years in a Mexican prison…where she is actually living a decent life; to hear her tell it!
