174. The Rainbow Maniac aka "Brazil's Most Infamous Gay Serial Killer"

Thirteen men walked into the woods of Paturis Park seeking a moment of freedom, only to be met by a predator who treated their lives like a "social cleansing." In a case where the justice system's silence was as deafening as the gunshots, the line between the hunters and the law began to blur.

From 2007 to 2008, the busy suburbs of São Paulo were haunted by a serial killer who specifically targeted gay and bisexual men in their most vulnerable sanctuaries. This chilling gay murder case exposed the deep-rooted "impunity" within the Brazilian legal system, where victims were blamed for their own deaths and the investigation was sabotaged by systemic bias. Join us as we track the hunt for the Rainbow Maniac, explore the high-stakes DHPP investigation into a retired military officer, and examine one of the most prolific unsolved LGBTQ+ mysteries in true crime history. This episode dives deep into a queer history of survival and the 2011 trial that left an entire community demanding justice.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ true crime from a perspective you won't find anywhere else.
