Summary

Former FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong digs into the murders committed by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka - dubbed the ‘Ken and Barbie Killers’ by the press for their youth and good looks.

Candice explores the psychology that brought these two killers together, and why only one of them is truly paying for the crimes.
