Introducing Very Scary People: The Ken and Barbie Killers

Very Scary People

09-10-2023 • 2 mins

In the late-80s and early 90s, the quaint suburbs of Toronto, Canada were blind-sided by an unprecedented flurry of violent crimes: a serial rapist on the loose and young girls vanishing… only to later discover their dead bodies, dismembered.  As separate investigations developed, police across the region followed leads pointing to a young, blond-haired blue-eyed duo.

Over seven episodes, host Donnie Wahlberg traces the twisted path of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka – a couple from Toronto that appeared loving and wholesome but had everybody fooled. We’ll explore how the boy and the girl next-door captivated Canada and became the killers known as “Ken and Barbie.”
