Paul Bernardo and his wife Karla Homolka were dubbed the "Barbie and Ken killers" because their wholesome exteriors masked their interior depravity.

They say that Paul Bernardo (the Chad) snapped mentally when he was 16 or 17 when his mom told him the man he thought was his father wasn't his father. His mom had an affair with another man and after that they said he started to have a generally negative opinion of women.
It wasn’t until he was 16 when his mother revealed to him that he was actually the result of an extramarital affair that Bernardo’s outward behavior began to noticeably change.
He began to refer to his own mother as a “slob” and a “whore.” When he went off to study at the University of Toronto, he became adept at picking women up at bars only to later humiliate and beat them.
Paul Bernardo was good-looking and charming, an unfortunate combination that he used to manipulate women and take them off their guard. Before long, he would give in to a far darker impulse.
In 1987, he started his rape spree. He would stalk, beat and sexually assault random young women and became known as the Scarborough Rapist.
During his nearly five-year rampage as the Scarborough rapist, Paul Bernardo raped or attempted to rape at least 19 young women — and this is only the official count.
Paul Bernardo had met Karla Homolka in 1987 when he was 23 and she was 17.
Karla Homolka was the Stacy.
They quickly began a sadomasochistic relationship in which Bernardo acted as an abusive master and Homolka as a willing slave. The whole while they dated, Paul Bernardo was also brutally raping girls in Scarborough with Homolka’s knowledge and approval.
They ended up getting married and she helped him rape her 15 year old sister and she spiked her sister's drink so that he could rape her. This happened on December 23, 1990. Paul ended up raping the girl and had his wife (her sister) to join in. The girl later died from the overdose of drugs. Paul had Karla lure another girl in and they spiked her drink and raped her and she woke up with no memory of the event. They lured more girls in and raped them, some were killed. They were arrested in 1993.
Paul got life in prison without parole.
Karla got 12 years and was released in 2005. She remarried and had a baby.
