In 2016, the name of Gustavo Porta-Cuesta Fuentes echoed throughout Guatemala's influent ears. A 31-year-old man, a civilian and high-ranking public official, was accused of serial murder. The brutality of his actions shocked his peers, with more than a dozen bodies found buried in the vast backyard of his home on the Guatemalan coast. The victims? Young women, whose tragic fates would remain hushed up by the political power and corruption that covered up the case.
His actions, however, could not be kept secret for long, and he was finally arrested, sentenced to death and awaiting execution by hanging, which was scheduled for 2022. As Porta-Cuesta held a high position in the government, the case was hushed up and all records disappeared, with nothing leaking to the media. Even his name was erased. Therefore, there is no information left on the web about this case.
But, in the middle of 2024, I received a folder containing several sound recordings, whose origins went back to Porta-Cuesta. The strangest thing: these recordings had nothing or little to do with the crimes itself, but rather with his other identity – that of an experimental musician. Under the pseudonym "LFC", Porta-Cuesta recorded albums of experimental music that, until then, were unknown to the public.
These recordings are disturbing, defying the conventions of traditional music and delving into unsettling territories that echo the chaos and darkness of his own life.
Although details about the original case have been erased, and even Porta-Cuesta's name has disappeared from official records, these recordings offer a window into the troubled mind of a serial killer who, it seems, was also trying to express his anguish in a completely different way.
I am making the file available on the internet.
The download is free and clean. The material is very strange, listen at your own risk.

I found this old article from Reuters somewhere on the wayback machine (the article is longer but there's a 2000 word limit here):
Coastal Official Arrested in Shocking Serial Murder Case
June 14, 2016 — Guatemala City
In a case that has sent shockwaves through Guatemala’s political and social elite, authorities have arrested 31-year-old public official Gustavo Porta-Cuesta Fuentes on charges of serial murder, following the discovery of multiple bodies buried on his coastal property.
Porta-Cuesta Fuentes, a civilian figure with considerable influence in government circles, had long maintained a reputation as a rising administrative force. That image collapsed abruptly this week when investigators, acting on an anonymous tip, uncovered what officials describe as a “clandestine burial ground” in the expansive backyard of his private residence along Guatemala’s southern coast.
According to preliminary reports, more than a dozen bodies have been exhumed so far. Authorities believe the victims are predominantly young women, though formal identification efforts are ongoing. Forensic teams continue to search the property, raising concerns that the total number of victims may increase.
“This is one of the most disturbing cases we have encountered in recent memory,” said a spokesperson for the national police. “The scale, the method, and the apparent attempt to conceal these crimes over a prolonged period suggest a level of premeditation that is deeply alarming.”
