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 o.f the interrogation was made available to the public and was posted online by several newspapers and on YouTube

What's Your Coolest Story Of INSTANT KARMA In A Long-Term RELATIONSHIP?

What's Your Coolest Story Of INSTANT KARMA In A Long-Term RELATIONSHIP?Instant karma in a long-term relationship can be incredibly satisfying, whether it’s a cheating partner getting exposed, a manipulative person facing their own tactics, or someone finally realizing the value of what they lost.One example could be a partner who repeatedly took their significant other for granted—ignoring them, lying, or even cheating—only to be left when their partner finally had enough. Shortly after, they see their ex thrive, find real happiness, and move on to someone better, while they struggle with regret and loneliness.Another classic case of instant karma might be a manipulative partner trying to control the relationship, only to end up in a situation where they are the ones being left behind or outplayed in their own game.These stories often highlight poetic justice—where someone gets exactly what they deserve, sometimes even within moments or days of their bad actions.Keywords:Instant Karma, Long-Term Relationship, Breakup, Cheating, Manipulation, Poetic Justice, Relationship Revenge, Getting What They Deserve, Ex Regret, Moving On, Betrayal, Toxic Relationship, Personal Growth, Karmic Justice, Emotional PaybackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.

People Who Have Been Catfished, How Did You Realize You Were Being Lied To?

People Who Have Been Catfished, How Did You Realize You Were Being Lied To?

People Who Have Been Catfished, How Did You Realize You Were Being Lied To?People who have been catfished often realize they’re being lied to in a variety of ways, and the stories behind it can be both heartbreaking and eye-opening. Here are some common signs people share when they realize they’ve been catfished:1. Avoiding Video Calls or In-Person MeetingsMany people catfishing others will make excuses to avoid showing their face in real-time, whether it’s through video calls or meeting up in person. They might say their camera is broken or that they’re “too busy” to meet up. A user might start to feel suspicious when this pattern continues.2. Inconsistencies in StoriesOver time, the catfish’s story might start to have inconsistencies. They might give conflicting details about their job, background, or personal life. Some even change their story multiple times, which makes it hard for the victim to keep up, eventually leading them to question what’s true.3. Suspicious PhotosA common red flag is when the person sends photos that seem too perfect or, on the flip side, appear to be taken from someone else's social media. Sometimes, the victim might find the same photos used in different places online, raising suspicions that the person isn't who they claim to be.4. Too Good to Be True Compliments or Over-the-Top AffectionWhen someone showers you with compliments too early or expresses extreme affection very quickly, it can sometimes feel “too perfect” and create a sense of urgency or dependency. This often makes the victim overlook warning signs because they are flattered or feel loved.5. Requests for Money or HelpA huge red flag in catfishing is when the other person asks for money, gifts, or help with something urgent—like a medical emergency, travel costs, or a “financial setback.” Victims might feel emotionally manipulated into helping someone they believe is real but who actually doesn’t exist.6. Over-Emotional ConnectionsSome people who are being catfished start to feel a deep emotional bond with the person they are talking to. When they realize something feels off, it can be hard to come to terms with the fact they may have been emotionally manipulated.7. Stalking or Trying to Find ThemEventually, many people get suspicious and try to search for more information about the person. They might look for social media profiles, reverse-image search their photos, or try to find common connections. Often, this leads to discovering that the person’s identity has been stolen or fabricated.Once they piece it together, they realize they’ve been catfished, which can be an emotional experience. It’s also a reminder to be cautious and protect your personal information when interacting online.Catfished, Online Dating, Red Flags, Video Calls, Inconsistencies, Suspicious Photos, Requests for Money, Emotional Manipulation, Fake Identity, Scams, Personal Safety, Social Media, Trust Issues, Manipulative Behavior, Relationship Warning SignsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
