Case overview
He initially committed a series of rapes in Scarborough, Ontario, a district of Toronto, between 1986 and 1990, before meeting Karla Homolka, with whom he committed rape leading to the death of her sister Tammy, followed by two murders in 1991 and 1992. Investigators received two tips pointing to Bernardo over the summer of 1990. [1]
After his capture and conviction, Bernardo was sentenced to life imprisonment and was declared a dangerous offender, making it unlikely that he will ever be released from prison. Bernardo and Karla were questioned by police several times in connection with the Scarborough Rapist investigation, Tammy's untimely death and Bernardo's stalking of other women before French's abduction. The NRP subsequently reopened its investigation of Tammy's death. [2]
