Military Officer Serial Killer Russell Williams - Police Interrogation and Confession SHOCKING

Bob McKeown deconstructs the interrogation and shocking confession of Russell Williams. From his initial denial to the full declaration of guilt, the fifth estate deciphers one of the most compelling and distressing confessions in Canadian criminal history with the help of people who know the art of interrogation better than anyone else.

Investigation and arrest

Jessica Lloyd, 27, had vanished on January 28, 2010. Investigators identified distinctive tire tracks left in snow near her home. One week after her disappearance, the Ontario Provincial Police conducted an extensive canvassing of all motorists using the highway near her home from 7 pm on February 4, 2010, to 6 am on the following day, looking for the unusual tire treads. Williams was driving his Pathfinder that day — rather than the BMW he usually drove — and an officer noticed the resemblance of his tire treads. These were subsequently matched to the treads near Lloyd's home.

On February 7, 2010, the CFB Trenton base commander was at his newly built home in Ottawa, where his wife lived full-time and he lived part-time, when he was called by the OPP in Ottawa and asked to come in for questioning. During the 10-hour interview he confessed to the numerous crimes of which he was later convicted. Early the next morning Williams led investigators to the woman's body in a secluded area on Cary Road, about 13 minutes away from where he lived. Williams was also charged in the death of Corporal Marie-France Comeau, a 37-year-old military flight attendant based at CFB Trenton, who had been found dead inside her home in late November 2009.

Along with the murder charges, Williams was charged with breaking and entering, forcible confinement, and the sexual assault of two other women in connection with two separate home invasions near Tweed, Ontario in September 2009. According to reports, the women had been bound in their homes and the attacker had taken photos of them.

Williams was arraigned and remanded into custody on Monday, February 8, 2010. The Canadian Forces announced that day that an interim commander would soon be appointed to replace him (Dave Cochrane took over 11 days later), and removed his biography from the Department of National Defence website the following day.

Hours after the announcement of Williams' arrest, police services across the country reopened unsolved homicide cases involving young women in areas where Williams, a career military man, had previously been stationed. According to news reports, police began looking at other unsolved cases based on a full statement that Williams gave to police.

A week after his arrest, investigators reported that, along with hidden keepsakes and other evidence they had found in his home, they had matched a print from one of the homicide scenes to his boot.

In addition to the four primary incidents, the investigation into Williams includes probes into 48 cases of theft of women's underwear dating back to 2006. In the searches of his Ottawa home, police discovered stolen lingerie that was neatly stored, catalogued, and concealed.

In April 2010, Williams was placed on suicide watch after he tried to kill himself by wedging a stuffed cardboard toilet paper roll down his throat.

Confession

On February 7, 2010, Williams was interrogated at Ottawa Police Service headquarters by Detective Sergeant Jim Smyth, a member of the Ontario Provincial Police's Behavioural Sciences Unit. The interview started at 3 p.m. and by 7:45 p.m. he was describing his crimes. The interrogation lasted approximately ten hours. Excerpts of the confession were shown in court at Williams' sentencing hearing on October 20, 2010.

In the confession, Williams gave details of his crimes, including the sexual assaults in Tweed and 82 break-ins and thefts. Some of them occurred in Ottawa homes within walking distance of his Orleans, Ontario home where he lived with his wife. Other break-ins and thefts occurred in Belleville, and in Tweed, where the couple had had a cottage since 2004.

He also told police where they could find evidence, including hidden keepsakes, inside the Ottawa home. The couple had moved to a new house two months before he was interrogated by police. He told Detective Sergeant Jim Smyth where police could find the thousands of images he took of Lloyd and Comeau and the two women he sexually assaulted. He then identified on a map where he dumped Lloyd’s body. A video of the interrogation was made available to the public and was posted online by several newspapers and on YouTube.

Police Interrogation of Double-Murderer Joshua Ramsawmy

Police Interrogation of Double-Murderer Joshua Ramsawmy

Police Interrogation of Double-Murderer Joshua RamsawmyThis double-homicide victims were a mother and son: Cynthia Stack, 52, and her son, 22-year-old Sean Stack. They were found shot to death in their Orlando, Florida apartment July 18, 2018. The accused are a Guyanese Couple - both bank employees (Chase) at the time of the murder.Amelia Bissoon, 25, and her husband, 28-year-old Joshua Ramsawmy, were charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Cynthia and Sean. Murder charges were later dropped against Bissoon, and she agreed to cooperate with the State in the case against her husband. It appears that the motive for the double-murder was for the Guyanese couple to try to avoid getting caught. Investigators allege that Ms. Bissoon was involved in a scheme to defraud or exploit one of her elderly clients - the father and grand-father of the victims. Amelia Bissoon worked at Chase Bank in downtown Orlando.Cynthia Stack's father, who was elderly, was a loyal client of hers and followed her when she moved locations. Orlando Police Department investigators believe that Bissoon drafted two $25,000 checks from Cynthia's father's bank account in March of 2018 and made them out to one of Bissoon's family members, a minor. Ramsawmy then opened two accounts at Bank of America with the $50,000, documents show. Police say Cynthia Stack began to investigate what was going on with her father's account, and that as a result, Joshua murdered Cynthia and her adult son - to stop the investigation, so they could get away with their alleged scheme to defraud / steal from an elderly person. The State alleges that Ramsawmy bought a gun and used it to kill them both. Ramsawmy claims that he and his wife hired a hitman - as if that were a defense. He puts most of the blame on his wife.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-of-reddit-stories-2025-cheating-true-crime-aita-and-nsfw-stories--6476242/support.

The Moment She Realized She Killed Her Newborn

The Moment She Realized She Killed Her Newborn

The Moment She Realized She Killed Her NewbornMothers are often seen as protective angels who will do anything to protect their children, but in this case, she became her child's worst enemy. Officers were immediately dispatched to the location after receiving a 911 call about a mother contemplating murder. Viewer discretion is advised, as what you are about to see is not for the faint of heart. The children were trapped in a ticking time bomb, their home a pressure cooker ready to explode at any moment.Despite the mother dropping subtle hints about her unraveling mental state, the warning signs were about to be tragically overlooked. Her isolation was another factor fueling her intense urge to commit murder. Listen closely to what she says. Officers thought it would be best for everyone if the mother was taken to the hospital for further evaluation, but it wasn’t going to be of much help. She was discharged that day, and everything seemed fine for some time, until one day, 911 received a call from the mother again. The infant was no longer alive, and there were signs of brutality. Her older son was the only other witness to what had happened that day, hiding safely in his bedroom. However, the mother told the officer she didn’t know what had happened. No amount of regret was going to bring her son back to life now. This officer had changed the baby’s diaper and looked after him just a few days ago. His death had truly shaken him to his core. The police tried to explain the incident to the father, who was equally shocked. The mother was charged with first-degree murderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-of-reddit-stories-2025-cheating-true-crime-aita-and-nsfw-stories--6476242/support.
