Gregorio "Goyo" Cárdenas Hernández, born in 1915 in Mexico City and deceased on August 2, 1999, in Los Angeles, is a notorious figure in the annals of criminal history in Mexico. Known infamously as the "Strangler of Tacuba," he holds the grim distinction of being the first multiple murderer in Mexico to gain widespread media attention, eventually becoming a national celebrity of sorts.

Early Life and Background

Goyo, as he was commonly known, had a childhood and early life that seemed unremarkable at first glance. However, beneath the surface, there were complexities that would later manifest in his criminal activities. His upbringing, familial relationships, and early behaviors provide insights into his psychological development.

The Crimes

The series of events that led Cárdenas to infamy began in the 1940s in Tacuba, a neighborhood in Mexico City. His modus operandi, victim selection, and the execution of his crimes were chillingly methodical, marking him as a predator of the worst kind. The nature of his crimes, particularly the strangulation of his victims, earned him the macabre moniker "Strangler of Tacuba."
