Chapter 1: Who is Adolfo Constanzo?
This is the story of Adolfo Constanzo, the narco-satanist. This is one of the most effed up, brutal criminal cases in modern history. A drug trafficking cult led by El Padrino. These violent, brutal rituals, many of which involving human sacrifice. They're moving insane amounts of drugs, it's extremely violent, and they're making a ton of money.
So for these guys, they're like, hey, we can just sacrifice this person because we're already committing murder, and we can use this sacrifice to then protect ourselves. This is what they actually thought. Adolfo decided that the cult needed to sacrifice an American, believing that it would strengthen their rituals and protect the group from law enforcement, specifically in America.
So how does he get these people involved? How does he get the people to actually carry out these rituals? So let's go all the way back to the beginning. What's up, people, and welcome back to camp.

Doing good. What's up?
All right, all right, all right. So today we have a fascinating, morbid, and dark story that, I'll be honest, kind of freaked me out. If you know anything about me, I grew up very religious, and anything about Satanism or some type of human sacrifice of people for the benefit of the spirits, I don't like it.

Chapter 2: What rituals did Constanzo perform?
I don't like to get political or controversial on this show, but it makes me uncomfortable. And this is the story of Adolfo Constanzo. This is the narco-satanist of Matamoros in Mexico. So, our story begins in 1989 with the disappearance of a young American student named Mark Hilroy at age 21 when he was in spring break in Matamoros, Mexico.
And this would lead authorities to uncover one of the most... F the brutal criminal cases in modern history. The investigation exposed a drug trafficking cult led by Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo, a Cuban-American known as El Padrino. This is the godfather in English.
Constanzo's group blended elements of Palo Mayombe and other Afro-Caribbean religions, twisting them into these violent, brutal rituals, many of which...
involving human sacrifice the cult's activities which included murder and ritualistic mutilation of kilroy and others drew a ton of international attention and highlighted the dangers of criminal groups basically taking religion and religious imagery for their own ends so How did we get here? Let's go all the way back to the beginning, right?
Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo was born in 1962 in Miami, Florida, to Cuban immigrant parents. He was the eldest of several children from many different fathers and was raised Catholic. He got baptized, was an altar boy, but his mother, Delia Arroyo Gonzalez. She practiced Santeria and later became involved in Palo Mayombe. This is a Afro-Caribbean religious tradition with roots in West Africa.

Chapter 3: What happened to Mark Kilroy?
And after the death of her first husband, she moved to Puerto Rico, specifically San Juan, where she became more deeply involved in this Pablo Mayombe and introduced Adolfo to these practices, kind of blending them with their Catholic background. And while Santeria and Pablo Mayombe have their own spiritual and moral codes, Constanzo and his mother practiced them in ways that
vastly diverged from the mainstream tradition. So 1972, they've returned to Miami. And over those years, his mother got married three different times. Her last partner kind of shared similar beliefs, practicing occultism, and also happened to sell drugs. I mean, I feel like those things go hand in hand, you know what I mean? Like doing drugs and being just a straight up Satanist. Sorry, Satanist.
I shouldn't judge. I'm trying to be better. So Constanzo kind of was on his path, right? After leaving high school, his behavior grows more. and more criminal. Him and his mother get arrested several times for shoplifting, and he actually gets expelled from his high school for bad conduct. And instead of, you know, kind of fixing his path, he continues to practice what his mother had taught him.
She convinces him that he's special and that he actually has psychic abilities. To predict the future. So as a teenager, he befriended this Palo Mayombe priest who actually taught him these advanced rituals for success. So by 1980, with his newfound knowledge and connections, he offered his services as a black magician himself.
Chapter 4: How did police uncover the cult's activities?
And it wasn't until 1983 that friends told him about an amazing opportunity, this lucrative modeling opportunity in Mexico. So what does he do? He moves to the Zona Rosa in Mexico City, quickly finding, you know, prosperity and connections and some good success. And maybe the Palo Mayombe was paying off, right? Yeah.
So he was known as being kind of charismatic and pretty good looking and allegedly had some relationships with both men and women. So he sets up his own business, kind of offering protection and purification rituals that he Start to actually make him some good money. And not only does it bring him some money, it brings him connections.
So as the story goes, he starts attracting these high profile Mexican personalities. I mean, from politicians, actors, cartel members, police officers, everyone is now going to this guy in this town, in this part of Mexico City. to get his spiritual services. So during this time, he continues to immerse himself in satiria.
Chapter 5: What was Constanzo's fate?
His ambition for power leads him now to practice rituals involving sacrifice of animals, and then that slowly progresses to human sacrifice and even cannibalism. I mean, you're hearing me, right? Straight up eating human beings.
And still, his popularity grows so much that he actually travels across Mexico, including Matamoros and larger and larger cities throughout the country where he starts to associate with criminal organizations. And again, he offers them this type of spiritual protection in exchange for these massive sums of money. Soon, he establishes his operations in Matamoros.
So by the 80s, Constanzo's criminal activities escalate as he starts to perform these rituals involving human sacrifice for drug traffickers, because, again, these drug traffickers in the cartels at the time and, you know, even to this day. They're moving insane amounts of drugs. It's extremely violent and they're making a ton of money.
So for these guys, they're like, hey, we can just sacrifice this person because we're already committing murder and we can use this sacrifice to then protect ourselves. This is what they actually thought. So they're going to Constanzo to actually perform these black magic rituals for them. And he was even aided by different women that he was sleeping with.
Chapter 6: Are there current cartel activities similar to Constanzo's?
So Martin Quinta Rodriguez and Omar Orea Ochoa, who he had recruited in Mexico City. So in 1987, Constanzo orchestrates a staged meeting with a college student from Texas. This is insane how manipulative this guy is.
So this woman named Sarah Aldrete, this is just a girl that goes to college in Texas, and he basically nearly collides with her in his car, kind of making it look like this serendipitous moment. And from that moment, he starts to gradually draw her into his world, exploiting her connections to the Hernandez drug trafficking family.
Aldrete introduces Constanzo to Elio Hernandez, a cartel leader in the area, and he becomes Elio Hernandez's high priest, participating in rituals that include torture and murder. So how does he get these people involved? How does he get the people to actually carry out these rituals?
So new recruits, often men in their early 20s, were indoctrinated through hands-on participation in these violent ceremonies. So Constanzo claimed that his magic could make them invincible to law enforcement. He promised...
Basically, you know, by his alliances with corrupt federal police that nothing would ever happen if they went on with the torture and abuse and murder of these different people for the gods, for Satan, really.
So the cult's financing came from the drug profits and, you know, fees for these sort of occult spiritual practices with Constanzo flaunting wealth from, you know, luxury cars to gold jewelry to kind of legitimize that this was actually serving some type of spiritual power. So, in the following years, some events began to occur in Matamoros.
Police discovered eight bodies, mutilated, tortured, tied to cement blocks near a river. And they couldn't explain what had happened, but they were extremely disturbed by what they found. The cult set up operations at a place known as Rancho Santa Elena. This is a remote ranch outside of the city of Matamoros.
And it was there that they prepared this cauldron known in Palo Mayombe, known as Nganga. And this was used for protection against these evil spirits. And the ingredients that they used inside of this cauldron to create this elixir was a mix of wood and cigar parts and... animal pieces and human ribs and tibias and skulls with the brain still.
I mean, everything you could imagine as far as like an evil, evil satanic stew. And they believed that the brain was integral to creating this, you know, sort of concoction because it retained the human power, the life force of the victim that they took it from.
