The Woman No One Suspected Was A Serial Killer In The Making
Her sister died on Christmas Eve. Then came the Deal.
Karla Homolka had everything going for her. Young, bright, and headed for a career with animals, she looked like the girl next door. Then, in October 1987, she met Paul Bernardo.
What Karla did not know, or perhaps chose not to know, was that her charming new boyfriend was already hiding a secret. Police would later sit him down as a suspect in a string of attacks terrorising Toronto, then let him go after just thirty-five minutes.
Then came Christmas Eve, 1990. Karla’s fifteen-year-old sister Tammy died in the family home, and for years, everyone believed it was a tragic accident. It was not.
Two more teenage girls would follow, along with a lavish wedding and a police visit that went nowhere. When the marriage finally cracked in 1993, Karla made a choice that would shock an entire country. She turned on the man she had helped, and struck a deal.
Twelve years. That was the price. But videotapes hidden in her own home would soon show the world exactly who Karla Homolka really was, and by the time anyone watched them, it was too late. Who hid them, and why? And how did she end up with so little?
