Writing About Crime

Karla Homolka In this second episode of a two part series on KARLA HOMOLKA some of the big questions are asked.  Was she afraid to leave, or was she fulfilled by her involvement?  Psychoanalysts have  drawn the connection between Karla Homolka and a syndrome known as "Bonnie and Clyde" syndrome or hybristophilia -  as it appears some element of paraphilic disorder is in play with Karla.   **PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS EPISODE HAS CONTENT THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS*** WRITING ABOUT CRIME - TRUE CRIME CASES IN CANADA Research and writing: Bonnie Lee Visit:  Writing About Crime Facebook page:  Writing About Crime Twitter @writingcrime Instagram: Writing About Crime Instagram Email:  writingaboutcrime@writeme.com   ***Thank you Tara And Barney of BLOODY MURDER PODCAST.  For providing the disclosure at the top of the show.  A special thank you to Barney for redesigning my logo.  You both are a treat.   Sources used in this episode include: Prison Letters: The Complete Correspondence Between Convicted Killer Karla Homolka and Author Stephen Williams  Mascara & Murder  The Fifth Estate:  Getting to Know Karla Homolka Radio Canada Interviews Karla Homolka The Fifth Estate:   Karla Homolka   See www.writingaboutcrime.com for a full list of sources.

Karla Homolka Was she afraid to leave, or was she fulfilled by her involvement?  Psychoanalysts have  drawn the connection between Karla Homolka and a syndrome known as "Bonnie and Clyde" syndrome or hybristophilia -  as it appears some element of paraphilic disorder is in play with Karla.  She had the proclivity for dark sexual fantasies at a young age.  Many teens and young adults do, as they experiment and explore sexuality - and of course even adults do the same.  However, when the disorder comes in … it resembles more of an urge than a desire.  Those urges cross the line of "exploring and sexual play" when they involve their own suffering or humiliation, on themselves or their partner.  Often these disorders can involve repeating, and compelling behaviors that are designed to disable or distress, and can included non-consenting adults or even children. No matter if it causes harm or potentially even death.     **PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS EPISODE HAS CONTENT THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS***   WRITING ABOUT CRIME - TRUE CRIME CASES IN CANADA Research and writing: Bonnie Lee   Visit:  Writing About Crime Facebook page:  Writing About Crime Twitter @writingcrime Instagram: Writing About Crime Instagram Email:  writingaboutcrime@writeme.com   ***Thank you Tara And Barney of BLOODY MURDER PODCAST.  For providing the disclosure at the top of the show.  A special thank you to Barney for redesigning my logo.  You both are a treat.   Sources used in this episode include:   Prison Letters: The Complete Correspondence Between Convicted Killer Karla Homolka and Author Stephen Williams  Mascara & Murder  The Fifth Estate:  Getting to Know Karla Homolka Radio Canada Interviews Karla Homolka The Fifth Estate:   Karla Homolka   See www.writingaboutcrime.com for a full list of sources.

Chapter 25 “The Naked Judge”  - The Lori Douglas Story Like any story, where three people all tell their version - the details don’t always align from each person's account….  However, there is no doubt that Jack King sent his client Alexander Chapman risque photos of his wife and Queen’s Court Bench Justice Lori Douglas - but how much did she know?  Or, the even bigger question I’m asking … How much do we need to know?  You can be the jury on this chapter ...   Visit:  Writing About Crime Facebook page:  Writing About Crime Twitter @writingcrime Instagram: Writing About Crime Instagram Email:  writingaboutcrime@writeme.com   This most recent summer reading I recommend was:  Under the Bridge: The True Story of the Murder of Reena Virk by Rebecca Godfrey “Who were the seemingly ordinary teenagers who beat and killed a girl who longed to be their friend?

CHAPTER 24  Swift Runner “The Wendigo” The story of Swift Runner, the Canadian hunter and trapper who was respected and considered an impressive young man. A competent hunter and handy craftsman, he married and lived well with his young wife and five children.  However, the challenges of the harsh Canadian winters and the trickled down availability of the Bison for hunting, would challenge the mind and spirit.  How fragile is the human mind?  How do the warning tales and folklore influence our reality?  It’s a wormhole.   Visit:  Writing About Crime Facebook page:  Writing About Crime Twitter @writingcrime Instagram: Writing About Crime Instagram Email:  writingaboutcrime@writeme.com Podcasts I mention In this episode: ANXIOUS AND AFRAID The Pod is a podcast that covers everything from true crime to the paranormal.

Mike Danton puts his life back together after being released from prison.  Yet, he still claims that David Frost was not his intended target.  He adamantly insists that he had hired a hit man with his girlfriend Katie to kill his father Steve Jefferson.  Despite the fact that he has been estranged from his family for years, and there was no reason to think his father would be coming after him.  The clutches of his mentor David Frost are so powerful that Mike needed a way to claim his life back...but did he really order the hit on David Frost?   Visit:  Writing About Crime Facebook page:  Writing About Crime Facebook group:  Writing About Crime Discussion Group Twitter @CrimeWriterpod Instagram: Writing About Crime Instagram Email:  writingaboutcrime@writeme.com Thank you so much for listening and commenting:   Recommended Podcasts:  This second episode did not have promo's, but we look forward to adding two more recommendations next week!  Special mentions: ***Thank you Tara And Barney of BLOODY MURDER PODCAST.  For providing the disclosure at the top of the show.  A special thank you to Barney for redesigning my logo.  You both are a treat.

A jury found Raymond Cormier “not guilty” in the murder of fifteen year old Tina Fontaine on February 22, 2018. She weighed 72 pounds at the time of her murder - so tiny.  It made the brutal death seem even more gruesome because her stature was that of a young child.  Her murder would inspire the Federal Government of Canada to order an inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.  In the meantime, the hurt and disappointment over Tina Fontaines murder would have a long reach in devastating a chain of family and friends that leave you wondering where does the pain ever end.  In fact will it ever end?

Tina Fontaine did call in to tell police that “Sebastian” or Raymond Cormier, did in fact steal a truck.  It set in stone the fact of where she was, and what time and date she was there. Her displeasure with Raymond was enough to motivate her to make that call, and it gives us just that little nagging certainty that there was in fact a reason for Cormier to hurt her.   Recommended Podcasts: M.A.U.L.  MYSTERIES AND URBAN LEGENDS Creepy urban legends and perplexing unsolved mysteries..I have listened to these wonderful Australians since the beginning, and for being such a lovely couple, they sure can creep you out.  I have mentioned this podcast in the past, but they are now a feature podcast on Himalaya so it’s really helpful if you head over to that app and give them a like and subscribe.

Tina Michelle Fontaine, was born on the first of January in 1999. Raised by her great aunt Thelma Favel,  and uncle Joseph Favel for over ten years ……… Tina’s  early life started out tough. She lived on the Sagkeeng First Nation Reserve and later in Powerview-Pine Falls, Man.  Her father, Eugene, when 41 was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was told he would not survive longer than four months. Tina’s great aunt Thelma helped take care of her and her father.  At one point he went on a three day bender in 2011 with his friends Nicholas Abraham and Jonathan Starr. They argued about money and Eugene was beaten many times over several hours. Eugene  was then dragged out to a shed - and in that cold fall night he was left there … tied up and without a shirt on. Her father's violent death deeply affected Tina. "She was very hurt, very lost.  That's when she drifted away." Said her great aunt.   Visit:  Writing About Crime Facebook page:  Writing About Crime Facebook group:  Writing About Crime Discussion Group Twitter: @CrimeWriterpod Instagram: Writing About Crime Instagram  Email:  writingaboutcrime@writeme.com Recommended Podcasts: Wives Tales You can find them on I Tunes etc. They dive into the extra dark and twisty tales of some great legends, folklore, myths, and any tales we find interesting with a mysterious twist.

Here is a case out of the Canadian Maritime Province of New Brunswick. Two brothers, Connor and Noah spent the day with a close family friend at his father's farm. That evening they slept overnight with his son at an apartment just in front of their family home. For their mother, step father, and even the family friend there was no reason to worry for their safety....or, was there? This case has a special focus on how our decisions can determine our fate, and when many people make poor decisions together - it can be a fatal disaster. ***PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS EPISODE HAS A MOMENT OF INTENSITY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS***   Additional information can be found on my website here: Wining About Crime Support my patreon to get early episodes, and special information about upcoming projects: PATREON  www.patreon.com/winingaboutcrime Social media and contact information:Visit: Wining About CrimeFacebook page: Wining About Crime on FacebookFacebook group: The Wining About Crime Facebook GroupTwitter: @CrimeWinerInstagram: Wining About Crime InstagramEmail: winingaboutcrime@gmail.comCredits:Additional information can be found on my website here: Wining About CrimeResearch and writing: Bonnie Lee Bruce***PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS EPISODE HAS A MOMENT OF INTENSITY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS***

Twelve-year-old Karissa Boudreau was reported missing from Bridgewater on January 27, 2008. Her body was found on the bank of the LaHave River two weeks later. Following a four-month investigation, police charged the girl's mother, 34-year-old Penny Boudreau, with first-degree murder. On January 30, 2009, Boudreau pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 20 years. Investigators learned she strangled her daughter because she believed the child was in the way of her relationship with her boyfriend.   CONTENT WARNING: this podcast contains coarse language, adult themes and content of a violent and disturbing nature.

It started as a joke. Melissa Todorovic and David Bagshaw fantasized about how they wanted to hurt and humiliate David’s ex-girlfriend. They talked about it for months and months, until the fantasy became a plan, and Melissa gave David an ultimatum: no more sex until Stefanie was dead. How two high school students became killers.  MELISSA TODORVIC “PUPPET MASTER” TEEN MURDERCONTENT WARNING: this podcast contains coarse language, adult themes and content of a violent and disturbing nature.

Candace Derksen disappeared on Nov. 30, 1984. Her abduction shocked Winnipeg. Volunteer searchers came out en masse to look for a girl with pale freckles and brown hair. After nearly seven weeks, the search ended on Jan. 17, 1985, with a grim discovery. The girl's frozen body was found tied up inside a machine shed just 500 metres from her home. Candace's wrists and ankles were bound with twine. Her killer left her to die of hypothermia and exposure. Years later no one has been successfully tried and convicted in her case.  It is widely believed her attacker was Mark Edward Grant. SUPPORT WRITING ABOUT CRIME ON PATREON HERE.

Ashley Smith, a teenager who died by self-inflicted strangulation 19 October 2007 while under suicide watch in custody at the Grand Valley Institute for Women. Despite guards watching her on video monitors, Smith was able to strangle herself with a strip of cloth, and it was 45 minutes before guards or supervisors entered her cell and confirmed her death. The warden and deputy warden were fired after the incident; although the four guards and supervisors in immediate contact with Smith were initially charged with negligent homicide, those charges were withdrawn a year later.
