Karla Homolka liked bondage sex games but was a positive role model for a female convict who fell in love with her and now describes the relationship in a new book.
Lynda Veronneau, a l'ombre de Karla (Lynda Veronneau: In the Shadow of Karla) is mainly the story of Veronneau, who spent time in Joliette prison with Homolka, who was serving 12 years for the sordid sex slayings of Ontario schoolgirls Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy.
But it also details Veronneau's three-year love affair with Homolka, who was freed in July and now lives under another name in Montreal.
"Lynda did not know anything about Karla Homolka," said co-author Christiane Desjardins, a court reporter for La Presse. "She hadn't heard anything about her because she didn't listen to the news or read newspapers. She had other things to do."
Veronneau, who is gay, saw herself as a man and plans to undergo a sex change.
She wrote in her book that during the time they were together, Homolka enjoyed sex games and liked to be tied up, something that disturbed Veronneau, who was serving a sentence for robbery.
She said one game seemed to simulate rape.
The relationship headed for the rocks in 2000 when Homolka was transferred to a regional reception centre in Saskatoon for psychiatric evaluations. It ended when she was brought back to Quebec to the Ste. Anne des Plaines prison for a short period.
It was during that time that Homolka began a relationship with Jean-Paul Gerbet, who is serving a life sentence in Ste. Anne des Plaines for killing his ex-girlfriend. Homolka began to keep her distance from Veronneau when she returned to Joliette. Homolka told her in 2001 they were finished.
The breakup was catastrophic for Veronneau, who writes that she got even with Homolka by selling photographs to the Toronto Sun. But Veronneau says in the 300-page book that Homolka was a positive influence on her in the end.
"She gave her the taste to resume her studies," Desjardins said. "She left school in the seventh or eighth grade but took math and English courses in prison. Her ambition is to get enough training to open a business.
"Lynda was fascinated by Karla's discipline. She put her on a pedestal because she buckled down at night and studied psychology. Lynda always had girlfriends who were hooked on drugs and alcohol and she found in this woman an air of normality."
I hope the publisher loses his shirt on this.
Interesting juxtapositions in this sentence.
I'm surprised Homolka has made it this long without someone hitting her over the head with a rock and dumping her body in a lake.
I present to you, Lynda Veronneau. She thinks she is a man. Why fight it? (Haha)
Carla Homolka (on the right in both - these were taken in her "prison" at her birthday party - there is one of her with the cake too):
A monster lurks inside.
" A monster lurks inside."
No, the Monster is pretty much on the surface for all to see.
Who on earth helps to rape and murder her own sister as a wedding present to her husband on Christmas Eve?
Her plee bargain should have been revoked and the knowledge of the video by her lawyer and subsequent recovery should have led to a charge of interference with discovery and obstruction of justice.
I don't even have to go into the role she played in supplying subsequent victems.
When people say there's female bonding in womens' prisons, they're not kidding!
That is disgusting. Hopefully she'll get hit by a car before that happens. How nice it would have been if her younger sister had a pistol in her purse. Innocent person saved, and a dimented murderer/rapist in the dirt.
"That is disgusting. Hopefully she'll get hit by a car before that happens. How nice it would have been if her younger sister had a pistol in her purse. Innocent person saved, and a dimented murderer/rapist in the dirt."
She is the female equivalent of Ted Bundy. Her IQ is off the charts even though she only has a high school education.
My judgement is that she was not a victem but the perpetrator who manipulated Paul Bernardo. He was just the hammer in her own toolbox.
She ran the video camera, hunted out new victems and helped murder and rape her own sister on Christmas eve when her parents were sleeping upstairs.
It doesn't get colder than that.
If she moves to the US she will disappear into a population of 300 million and the results will be catastrophic.
She may have ended her prison career but she is just starting out as a career psychopath and female psychopaths are rare and very difficult to trace.
Aweful, what sick people.
I didn't expect her to look like that. I was imagining much worse. Somehow her being kind of cute makes the story even sicker!
I suppose I should ping this out. If so, later.
People like her (and I use the word "people" loosely) need execution.
women in prison ping.
