May 5, 2002 - Lucho Plátano
Within a span of roughly eight months, he carried out four murders in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, a spree that culminated in the killing of a police commissioner and prompted Chilean courts to declare him the country's most wanted fugitive. The targeting of a senior law enforcement official distinguished his case from typical criminal proceedings and drew sustained national attention. He was eventually captured and imprisoned, having committed his first murder at nineteen.
