Tammys Death
Tammy
- December 23, 1990,
- Bernardo and Homolka gave Tammy an alcoholic drink spiked with halcyon.
- Homolka held a cloth soaked in Halothane to her younger sisters mouth.
- When Tammy became unconscious the couple raped her. During the rape Tammy began choking on her own vomit and died.
- Before calling 911, the couple redressed her, & brought her back in her basement bedroom.
- The drugs in Tammy's system went undetected although there was a chemical burn on her face. Her death was officially ruled an accident.
- blamed the death on Tammy and was unpleased because he no longer had her around to fulfill his sexual pleasures.
- Homolka, still willing to do anything for him, sought out to find a replacement.
- She decided that a teenager by the name of Jane would do the job. She was a virgin and young & seemed to look up to Homolka, so she invited her out to dinner, spiked her drink the same as Tammy and invited her into her home.
- Once at the home, Homolka presented Jane to Bernardo. They both began to make brutal sexual attacks on her as she was unconscious, while videotaping the whole thing.
- Jane woke up the next day sore and sick but did not know about the violation her body has received the night before. Unlike the other 3 girls, Jane survived .
Victims And how they were caught
victims
leslie
- June 15 th, 1991
- Leslie Mahaffey
- rebellious teen
- She was supposed to be home at 11 p.m. but arrived late at 2 a.m.
- Unluckily for her, Bernardo was wondering the streets and saw her standing outside her door, locked out. He invited her over to his car for a cigarette and then forced her with a knife into his car and brought her home.
- Bernardo began to love sharing his rapist activities with Homolka. Both Homolka & Bernardo raped her repeatedly over the course of several days, videotaping much of it.
- They eventually killed her & cut her body into pieces, stuck it in cement & through the cement block into the lake. Several days later, the cement with her body pieces on it was found by a couple canoeing.
Wedding day
wedding
- The last victim on their list was another teenager girl, Kristen French.
- April 16th, 1992, the married couple kidnapped her in a church parking lot. Homolka pretended to need directions and eventually lured her into her car. They brought French back to their home and videotaped their acts of embarrassment of torture and sexual abuse for several days.
- French had tried very hard to survive their attacks but right before the Homolka and Bernardo left for their Easter Sunday dinner with Homolka's family, they murdered her. Her body was later found on April 30th in a ditch in Burlington.
- June 29 th, 1991, the same day that Mahaffeys remains were found, was the day that Homolka and Bernardo married.
- The wedding was beautiful and the guests were served extravagant meal.
betrayal
Betrayal and unexpected turn
- A little later after the murders, Bernardo began to become impatient with Homolka & beat her with a flashlight, giving her many brutal bruises.
- Homolka's co-workers saw and reported it and Homolka was sent away from Bernardo.
- Homolka testified against her husband Bernardo for abuse.
- Eventually the police caught up with the couple's actions
- Bernardo was given a life sentence in prison.
- Homolka begged and pleaded and put almost all of the blame on Bernardo.
- She served only 12 years at a women's prison.
conclusion
conclusion and my opinion
- It appears that Homolka & Bernardos targets are young teens, who are pretty and Caucasian girls that are still virgins.
- All victims appear to be liked socially and all are near to the couple's home.
opinion
What i truly hate about this case is that Karla only recieved 12 years imprisonment even though she was as guilty as he was and is currently free. She recruited women for him and also joined in raping some of them and taking videos of it. In my opinion she deserved more punishment because she was as sadistic as he was.
