- Core context: Kristen French was a 15-year-old Canadian girl abducted in 1992 in St. Catharines, Ontario, and later murdered by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. This case received massive national media attention and remains one of Canada’s most infamous crimes. Her death led to ongoing public discussion about child protection and justice, and her memory is commemorated in various ways in Ontario, including renaming centers in her honour.[2][3][4][5]
