Olson claimed six victims in quick succession in July 1981. There was a 9-year-old boy named Simon Partington, abducted and strangled on the 2nd of the month. A week later, he raped and strangled Judy Kozma, aged 14. He took her address book and phoned up her friends and family, playing tapes of her screaming down the telephone. Olson killed Raymond King, 15, on July 23, and just the following day he abducted an 18-year-old German tourist named Sigrun Arnd, whom he raped and battered to death with a hammer. On July 27, he abducted and strangled Terry Carson, 15.

Olson had now killed ten children. Because the victims were of both sexes, and only three had been found with the other seven tentatively listed as probable runaways, the cases were not initially linked by authorities. By now, however, the police in British Columbia had finally realized they had a serial killer on their hands, and a major investigation was soon under way. They were too late to save Louise Chartrand, 17, whom Olson battered to death on July 30th with a hammer, burying her corpse in a shallow grave.

Olson eventually came up with a controversial deal: he would confess to the eleven murders, and show police where the bodies of those not recovered were buried, and in return he wanted $10,000 paid to his wife for each victim. The authorities were outraged at this suggestion at first, but, as they had little evidence to tie Olson to the killings and the families of the missing children were desperate to give their loved ones a decent burial, the agreement was eventually made. In January 1982, Olson pleaded guilty to eleven counts of murder and was given eleven life sentences. As agreed, $110,000 was paid to his wife.
