  • Col. Russell Williams was a big dog in the Canadian Forces. Described as a "shining star" and "elite pilot", he seemed to personify the military's positive side. Unfortunately, Russell Williams had a real negative side.

      I agree. Det. Smyth was humble and acknowledged the whole team who helped convict Williams. I did read that there was one case prior to Williams', where the judge threw the case out because the suspect had not been properly informed of his rights. That could explain Smyth's thorough, comprehensive and patient explanation during questioning. The police did an impressive job once they had some key evidence.

RW saved up individual condiment packets of ketchup etc. until he had enough to stuff down his throat. However, the guards heard him choking and gurgling loudly and rushed to his aid.

It makes it so easy to read the suspect and determine whether you think he is hiding something or being deceitful, and it works on people like Williams who are wanting to appear as cooperative as possible without giving too much away.

      Zach Davis I completely agree!!!!! The interrogator of Jodi Arias should’ve watched this Detective, Jodi even says during her interrogation what does she have to gain by confessing and the detective let a perfect opening to pass. This detective was able to get across why he should confess and capitalized on all the right questions plus made all the right moves. I remember being so upset when that detective missed a perfect opportunity to get Jodi Arias to open up and confess, sure enough after he missed that opening she completely closed down. Then it led to the ridiculous and very costly trial that just caused more pain and emotional distress to the family and friends of Travis Alexander. When you’re dealing with psychopaths (like Russell Williams) and especially a sociopath like Jodi Arias you have to always be on your best game because you only have a thin line to confession and once it’s gone you can’t get it back. This interrogation should be watched, studied and dissected for all students by their professors teaching criminal justice. I’m glad to hear that it is widely being studied and used as a training tool!!!!!

      All things considered, he provided a good answer too. "what do you need?". I feel like most innocent people who just happened to have that same brand of tires on their SUV (which could happen if a local tire shop has a certain brand on sale, and Toyo are a pretty good/popular tire brand), they would also answer that too. Even though they have the right to leave and not provide anything as they're not being retained and have the right to speak with an attorney before speaking with the police. He didn't know they had footprint impressions and he had the nerve to wear the same type of boots. That's what's really impressive about this investigation. He cleaned up the crime scene, which was his own home, so he wasn't worried about DNA and fingerprints. He dumped the body somewhere remote. He's been breaking into houses undetected for years so he's not worried about being recognized. The matched footprint completely screwed him because since it was a perfect match just like the tires, it allowed them to apply for a search warrant of both his cottage (that was likely clean) and his Ottawa home where his wife lived, while he was still in the interview room. He knew they would find everything while tearing apart his wife's home and that's what prompted the confession. Had it snowed that night or the day after, he would have gotten away with it. Had he chosen to wear different pair of boots for the abduction, perhaps one a size too big, he would have gotten away with it. I think too much credit is given to this interview and not enough credit to the impeccable investigation. The detective is asking some pretty common sense questions and he's being very respectful because as far as he knows, he's in a presence of a Colonel and would cause a heat score if he was innocent. The one thing he does do well though, he keeps a no-bs tone throughout. He doesn't get chummy with him like "oh hey colonel I know it wasn't you, can you just provide some samples so we can rule you out and you can head on your merry way?". That really kept the pressure on Williams. However, his strategy to get through that interview is chillingly effective. Right off the bat he pops gum in his mouth - keeps it from getting dry, since our mouths go dry when we get nervous. Also it gives him something to do that looks more inconspicuous than tapping his foot or fiddling with his hands.

      Watts is classic narcissistic personality disorder brought to the point where it becomes psychotic. Look up the term "family destroyer" and you'll find similar cases to Watts.

Williams mistake was choosing high risk victims in the beginning, as we saw with Pickton, the pig farmer who tortured and murdered for decades because he chose prostitutes, and homeless people, who aren't investigated as thoroughly. The BC RCMP, was investigated and shamed for the sloppiness, and lack of investigation, of so many women horrificly and needlessly, being murdered bc tips were ignored for so long.

      Complete oversight. The police got incredibly lucky that it didn't snow after the crime was committed. They also did an impeccable job with the tire impression database and getting foot impressions. You don't hear about that often. I also don't think he expected them to ask him to photocopy his boot. That's how they got a perfect match - by photocopying his boot. Usually when police get called out for a wellness check they walk around the house, etc which would ruin the footprints that were already there. As much as I hate to admit it, he was smart. He popped a piece of gum in his mouth right away to keep his mouth from drying out and to help keep him from fidgeting, tapping his foot or fiddling his hands. If they only had tire tracks, that wouldn't be enough. A lot of people have Toyo brand tires. Myself included. He didn't realize nor did he expect that they had the footprints. And he definitely didn't expect that by matching his footprints they would be able to apply for, and receive, a search warrant for both his cottage AND his Ottawa home, while he was still in the interview room. I don't know if that was a bluff or not but that's what they told him and that's what cracked him. He had gotten away with all those break-ins and assaults for YEARS and they had no evidence (yet) for the first murder. He was smart, but the investigative process was thankfully, smarter.

      He was a general, a top ranking official in the Canadian military who was responsible for transporting VIPs like the Queen of England.
      His crimes did not just impact the families of those he murdered, it impacted the military and the country as well.

    You state that the police “found” the tire tracks in Jessica’s garden. Not so. 2 men drove by Jessica’s late at night regularly and one observant fellow spotted a car, in the field some distance from the Jessica’s house. Then a little later they saw all the police activity. Then the men stopped and notified they had seen a car in the field a couple of nights earlier. It was THEN that the police looked for tracks. It was these tracks that led them to the killers car. If this fellow had NOT have alerted the police re the car in the field it is very likely weather would have destroyed the tracks and they would not have tracked (literally) down the killer. It was this fellow along with good police work that solved the murders.

      Its called keeping it concise for the sake of the video length bud, how they found prints and tracks is totally superfluous info when you're trying to relay the case in a story format and keep people's attention especially when there's no dispute that the guys guilty. Quit splitting hairs.

    I remember this, growing up in the 80s and 90s I remember Paul Bernardo and karal holmoka (every canadian does), I remember the pig Farmer in BC. But it wasn't until this case that I truly felt like no where was safe. I love to think as a canadian we're somehow immune to such monsters, your page humbles me constantly.

    Jessica Lloyde's mother was my high school's main secretary. Centennial Secondary in Belleville,Ontario for those fact checkers. Mrs.Lloyde was always a joy. I never met Jessica but did know her brother a bit. Great family. Didn't deserve what happened. It was a surreal time, her house is about 10KM from mine, and a stone's throw from my buddy's house we used to drink and smoke at. I remember investigators knocking on my buddies garage door, and there was 10 of us in there smoking weed, they didn't care at all, just wanted to know if we had any info on Jess.
    My aunt is a very high ranking Air force officer as well. She worked with Russell. This fucked her up bad especially when they found out he killed Marie it really shook the whole community. He really really affected the way our community behaves today. No more unlocked doors out In The country. I highly recommend watching his interrogation breakdown from JCS.
