Pedro Padilla Flores  Ramiro Adame López (born in the 1970s), also known by many other aliases, is a Mexican serial killer who killed at least three women in Ciudad Juárez. He is known as the Rio Bravo Assassin, alluding to his motive. He was captured and sentenced to prison time for three murders in 1986, but he escaped in 1990 and after remaining a fugitive from justice, he was recaptured in New Mexico and deported from the US back to Ciudad Juárez. On January 24, 2014 he was delivered halfway through the Reforma International Bridge, from Lerdo Avenue by ICE agents to agens from the Mexican Ministerial Police. Currently, he is one of the main suspects in the unsolved femincides in Ciudad Juárez. He was a disorganized, sedentary, hedonistic murderer motivated by sexual compulsion and predatory behaviour. Padilla lived in the Mariscal district of downtown Juárez as a regular drug addict. In 1986, the bodies of young women began to appear on the banks of the Rio Grande, representing one of the first feminicides reported in Ciudad Juárez. The women, some of them underage, showed signs of sexual abuse and were killed by strangulation. Pedro Padilla used to follow his victims to deserted places where he subdued and raped them, choking them with his bare hands, supposedly this was done to make the vagina contract during the violation. Quite possibly, Flores committed the crimes under the influence of drugs. According to Joel Norris, drug use is frequent during the first behavioural phase of a serial killer, in which they distance themselves from reality. Padilla was captured in 1986, by the Second Commander of the Judicial Police of the state of Chihuahua, Felipe Pando. Pedro Padilla Flores confessed to 30 murders but only 3 could be proven: two of women and one of a 13-year-old girl. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, but was held for only 4 years in the Social Rehabilitation Center of Ciudad Juárez, and since his escape from prison in 1990 in what represents one of largest cases of police negligence and incompetence in Mexico, but was arrested in the US by ICE agents and handed over to the Mexican authorities on January 24, 2014 to be tried for the pending crimes. In 1992, the murders of women in Juárez began again. For Felipe Pando, Flores remains the main suspect:Although Pando has one of the worst reputations within the border police, with several complaints of torture and forced confessions, it is undeniable that many of the recent crimes against women in Juárez correspond to the pattern and modus operandi of Padilla Flores.
