The Lucha Libre Killer: Juana Barraza’s Twisted Double Life
Manage episode 488213230 series 3262003
A mask, a motive, and a trail of bodies—this is the chilling truth behind Mexico’s most unexpected serial killer.
She walked into their homes wearing a nurse’s badge, but left behind only silence.
In this haunting episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we uncover the disturbing true story of Juana Barraza—Mexico’s infamous “Little Old Lady Killer.” A woman fueled by rage, trauma, and a lifetime of betrayal. But was she born a monster… or made into one?
This is a case where justice meets psychology.
Where the mask of kindness hid a dark and violent compulsion.
And where one woman’s childhood pain turned into a series of cold, calculated murders.
This week, we explore:
- How Juana’s early life was shaped by abandonment, abuse, and neglect
- The complex connection between her past trauma and her crimes
- Why elderly women became her targets—and what their deaths symbolized
- Her double life as a professional wrestler… and a serial killer
- The moment it all came crashing down—and the trial that followed
- A deeper look into the question: Did we create her?
Juana Barraza wasn’t just a murderer.
She was a manifestation of everything society ignored.
This isn’t just true crime—it’s a psychological reckoning with a woman the world chose not to see.
