The carribean also has strict immigration laws and someone somewhere in one of their Embassies will be alert and am 100% sure recognise her name, she wont be able to live a normal life, she has caused too much hurt and anger amongst the victims familes.
It all will catch up on her, life has a strange way of making people pay for the harm they do in their lives.

This evil woman comes from french speaking Canada?
St.lucia is a french speaking community, Martinique as well.

Poor Karla or Leanne or whatever she chooses to call herself next. Her true identity and her gruesome past will follow her regardless of where she lives. She gets no sympathy from me and deserves to be haunted and hunted whereever she goes.

oh dont you worry, the canadian authorities would have sent a warning to the carribean authorities, at least thats how it usually works in this world nowadays, plus dont forget that the internet nowadays also helps to let the world know.

Haiti I think

Karla or Leanne, anyways that thing, had this baby with a guy named Bordeleau. That was her lawyer's name in Montreal. Her lawyer was a black woman who spoke french. My guess is she now lives in Haiti. Pretty easy life for a peadophile, a child murderer, a rapist , a purse stealer. I am totally disgusted with the canadian judicial system. It makes me puke.

Actually, Karla was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. She lived in Montreal after her release from prison.

Well, wherever she was born she made a horrible mess of it and wasn't content until she killed.

Tempus fugit? It certainly does, especially with killers to help it along.

I thought people with criminal records where not allowed to get passports. I hope the Carribean immigration sends the psycho right back to Canada. She doesn't deserve to be able to run from her past.


Her poor kid, not only is his mother a child rapist/killer but his father is an idiot. Hopefully he doesn't grow up to be anything like either of them.

Flamming Mad Long Live Big Brother: Rfid Tags For Karla

In spite of my usual tendency to support near-anarchy and my desire to keep the government out of our personal freedoms this is one of the few things that causes me to go to the other side: waa-aaaay, waaaaa-aaaay over. Karla/Leanne and every other predator that is released back into society should have an RFID chip implanted. The requirement that sex offenders register in their town of residence, for example, is essentially based on the honor system. I don't think I need to elaborate on the oxy-moronic theory behind that. I say tag them, just like the animals they are. As for Karla's rights. . .it's hard to comprehend why even let her live to begin with. She gave up any rights she had when she gave up her humanity.

Wow, this explains a lot, her marriage and such. I am thinking she thinks her baby will be safest in the carribean.

I hope she is driven MAD thinking of her OWN child in the clutches of a couple of barbie doll killers.

Mamamia you're right, my mistake, his name is Bordelais and her lawyer's name was Sylvie Bordelais. They met through that lawyer. Brother ? cousin ? Anyways, I'm still convinced she's in Haiti.

Family Snapshot, you are right, and I see no "honor" in the case of Karla Homolka. IMO, she should have remained incarcerated for life.

Siberia's a good place. I don't know why Karla was allowed to live at all, after what she did. And I say that even though I disagree with the death penalty on principle.

I hope she doesn't get off Scott free from recognition and become popular. At least, I hope she's too tired, fighting off mosquitoes and changing diapers, to be throwing any lavish parties.

I remember when this whole story unfolded years ago. I believe that Karla was potentially more involved in the planning of the rapes and murders more than Paul. Her sister's death was more than likely an accident in the sense that Karla did not know what she was doing with the drug. After that I think it was either her idea or something they both agreed on jointly. I don't buy the "battered woman" thing in this case at all.

Paul was the Scarborough rapist before he became involved with Karla, so it's likely that the idea to rape and eventually murder came from him. He wanted Karla's little sister and Karla, not wanting to lose Paul, arranged to give her sister's virginity to Paul for Christmas. When Karla's sister died she had chemical burn marks on her face, but that was not investigated at the time.

Karla's lesbian love taught her to speak French in prison.

Karla was involved in the rapes and murders of all their victims, but once the plea deal was agreed to, the police did not insist that Karla keep up her end of the deal. There was a teenager on the tapes that was raped and Karla was involved. She had agreed to full disclosure in exchange for a light sentence, but she kept that rape quiet.

Hard har har

I see Karla is Serial Killer of the Month. I think it's good to take some time and remember Karla, if for no other reason than that she doesn't like it.

Question

I'm visually impaired, and I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me. I've heard people comment that Karla looks different now than she did before she went to prison. Can someone describe for me what she looks like in her most recent photos, as compared with, say, her wedding pictures? Thanks.

She's actually a very attractive blonde. She was always a pretty girl and age hasn't hurt her at all. JMO.

My dh told me about the Bernardo's as he is Canadian and I'd never heard of them before. Then he bought me a couple books about them. Then the next thing you know, I'm hooked on true crime stories. So I totally blame my addiction on dh.

LOL I blame my mom. She introduced me to mysteries when I was very young. We sure have a lot of true life mysteries going on. I find the Karla/Paul story pretty darn sick. I can still not accept she did that to her sister. IMO

Hi Sarasidle,

I blame James Patterson for all of his Alex Cross and Womens Murder Club books..........Reading can take you to places you never thought you would go.....Ha!
Me too Karin. Me too. I love Patterson

I discovered Patterson after I was already hooked but I do enjoy his books.

Did anyone see the Karla movie? What was your take on it? I found some of it obviously enhanced for the veiwing audience but there were some parts that really bothered me because they were so similar to what I had read about the crimes and just the thought of them being so cruel and uncaring to their victims.

Rukus about news coverage before and during the trial

If I remember correctly there was a news blackout in Canada about the details of this case, not so much to ensure fair trials, but to spare relatives of the victims. I THINK some of them were pubished in the US, and that at least once someone in the States stood just south of the border and read the articles with a bullhorn so people on the other side could hear them.

It also seems to me that the infamous tapes were eventually used during the trials, but the monitor was set up in such a way that only the jury, attorneys, and judge could see it.

I believe you are correct on both counts Roger. IMO

They destroyed the tapes after the trials and since none have resurfaced I'm assuming either all were destroyed or maybe some haven't even been found.

Even around here where I'm at (which is a few hours from where the girls were killed) most people won't even discuss this case except to say that Karla should never have been released. They are still very angry about that.

When we got the movie we bought it from the US because they wouldn't allow it around here for the longest time. It only recently (within the past 3 months) became available in a local video rental place.

In a way I understand why the "powers that be", and especially the families, want this case kept to minimum publicity but, it also makes me wonder if there is more information the "powers that be" have or had, that the public doesn't know about...


jmo of course

I remember in the beginning how hush hush Canada was but you know I actually thought it was worse than it really was. And I was surprised to see a book about it for sale here. It is hard for me to understand they destroyed the tapes but I am sure they had their reasons. I agree that Karla should not have been released but that is in the past. IMO

grneyes do you remember the mother who killed her 13 yr old daughter in Canada and they found the girl's body by the water?
