Ep 3. Invisible Executioner

In this episode of River Monsters, host and extreme angler Jeremy Wade sets out to investigate a series of bizarre and chilling deaths that have occurred along the banks of the Paraná River in South America. The killings have been dubbed the "Invisible Executioner" attacks, because the victims have all been found with mysterious injuries and puncture marks, but no apparent cause of death.

Wade begins his investigation by consulting with local fishermen and experts, who believe that the attacks may be linked to a legendary river creature known as the la lancha. Described as a large, eel-like fish with razor-sharp teeth and an aggressive temperament, the la lancha is said to be one of the most feared predators in the Paraná River.

Despite the warnings, Wade sets out on a perilous quest to catch one of these elusive creatures, armed with nothing but his fishing equipment and his years of experience. With the help of his guide, he ventures deep into the heart of the Paraná to explore the la lancha's natural habitat, searching for clues about the creature's behavior and hunting patterns.

As he navigates the treacherous waters of the river, Wade faces a series of challenges, including dangerous rapids, dense jungle foliage, and unexpected obstacles. He also encounters a number of other dangerous creatures that inhabit the river, including piranhas, caimans, and electric eels, all of which pose a threat to his safety.

Despite the risks, Wade perseveres in his pursuit of the la lancha, determined to solve the mystery of the Invisible Executioner once and for all. Along the way, he gathers evidence and interviews witnesses, piecing together a complex and disturbing picture of the predator's behavior.

Ultimately, Wade's quest leads him to a stunning discovery that sheds new light on the la lancha and its role in the brutal attacks along the Paraná River. With his trademark blend of curiosity, courage, and insight, he uncovers a hidden world of river monsters that few have ever seen, and offers a chilling glimpse into the depths of the unknown.
