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.

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.

The Lori Douglas Story

“The Naked Judge”

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 ...

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.
