Richard Choque – The Predator Who Hunted in Plain Sight
Richard Choque’s name sends chills down Bolivia’s spine.
He was not just a criminal. He was a master manipulator.
He used Facebook to lure women into his trap.
He posed as a police officer online.
Young women trusted him.
That trust turned deadly.
According to investigators, Choque is linked to dozens of disappearances.
Some say he murdered at least 17 women.
Others believe the number could be far higher.
Before these murders, Choque had already been convicted of killing a woman in 2013.
He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

A System That Failed
Choque’s freedom was a failure of Bolivia’s justice system.

Families of the missing demanded answers.
Protests filled the streets.
Bolivian authorities were forced to act.
Choque was arrested again in 2022.
This time, the evidence was overwhelming.
The Legacy of Fear
