Twenty-year-old finds charred body in hardware store and realizes his mistake

Twenty-year-old finds charred body in hardware store and realizes his mistake: The Serial Murders of Isabella Robledo Puch February 3, 1972. Inside a Buenos Aires hardware store: two corpses, a lit blowtorch, and a charred pocket holding one intact document. That forgotten paper was enough to capture the most prolific killer in Argentine history-a quiet, piano-playing boy who had murdered eleven people in eleven months without remorse. In this episode, we trace Isabella Robledo Puch's transformation from middle-class student to serial killer, examining the relationship with his accomplice Jorge Ibáñez, the methodical escalation of violence, and the single oversight that ended his spree. How did a boy with no visible warning signs become Argentina's deadliest criminal? And why did he confess so readily when arrested?
