In Part Two of Ken and Barbie Killers: The Evil Duo, the illusion finally shatters.

As teenage girls continue to vanish across Ontario, police begin to connect the dots between the unsolved Scarborough Rapist attacks and a new wave of horrifying crimes. What follows is a race against time — one shaped by missed opportunities, hidden evidence, and a deal that would later shock an entire nation.

This episode unpacks the investigation that led to Paul Bernardo’s arrest, the shocking discovery of videotapes that exposed the truth, and the controversial plea deal that allowed Karla Homolka to walk free after just 12 years. We examine how Karla positioned herself as a victim, how the justice system failed to see the full picture, and how public outrage reshaped the conversation around accountability and evil.

The story concludes with Paul’s trial, Karla’s release, and a chilling psychological breakdown of how two people found each other — and together became far more dangerous than either would have been alone.

In the late 1980s, Canada was on edge. A violent predator known as the Scarborough Rapist was stalking women, leaving fear in his wake — and no one knew who he was.

In Part One of Ken and Barbie Killers: The Evil Duo, we trace the origins of one of Canada’s most disturbing true crime cases. We begin with the attacks that terrified Scarborough, then follow the fateful meeting of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka — two people whose psychological needs and darkest impulses aligned in the most dangerous way possible.

As their relationship deepens, so does the violence. We explore their backgrounds, how they hid in plain sight, and how their need for control and validation spiraled into something unthinkable. The episode builds toward the devastating betrayal at the heart of this case — the death of Karla’s younger sister, Tammy — and the chilling reality that the crimes did not stop there.

This episode examines how evil can grow quietly, how love can become a weapon, and how the most dangerous monsters are sometimes the ones who look the most normal.

Part Two will pick up with the investigation, arrests, trials, and the psychological reckoning that followed.

In this episode of Straight to the Case, we unravel one of the strangest and most unsettling poisoning cases in modern true crime — the death of David Castor.

What was first ruled a suicide quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Antifreeze. A staged scene. A so-called confession letter that raised more questions than answers. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a chilling pattern of manipulation, control, and calculated deception that turned a quiet family home into the center of a deadly mystery.

We walk through the timeline of David’s final days, the forensic red flags that couldn’t be ignored, and the shocking truth that ultimately came to light — a truth that would expose a plot years in the making and force everyone involved to ask: how far can someone go to get away with murder?

This is Poisoned: David Castor — a case where nothing is accidental, and the truth was hidden in plain sight.
