'''Pedro Alonso López ''' (October 8<sup>th</sup>, 1948) also known by his criminal alias '''the Monster of the Andes''', is a Colombian serial killer accused of raping and [[murder]]ing over 300 South American girls throughout Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

He is considered to be one of the world's most prolific serial killers; at one point, the ''Guiness Book of World Records'' listed him as the world's deadliest serial killer. However, in terms of actually confirmed victims, [[Luis Garavito]], a fellow Colombian, surpasses Lopez with 142 confirmed murders to his name. Though he was only ever formally convicted of 110 murders, Lopez has been definitively linked to other 240 murders, but its believe that he killed as many as 400.
