Police Mistakes

Police Mistakes

There were several big mistakes the police made as far as finding and stopping Paul Bernardo goes. These can be summed up to massive incompetence on the officers part.  The first being that at the very beginning of the rapes before there ever was a  “Scarborough rapist” was that Bernardo was called into the police station but was never interviewed. In 1990, 2 months after the police had confirmed that Paul Bernardo matched the sketch of the rapist they asked him to come in for an interview. He volunteered to give DNA because he admitted he looked like the sketch.  Being the absolute joke of police officers that the interviewers were they concluded that such a nice young man couldn’t possibly be the rapist. Following the death of Tammy Holmolka the coroner and the family announced her death as accidental – this is despite the chemical burns from the Halothane on her face, somehow none of the police officers caught on to this blunder so Paul and Karla remained free for even longer.
