Adolfo and His Cauldron of Blood

Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo was born in Miami on November 1, 1962. He was the younger of two sons to a teenage Cuban immigrant and was still an infant when his father died. Having been widowed, the family moved to Puerto Rico where Adolfo’s mother quickly found a new man and remarried. Shortly after he was baptised Roman Catholic and even served as an altar boy for a time, supposedly accepting the standards of the Roman Catholic faith. When he was 10 the family moved back to Miami and a year later he would lose his stepfather also; but to their advantage this left them well off financially.
