00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:15,000
Hey everybody, it's your
country.
2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,300
My name is Brittany Ransom, and
this is when Killers get caught,
3
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:21,200
a podcast devoted to deep dives,
into the lives, and psyche to
4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,600
the Killer's.
We love to learn about and each
5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,100
week.
Usually, I have Brian here with
6
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:28,700
me and we find a True Crime
Story that resonates with us,
7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,800
then we discuss one, well-known
or lesser known killer and go
8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,700
deep into their childhood lives,
methodology, and how they got
9
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:39,900
caught and well, in most weeks
we would have Brian here to talk
10
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:41,600
about the Cryptids with the
supernatural.
11
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:46,100
But right now, now he is taking
a bit of an extended Hiatus to
12
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:47,800
deal with the loss of a loved
one.
13
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,200
I asked that nobody on social
media reach out to him.
14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,400
During this time, he's asked
that you give him some space.
15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,300
As for me, I also needed a
little bit of a break which is
16
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:01,100
why we've been gone for the last
two weeks.
17
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:05,600
Life is just off sometimes and
I'll just leave it at that.
18
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:11,100
But this week and True Crime I
actually have I just saw the
19
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:14,500
story on the news today.
It only Couple days ago and a
20
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:19,400
woman in Texas was just charged
with sneaking into her school to
21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,600
pretend to be her daughter under
the guise of a social
22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200
experiment.
And so it happened in El Paso
23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,100
County and she's 30 years old
and she made a YouTube video
24
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:35,700
about it and she like, put on a
mask and a hoodie and walked
25
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:39,600
around all day and she didn't
get found out by the school
26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,200
until about 7th period.
And I got got this from watching
27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,600
one of her subsequent videos and
she pretty much just said, I
28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,800
think that you should all be
kind of ashamed of yourselves
29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,500
because you didn't know I was
here all day I went through
30
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,200
homeroom and taking attendance
and everything unfortunately the
31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,700
school didn't see it that way
and they filed charges.
32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,199
There were two criminal warrants
out for her, one for criminal,
33
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,400
trespassing, and tampering with
government documents.
34
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,500
Then they also got her on a
warrant for like, a parking
35
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:17,500
ticket to they took her into
custody.
36
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:21,600
She recorded all of that and
posted it on social media, too.
37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:28,400
She's saying that the school has
an issue with security and with
38
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,500
all these like school, shootings
and things going on that they
39
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:36,500
should do better.
She said that there could have
40
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,700
metal detectors or some form of
like ID cards or something, and
41
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:42,800
she's not entirely wrong.
I just think she might have Have
42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,200
gone about it in a way that's
kind of adds some criminality to
43
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,000
her record.
It's definitely interesting.
44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,600
It's an ongoing thing like this
just happened a couple days ago
45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,400
that she was arrested in El
Paso, Texas.
46
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:59,700
But the video is actually on
YouTube still and it's called
47
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,500
going to school as my 13 year
old daughter, middle school
48
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:07,600
edition.
It happened on June 1st So yeah
49
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:09,900
that's kind of the one thing
that's kind of popped up.
50
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:13,500
Oh yeah her bond was 47 thousand
nine hundred dollars which I
51
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:17,900
find to be like a very random
trivial amount of like where's
52
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:24,600
that number come from.
But either way, that was my
53
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,900
crime story for the week and
we'll see if I continue doing
54
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,100
these while I'm on my own.
Or if I, you know, someone
55
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,900
reaches out and wants to maybe
do a hosting situation for the
56
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:39,000
next couple weeks or co-host
with me, But jumping back into
57
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,100
things.
I use my break to look into a
58
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:47,500
serial killer, whose fans refer
to him as the Brazilian?
59
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:54,700
Dexter killer PD padrino Matador
and for those who don't know,
60
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:58,400
Dexter being the fictional
serial, killer who grows up to
61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,500
kill other serial killers after
his father, teaches him a more
62
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:05,900
ethical way to deal with his
urges.
63
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:13,000
And I first read about Pedro,
Rodriguez Philo, when I bought
64
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,100
the big book of serial killers
by Jack Rosewood, and he's also
65
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:19,899
one of the three killers
profiled in the book.
66
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:24,200
Psycho.com by Eileen, Ormsby
about serial killers and have
67
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,600
gone viral in the Modern Age of
digital media.
68
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:35,400
And I'm going to get to that
point because he has a YouTube
69
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,300
channel and that's all I'm gonna
say about it right now.
70
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,200
But like I do every episode.
Let's start with talking about
71
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,600
the boy who became padrino
Matador.
72
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,200
He was born.
June 17 1954 on a farm and sent
73
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Arena do so pukka which is in
the state of Minas.
74
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,600
Karai Brazil.
He was actually born with a
75
00:04:56,608 --> 00:05:01,200
damaged skull due to his father
abused His mother while she was
76
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:07,000
pregnant, and dad was just
overall very an abusive person
77
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:10,300
and also abused him when he was
a kid as well.
78
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:17,100
Very all early on Pedro learned
that most situations could be
79
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,800
handled quickly with violence.
Something you definitely don't
80
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,600
want like a preteen to really be
solid on.
81
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:31,300
But in the interview he did with
Marcela rezende, he claimed that
82
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:34,600
he first felt the compulsion to
kill someone when he was about
83
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,200
13 years old and he tried to
kill his older cousin by pushing
84
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,700
him into a sugar cane, press on
the Family Farm, the cousin did
85
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:48,400
not die and there hasn't been
any way to really substantiate
86
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,900
these claims that he makes him.
Some of these interviews I'm
87
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:52,900
going to be referencing a lot of
them today.
88
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,300
Some of them are interviews that
he's posted on his own channel
89
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:01,800
on YouTube.
To get as many as I could
90
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,600
essentially transcripts in
English, but I didn't get to
91
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,300
watch all of them, but there's
not a lot of ways to
92
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:12,000
substantiate some of these
claims of things that happen.
93
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:17,800
Because as we know like serial
killers like to make themselves
94
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,100
seem more important than they
are so who knows, maybe he's
95
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:24,600
being really honest.
Maybe he's not however, what we
96
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,000
do know and can verify is that
in 1968 when he was 14 years old
97
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:33,200
that's when he first killed
somebody and the story's a
98
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,900
little bit wild.
So Pedro's father the father who
99
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:42,300
abused him but he still felt
some serious loyalty to God
100
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:46,900
accused And of stealing from his
job and dad was a security guard
101
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:51,700
at a local high school and food
went missing in the cafeteria
102
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:55,100
kitchen area.
His father, lost his job over
103
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:58,900
this.
And Pedro was just kind of full
104
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:06,100
of this Fury about the situation
and He said it was unfair and
105
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:10,500
the person who fired his dad was
the deputy mayor of Santa Rita
106
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:16,300
desuka and not only did he kill
the deputy mayor, but he did it
107
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:19,600
in front of city hall with a
shot gun that belonged to his
108
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,000
grandfather.
Then a month later, he Tracked
109
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,400
Down the actual security guard
who had stolen all the food and
110
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,600
shot him too.
And so at 14 year old
111
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:34,400
fourteen-years-old, this kid is
a total.
112
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,200
I mean, he's a murderer on the
run.
113
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:44,400
And so, he ends up down in an
area called Haggadah Cruces and
114
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,400
greater São.
Paulo, and he's just down there,
115
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,300
trying to avoid the police.
He does find a nice place to
116
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:54,200
hang out and discovers that the
local drug dealers are kind of
117
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,100
annoying to him.
So he kills them and he sort of
118
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:05,000
found this weird home down and
São Paulo where He was making
119
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,500
money, robbing drug traffickers
getting information from them.
120
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,400
And then murdering the drug
dealers.
121
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,200
They were working for he set up
shop there and he met a woman
122
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,100
named Maria Olympia and the to
even got engaged.
123
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:25,100
They were going to have a baby,
I called her, but Tina, and they
124
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:29,700
lived happily for a little while
taking on the job of drug
125
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:32,799
dealers that he dispatched and
then killing some of those drug
126
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:34,100
dealers.
Vowels.
127
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,000
I don't think it's that.
I think anyone listening
128
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,500
probably understands that these
kind of lifestyles are just not
129
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:46,600
sustainable.
And as it just goes with this,
130
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:49,600
when you are someone who is
making a lot of money doing an
131
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,800
illicit job, there's other
people who want that and they're
132
00:08:52,808 --> 00:08:57,600
willing to kill for it too.
So a rival gang leader, attacked
133
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,300
their home and killed Bettina,
and Pedro's unborn child.
134
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,400
It wasn't actually on the entire
family but Pedro was able to
135
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,900
escape unlike last time though
he had no intention of leaving
136
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:16,100
so Paolo.
Instead he began recruiting
137
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:23,100
soldiers for his own little army
and he set up a new business.
138
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,400
He was hell-bent on Revenge and
so he began picking up
139
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,700
lower-tier gang members from
different gangs and torturing
140
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:36,100
them for information.
In about their bosses before
141
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:40,100
killing them because he was just
trying to figure out which gang
142
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:42,200
had been the one to attack his
family.
143
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,500
Then when he finally did find
that man, he didn't wait at all.
144
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,500
The Rival leader, who killed
Bettina was at a wedding.
145
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,900
With some of the other gang
members that were part of his
146
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:03,800
gang and Pedro and his group
opened fire on the wedding.
147
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,000
Not only killing that gang
leader, but seven more of the
148
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,700
gang members and wounding 16
others as punishment.
149
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:19,000
They were all listed as being
part of the gang or gang
150
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,500
Affiliates, but I kind of wonder
if that's Him discussing like
151
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,700
him saying like oh you're the
wife of a gang member whatever
152
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:32,300
you're Affiliated.
I couldn't find any clear
153
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:35,600
Distinction on that event
because most of the reporting
154
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:42,200
about Pedro fellow is that from
when he really got busy killing
155
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,800
people in jail.
So I think that's an interesting
156
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,100
thought process but it just said
that there were 16 other wounded
157
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:51,800
people and that it's assumed
that they were also gang members
158
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,000
or gang affiliated Now, I just
listed all of these.
159
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,500
Right, we're talking about
Deputy Mayor security guard six
160
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:04,000
or seven gang members.
The man who killed his fiancee,
161
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
seven wedding guests.
So, Pedro doesn't even fit 18
162
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,700
years old and he is killed 15
people.
163
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:20,300
He continues to live in Sao
Paulo unbothered for a little
164
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:26,900
bit, maybe like a year, or so.
And then in 1973, he's 19 years
165
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:32,500
old and he gets word that his
mother has been murdered and the
166
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,600
person who did it is his father
and that his father killed, his
167
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,700
mother with a machete and he was
back in jail, he was in jail
168
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:45,000
back in Santa Rita.
So according to that interview
169
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,400
with Marcelo rezende, Pedro
says, he went to visit his
170
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,400
father in the city jail and he
had a machete on him.
171
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:57,000
And he stabbed his father 22
times ripped out.
172
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,900
His heart, bit off a piece of
it, and spit it in his face
173
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,300
because of that situation.
When I spent my time researching
174
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:12,100
Pedro, he comes up as a
sometimes, Cannibal and I saw
175
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:16,100
some Some people say that he ate
a piece of his heart but in
176
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:18,700
several different books that I
was reading through, it seems
177
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:23,300
like he didn't actually eat the
heart so he's just a murderer,
178
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:25,900
not a cannibal, good thing to
think about.
179
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,700
The police couldn't catch him.
And this kind of Was the The
180
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:38,800
Benchmark of him.
Avenging, the pain of others,
181
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,300
and he really started fixating
on murdering criminals.
182
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:45,400
After this, he started like
whenever you would see, would
183
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,100
see crimes on the news or in
papers, he would then look that
184
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:53,500
person up, and it's really
important to give some context
185
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,900
here.
Brazil has a issue with
186
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:58,600
homicides, just like America
does.
187
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:04,200
But the situation is that only
40% Of murders in America.
188
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Don't go solved actually, I
think it's backwards 60%.
189
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:15,200
Don't go solved in America, but
10% go unsolved in Brazil.
190
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:19,900
So there are a lot of people who
get charged for crimes or you
191
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:23,200
know, they managed to get off or
they never get caught and so
192
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,000
when Pedro saw these things in
the paper or the news he decided
193
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,600
he was going to take it into his
own hands and so he would search
194
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,500
like their names and Find out
their addresses and then he
195
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:38,200
would stop by for a visit.
Some of the people he killed
196
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,800
during this time period before
he would actually get officially
197
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,300
arrested were the adult man.
Who impregnated his teen cousin?
198
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,900
He shot that man with a shotgun,
his preferred method of killing
199
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:52,800
was bleeds.
But if he was feeling
200
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,100
particularly spicy, he would use
the method that the criminal had
201
00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:59,700
used to, then torture and kill
that person.
202
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,500
Kind of like a bit of horrific
car.
203
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,000
I just before they died several
different Portuguese newspapers
204
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,500
confirmed that there were an
additional 11 killings of
205
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:15,300
unarmed people before he would
get arrested on May 24th 1973.
206
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,200
Then from that 73 to 2003, is
when things really kind of
207
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,900
heated up, he started targeting
other murderers.
208
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:31,900
And people within this prison
system, he killed Francisco Dia
209
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:34,200
CCP.
Una de who was a serial killer
210
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,300
and a rapist.
He attacked, July, acacio,
211
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:40,500
Dacosta, who was a serial
killer, and robber, and nearly
212
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:45,100
bludgeoned, that man to death,
but Dacosta survived police
213
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,200
reported.
That there was even a time that
214
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,800
they were transporting, Pedro
with another prisoner.
215
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:55,400
And both of the men were like
handcuffed to like the chairs as
216
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,700
you do and these sort of
vehicles, and when they got to
217
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:02,400
the next location, they opened
the back of the van.
218
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,800
An and the other man was dead
and Pedro simply told them like
219
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,700
he was a rapist.
So I killed him.
220
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:16,700
He attempted to kill has many
Ramos who was a bank robber,
221
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:20,100
make bank robber and murderer,
but he got stopped by the
222
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:22,900
guards.
He decapitated another and me,
223
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,700
he killed two of his cellmates
and those didn't really fit his
224
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:33,600
pattern of attack because those
were men who severely annoyed
225
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,400
him.
Another story that I read in a
226
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,500
paper, he got jumped by five
other inmates and he killed
227
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:48,000
three of those men and two of
them ran away in total.
228
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,400
There are 40 more people.
He killed while he was in
229
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,700
prison.
He killed more people while he
230
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:56,700
was in prison, then before he
got there.
231
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,300
And so his original sentencing,
when he went into jail in 1973
232
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:05,700
was 126 years, but over the next
few decades, Decades, he added
233
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:08,500
another 250 years to his
sentence.
234
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:13,500
Pedro, still claims to this day
that he's killed over 100
235
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:16,200
people.
But the official confirmed kill
236
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,600
count is 71.
It's interesting because part of
237
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,500
the gig that I do for this
podcast is a lot of research and
238
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:31,100
I have read easily a dozen or
more different people's opinion
239
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,600
of Pedro, Soho and some people
call him a vigilante But lanica
240
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:43,500
Soy criminology expert, who
wrote a book about murderers and
241
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:50,100
Brazil, referred to Pedro as an
Avenger who killed those who he
242
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:54,800
believed had harmed others.
The problem with that though is
243
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,400
that many of the prisoners, he
killed in prison hadn't actually
244
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,200
been sentenced, some of them
were only accused and when
245
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,099
people did a bit of a
Statistical analysis of murders,
246
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:11,300
versus actual, you know,
convicted murderers.
247
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:16,099
Only 36 percent of Pedro, fill
hose victims were ever found
248
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:20,800
guilty of any crimes, like I
said before, he killed two of
249
00:17:20,808 --> 00:17:22,900
his cellmates.
One of them was because he said
250
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:27,800
he didn't like the guy's face.
So his code of ethics was very
251
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:33,400
rigid but also bizarre and a
little flexible depending on how
252
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:46,400
Pedro is feeling.
I personally, Today's episode of
253
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,100
when Killers get caught, is
brought to you by the magic
254
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:52,600
claps Boutique which happens to
be company owned by a very own
255
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,900
Britney.
Ransom, if you seen Brittany and
256
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,700
her live streams, she's always
rocking some awesome earrings.
257
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:01,600
That she herself makes from cute
ice cream earrings, too spooky
258
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,300
mermaid earrings.
She even makes self-defense
259
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:06,900
keychains so you can look
stylish and protect yourself.
260
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:10,100
At the same time, the magic
class Boutique is going to
261
00:18:10,108 --> 00:18:12,500
release some special jewelry for
a podcast next month.
262
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:14,000
So keep an eye out for that as
well.
263
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,800
To learn more.
Go to www.michelintransport.com.
264
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:34,000
Thank that he does fit the, the
modern thought process of
265
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,500
Dexter, you know, Pedro had this
murderous desire in him and
266
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:42,000
maybe he just found a way to
rationally, expel.
267
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Those feelings by choosing other
people that were kind of like
268
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,200
him.
So, I did mention to you that
269
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,000
he's still alive and he was
given nearly 400 years in
270
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:01,400
prison, but he's not in prison
anymore. so, In Brazil, there is
271
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,400
a law that says that no one can
spend more than life in prison
272
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,400
and just like in America life in
prison is about 30 years.
273
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:17,600
And so the law in Brazil says
that You essentially, it doesn't
274
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,500
matter what the severity of your
crime is 30 years is the, the
275
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:28,900
max sentence for anyone crime.
And so maybe this was a mistake
276
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:36,100
on the part of the court system
in charging him for all of his
277
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:40,100
crimes before.
Well then again, hmm.
278
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:43,900
See if this was America, what
they would have done is hold off
279
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:47,600
for a couple of crimes and then
when he got out charged him with
280
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,100
the other murders so that it
didn't fall under a double
281
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:55,300
jeopardy Clause but regardless
it become its 2003.
282
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:01,000
He's hit the 30 year mark So now
there's this huge dispute over.
283
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,200
Do we release this man who is
being referred to as the perfect
284
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,900
psychopath?
The problem is he got diagnosed
285
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:10,700
with multiple things while he
was in prison.
286
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:13,600
He was diagnosed with
psychopathy but also as a
287
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,200
sociopath And so there was a law
passed in Brazil.
288
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,800
In 1934, the anyone who was a
psychopath could be detained
289
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:27,300
indefinitely, if you were at a
treatment facility that got
290
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:31,700
repealed November 8th 1990, but
a lot of people didn't
291
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:35,600
appreciate that.
After a few years of them,
292
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,100
debating, if Pedro was
rehabilitated, they released him
293
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:44,200
in 2007, a he'd spent 42 years
in prison.
294
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:49,200
More years of his adult life
were spent in prison, then as a
295
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,000
free man and he was ready for
the second phase of his life,
296
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:02,400
becoming a viral YouTube Star.
But before I get there and how
297
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,000
that even happened, I have to
explain what life was kind of
298
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,800
like, for him on release, like I
said, he'd been in prison for
299
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,200
the majority of his life.
He didn't really understand much
300
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,500
of the modern world, he didn't.
I mean, he had no understanding
301
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:21,800
of what a cell phone was when he
got out to even get home.
302
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:27,000
He had to ask strangers for help
to figure out the train system
303
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,700
subway system.
He was famous and he didn't even
304
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:35,800
realize it.
Loads of different media.
305
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,700
People podcasters, other people
all beating down his door for
306
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:44,000
interviews and he could just
walk somewhere and people would
307
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,300
take his picture.
That's a lot to get used to even
308
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,400
if you're just a civilian and
especially hard when you've been
309
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,800
in prison and now you just want
a little bit of Peace.
310
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:58,700
One thing that I guess is nice,
though is he did find love while
311
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:01,400
he was in prison.
He had been exchanging letters
312
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,900
with a woman who was also a
prisoner.
313
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,500
She had been imprisoned for
burglary for 12 years and when
314
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:11,500
she was released she'd visit him
once.
315
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:13,900
Pedro was released the two of
them moved in together.
316
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,700
She has no desire to be a part
of his public life so she is
317
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:24,200
only listed as a unidentified
woman who he's dating and he's
318
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,300
expressed in several interviews.
All he wants.
319
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:29,900
Now is just to try and live a
good and honest life.
320
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:36,000
But a lot of the citizens in
Brazil feel that it's unfair
321
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:41,200
that he had such a short
sentence, in their opinion, what
322
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,000
they say is that Pedro had a
chance to have like an attorney.
323
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,000
He got to go to trial.
None of Pedro, fill hose
324
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:54,300
victims.
Got to go to trial.
325
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:57,100
They didn't get their day in
court, because he exercised that
326
00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:03,200
right.
And in one of the interviews
327
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:09,900
that I got transcribed, he told
another podcaster and Brazil
328
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:14,800
that he doesn't regret killing
people who harmed other people,
329
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,900
but he does regret being a
criminal at all.
330
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:23,400
So I think that's a very
interesting thing to say like,
331
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:29,000
You regret, you don't regret
murdering bad people because
332
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,900
they were bad in your eyes but
you regret ever getting involved
333
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:35,400
in the criminal life at all.
So, that's another interesting
334
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,600
one.
There were a couple years of
335
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:45,800
peace and quiet, and then he got
arrested again in 2011 for
336
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:51,400
participating in, not one, but
six, different riots that
337
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,000
involved him and several other
people.
338
00:23:55,100 --> 00:24:00,000
A security guard from a prison
who have been involved in.
339
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:05,400
Illegal activities in the
prison.
340
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:09,400
Some of those illegal activities
involved, harming, prisoners for
341
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,300
that.
He was given a seven-year
342
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,900
sentence and he went back into
prison and was released in 2018.
343
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:18,900
So like he's sort of stayed out
of trouble.
344
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:21,800
But not quite.
I, it's hard because I totally
345
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:27,000
identify with wanting to do a
prison riot and hurt the people
346
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,300
who are hurting people, but
regardless I think Brazil was
347
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:33,700
like really dude.
Really.
348
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
So he gets out in 2018, right?
That's also when he starts
349
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,900
making YouTube videos with a
friend of his who had known for
350
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:46,800
a long time named Pablo Sylvia.
Now, at this point, like today,
351
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,400
2021, Pedro has appeared on many
different Brazilian podcasts.
352
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:54,700
He's on video, he's on videos on
Pablo.
353
00:24:54,700 --> 00:25:00,700
Sylvia's Channel, he has his own
channel, he's done other TV
354
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:06,000
interviews, Pablo Oh, Sylvia
produces most of the videos that
355
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,600
he puts up on YouTube.
And the idea behind these videos
356
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,200
is that he comments on the
crimes and Brazil.
357
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:15,600
And like I said before, there's
a lot for him to comment on
358
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,700
because only 10% of all murders.
Get solved in Brazil.
359
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,800
I'm Pedro see still feel like
he's doing some good giving
360
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,200
Brazilian citizens and enter a
look into the mind of a killer
361
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,200
as well as seeing Pedro's
opinion on the psychological
362
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,100
motivations of the people
accused of these crimes.
363
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:44,400
As of January has YouTube
channel had over 20,000
364
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,100
followers and about 2.5 million
likes so he's doing pretty good
365
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,900
Pablo.
Who chooses the Articles at
366
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:57,200
Pedro comments on and apparently
they also go to church together.
367
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:02,900
He's also been approached to
make a film about his life, as
368
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:07,300
well as a book.
The filmmaker is named Bruno
369
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:10,700
Santana.
And I guess the idea behind the
370
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:14,400
movie is that they're going to
take Pedro to different
371
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,300
locations, where some of these
crimes happened and have him
372
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:23,500
recount these moments and the ER
says that it's going to be
373
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:27,100
exciting and amazing and you
know you're going to learn new
374
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:29,100
details, you never heard of
before.
375
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:35,600
Pablo Sylvia is also helping him
prepare the biography.
376
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:39,200
And it's really interesting
because everyone who's working
377
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,600
on these projects with Pedro.
Phyllis say that he's this
378
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,800
really kind man.
He treats, everyone.
379
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,700
Well, he has friendships with
the different staff and their
380
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:52,600
families.
Just a very strong juxtaposition
381
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,800
from a man who also will admit
in the same interview.
382
00:26:56,900 --> 00:26:59,200
Yeah, no.
I definitely enjoyed killing and
383
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:05,400
killed, 100 people.
One thing that I will say, and I
384
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,500
guess I'll leave you with the
end of this story.
385
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:14,500
Is it what it seems like is that
he wants to just kind of
386
00:27:14,508 --> 00:27:18,700
disappear?
He said he wants to live in a
387
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:20,800
small farm in the middle of the
Woods.
388
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,300
And he's looking to reach some
kind of inner, peace and
389
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:30,100
happiness, but one thing he is
experiencing that is hat and
390
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,300
made him.
Happy is that through YouTube.
391
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:36,600
He's kind of stopped being this
Boogeyman, you know, killer PD.
392
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,200
But during a matador, when
people see him now, they just
393
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,600
go.
Hi, mr.
394
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,700
Pedro, and for a couple of
minutes he gets to feel like a
395
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:50,100
regular person and not like the
animal in a cage who was being
396
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:54,600
viewed by the masses.
Overall, it's just a very
397
00:27:54,600 --> 00:28:00,600
peculiar little story.
I don't entirely know how to
398
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,900
feel about it.
I On one hand, I definitely like
399
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:09,500
the idea of a serial killer that
kills other Killers.
400
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:12,700
That's why I like the TV show
Dexter at least for the first
401
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:20,000
several seasons but Knowing what
we know now that he had this
402
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:27,300
very flexible and ever-changing
moral compass, I don't know if I
403
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,800
feel a sympathetic to him as I
did.
404
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,400
When I first started looking
into this you know I mean one
405
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,200
thing by saying that you know
you murdered a man because you
406
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,400
spied on him having a conjugal
visit that was one of his
407
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,100
cellmates and then you murdered
another one of his cellmates for
408
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:48,600
looking weird.
Weird like those don't really
409
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,600
fall into the avenging.
Angel stereotype.
410
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,600
But, uh, that's kind of all I
have for you this first week, I
411
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:02,200
will have more next week as I
do, some more research into a
412
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,100
different serial killer.
And like I said, I'm putting out
413
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:10,400
the call for Anybody who'd like
to guest host, I have a couple
414
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,300
of weeks and just send me an
email and we'll see what we can
415
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:19,200
do.
Like usual will ask, you can
416
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,600
always support the magic clasp.
It's my jewelry company.
417
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:27,600
I have been working on some
potential merchandise for the
418
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:34,500
future as well, and you can
always leave us a review on
419
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,700
mainly Apple podcasts, but thank
you anybody.
420
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:40,700
Who listened all the way?
I'm sorry.
421
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:45,100
This episode is so short and
I'll be ready for you next week.
422
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:46,900
Good night.
