Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka Episode 3: Cream Colored Camaro

What happens when two people who have already gotten away with murder realize the police still have no idea who they are looking for?

In this episode of Torture: A Dark History, Kevin Young and Dan Hourigan bring the story of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka to its horrifying conclusion.

After the discovery of Leslie Mahaffy’s body, you might think the couple would finally keep their heads down. Instead, they become even more reckless. We follow their continued abuse, the kidnapping and murder of Kristen French, and the investigation that somehow manages to get almost everything about the killers wrong.

We’ll look at the bizarre police profiles, the mysterious gold Nissan, the infamous televised reenactment, and the tip that finally puts Bernardo back on the police radar. Then everything begins to unravel as Karla’s family discovers the truth about her marriage, Bernardo becomes the prime suspect in the Scarborough rapes, and investigators finally uncover the evidence that connects him to the murders.

From there, we get into Karla’s controversial plea deal, her testimony, the trial of Paul Bernardo, and the very different punishments handed down to the two people responsible for some of the most horrifying crimes in Canadian history.

And because this is Torture: A Dark History, Kevin and Dan bring their darkly uncomfortable humor to the final chapter of a story where almost every decision made by almost everyone involved somehow manages to make things worse.

If you love Canadian true crime, serial killers, criminal investigations, murder trials, police failures, criminal psychology, dark history, and some of the most disturbing crimes in Canadian history, this is the final chapter.
