There are two kinds of serial killers: those who get caught and those who don't. Based on FBI statistics, the U.S. has around 50 active serial killers at any one time. Not cool. In fact, becoming a serial killer is possibly the least cool thing you can do. Just don't become a serial killer, okay? Promise?
Some serial killers are smarter than others, eluding capture through false evidence and an uncanny ability to leave little trace, while others seem to get off through sheer luck.
Such was the case with Pedro Lopez, one of the most prolific serial killers of all time. Biography tells us he was convicted in 1980 of killing 110 people in Peru and Ecuador. His conviction amounted to a grand total of 14 years behind bars before he was deported to Colombia, which institutionalized him and then released him. His whereabouts are currently unknown, but assuming he is still alive and hasn't magically seen the light, this tragic, sadistic being would take the cake for the most dangerous active serial killer in 2019.
But the fact that we are aware of Lopez's identity makes him the exception to the rule.
