Ken and Barbie are the worst, ever.
Sadly, we are not talking about the plastic oddly proportioned dolls, but about two murderers from Canada. The Ken and Barbie Killers are infamous for the crimes they committed in the late 80s and early 90s. Don't let their kitschy name fool you, this couple committed horrific acts of violence and terrorized their town in Canada.
Join us as we tell their tale of horror and show that monsters come in all shapes and sizes. These two looked like they should have been living the good life , sunning on a beach somewhere, but instead they led a life that required them to hide their dirty deeds in the dark.
Listener discretion is strongly advised.
