After Tammy Homolka's unfortunate death, Karla Homolka and Bernardo's appetite for murder apparently grew stronger, and they continued to rape and kill women in the Scarborough, Ontario area as a married couple. One day, however, their DNA was found in relation to a 15-year-old named Kristen French, whom they murdered and left in a ditch. Per The Star, the DNA matched other previous rapes in the area, and police went to Bernardo's workplace, where they discovered he had violent tendencies.

Homolka had divorced Bernardo at that point, because he had beaten her with a flashlight, and eventually, they were arrested for allegations regarding French in 1993.
