you want to know that we are thinking of you and that everything can be done is being done and we'll get you back real quick some articles of clothing were found but police say nothing that can immediately be tied to the case but on the 30th of April 1992 worst fears were realized as police found Kristen's naked lifeless body in a ditch she had been murdered on the 19th of April her was videotaped by hamula and Bernardo as they held the younger girl captive over 3 days assaulting humiliating her and forcing her to drink copious amounts of alcohol on May 15th 1992 the green ribbon

after being interviewed by investigators about her husband's abuse Hoka confessed and uh then she took a breath and that freaked me out even more I he should have slapped me in the face cuz I was really hysterical then so he went over to her and he did the same thing he strangled her more and I think I watched that time cuz what the hell she's dead anyway like for a tour of the murder scene the outfit she wore was eerily like that of an innocent school girl she'd been present for the full horror show but seemed totally detached can you answer a question for was any of the furniture damaged as a result of the investigation not damn aware of okay great sorry asking for she told her aunt and uncle about bernardo's multiple assault victims in Scarboro and even confessed to the murders of maathi and French explaining that there were videotapes of the events What followed was a fight for Freedom between the two spouses Hula's plan was to obtain full immunity in exchange for her cooperation in bernardo's arrest however in a call from jail Bernardo told his lawyer about the incriminating videotapes he had hidden them in a cealing light fixture bernardo's lawyer Ken Murray found the T apes and hid them again it would take bernardo's attorney being charged for the tapes to finally come to light on the 14th of May 1993 amula accepted a plea bargain offering her 12 years imprisonment in exchange for her cooperation in her statements given to police Hoka revealed that Bernardo had claimed to have had upwards of 30 assault victims furthermore It is believed that he had other murder victims as well her self-confidence perhaps a feature of extreme narcissism would come in handy when she showed up in court to testify against her husband in 1995 Bernardo was tried for the murders of French and mahfi he tried to suggest that the deaths were accidental and that hamula was the actual killer but on September 1st 1995 he was convicted of multiple offenses including two
