not again and i do my makeup at the same time

i don’t really like to go into
graphic detail in my stories if you haven’t noticed
i just kind of like

things it’s just heavy it’s very very heavy i think
a lot of times we just want to hear the
story and not necessarily hear all the gruesome details
but with this
story it’s almost like you can’t
avoid some of the details
so i apologize in advance for how intense it is
but it just kind of involves everything this
story has been highly recommended
since day one
and i’ve been
avoiding it just because i felt like
and it’s been talked
about a million
trillion times like what else can i add to it
but you know i’m doing it for you guys because
you’ve been asking and honestly i had the
story so wrong i thought i knew this
story turns out i did not nene
other than that
i will shush my little
mouth and let’s get into
today’s story
today we’re talking
about paul bernardo and carla
homoka carla
was seventeen years old and a high
school student
she had a part time job working at a
local pet shop when she
first met paul bernardo
at this time paul bernardo
was 23 years old
and attending the
university of toronto
and he was studying to become an accountant
now it was said that he was doing well in
school and he was on his way to
graduate october
seventeenth nineteen eighty
seven carla was attending a pet food convention
in scarborough
scarborough
scarborough
toronto ontario
canada so mm hmm
so carla is working at this convention
they’re doing like pet food stuff ooh
and as the night
ended she and a coworker went down to the
hotel restaurant
to grab some food
so the two of
them they’re eating they’re sitting you know
and then that’s
when paul bernardo walks into the restaurant
now carla and
paul they made eye contact like when he walked in
and they they say
or it was said that it was just an instant
connection lust
at first sight
paul was over six feet tall
he was said to be an extremely good looking guy he was
quite charming
he approached carla and the two
started chatting
it up now the two of them
they just clicked
and the coworker that was with carla was like okay well
i guess i’ll be
going now you know
cause she saw that they were just hitting it off and
she didn’t wanna
get in the way of that so she takes off
carla and polly
end up sitting there at the restaurant just talking
about anything and
everything for hours
and when the restaurant closed
that’s when the two of them headed up to carla’s
hotel room where they involved in some
sexual relations
from my understanding the
age of consent in canada is sixteen years old so
not illegal but she
still you know there’s just
a big age difference and
still fairly
young but okay
so carla you know
she was just believing that paul was the man of her
dreams and the two made a very good looking couple
paul also told many
of his friends that you know it was just a
match made in heaven
that he had
found his soulmate
and how he would do anything for carla and carla
would do anything for him
now carla she was the oldest of
three daughters
and she was
well liked in
school she was pretty she was somewhat popular
and growing up she
lived in st catharines
in the province of ontario with her family in
school it was said that carla
had many boyfriends and many boys interested in her
but when she met paul it was all she could talk
about with her friends
you know he was a much older man
he was in college and like she
would just brag
often to her friends about paul
and they all just thought it was so cool
now paul he was the youngest of
three children
it was said that he was a
sweet kid and had a charming
smile but that he had a very difficult upbringing
or a difficult childhood
his mother was
verbally abusive
towards him and his siblings then when paul was 16 he
found out that the man he called dad was not his
biological father
now this was upsetting
and it broke all
trust he had with his parents
i don’t know because i read different things
some people say like it was an accident how he
found out and then some people say like his mom just
randomly like said it
when she was being
verbally abusive towards him
either way it just it really affected him
so again around the
age of 16 that’s when paul
began peeping
through the windows of his female neighbors
he would watch them as they undressed
and he would do this like at any chance he
could get he
would watch
women through
their open windows
so aka a peeping tom
but as he got older
peeping through
windows just wasn’t cutting it for him anymore
paul said that his
fantasies just
started to become darker and darker
and he would dream
about taking advantage
or just taking control over women
but at that
age she wasn’t acting on it just yet but it was like
starting to happen
so yay so in september of nineteen eighty
three that’s when paul
started studying at the
university of toronto in scarborough scarborough
come on bailey
scarborough
he’s studying
there his friends and the people who knew him
they really liked him he had
again this charm
about him he can make friends with anyone
and overall
everyone just thought paul’s a
great guy you know
just people wanted to be around him
often paul was seen as the life of the party
and if paul was at the
party then you knew was like it was
gonna be a good time
paul did have a few
girlfriends throughout college
things would always
start really well
it would be like this
picture perfect relationship
but then as time went on
the relationship or at
least their
sexual relationship
would turn more
abusive violent and sometimes controlling
and then at that point
is when the
women would
break it off
in the spring of 1988 a
sexual predator was roaming the streets in scarborough
by may there had been
seven different reports made by
women to the
local police
sharing their
their attacks
the local police they got on tv
and they were just warning
women who are watching
look there’s this predator he’s
still out on the streets
they were telling
women to not walk around out
night alone
to not stay out late
unless someone was with them and just
trying their best to warn everybody
whoever this attacker was
would grab women when they were leaving the bus stop at
night and were walking alone
some women were attacked when they were on
their evening run in the park
they’d be approached from behind
the person would
get them behind some bushes or kind of like in a little
secluded area
and that’s where they
would be assaulted
his victims were forced to perform
oral intercourse sodomy
and were sometimes beaten
afterwards it was
pretty intense and
pretty freaking scary
the first reports that were made
about this predator were just
not that it this is like not as bad it’s
still bad but it was just
about a man groping the victims
but then after
about a year went by was
still no suspect in custody
the attacks turned more violent
um the media gave this person the name the scarborough
rapist everybody in the city was just on high alert
many statements were made from witnesses
and the victims
but the police
could not seem
to get an accurate description of who this person was
because the
women had been
attacked from behind they really didn’t get a
clear shot of
their attacker’s face
all that they
could tell was that whoever this guy was
was a guy for
starters he was
young he was good looking and he had
light colored hair
so that didn’t really narrow it down too much but
that’s what they had to work with
now as time went on
police were able to collect about
a hundred different dna
samples from potential suspects but
so far like nothing was a match
that’s when
the toronto police had called in an fbi profiler
to help create a profile of who this guy was
so the profiler
analyzed the police reports
and was able to link
four more attacks to the
scarborough
rapist i’m so
sorry i keep butchering this name i’m
trying my best
but they linked four more attacks to this person
which brought the
total to eleven
victims so the fbi
analyst determined that the attacks were
anger based
and sadistic in nature
which was like a rare combination
but whoever this person was was very dangerous
now the profiler
they felt that this was a high functioning intelligent
psychopathic
sexually sadistic offender
and they believe that whoever it was
lived in the area most likely
in a family household
had to be in
their early 20s
and had to have violent relationships with
women so again
when paul and carla
first met in the fall of 1987
there had already been
three attacks linked to the scarborough rapist
now carla she
never suspected
paul could be the one linked to these
crimes because
their relationship seemed
picture perfect
paul would show up with flowers and he
would do this pretty often
he would give her
gifts at every chance he could
and he just
treated her really well
always thinking of carla
and just expressing how he wanted to
just be with her forever and take care of her
their relationship seemed to move
quickly but they were
infatuated with one another and they just couldn’t keep
their hands off of each
other so they had been dating for over 18
months and paul
would drive over 80
miles to st catharines
to visit carlos several times a week
now carla’s family they
they loved paul it was said
that they loved paul
they thought he was a
great catch he was well educated
um he was handsome
his life was on the
right track
they didn’t mind the
age difference
between the two they just thought
he was great
it sucks this is a side note
i think a lot of us have this
image of what we
think these
awful people look like
right we just think of
these monsters
these atrocious beings
right like ugh
but we need to get out of our heads that
these sickos look like
monsters they don’t look like
monsters they’re
attractive normal
you would never
guess type of people so
yeah i don’t
know what to do with that information though because it
sounded like there was no red flags with this guy
well yes there was i
think they were being okay we continue
in the spring of 1989 carla
graduated from high school
and was really now trying to plan what the next
chapter in her life was you know but when it came to
carla and paul like
their relationship
it went from carla telling her friends that you know
everything was
great and perfect
to now carla
telling her friends that paul was
becoming verbally abusive towards her
but soon after they
would have an argument carla
would forgive paul
and apologize for his
wrongdoings he
would maybe show up with a gift to show he was
sorry and then they would just
move on yeah so
things just kind of
we’re changing
in december of 1989
paul and carla
they went on a romantic getaway to the niagara falls
and that is where
paul got on one knee and proposed to carla
and she said yes
so carla went back home like all excited
and told her parents
that they were engaged
and the parents were thrilled
cause now they’re
gonna have paul like
their son in law
and he was such a
dream to them
at that time
so paul and carla decided to set
their wedding date
for the spring of nineteen ninety one
on may twenty
ninth nineteen ninety police released a
sketch of what they believe the scarborough
rapist look like
to the public
now when the
sketch was released it was on the
front pages of the papers
and so everybody was seeing it right
so friends of paul pernardo were like hey
have you seen this like it kind of looks like
paul a little bit if you squint
like it looks like paul
with this information
one of paul’s best friends actually
contacted toronto police
and said that the drawing looked just like
his friend paul bernardo so they make a note of this
and then by november of
1990 so a couple
months ago by
there were several people who had contacted police
saying that the
sketch looked just like
paul bernardo
so with this information the police find paul
they bring them in for questioning
and then they ask if they can get a dna
sample from him
which paul willingly
gave them the dna was sent over to be tested
but at this time they had hundreds upon hundreds
of dna samples waiting to be tested
so it sat on a shelf
with all the
other ones just waiting for its turn
a very very
unfortunate move
now it was said that at this time dna
testing was
still somewhat
new and the
technology was just a lot slower than it is today
so going through all of the dna was
gonna take some time
and it did take some goddamn time
way too much time so
after paul was questioned i don’t know if he got
freaked out or he just didn’t
he didn’t care
but he decided to move from scarborough
to st catherine’s to live with carla and her family and
now they thought carla and paul thought it
would be best to move in
with carla’s family because then they could save
money and then
once they had enough
money they could get a
place of their own
but it was kind of
funny because after paul
moved all of a
sudden all the
crimes stopped happening in scarborough and
seemed to pick up around
saint catherine’s
the family really did not
think paul could be
related to these
crimes in any way
they just really adored him
especially carla’s younger
sister 15 year old
tammy she looked up to paul as like
the older brother she
never had paul was developing very dark
urges towards
carla’s younger
sister tammy
it was said that you know he
would watch her undress from time to time all creepily
when she was unaware
so paul gave into his
urges and he told carla that
he really wanted something that carla couldn’t give him
and that thing was a virgin
he made carla
feel bad because you know she wasn’t a virgin
but the closest
thing to carla’s virginity
would be her younger sister
tammy’s virginity
so paul pressured
carla to let him have her virginity
and carla said that she wanted to please paul or he
would he would
leave her so
she and paul came up with a plan to
drug her younger
sister so paul
could have sex with her
yeah yep yeah
i told you the
story is disturbing okay
now this would be carla’s christmas present to paul
okay so december 23rd
1990 carla’s family went to bed
but carla and paul they asked tammy to stay up
and they could sneak some alcoholic beverages together
while everyone was asleep
so carla made the
drinks for everybody
she would end up
crushing up pills to put in tammy’s drink
now at this time
carla was working at a
veterinarian clinic
and she stole animal tranquilizers from there to use on
tammy now these pills
would knock anyone out
and karla thought like it
would be best to use these to keep her sister asleep
while paul raped her karla also soaked a rag in
halithane which is a general anaesthetic
she held it over her sister’s face
while paul raped her they also busted out a
video camera and recorded the entire thing
you know for christmas memories
sick now when paul was done
he told carla
it’s your turn your turn to assault your sister
which she did
and they also recorded on tape
now soon after
tammy began to
vomit and then she started to choke
so paul and carla they’re kinda
freaking out they quickly
dress her they hide the camera
and then they call an ambulance
so when the
paramedics arrive paul and carla told them that they
tried to revive
tammy after she passed out from
drinking but like
they don’t know
tammy ended up being
taken to the hospital
where she was
later pronounced dead
so one of the doctors that was examining
tammy noticed
a burn around her
mouth um where
carla was holding the hallow
thing soaked rag
she had like a burn around her mouth
carla and paul said that
it was rug burn on her face when they pulled her
they pulled her off the bed onto the
floor they’re
trying to revive her she she got rug burn on her face
and like that was a good enough answer for them
it was concluded that
tammy died of natural
causes at 15
she died of natural causes
so that makes sense
carla’s parents were devastated
but they honestly thought that her
death was just a
tragic accident
teenagers you know they just
experiment with drugs and alcohol so like
tammy must have just been
experimenting and she just took it too far
and it was like nothing more than that
which is just awful
it’s so sad
so a month goes by
carla and paul have
saved enough
money to get their own
place it’s a two
story home in port delhuzzi
it’s a small town near st catharines
it’s a cute little house too
well since been
knocked down but it was a cute house
that they just ruined
so when the two
moved into their own
place it said that’s when paul’s
abuse really went up a notch
he would jokingly tell carla that he was a scarborough
rapist and went from just being
verbally abusive
which is still
awful to now physically abusive towards carla
now when carla
would tell paul
that she was leaving him or she wanted to leave
he would threaten her saying that he was
gonna go to police and tell them
about her involvements in
tammy’s death
you know and he had the
video tapes to prove it
so if he was
gonna go down she was
gonna go down too
carla said that she felt like she really
couldn’t leave
june 15 1991
two weeks before carla
and paul’s wedding
paul came home with a surprise for carla
now you would
think like flowers or something but no
of course not
paul came home
with a 14 year old girl
named leslie mahaffey
paul said that
leslie was in her own backyard and
he pulled up in his car he offered the girl a cigarette
which was back in his car
and when she
approached the car she got in and then he kidnapped her
carla and paul
ended up holding her captive in their home
assaulting her repeatedly all
while recording the tax on
videotape so
after holding her captive for
about 24 hours the couple
ended up strangling her then dismembering her body
they took different parts
of her body
and they like
mixed it in with concrete blocks
then they dumped it into the local lake
lake gibson
they dumped it in there
on july 29th 1991
carla and paul that’s when they got
married in a ceremony
with over a hundred friends and family around
to celebrate
their special day but
on that very same day a fisherman came across
some of the body parts of the 14 year old victim
leslie mahaffey
and the lake
it was all over the news
people were just like
in the community
were just horrified like
it was it’s
i mean it is like such a
brutal what the heck
so it was just everywhere
so over the next year police looked for any clues into
who the teenagers killer could be
that’s when they brought in the same fbi profiler
from scarborough
rapist case
now at the time the fbi profiler he said
he had no reason to connect the two cases
which sounds
absolutely ridiculous
but he didn’t
so there was no
connection being made between the two
and they didn’t really have any leads either
so time went on and
you know paul and carla’s
life continued
as newlyweds
but of course like paul was just
probably i don’t really know
cause you know i don’t know but i’m
assuming he was probably
getting cocky because he’s like getting away with this
and he’s just wanting more he’s wanting more
cause he feels like he can get
away with it because he is getting away with it so paul
asked carla to get in
touch with some of
her sisters
tammy’s best friends
he was like hey get them on the phone
invite them over have them come over to the house
where then we can drug them the same way that we did to
tammy so over the next year carla
actually was able to get several
young women to go over
to not even
young women
young girls
to come over to the home
and hang out where they
would then drug and sexually assault them now
these victims
would survive
their attacks
they would wake up the next day having
no memory of the
night before
or of the assaults some of
these attacks were also caught on
videotape or they
videotaped it
and it was captain paul’s
growing collection
april 16th 1992
paul and carla went on a
drive on an afternoon cruise
but only with the intention of
bringing home a new sex
slave to keep
that’s when they spotted
15 year old kristin french
she was walking home from
school they
drive past her
and they pull into a church parking lot
like it was a little ways
ahead of her
and then they were just waiting for her to walk by
carla was sitting in the passenger
seat and she called out to christian asking like hey
can you help us with directions because like we’re lost
and carla was holding a map so it just it seemed legit
she walks up to the car and then that’s when kristen
was shoved into the car
and then the couple
drove off heading back to
their house
now it wasn’t long
until kristen
was reported
missing and then many witnesses
came forward
saying that they saw kristen
in the church parking lot
and she was
talking to a car that had two people inside of it
the witnesses
also reported seeing them
drive away in a beige camaro
so now that they had a description of the car
police started
searching heavily
for a beige camaro
now there were
tons of billboards put up or posted around
saying have you seen this car
have you seen this car
and then on the billboard there was a
picture of the beige camaro
but what they didn’t know
was that the eyewitness reports were actually incorrect
paul actually
drove a gold
colored nissan
not a camaro
i could see the confusion how that
could happen
but it still wasted a lot
of time because they were looking for a beige camaro
and you know it wasn’t a camaro was any song
so the media
started linking
the disappearance of chris and french to the murder of
leslie mahaffey
they were just like hey
these things
gotta be linked right
now the fbi profiler
i’m laughing because like
you just think he
would have made this
connection but he didn’t
the fbi profiler
described the suspect as being a
white male in
their late twenties
probably had a history of
sexually violent
crimes a history of domestic violence
someone who was most likely violent in
their personal relationships
kind of like the scarborough
rapist but still no
connection was being made
paul and carla
ended up keeping kristen
french for several
several days
they videotaped
her assaults
just to add to
their growing collection
and then when
paul was satisfied that’s when they strangled and
they killed her
on april 30th 1992
kristen’s body was
found more than 30
miles away in burlington
and it was left in a
ditch not far from the
local cemetery
just all around
awful and then
in january of 1993
paul ended up beating carla up
like so bad to the
point that she went to the
local emergency room to receive
treatment paul had attacked her with
a torch and he
ended up giving her two really bad like
black eyes a broken rib
and severe bruising
after two years of
marriage it was at this
point that carla decided
to leave paul
now around this same time
finally paul’s
dna was being submitted and tested for the scarborough
rapist case
his dna was positively
identified as the man responsible for
these attacks so police
finally are connecting the two
the murders in st catharines
they finally had
their person
so before going straight to paul
police actually they
reach out to carla
and they wanted to like create a
wedge in the relationship
knowing that they
could probably get more information from carla
now carla thought
that she was being called into question
to be questioned
about the domestic assault
but after the interview with police
carla went back to her family home and she ended up
breaking down
she confessed
to everything
carla was afraid
that the police they already knew what she
what she was involved with
or at least the police were
close to uncovering the truth
and she wanted to tell her parents before
you know shit hit the fan
i’m sure her parents were like devastated
i mean i don’t even know i don’t even know but
her parents suggested that she hired a lawyer
which carla
ended up doing
so she told
her lawyer that paul was indeed the scarporough
rapist and also
admitted to being involved in the two
local murders
and the death of her own
sister carla
would end up
agreeing to testify
against paul in court
in exchange for a reduced sentence
for herself so police end up
agreeing to this
and then carla
sits down with police and gives them a full
confession the
great debate
around this
well there’s a lot of
great debates around this
story but one of them is like carla’s involvement okay
she told police you know that
she was a victim and
stuff and paul
like forced her to do this and what not
i saw clips
of her being questioned by police and let me just say
i think she’s like new
she’s a little
smarter than she let on
because when she goes to like
be questioned by police
first of all she’s
dressed like a very innocent little
school girl
okay which is fine like that’s that’s fine
but that’s not normally how she won
dress okay so she
was trying to play up this like i’m so innocent thing
and then she
would answer
all of her questions just very like very innocent
she like then he
chopped her up
and i just was so scared
yeah so i was just there
like that’s how she talks the
whole time okay so
after paul gets arrested
which i’m kind of jumping here but pockets arrested
and then they
asked carla to go around
their house
and show like
where paul did
things at like describe in detail
where things took place
i’m not kidding she takes them into the bathroom
the police and all them
she’s like this is
where we put
her and then we we bathed her in the bathtub
and then we just remembered her
and then she turns around to like
where the kitchens not the
kitchen the bathroom sink and all that sad she’s like
can i ask you guys something
where did all of my perfumes go i had a
bunch of perfume
samples in here and i’m just wondering
where they all went
because the detectives took
everything and i don’t know where my
stuff went and you’re just like girl
read the room
you just talked
about dismembering a girl and you’re wondering
where your perfumes at like it was just like
okay and then she
doesn’t really
show a lot of emotion but then the moment she talks
about one of the
victims came over
paul like took out really expensive
um champagne
flutes is that what they’re called like the
glasses that you put in champagne
and you could just see all of a
sudden she just her motion comes out over
these these
glasses that
paul decided to use to drug the girls with
so she was like
those glasses
they were from
france and they were very expensive and we
never used them
they were only for a special occasion
and i was so
mad and like she’s getting all worked up over paul’s
choice of glasses that he used
and like that’s
one of the only times you see her like getting
worked up over something and you’re like okay girl
this isn’t make okay
okay and then like it just keeps happening
because then she’s like describing
again like what’s what happened and then she’s like
can i ask you something
do you know
where all of my furniture
went because they just came and they took all of the
furniture and i’m just wondering
where they went with my
furniture can i get it back
do you not understand like what’s
happening right now like
hello and then another one
they were in like the basement she sees a book
on the ground she goes
excuse me can i have this book because my
sister really wants it she’s been asking
about this book and i’m just wondering if i
could take this book
and that’s like the only time that you get
these little snippets of like hmm
hmm hmm hmm
huh so carla kept telling police
that paul forced her
to participate in all of the attacks
against her will carla also told police that there were
videotapes in the
house that would have
everything they needed because
everything was recorded so she’s like you have to get
those tapes they’re in the house
on february
seventeenth nineteen ninety three
that’s when paul bernardo was arrested
they began searching the home
their goal being to find
those tapes because that was
gonna be their smoking gun
they would end up spending
seventy one days
searching the home but the police
could not locate these video tapes which
karla claim showed the attacks
now without these tapes they had no direct evidence
that linked paul
to the crimes so they arranged the plea
agreement with karla
because they’re heavily relying on her to
give her testimony
that’s what’s gonna put paul behind bars
and in exchange carla
would receive a reduced sentence for her involvement
which this deal was kept
secret from the public and that caused
a whole upset
on june 28th 1993 carla appeared in court
for her involvement with the
crimes and the
court put a publication ban on her
trial which was very unlikely of the courts to do
this caused a huge upset with the
media and the
public was angered because
their right to know was being denied
and this was a really
really big case so people are just trying to figure out
what happened
oh and by the way i forgot to mention like
correct me if i’m
wrong here but from my
understanding it was the us
who gave them the
title the ken and barbie killers like they
would you know
because of their good looks
like oh my god they’re so good looking how
could they be killers
so carla was convicted
on manslaughter
charges and she
ended up receiving a 12 year sentence
which again
caused a lot of
upset the plea
agreement was said to be kept a
secret in order to make sure that paul had a fair trial
so carla was sent to prison
and then on august 2
1993 she ended up filing for divorce from
paul on may 18 1995
paul’s trial
began paul pleaded not guilty
on nine charges and
connections with the
deaths of leslie and kristen
including kidnapping
unlawful confinement aggravated
sexual assault
and murder the prosecutors had
presented new evidence during
trial that was not
known about
they ended up finding the
videotapes in the couple’s home
i know it was
kinda like a surprise i don’t know where they
found it or like
where i don’t know i didn’t
they found it though i
think that’s great
now this was the
first time that they had
direct evidence
against paul but also
carla as well
now these tapes revealed a
completely different version of events
and they felt that carla had
completely misled
authorities
because on the tapes carla was seen
fully participating
in the attacks had the tape surfaced
sooner or earlier
it most likely
would have affected her plea
deal so paul’s team was like ah shit like
but they got the tapes you know but they’re like
yeah paul’s on the tapes but they
never show him murdering anyone you know
paul instead was like it wasn’t me who murdered
them i was not the killer it was actually carla
who murdered the victims
on june 19 1995
carla testified
against paul
and that’s where she stated that she was also a
victim to paul
and he was the mastermind
behind it all
when carla was
asked about the
video tapes
she said that she suffered from battered
spouse syndrome
and that was her reasoning many
believe that yes she was indeed abused by paul but she
could not be
classified as
a person suffering from battered
spouse syndrome
when talking
about battered
spouse syndrome
they’re mainly talking
about people who are
suffering from tremendous
psychological abuse
these tapes showed
that carla was more of an accomplice in the horrible
crimes versus
a victim the
judge allowed the jurors
to watch the
videotapes and only
allowed the public to listen to them but not view it
they didn’t want to put the family through more
grief by viewing
these tapes because of just how
awful they were
pulse trial lasted
months at the end of it
the jury deliberated for five hours
then on september 1st 1995
31 year old paul bernardo was
found guilty
of all nine charges
against him
including the two murders
paul was sentenced to life in prison
while paul is sitting in prison
he also confessed to 14
more sexual assaults of
women in the scarborough area
and the judge
declared him
just a dangerous offender
which will most likely keep him in prison
without the chance of parole
for the rest of his life
cause he does have a possibility of parole
after like 25 years i believe
but let’s hope that he does not get out because it
sounds like
he would do it again
like come on
so the great debate around this case
was if carla got off way too easily
many believe that carla was just as sick
if not more sick than paul was
now whatever was on
these tapes showed a
completely different
side of carla but also just a different
story i didn’t see them
i don’t want
to see them so i didn’t look it up but just
based off of what i was hearing
from interviews with the police department and
stuff and jurors
it was really bad
carla seemed
thrilled to be there
do you know what i’m saying
carla’s plea
deal became
known as one of the
worst in a canadian history
the following year an investigation was done
on the investigation into paul
and carla’s case as to why they fell through the cracks
and how this could
be prevented in the future
i guess since then
they have tried to
implement a new
system for tracking serial predators
improving communication between police departments
and hoping to
never have a
case like this go unsolved for as long as it did
so then on july 4th
2005 35 year old carla
was released from prison
having served just 12 years behind bars
now carla couldn’t go back to st catharines
okay she was not welcome there so instead she
moved to montreal and
started a new life there
carla said that she
still had nightmares
about the girls and felt
great remorse
for what she did
and then she also went to the
courts and hopes to get a name change
but she was denied the right
changing her name
because she
is a public figure so
she wasn’t allowed to do that
so over the years she remarried and she went on to have
three kids of her own
from what i
could find as of 2020
it was said that she no longer lives with her children
or husband and there was a period of time
where she was like a volunteer at
a primary school
and like that
caused obviously
a lot of outrage because she was working with kids or
young adults
and like nobody did a
background check and
maybe thought
that’s not a good fit
it seems like wherever she goes
she’s just not welcome
anywhere she goes
i mean for a good reason
i personally believe that carla yeah she
should have been locked up for a lot longer
okay and like even
cause okay so i went to the
museum of death in los angeles
and they have
their personal
photos there
on display you can go there and oh it’s just
be prepared you go there and they have all the
photos and this was like before i really even knew much
about the case but this
image has been burned into my brain
because it’s carla like smiling all big and
she’s holding up she’s like holding up someone’s head
she’s like she just was
excited but yeah i
think she should have
spent a lot more time behind bars
i mean she killed her own damn
sister the hell i forgot
about that yeah girl no
no no mmm out out
go and that my friends is the
awful story
about paul bernardo and carla homolka
um thank you for recommending this
awful story you
happy do you
think that carla
should be in prison for a lot longer that’s
hot debates
love and appreciate you guys i hope you have a
great day you make good choices
and i’ll be
seeing you guys later bye
