Growing up in poverty, Juana overcame the challenges of having an abusive mother who tragically forced her into the sex trade for only three beers. Despite these circumstances, Juana's strength propelled her forward as she navigated into adulthood. As Juana matured, she developed a deep resentment towards her mother and projected her anger onto older women who reminded her of the pain she had already endured. However, Juana's life took a dramatic turn when she embarked on a career in professional wrestling. Although she hoped it would provide an outlet for her frustrations, destiny had a different plan.
Juana's journey into the world of professional wrestling seemed promising, but her inner turmoil persisted. In the 1990s, driven by her own hands, she embarked on a haunting path, targeting elderly women in a chilling spree of crimes that shook Mexico City to its core.
Join us on an unforgettable exploration of nearly a decade of terror that startled the entire city. Through gripping storytelling, Deb and Beth recount the shocking events that unfolded during this tumultuous period. The twists and turns will leave you on the edge of your seat as you discover the true depths of Juana Barraza's story.
