A journalist has tracked down a notorious female serial killer, and found she is living on a tropical island, is remarried, and has three young children, one of whom she is still breastfeeding. Karla Homolka is one of Canada's most horrific serial killers. When Karla was in her early 20s, she and her then-husband, Paul Bernardo, abducted, raped, tortured, and killed two teenage girls. They also drugged and raped Karla's own younger sister, Tammy, who died as a result of the drugs they fed her. Paul remains in prison, but Karla struck a plea deal with authorities that allowed her to serve only 12 years in prison. This is the first time it's been known that she has remarried and, shockingly, has three children.
The journalist, Paula Todd, used an Internet tip to find Karla on the isle of Guadeloupe. Their conversation is now in a self-published e-book called Finding Karla: How I Tracked Down an Elusive Serial Child Killer and Discovered a Mother of Three.
This discovery brings up a whole set of questions. Are her young children safe? What about her neighbors? What about anyone who crosses her path? This, says the writer, is part of the reason she tracked Karla down -- because Canadians were worried she was out somewhere repeating her crimes. And Karla and Paul's crimes were heinous and despicable -- one young woman they tortured and raped over three days. They also videotaped everything.
Karla originally convinced authorities that she was forced to do the crimes by Paul. But it was later proven that she was a willing participant -- including raping the women herself. And raping her own SISTER. Any murder is horrific, but these are far from "young, dumb, and made a horrible mistake" murders. These are calculated, cruel, and show a complete lack of any kind of human feeling.
Legally, Karla did her time, and she is allowed to now live how she likes. Many people are saying that she should be left alone. However, she brutally took the option of living a life and having children from three other completely innocent women. It's hard to feel sorry for her being bothered by the press.
Karla stopped talking to the journalist after talking to her lawyer. But one thing she said before she clammed up was rather chilling. The writer, trying to get Karla to open up, complimented her on her parenting skills -- which included Karla breastfeeding one baby in front of her. Karla reportedly snapped, "That’s funny that you think you can judge that after seeing me this short time."
If I were her neighbors, I'd move.
Do you think notorious killers should be left alone after doing their time?

Sorry to tell you, but "socialism" had nothing to do with it (is that the catch phrase du jour in some circles to explain everything?!?!). She entered into a plea bargain in exchage for her testimony. As most sociopaths do, she lied convincingly to the police that she was an unwilling participant and they thought they were getting the true monster (Paul Bernardo) with her testimony. It is only after, when the videos were discovered, that her true participation was revealed. At that point it was too late, the deal had been struck and she'd already been sentenced based on it.
I am sure Leslie, Tammy and the other girl they brutally murdered would love to be spending time with their children and husband but Karla took that away from them. BTW, Karla never said anything until Paul turned on her and whooped her butt!! It was only until it affected her did she say anything. I am sure their mom and dad would love to be holding their grandchildren from those girls!! Why should she get to go on with her life when she took theirs? If you know anything about the story then you know they did not find the tapes until after she was tried....they have stated if they would have had the tapes she would have never walked out of prison,
This is disgusting. wonder what kind of bedtime stories she will tell her kids. Wonder what kind of idiot would marry her and impregnate her. She should still be in jail. At the least she needs to rot in hell.
This animal should go back to prison. I hope the press never leaves her alone because innoccent people who dont know about her should know. She is a danger to society, I surely wouldnt want to live next to her. If I was her kid I would feel disgusted knowing I drank from the breast of a woman who murdered many people and did very cruel acts. I think its a travesty she ever got to see the light of day again, I feel for the victims families.
I don't think that murderers should be allowed outside of prison walls. It is a disgrace that she has had the freedom to go on to have children.
Her poor victims certainly didn't.
I wonder if her parents are still in touch with her, one of the vicitms of her crimes was her sister.
Oh wow...there are no words o_O
People who do the the things she did shouldn't be allowed to strike plea deals.
She should be where Paul is know in jail for the rest of her life. I don't believe she should be left alone. Her neighbors should be aware of what kind of person is living next to them. I feel sorry for her neighbors and children as well. Nobody is safe around her.
