Well dianavan, if you've got Quick Time player heeeeere's Karla: up close, personal and soon-to-be-released - Deadly or not.

The prison psychiatrist who testified at the Quebec hearing stated that not once in her 12 years of 'therapy' has Karla ever answered questions, spoken directly of or revealed anything about what happened, about her role in those rapes and deaths. This means she's received no real 'therapy' at all, no matter how many sessions she attended. For any kind of therapy to work, the person must first at least be willing to acknowledge, face and speak about the problem(s).

The fact that she was a 'model prisoner' doesn't bode well for the public either. The Quebec court's restrictions are only binding for 12 months. If she continues her typically 'good behavior', and if public interest in the case drops off (as it will, eventually) well don't look now but *coming soon* to a neighbourhood near YOU ....

A couple months before Kristen French disappeared, a 17-yr old local girl - Cindy Halliday - went missing. She was last seen at the gas station a 5 minute walk from my house, hitch-hiking. A few months later, the decomposed fragments of her bones and body and her ski jacket were found in a forested area about 2 miles away. With all the uproar going on over the Scarborough Rapes and disappearances of the girls in Niagara Region at the time, Cindy Halliday was back-page news. The local police posted a reward, even tried to pin it on Bernardo at one time - but her killer has never been found.

And Cindy, who had no family except her ailing mother, has pretty well been forgotten - except for the few of us who live so close by I doubt we'll ever forget. There's been nothing in the news about her for years, and I searched the missing children / unsolved murder sites for quite a while yesterday.   

Nada.

I do hope Karla never benefits from such a "falling out" of the public eye.


because when one animal in a 'tribe' or 'herd' or pod' goes nuts and starts acting anti-social, the others in that group turn on it and KILL it for the good of the WHOLE group...

this is true

Humans are the only one arrogant enough to think they DON'T have to do the same... that we can live outside of nature... and we're wrong...

Well, with all due respect for the laws of Nature, humans are supposed to have a few more 'parts' than animals. Which we're probably best off using.

So we don't look so barbaric, at least.
