Murder
Christine Weller, 12, from Surrey, British Columbia, was kidnapped on November 17, 1980. His corpse was discovered more than a month later on Christmas Day; he was strangled with his belt and stabbed repeatedly. On April 16, 1981, Colleen Marian Daignault, 13, disappeared. Five months later his body was found. On April 22, 1981, Daryn Todd Johnsrude, 16, was kidnapped and murdered; his body was found less than two weeks later. On May 19, 1981, 16-year-old Sandra Wolfsteiner was murdered, and the Court Ada Anita, 13, was assassinated in June 1981.
Six victims were followed sequentially in July 1981. Simon Partington, 9, was kidnapped, raped and strangled on the second day of the month. Judy Kozma, 14 years from New Westminster, was raped and strangled a week later. His body was found on July 25 near Weaver Lake.

Catching and bargaining
Olson, who has an extensive criminal history, was arrested on August 12, 1981, on suspicion of trying to kidnap two girls. On August 25, Olson is accused of murdering Judy Kozma. He reached a controversial deal with the authorities, agreeing to recognize 11 murders and show RCMP the location of a corpse that has not yet recovered. In return, authorities agree that $ 10,000 for each victim is paid to be trust for his wife, Joan, and baby boy, Clifford III. His wife received $ 100,000 after Olson teamed up with RCMP, the 11th body being a 'freebie'. In January 1982, Olson pleaded guilty to 11 counts of murder and was given a life-long sentence to serve in Canada's Supreme Special Supervisory Unit in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec, which houses many of the country's most dangerous criminals. Olson is a dangerous offender, meaning it is very unlikely he will be released from prison.
Parole app
During his sentence of January 14, 1982, the judge of the court said, "My opinion is that you should not be given parole for the rest of your days, it would be foolish to let you roam."
In 1997, Olson was denied parole, which he applied under Canada's "vague clause of hope," allowing a parole hearing for inmates who had served for at least 15 years.
Canadian law allows inmates convicted of first-degree murder to file parole after serving a minimum of 25 years. Olson's second parole trial, on July 18, 2006, was also rejected. Olson made many strange and false claims, including that the United States has granted him pardon to provide information about the September 11 attacks and that the trial has no jurisdiction over it because of it. Under Canadian law, Olson then has the right to file a parole case every two years.
Olson was once again denied parole in November 2010.
Old Age Security retirement controversy
The controversy was developed in March 2010 when the media revealed that Olson received two federal government benefits from Canada while in jail, totaling $ 1,169.47 per month. Olson is eligible to receive a Canadian Old Age Security (OAS) pension. All residents who fulfill residency requirements for a period of time in Canada are eligible to receive this pension at age 65, and Olson is 70 years old on 1 January 2010. Olson is also eligible to receive the Additional Guaranteed Revenue (GIS), which is granted to pensioners with low income. The money in question was held in custody for Olson.
The Canadian Taxpayer Federation testifies before a federal permanent committee for Human Resource Development to request lawmakers through Bill C-31, which will stop pension benefits for inmates. The organization also submitted to the government with 46,000 signatures petition requesting that Olson no longer receive the benefits. Prime Minister Stephen Harper called on government officials to investigate the matter; on June 1, 2010, the government moved to stop Olson's payment, mentioning the fact that he had received them "outrageous" and "offensive." In September 2010, Olson sent one of Old Age Security's checks to Sun Media reporter Peter Worthington, with a note asking him to pass a check to Harper's campaign for re-election.
Disease and death
In September 2011, media reports indicated that Olson had terminal cancer and had been transferred to a hospital in Laval, Quebec. He died on September 30, 2011, at the age of 71 years.
