KEN AND BARBIE KILLERS: THE LOST MURDER TAPES SNEAK PEEK

KEN AND BARBIE KILLERS: THE LOST MURDER TAPES SNEAK PEEK

From the outside, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka painted a picture-perfect relationship of a beautiful young couple in love. Neither shied away from attention, and they captured their entire relationship on their video camera. But behind those blonde locks and pearly whites was a much more sinister side: the two were orchestrating a horrific crime spree across Canadian suburbs and recording their evil brutality on tape. When a distressed Karla turns Paul over to the police, she pleads that she was forced to help her husband. But after six tapes of evidence surface that reveal the reality of the crimes, it begs the question: was Karla another victim, or was she the puppet master behind it all? Now with exclusive footage, unseen evidence, and intimate interviews, KEN AND BARBIE KILLERS: THE LOST MURDER TAPES reveals an inside look at Paul and Karla’s twisted relationship from behind the lens. The murders led to a transformative trial – with a controversial outcome – that left an indelible mark on Canada’s justice system, and one that questions whether a cold-blooded killer walks free to this day. ID will air the shocking story over back-to-back nights on Sunday, December 12 and Monday, December 13 beginning at 9/8c, and viewers can binge the entire four-part series on discovery+.

“KEN AND BARBIE KILLERS: THE LOST MURDER TAPES captures the dark cautionary tale of an image-obsessed couple living their lives in front of the camera before the rise of today’s selfie generation,” says Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime and Investigative Content. “Paul and Karla projected the image of a perfect marriage – down to their dream home – but behind closed doors it was a life filled with cruel and disturbing crimes that they documented with an insidious self-obsession.”

In 1993, a distressed Karla Homolka reveals to police that her husband Paul Bernardo videotaped his assaults of two schoolgirls and that he is the serial sex attacker who terrorized Toronto, known as the “Scarborough Rapist.” When police fail to find the tapes after an exhaustive search, they offer Karla a deal to be their star witness in the prosecution of her husband. When Paul’s legal team is sent into the house with instructions for finding the tapes, what they find changes everything.

THE DEAL
