Colonel Russell Williams has given police a lengthy and wide-ranging statement about four dozen so-called “lingerie break-ins,” two home invasions that turned into bizarre sexual assaults last September, and the murders of two young women, one a military steward with whom he may have flown.
Several sources have also told The Globe and Mail that the 46-year-old commander of Canadian Forces Base Trenton took detectives to the body of Jessica Lloyd, a 27-year-old who suddenly disappeared on Jan. 29 after texting a friend she had safely arrived home.
The Globe has also learned that while Col. Williams was in countless photographs in the base newspaper, The Contact, since taking over the job last summer – there is hardly an issue without at least several pictures of the lantern-jawed veteran – more ominously, he was also an avid amateur photographer.
Sources say that he photographed the murders and sexual attacks. His computer, once examined by forensic specialists, is expected to yield what one source called “a treasure trove” of evidence.

If this report is true, then the case is closed on this guy. One has to feel sorry for his wife who, one presumes, was not at all involved and is yet another victim. If he is guilty of the two murders as appears to be true, and there are no mitigating circumstances, it is just too bad that we no longer have capital punishment.
If he has cooperated and given up lengthy detailed statements then it will be interesting to see if he pleads guilty. The worst he can get is life imprisonment.

I’m not going to bother with this “officer” anymore because the situation will drag on for years (he’s done like dinner) and #2 is correct.
#1 is wrong. Canada did away with the death penalty for good reason and I am in agreement with that.
I’ll revisit the issue when a lot more is known.
Well assuming that the news article is accurate then his goose is cooked and he can be in the cell next to Bernardo until he dies !
An article in the Journal de Montréal mentioned experts being surprised because guys like this ( assuming again that he is guilty ) are usually incapable of leading a normal life: Well maybe the psychotic ones living in their own fantasy world.
This guy reminds me more of the character in the ” Dexter ” T.V. series who has learned how to hide in plain view and ” fakes ” empathy he doesn’t have or really understand i.e. a smart high I.Q. high functioning psychopath who compartmentalizes his normal life versus his ” evil ” impulses.
