The Ken And Barbie Killers [True Crime Documentary]

Karla Homolka, 17, and Paul Bernardo, 23, better known as the Ken and Barbie Killers, first met in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, in October 1987. Bernardo had already started his rape spree back in May. They were so drawn to each other that they had sex within hours of meeting.

Two days before Christmas a year later, the couple drugged and assaulted Homolka's younger sister, Tammy, in the basement of her family's house. Homolka gave Bernardo this as a Christmas gift because she couldn't give him her virginity since she had lost it before they met. Tammy died by coughing on her own vomit as a result of the medication, but her death was considered an accident.

Bernardo kidnapped and killed Leslie Mahaffy on June 15, 1991, and her dismembered body is discovered a few days later on June 29, 1991, the same day the killers marry. Kristen French, the third teenager, was kidnapped on April 16, 1992, and her nude body was discovered four days later on April 30th. She died as a result of strangulation.

Bernardo was not charged with being the Scarborough rapist until February of 1993. More evidence linking the two of them to the murders was discovered, and Homolka agreed to a plea deal, and both of them are charged with the murders of the three girls. In June of 1993, Homolka was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Homolka testified against Bernardo in court after the couple divorced in 1994. Bernardo was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in 1995.

Homolka is now out of prison and has three children. She and her second husband are currently residing in Quebec, after spending many years in the Caribbean following Homolka's release. Bernardo, meanwhile, has filed for parole in Toronto, Canada. At the same time, it was revealed that he was planning to marry a Toronto woman whom he had charmed through letters written in his cell. It's unclear if the wedding arrangements are still on.
