Daniel Camargo

"I like hurting people."Daniel Camargo Barbosa, a.k.a. "The Sadist of Chanquito", was a profilic Colombian serial killer and rapist.

History
Due to the fact that his mother died when he was still a child and his father was an emotionally distant relative, he was raised by his abusive stepmother, whose method of punishing was dressing him in girls' clothing, making him a victim of bullying. He was first arrested on May 24, 1958, for petty theft. Barbosa was married to a woman named Alcira, and had two children with her. However, Barbosa was romantically involved with another woman named Esperanza. Barbosa planned to marry her but found out that she was not a virgin. With the help of Esperanza, Barbosa began to lure young girls to his apartment, drugging and then raping them, there were five victims in total but none of them were killed, the fifth victim reported Barbosa and Esperanza to the police and they were arrested. Barbosa was initially sentenced to three years in prison but was eventually sentenced to eight years by another judge, he served his full sentence and was released. In 1973, he was arrested in Brazil for being undocumented and was deported to Colombia. In Colombia, Barbosa began to work as a street vendor, selling television monitors. His first victim was a nine-year-old female student, she was raped and killed by Barbosa. He was arrested on May 3, 1974, when he returned to the crime scene to recover the television screens that he had left beside the victim. He was convicted of killing a nine-year-old girl and was initially sentenced to 30 years in prison but the sentence was reduced to 25 years. Ten years later, Barbosa escaped from the Gorgona prison in a boat after he had studied the ocean currents. Authorities believed that he died at the sea and the press reported that he had been eaten by sharks.

He arrived in Quito, Ecuador and travelled to Guayaquil. On December 18, 1984, Barbosa abducted another nine-year-old girl and killed her, another girl was reported missing the next day. Barbosa committed at least 54 rapes and murders between 1984 and 1986. Authorities initially believed that the crimes were the work of gang members. Barbosa was eventually arrested on February 26, 1986 by two policemen after he had killed a girl named Elizabeth and stealing her clothes. He was taken into custody and moved to Guayanil for identification, he was later identified by one of his rape victims. In prison, Barbosa confessed to killing 72 girls in Ecuador since he had escaped from prison. He was convicted in 1989 and sentenced to 16 years, the maximum sentence available in Ecuador. While serving his sentence, he met with fellow serial killer and child murderer Pedro Alonso López a.k.a. "The Monster of the Andes", who is believed to have raped and killed more than 300 girls in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Barbosa was eventually murdered in prison by another inmate, Geovanny Noguera, who was the nephew of one of his victims.

Modus Operandi
Barbosa targeted young lower-class girls, he approached them by pretending that he was a foreigner who needed to find a Protestant pastor in a church located on the outskirts of town. He also showed a large sum of money to them and hinted at possibility of him employing the girls. He would offer a reward to the girls if they would accompany him to show him the way and then enter into the woods by claiming to be looking for a shortcut. There, Barbosa would rape the girls before killing them in a variety of ways, such as: strangling, stabbing and hacking, slashing or crushing with a machete. After killing them, he would occasionally steal their clothes in order to sell them. Barbosa stated that his favorite victims were virgins because they cried and this gave him greater satisfaction.
