Who is Thierry Bordelais, Karla Homolka's husband?
Thierry Bordelais is the husband of Karla Homolka. Thierry Bordelais’ wife Homolka also known as Karla Leanne Teale, Leanne Teale, and Leanne Bordelais, is a Canadian serial killer who acted as an accomplice to her husband, Paul Bernardo, in the rape and murder of at least three minors in Ontario between 1990 and 1992.
How did Thierry Bordelais and Karla Homolka meet?
Karla Homolka is considered one of Canada’s most notorious female serial killers. But who is her new husband, Thierry Bordelais and how did they meet?
Thierry Bordelais is the brother of the serial killer Karla Homolka’s lawyer following the murder case. Thierry and Karla tied the knot in 2005 when she was released from prison after serving 12 years. Karla was previously married to Paul Bernardo before marrying her new husband Thierry Bordelais.
The couple met in 1987 and fell in love, developing a dark sadomasochistic relationship. The couple were dubbed the Ken and Barbie killers based on their seemingly good looks and wealthy status. Bernando allegedly became upset because Homolka was not a virgin when the two met, so Homolka allegedly offered up her 15-year-old sister as a “virgin sacrifice” to him.
Homolka and Bernardo drugged and raped Homolka’s 15-year-old sister, Tammy, in December 1990. Tammy became ill while sedated after the assault, choking on her own vomit, and died.
Bernardo and Homolka hid the evidence, did the laundry, redressed Tammy (who had a chemical burn on her face), and moved her into her basement bedroom. A few hours later, Tammy was pronounced dead at St. Catharines General Hospital without having regained consciousness. Bernardo told police he had unsuccessfully tried to revive her, and her death was ruled an accident.
But since the drugs in Tammy Homolka’s system were undetected in her autopsy, her death has ultimately been deemed an accident, despite the chemical burn on her face.
Between 1991 and 1992, the couple was responsible for the rapes and murders of two other teenage girls. Both of these crimes were videotaped by the couple. Karla left her then-husband, Paul, in 1993, went to the police and claimed he was abusive. The videotapes of the couple’s crimes clearly showed Homolka not as a victim, as she had claimed, but as a willing accomplice.
Thierry Bordelais’ wife, Homolka was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 12 years in prison, while her ex-husband Bernado was found guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and aggravated sexual assault, among other charges, and sentenced to life in prison.
Thierry Bordelais’ wife, Homolka’s release was granted on the condition that she keep police informed of her workplace and residence at all times, that she continue her therapy, and that she does not associate with anyone under the age of sixteen. However, many people believe the punishment was insufficient for one of Canada’s most notorious female serial killers.
How many children do Thierry Bordelais and her wife have?
According to the Sun, Karla and Thierry have three children together – two boys and a girl. They have lived in the Montreal suburb of Chateauguay since 2005. Although her neighbors were aware of her past, Homolka appears to have lived a quiet, uneventful life.
In 1997, Lynn Crosbie, Canadian poet, novelist, and cultural critic, published Paul’s Case, termed a “theoretical fiction”. After analyzing the couple’s crimes, it provided an examination of the cultural effects of the shocking revelations and controversy surrounding their trial.
A 2000 episode of Law & Order (Season 10 Episode 15, “Fools For Love”) was inspired by this case. The MSNBC documentary series Dark Heart, Iron Hand devoted an episode to the case, which was later rebroadcast as an episode of the series MSNBC Investigates, retitled “To Love and To Kill”.
