Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka [1]

[Part 1 of 2] They call them the Ken and Barbie killers. The perpetrators of one of Canada’s most heinous and notorious crime sprees. They were a good-looking couple and seemed to have it all… but behind the mask was a cesspool of depravity and evil. This story is about Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, a couple of sexual sadists who terrorized the Greater Toronto and Niagara areas in the late 80s and early 90. Part 1 details their childhoods - explaining how they came to be Canada's most notorious couple, how they met, and the Scarborough Rapist attacks. 

The Canadian True Crime podcast is hosted by Kristi, an Aussie true crime fanatic who lives in Canada and is a proud Canadian citizen.
