The shocking true story of Mexico's most infamous female serial killer.

Juana Barraza lived two lives. By day, she was La Dama del Silencio, a masked wrestler admired for her strength and presence in Mexico's vibrant lucha libre rings. By night, she became La Mataviejitas, the "Little Old Lady Killer" who stalked and strangled elderly women across Mexico City.

Beneath the Lucha Mask: The Juana Barraza Story uncovers the haunting truth behind the mask: a childhood scarred by betrayal, a mother's devastating cruelty, years of poverty and struggle, and a chilling descent into murder. From her shocking arrest to her sensational trial, this gripping biography reveals the woman who defied gender stereotypes, baffled authorities, and terrorized a nation.
