About This Program

Colombian Slasher is a programme presented as a single episode that follows a specialised investigation. The title points to a lethal mystery set in South America, and the format aligns with other factual‑style broadcasts that centre on a specific, real‑world enquiry. The episode tracks extreme angler Jeremy Wade as he journeys to Colombia in pursuit of a fish that locals claim was responsible for pulling a newly‑wed bride to her death in the Amazon. Wade’s mission is to locate the creature alleged to have dragged the honeymooning woman beneath the water, an incident that has sparked both fear and fascination among the communities along the river. Wade’s search is focused on identifying the particular species suspected of carrying out the fatal attack. He ventures into the remote waterways of the Amazon basin, where the environment is dense and the river stretches for hundreds of kilometres, providing the perfect backdrop for his quest. The investigation hinges on the belief that this fish possesses enough power to seize a human victim and drag them away. Throughout the programme, Wade applies his angling expertise to the case, methodically testing the idea that the fish could truly be capable of such a violent act. The narrative stays centred on the single mysterious fish and the tragic fate of the bride, offering a concise look at the evidence and local testimony surrounding the alleged incident.
