Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka Episode 2: National Lampoon's Murder Investigation

What happens when the line between sexual obsession, torture, and murder disappears completely?

In this episode of Torture: A Dark History, Kevin Young and Dan Hourigan continue the disturbing story of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka as their relationship becomes increasingly violent and their crimes take a horrifying turn.

We pick up with Bernardo walking into a police station and somehow walking back out less than an hour later, still a free man. From there, the abuse of Karla’s younger sister Tammy escalates into one of the most infamous crimes connected to the couple. We’ll follow the events surrounding Tammy’s death, the suspicious circumstances that initially allowed it to be treated as an accident, and the increasingly disturbing relationship between Paul and Karla.

Then we meet Jane, a 12 year old girl who Karla deliberately brings into their lives, and Leslie Mahaffy, the 14 year old girl whose disappearance finally turns the couple’s horrifying fantasy into murder.

We’ll follow the investigation, the discovery of Leslie’s remains, the bizarre attempt to hide the evidence, and the wedding and honeymoon that somehow took place while the couple was already at the center of a murder investigation.

And because this is Torture: A Dark History, Kevin and Dan bring their particularly uncomfortable brand of dark humor to one of the most disturbing chapters of the Bernardo and Homolka story.

If you love Canadian true crime, serial killers, criminal psychology, sexual predators, murder investigations, dark history, and some of the most horrifying crimes in Canadian history, this is where the story gets much, much darker.
