Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Part Two of the Many Tentacled Enigma of Karla Homolka!

Like last week, today Matthew is joined by the lovely Cassandra, aka Malformed Malcontent, Christa will be back with us next week.

As we examine the complicity of Karla Homolka in the notorious Ken and Barbie abductions, murders and rapes, we’ve studied her ancestry and childhood, catching glimpses of the monster that she’d become sprout from a strange Barbie-obsessed child who was a compulsive liar with a morbid cruel streak, to a gifted student with an IQ of 134, and go from a Goth, death-obsessed rebel teen, into a preppy, wannabe yuppie young woman whose blooming hybristophilia and nymphomania led to a passionate love affair with sexual sadist and rapist Paul Bernardo.

The relationship, a perfect storm of psychopathy and sexual deviance, led to the death of Karla’s sister, whom she offered up as a Christmas present to her new boyfriend, as well as the abduction, brutal torture and murder of fourteen-year-old Leslie Mahaffy. Today we watch as Karla spreads her tentacles, the enigma taking on more forms, the next of which will be loving wife, as the Ken and Barbie killers, Karla and Paul, head to the wedding chapel.

Buckle up, keep your hands and feet in the ride, it's about to get very, very crazy and dark.
