Clifford Robert Olson Jr (born January 1, 1940 in Vancouver, Canada) is a convicted serial killer who confessed to killing two children and nine youths in the early 1980s.
Murders
On November 17, 1980, 12-year-old Christine Weller of Surrey, British Columbia was abducted. She was found on Christmas Day, strangled with a belt and stabbed repeatedly. On April 16, 1981, Colleen Marian Daignault, 13, vanished. It was five months before her body was found. By then, Daryn Todd Johnsrude, 16, had also been abducted and killed. 16-year-old Sandra Wolfsteiner was murdered on May 19 and 13-year-old Ada Court in April.
Six victims follow in quick succession in July 1981: Simon Partington, 9, abducted and strangled on the second day of the month; Judy Kozma, 14, raped and strangled a week later; Raymond King Jr., 15, abducted on July 23 and bludgeoned to death; Sigrun Arnd, an 18-year old German tourist, raped and bludgeoned the following day; Terri Lyn Carson, 15, raped and strangled; Louise Chartrand, age 17, the last victim identified, died on July 30.
Arrest and plea bargain
Olson, who had an extensive criminal history, was arrested on August 12 on suspicion of attempts to abduct two girls. He reached a controversial deal with authorities, agreeing to confess to the 11 murders and show police where the bodies of those not recovered were buried, in return for which he wanted $10,000.00 paid to his wife for each victim; the agreement made, his wife received $100,000.00 after Olson cooperated with police. In January 1982, Olson pleaded guilty to 11 counts of murder and was given 11 concurrent life sentences to be served in Canada's maximum-security Special Handling Unit.
Parole application
In 1997, Olson was denied parole, for which he applied under Canada's "faint-hope" clause, which allowed a parole hearing for convicts who had served 15 years. Following public outrage at Olson's behavior at that trial, the Criminal Code in Ottawa was altered to exclude serial killers from that clause.
Canadian law allows inmates convicted of first-degree murder to apply for parole after a maximum of 25 years. Olson second parole hearing, on July 18, 2006, was also denied. Canadian media reported that during his hearing, Olson claimed that the hearing had no jurisdiction over him because the United States had given him clemency because he had information about the September 11th attacks. Under Canadian law, Olson is now entitled to make a case for parole every two years.
