Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo might look like the ideal couple, but they were a nation's most despicable killers. Karla began their depraved sex and murder spree by stealing drugs to knock out her little sister. While Paul raped and sodomized the unconscious girl, Karla dutifully caught it all on video tape.

Unbelievably, the worst was yet to come. In a brazen daylight kidnapping, Karla lured schoolgirl Kristen French to their car and helped Paul force the struggling, screaming teenager inside. Then, just as she has with fourteen-year-old Leslie Mahaffy, Karla videotaped Paul's repeated beatings and rape of his ex slave, violated the terrified girl herself, then simply watched as Paul choked the life out of his victim.

The entire nation was horrified by these crimes in what became the costliest and, by far, most controversial manhunt and most sensational trial in Canada's history. Now the full shocking story- considered too grisly for newspaper and television coverage at the time- can finally be told.
