Most Canadians pobably know about this case.

She is apparently living in Chateauguay ,Quebec,under another name,,remarried and has 3 kids

People in the area,ofcourse are freaking out because they were not notified.

The issue is she did her time,by law.should she be left alone?
She and her then husband,raped and killed 3 girls,one of them being her sister where video of the act surfaced of her and her sisters unconscious body.

Wow, what a couple of monsters there! I didn't know about this case. I guess legally if she did her time she should be left alone, but I would be uneasy living near someone like this especially if I had daughters. I'd also fear for her own children's safety. Here's a video that tells part of her sick story.

 
The parents at the school where her kids attend,are very upset at not being told.

I can't imagine what her kids will think when they start understanding who she is.
 

A lot of people do not feel that she has 'done her time'. She took a plea bargain ratting out her husband in exchange for a 12 year sentence for her role in murdering 3 children. Has she been rehabilitated? I doubt it. Are sociopaths/psychopaths cured? Doubt it.

She was legally free to go once released, but will probably be followed and persecuted for the rest of her life. A terrible situation for her own children and uncomfortable for the residents of the community where she has chosen to live.

Who or what agency would be obligated to notify those parents of such a thing? Would they have to look people up who were suspect, like on a sex offender registry website or something like that? I imagine the parents are angry, but who would tell them, especially if she already paid for the crimes? I feel bad for her kids, hopefully her new husband is a good man, or she may travel down that same road again, she seems very weak in character.
 
The sex offender registry was not in affect back then.

I agree,she served her time.

I personally think she got away too easy.

Here in the US, victims must take the initiative - they file for a notification upon release, and if it gets approved by the court, then authorities are obliged to send notification to the victims. And you have to let the court know whenever your address changes. They don't go looking for you if the notification gets returned.

Vicky I agree, she did get away too easy. Wrigley's, I can see if you were a victim, but the general public in that area doesn't receive any type of notification, so in this case the parents are right to be angry and concerned, but they couldn't really expect to be notified.

Ah. Got it.
 
That monster mom should have done the right thing and never had children of her own. She will never get away with trying to cover up her identity and those kids will pay the price for her evil.

And woman who could sacrifice her own sister should have the child welfare looking down her back at all times making sure those kids are ok.

I wonder what she thinks when she looks at her kids and thinks about what she did to her own sister and to Lesley Mahaffy and Kristin French? Do you think she's tortured by that memory or is it 'oh well, who cares'? And what about her kids? They're very young now but when they get older and find out what their mom did?????

Another thing I have wondered about is how her parents feel about her and what she did to their other child. Do they talk to her or have they cut her off because they can't bear the reminder?

Her sentence was much too liberal. It should have been life without the possibility of parole.

Falcon, she only received a 12 year sentence under a plea bargain where she blamed her husband. It was only after the tapes were found that had been hidden by their lawyer that her role surfaced showing in those sex tapes she was just as guilty.

But the plea bargain stood. Canada's justice system stinks at times.
 
I remember seeing a documentary on them. She was not a victim. She might regret her decisions at the time but I highly doubt she is a true victim.

I don't know if the having kids thing was to replace her family or she simply doesn't get it. Some people think life has on/off and forget switches. It doesn't. She did do twelve years but in reality if she really eventually showed remorse for her crimes how can she have a family like nothing happened. If I was really repentant I would spend my life trying to educate and keep young women out of the kind of relationship she was in. Certain things in life one should not and/or can't really come back from or change.
 
What really puzzles me, is, why/how any man in his right mind would want to marry and father children with such a woman.
She was an equal partner in crime, and there never should have been an opportunity for plea bargaining for either of those monsters .. because that's what they are.

I wonder the same thing.

Her parents,losing one daughter from the other daughters hands.

Was she under his control and so much fear?


I was abused when I was young,let me tell you,the fear is real.
 
I'm sorry you were abused, Vicky. I almost was, and I'll never forget it. I know how much strength it takes to openly talk about it.
From all that was divulged to the public at the time of the trial, Homolka did appear to be a very willing partner in every way.
It's tragic that she made the decision to have children, as she should know her legacy will follow them through their entire lives.

Thank you,I came out stronger from it.


I think that is why she also got away more easy.in the trial I think she claimed abuse ,I can't remember.

Her kids.
Her parents and other sister still keep in touch.
It must be so hard on her parents also.
 
Vicky, are you saying that her parents and another sister keep in touch with her? I believe in forgiveness and second chances for everyone, but I think I'd have a hard time with that kind of situation. I'd like to think that I could rise above my 'natural' inclination to banish her but.........

I wouldn't even try to rise above it. Forgiveness is one thing, but letting a person who had done something like that back into my life? No way.
 
It makes you wonder about her family and upbringing. I think most families would be distraught that they somehow raised a monster....unless ???
 
I went digging and found interview she did when shw got out.


She is married to her formal lawyers brother.

Her parents and sister were always by her side.

They love her but hate what she did.

She has a great relationship with all her family.
 
I find it totally bizarre to read that 'she has a great relationship with her family'. I mean I can understand parents staying in touch, but 'a great relationship'? How do you put what she did 'in a box' and not let it influence you?

I find all this even more unsettling. Makes my skin crawl.
