Veronica Cortez is a Mexican serial killer, ISG member and drifter who operates across the Andean corridor. Blending the predatory nomadism of Pedro López with the strategic intelligence and emotional detachment of Daniel Barbosa, she became infamous as one of South America’s most mysterious murderers. Unlike many female serial killers, Veronica targeted young girls, often from impoverished rural families, presenting herself as a benevolent traveler or teacher before luring them to isolation. Criminal psychologists noted that her gender and disarming demeanor made her one of the most effective predators of her time — combining maternal trust with predatory calculation.
