Russell Williams - Above Suspicion - the fifth estate

Colonel Russell Williams seemed the embodiment of the military ideals of Duty and Honour, pilot for prime ministers and royalty, commander of the secret Canadian base in Persian. Gulf and in 2009 he was appointed commander of Canada's largest Air Force Base here in Trenton Ontario Russell Williams Fall From Grace is a terrifying reminder of the unpredictability of human behavior. We must remind you that none of the charges against him have yet been proven. in court this is what we have discovered began under the radar under the cover of Darkness with a mysterious person stalking the Ottawa suburb of Orleans and a series of robberies like the one that took place in January 2009 a family was returning from a trip to Toronto , while his teenager was unpacking, he noticed something strange.

My daughter came running down the stairs telling us that all her underwear was gone from her drawer and we laughed and said check the floor because you know what teenagers are like or check the laundry or whatever and she said no, in Seriously, there's nothing left in my drawer. Brenda Constantine and her husband Brian Rogers wouldn't laugh for long when her daughter discovered what else was missing, she came back upstairs and realized she had dresses. Her shoes were gone, all her swimsuits were gone, pictures of herself were gone, someone had gone through her family albums selecting pictures of her 15 year old daughter and the police found something even more disturbing, they told us they took some DNA evidence from my daughter's room from her desk where underwear was thrown around that area, we were warned to wash it with bleach, clean everything and of course my daughter didn't sleep in her room for 3 months after that, For Brenda and Brian, the crime was both strange and terrifying.

Someone was attacked, her 15 year old daughter, we didn't let her go anywhere or do anything alone, she wasn't allowed to stay home alone, her brothers were basically her bodyguards during the day and we and had friends watching over her. she too Orleans Ontario is a bedroom community for the nation's capital, home to many members of the military and their families at the time they inducted Russell Williams and his The Fast Track wife into the forces. Lieutenant Colonel Williams had been commander of Canadian Air Transport. The squadron was a key wartime job leadership the challenges of command the commanding officer of the Canadian Air Force was then Lieutenant General Angus Watt now retired the general says that even under the constant scrutiny and evaluation of military life Williams was one of the best and the brightest, unusually calm, very logical, very rational and able to produce good quality staff work, in a fairly short time, which is a valuable commodity in Ottawa, but in the neighborhood from Russell Williams, in the suburb of Orleans, the mood was far from calm, you know?

I remember talking to friends about it and some of them would get really scared and some of them would take it with a grain of salt, but you know, the ones who were really scared got really scared during 2008 and 2009, there were 34 similar breakups. -Invasions and attempted break-ins in the area that resulted in the theft of hundreds of women's underwear, all from homes not far from the home where Lt. Col. Williams lived. Ottawa police warned residents to be vigilant and called the incidents very peculiar in nature. because there was a suspect at the same time another search was underway to fill one of the key positions at the Canadian Air Force commanding officer at CFB Trenton.

Lieutenant General Angus Wad finally approved the successful candidate Russell Williams. You have to be good with people in In other words, you have to be a good leader, you have to be good with administration, you have to be good with the media and with the public, everything has to come in a package that gives us confidence. that you will do it. plus a victory commander and Russ had that whole package when Canada is at war, nowhere is this more evident than at the Trenton base, it is here where soldiers take their last steps on homeland before embarking to Afghanistan and where The Heroes return with 4,000 men and women are assigned to Trenton, the base command job is crucial in a ceremony in July 2009.

Now Col. Russell Williams is sworn in as the new commanding officer, as the wing commander Williams had accommodation on the base, but also owned a cabin in Tweed. Ontario about half an hour Drive north on Highway 37, a quiet little town that was about to become a lot more well-known for the wrong reason because some strange things that would soon become terrible were happening not far from CFB Trenton when we returned to Russell Williams, his neighbors. I saw that I thought he was kind of a loner because he never really had any friends there to talk to and the man who maybe knew him best and wasn't just an average person that was in my life, I mean.

We were very close to Tweed Ontario, population 5,200 about halfway between Toronto and Ottawa, a friendly city, especially on Canada Day, the kind of place where everyone seems to know each other. Colonel Russell Williams had owned this Twitter cabin for 5 years before taking command. Trenton Air Force Base in July 2009, its Cozy Cove Lane is, just as it sounds, an idyllic lakefront spot where no one locked their doors, at least not then, Williams' longtime neighbor Larry Jones , practically every day I would be here from time to time. and coming and going at all hours, you never knew because he is a very busy man and had a big job to do.

William's wife, Mary Elizabeth, worked in Ottawa and generally stayed at her home in Orleans. Janes says that the colonel was often alone in the cabin. of a loner because he never really had friends there to talk to, maybe twice a year you would have some friends there. One of Williams' visitors at Cozy Cove was Jeff Far 1982. I remember being there when he first bought it, I think. the deal was just done and he called me to come out and take a look and he gave me a tour of the place and was very excited to have a cabin.

They had known each other since 1982, when bearded 18-year-old Russell Williams was in his first year at the University of Toronto's Scarra campus. Jeff Farquar was assigned as his dorm roommate. It was a difficult start, for example, in the dorm we were in there were six of us and he assigned tasks to all of us, uh, two, two guys. He would be responsible for shopping, two more would be responsible for cleaning up dinners, etc., and I remember looking at him thinking who is this and who is this person. William's nickname was Drill Sergeant Sarge, for short, he was also the resident prankster he pulled. practical jokes involving sneaky surprises and opening closed doors, he would spend hours hiding in a roommate's closet, a trend that caught on, and then when the roommate came in and sat down, he would start working at his desk, We were jumping and screaming, you know? and scare the babes from the uh roommate, so it became a normal thing and okay, maybe Russ started this, but again, I don't see anything dark in that, Jeff Farar says his best friend shared little about Your background.

A divorced son at boarding school and at university, Williams rarely saw his family, usually spending weekends and holidays at the Residence, often alone in regards to a love life. Fara remembers that he had only one girlfriend in college and then a bad breakup was hard for him. I'm sure I've never seen him so hurt in his life and uh uh, I'm not sure of the exact time period, but maybe from his 20s onwards I didn't know he had girlfriends from his 20s to his 30s, yeah . So probably for about a 10 year period there, afterward he would think that relationship was off limits even to his closest friend, it wasn't an open topic and, like his parents' divorce or any situation with his family , I wasn't going to bother. at Pride and pick a scab, you know that's not something you want to do to any of your friends, but there was something that Russell Williams didn't keep to himself, even though he had studied economics for four years, he suddenly announced that he wanted to join the cluster.

A good Air Force student graduated and right after he said: I think I want to be a pilot and I said: what the hell did you do all this for? Do you know where that comes from? Apparently, at least in part, this Tom Cruz in the hit movie. Top Gun I feel the need for Need for Speed ​​and I was actually a little worried that he was exaggerating how I really thought he was trying to live that up and a couple of us knew that too. us pretty good and I thought, wow, he's really lost in a fantasy world here because he just had a recent nasty breakup, um and I kept thinking to myself, oh no, now he's going to be a jet fighter and get the girl back. .

In the years to come, Williams would fulfill his fantasy by becoming one of Canada's greatest pilots, flying not fighter jets, but transport planes to war zones and natural disasters, and planes ferrying prime ministers and other important figures around. the whole country and the world. Through it all, Williams was the friend. Jeff Parar knew him since college, enthusiastic trumpet player, amateur photographer MC at his wedding. Well, good evening, my name is Russ Williams and it is my pleasure and honor to welcome you on behalf of Jeff and Jodie, but there were many things that his friend had not yet shared.

The news of his impending marriage came as a complete shock, I mean, I was excited for him, but he hadn't been dating since college, except for sophomore year, maybe they've been married for almost 20 years now. Farquar says he thought the couple Mary Elizabeth Harman, now a charity executive, was good, but with her in Ottawa and him at the Trenton base, it was often a long-distance relationship and I can't tell you exactly what year was the one where he said, well, now I'm in Trenton and I stay in Cozy Cove quite a bit instead of traveling back to Ottawa and Mary Liz goes out on the weekends or I can go to Otwa on the weekends.

It was one weekend in the fall of 2007 that A series of unusual robberies began to unfold in and around Tweed. Russell Williams was in his cabin. Neighbor Larry Jones was next door when he received a frantic phone call from his daughter who lived nearby. She had returned home after a party to surprise. an intruder and running clothes Christine opened the door to go from the garage to the house and saw this Long Tall figure, uh, he ran through the door on the terrace, jumped the fence and ran into the bush, he thought it was just one of the neighborhood kids and nothing seemed to be missing, it would be years before the police told him anything different;

In fact, it would be years before anyone discovered it, starting in 2007, according to court documents, when Russell Williams was at his cabin in Tweed with a crowd of Strange thefts would follow lingerie and women's underwear stolen almost every time. in your own neighborhood, especially on Cozy Cove Lane. He was the same boss as the robberies near Ottawa in Orleans. Robberies sometimes so well executed that they were not even noticed when he took command at Trenton, the demands on Williams increased now responsible for thousands of military men and women and often in the public eye, but after his promotion and in July In 2009, according to police records, the frequency of robberies increased to 10 more in its first two months. as a wing commander and meanwhile Colonel Williams performed his official duties by playing golf with hockey great Johnny Bower to raise money for military families who were performing in a charity drive to send gift boxes to soldiers overseas, consolidating community relations, inviting local officials on a flight to the far north.

The colonel returned from the Arctic on September 16, 2009 and according to the activityPolice crime in Tweed was about to take a brutal turn in the early hours of September 17. A young mother was sleeping near her 8-week-old baby. She said that around 1:00 a.m. in the morning, an intruder invaded her home. sexually assaulted, took photographs and left around 3:00 a.m. m. that same day while police investigated the assault. Colonel Williams was on the base presiding over an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for pulling a plane onto the Trenton runway, the next night there was another robbery that went undetected at the time, incredibly at the same house where there was sexual assault took place.

A pattern of returning to the crime scene that would be repeated the next day in the Belleville arena. Colonel Williams took part in the opening of the youth hockey season, yes, I think I will have the opportunity to drop the puck at the beginning of the ceremony, ceremonial puck drop earlier in the week after there was a third Breakin In the scene. of sexual assault on the same day Williams hosted Defense Minister Peter M at CFB Trenton and, based on the charges against Williams at the end of September 2009, that pattern of criminal activity in Tweed would become even more extreme: the Last week of the month there were two more break-ins at a house not far from William's Cottage and then there was a third break-in at that same house in which a woman was found. alone at home when she was surprised by a male intruder, she said he blindfolded her, tied her up, cut off her clothes, choked her, beat her, sexually assaulted her and photographed her for 2 and a half hours when he asked her if she was going to kill, she says his response was no need, he told police he thought he heard her voice before, but couldn't identify her because both sexual assault victims are subject to a publication ban.

We will not reveal their names according to Larry Jones the day after the second sexual assault. assault the Ontario Provincial Police covered Cozy Cove Lane knocked on the door and if they were not home they returned the next day and followed up when they arrived at Russell Williams' door there was no answer the officer went to Jones' house. he said who lives next door I said Russ Williams commanding officer of CFB Trenton he says well I guess there's no point in looking at that guy then it's that simple uh Howard Gray and a cook from Maran have houses just a few miles apart on the highway 37, but we knew it was shortly after, um, shortly after it happened because things here are very fast and the word in Tweed was that the two sexual assaults must have been carried out by one person, there is a guy who is there for the women , I mean, I knew that somehow it had been no, you know, there are no two guys doing the same kind of things no, it had to be there, it had to be for me, there was definitely a connection and before long the police apparently thought they had their resident man from Tweed, in fact from Cozy Cove Lane.

Russell Williams' neighbor, Larry Jones, came home one day to find his house invaded by the OPP SWAT team. I said you're saying I'm a suspect, well yeah, you're our suspect. I said you must be joking. I said you should be. looking in the right direction I said, this is the wrong direction yes, unbelievable, unbelievable, remember the second sexual assault victim thought she recognized her attacker's voice, for some reason she assumed it was Larry Jones' voice Jones says that It took a half-hour 3 and 1 interrogation, fingerprints, DNA, a 3+ hour polygraph exam, and weeks of follow-up before the police finally told him he wasn't their man, but by then, for many people in Tweed it was too late, long after they took me away and the neighbor saw me get into the police car right away.

Larry Jones is the guy from Cozy Cove, he's the one who sexually sawed those S women along the way, so I was guilty in everyone's eyes after the break. What happened at a Maran Cook's? birthday I heard them calling me with the kind of tone of voice I had never heard before and the message that was left and what was going through your mind at that moment I knew that someone was really there to help me, I mean I knew it along the way from Tweed to Belleville there is a 150 year old farm. The woman who lives here teaches music classes at Trenton Air Force Base.

It was a mid-November afternoon on her birthday when Anne Maron, the cook, came home to prepare for her party at a friend's house. nearby place, so she was like waiting and rushing me to leave, she was alone in the house, she thought she rushed upstairs to change. I remember going to the bedroom and going to my dresser to tell you about the change. of the clothes I noticed that the nightstand drawers, the bedside tables, the drawers were open, not only were the drawers open, but some personal items that were there were missing, her sex toys, dildos, as she calls them, she immediately thought it was someone in the family. was playing a prank, it's just a little laugh, really, yeah, we were, we were, we were laughing a little bit about what kind of what kind of Yahoo would come and do that when her neighbor Howard Gray came to pick her up, they debated calling 911 and they asked me if I should call the police and I said no because they didn't even put ink on the paper.

I remember saying that all they will do is use us for a good laugh. at the coffee break, yeah, yeah, so it was, that's right, yeah, right, and I said there's no use doing it because they wouldn't even begin to take it seriously, so she, so I told her to take her things. we were not left alone here tonight and we went down the stairs, we turned around, we checked all the doors, all the windows, yes we went out, the last thing they did was check that the kitchen door was locked from the inside in the morning Next after the Party Gray took Maran Cook home again, she went up to his office to photocopy something before work, what he heard next was her scream, it was the kind of voice where you immediately react that something is wrong, He immediately reacted by running up the stairs, he found her speechless, trembling and uh she was just inside the office door about two steps away holding her hands like that looking at the screen it was the screen of an old computer that was rarely used had been activated the screensaver disabled and replaced next to a chilling message in large letters that said "go ahead, call the police." I want to show the judge your really big dildos.

Honestly, it's the first time I think the hairs on the back of my neck stand up because I was already outside. from Hollywood, it was right outside of Hollywood, so Maran Cook went through her bedroom and that's when I saw that my drawers, my underwear drawers, both of my drawers were open and empty and that's when I lost it, I lost it. The scream came as she opened a drawer and then, shaking, opened the other door and then the other big one and then it was a mess, then a mess because she realized someone must have been in the house when she was.

The night before, someone who came looking for her, hid in the closet and then wrote that message, opened the kitchen, Bol dead and left, and what went through your mind at that moment I knew that someone was really there to help me, I mean, I knew it. now, but he was mad for leaving that message, I mean, I know he wanted, he wanted to do more than just steal my dildos and my underwear, leave a live message and she was also convinced that it was somehow related with the sexual. assault in Tweed, but Maran Cook's home is located within the Belleville city limits, so the robbery was investigated by Belleville police.

I don't remember, was it a question or mine, guys, is this connected to Tweed, why what is happening? in the tweet I said well you have to know what is happening in the tweet, they admitted to you that they were not aware that we are in Belleville and that's op in the tweet when Anne Marcan Cook realized that there had been a glitch. To communicate, she began to tell everyone she could what had happened to her. Now I spread the messages to all the women in the area and where I work on the base and you know, just close the doors, close the doors, close the doors, you know, there's a guy out there, but the warnings wouldn't be enough to a 38 year old corporal at CFB Trenton who lived in Brighton Ontario about 30 kilometers from the base.

Mary France KO may have been a military man but she was also a free spirit according to ex-boyfriend and confidant Al Plant Insider she was an artist a bohemian um in love with life in general curiosity was one of her great things she um she uh wanted to discover the world She wanted to try every food available on the planet. She had the right job for that as a military flight attendant. In fact, Corporal KOMO had recently been a crew member on the plane carrying Prime Minister Steven Harper on a state visit to the Far East plant Alan talked to her when she came back she flew from Trenton over the Pacific to go to Japan and from there when they came back they flew over the Atlantic so she went around the world.

I don't know many people who have done that, so I was curious and happy for her, but because her dream came true 3 days later, on November 25, her body was discovered inside her house. she. The cause of death was her fixation, first described as suspected suicide and then reclassified as murder, like so many other things here. The full story would take time to come to light. Trenton, the same day Marie Fran Ko's body was found, Col. Russell Williams was being handcuffed and arrested laughing as part of a publicity stunt for the local United Way fundraising campaign. Later, officially informed of Ko's death, he wrote a letter of condolence to her family saying please.

Please let me know if there is anything he can do to help you during this very difficult time. He did not attend the funeral in the following months. Williams had his usual full schedule of events, the Olympic Torch Relay Christmas festivities. Consultations on relief operations with the Minister of Defense and Chief of the Defense Staff after the Haiti earthquake, always the consummate officer when we return, the crucial clue that led to Russell Williams says it gave me a scare, I said yes, I I did too and, uh, like you know something's not right here. Every time Colonel Russell Williams drove from CFB Trenton to his cabin in Tweed Ontario, he passed the house where a 27-year-old woman lived alone, her name was Jessica Lloyd, her brother Andy describes his sister as friendly and lively. , just very very witty, very outgoing, even people she didn't know, friends of mine that she just met, she would be her best friend in half an hour, so yeah, she was very outgoing, very, very funny January 28, 2010, Jessica Lloyd returned home after an evening.

She sent one last text to a friend before calling it a night, she said night, night, I think it was just like saying that was it and I'm assuming she was on her way to bed because it was 10:30 and she had She had to work at 8:00 in the morning and yes, that was the last we heard from her was that text message. It was that same night, around 3:00 a.m. m., that two local men drove south on Highway 37 toward Belleville to pick up a load in their truck, they didn't know it yet, but they also passed by Jessica Lloyd's house.

What was about to happen. It may be the most important event in this entire tragic story. It was cold with a full moon. ly Barker I was in the passenger seat fighting to stay awake. I was just kind of looking to see, you know, if I can see a wolf or something. I'm a wildlife buff so I'm always looking and even when I'm driving. I'm looking, uh, but you know, I was just looking to see if there's anything sniffing around, uh, and I happened to see the vehicle, what I saw was a pickup truck parked in a field some distance from both the road and the house. closest.

It was very strange because you never see anything like that at that time of year. You know, it just didn't seem right. I shouldn't have been there. That's what my cousin said. spine I said yeah, me too and uh like you know something's not right here Lyle Barker and his cousin kept driving, it would be a while before they understood exactly what they had seen later that day Andy Lloyd received a phone call from his mother Jessica had never come to work Andy went straight to her house, that's what was so strange because everything was there, you know, that's why we couldn't find out what had happened because of all her identification and I mean her cell phone , her purse and stuff, people.

Don't leave the house without being there, as photos of Jess were displayed everywhere over the next few days. There was a massive search with a police helicopter and the CFB Trenton Search and Rescue team, but something was missing. Authorities had not established a specific link to the sexual assaults in Tweed or the murder of Marie France Como two months earlier or the robbery at Anne Maran Cook's birthday party at the time.there was still no connection, they didn't know about my case and I'm sure they didn't think about The Tweet Girls or they were just looking for a missing girl after Lyle Barker and his cousin came back from his truck driving job, they saw Jessica's face Lloyd on all those missing signs when they noticed police vehicles around the house on Highway 37, they armed him. the house next to the field where Barker had seen the van parked in the middle of the night the house that Jessica Lloyd had disappeared from was when Lyall went to the police when they arrived at the field the weather was still cold it hadn't snowed since and there was tire tracks preserved by Cole exactly where Barker said it would be the opp who set up barricades checking car tires on Highway 37 a week after Jessica Lyd disappeared on Thursday, February 4.

One of those arrested was Colonel Russell Williams. Driving a pickup truck, they checked his tires and then let him go without Williams knowing. From that moment on he was under police surveillance. Jessica Lloyd's disappearance not only increased anxiety and Tweed but also

suspicion

s about Larry Jones. Janes says she reminded him of something strange that had happened a few years ago. Months earlier he was going hunting when his neighbor Loof walked toward him and crossed his lawn. He, Larry, what's going on today? I say, oh, just keep up with Russ, oh, and where do you hunt in the parish?

I said, well, you know where. the gulf course is yeah, I said well that's East Hungerford Road, I said just go down Carrier Road and that's where Hunap is, oh okay, anyway, I'm just heading to work, see you later, take care as you will see he would. Find out later what that conversation really meant on Sunday, February 7. Russell Williams was at his new home in Ottawa when the opp called him and asked him to come to the Ottawa Police Department to answer questions. It was reported that he thought they were going to ask about Larry Jones, instead of Williams. reported that the defunct tires on his SU SUV matched footprints in the field next to Jessica Lloyd's home.

During a 9-hour interrogation, he cooperated with police, investigators broke the sad news to the Lloyd family. They didn't say what they thought had happened, basically, that she was gone and that they had someone in custody. The next morning, Williams led police to the The Lloyds had to wait until the press conference to find out who had been charged with Jessica's murder. Colonel Russell Williams is the commander of CFB Trenton and that was also when Williams' neighbor, Larry Jones, learned where police had found Jessica Lloyd's body was located this morning near Kery Road in Tweed Township. It was the same place Jones had described to Russell Williams.

His favorite hunting grounds. Now, you put two and two together when you found out where he was. There are many paths in the past. the boonies that you could put a body in and no one would find her, but no, he had to pick the road that goes to my hunting camp and I said, well, Jesus, what's going on there, I wonder, it sounds like it's trying to set me up in his At the press conference, the police revealed that they had found the crucial tire track, but it was not Lyall Barker who told them where to look.

Then Barker received a serious phone call. I received an anonymous call saying that my pointy head told him I was worth his weight. in gold Larry Jones has no doubt that if it weren't for Barker's vigilance, he could very well be behind bars and Russell Williams wouldn't like the man to think he'd never be caught until he left those footprints behind the house. Jess Loy, who was a real sin of God for me if he hadn't been caught. I was in jail now. I'm sure a high-ranking military officer was charged today with some very serious crimes.

Williams' arrest hit like a bomb. I was at the funeral of an Air Force officer here in Ottawa. and some of my Air Force colleagues who were still in uniform said that Russ Williams had been arrested for murder, and of course my reaction was shock and dismay, like everyone else. Lieutenant General Angus wat had promoted Williams to commanding officer at Trenton, how could we have done that? I missed this. Is there something we did or didn't do that would have given us a clue? And everything I've heard and everything I've seen and everyone I've talked to has the same reaction.

There was no clue with the exception. From Russell Williams' wife, who hasn't spoken publicly since possible, no one took it harder than her friend Jeff Aror. I will never forget that day, of course. I heard the 5:00 news and I heard that name Williams and I heard murder charge and then I heard Cozy Cove and I what what and I jumped up and immediately turned on the TV and uh, right there on the news was Russ's face, his pictures were over and I'm telling you, it hit me like uh Yeah, it hit everyone, but this is your best friend for a quarter of a century.

It is impossible to imagine it. Sorry, how to react to that. I mean, he made me feel sick to my stomach. It felt like someone had kicked me in the groin so hard. they could a couple of times. I vomited. I just couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it. Farar says that he decided to speak up after realizing that he may never get the answers to the questions he needs to ask his friend, the main one being why. Obviously, I can't even imagine what the families of those victims are going through, but that just doesn't fit in any way with the person I've come to know and respect, and he wasn't just an average person who was in my life, I want I mean, we were very close and for it all to end there were some heinous crimes that I just don't understand and I still think there had to be something terribly bad that happened to Russ in those last few years that I produced this because I can't believe for a minute that was a bad seed, but how to explain all the terrible details, in addition to the murders and sexual assaults, of which Williams is accused?

Search warrants obtained by police for Williams' homes on Tweed in Ottawa led to boxes and boxes of women's clothing, not just bras and panties, but also swimsuits, robes and even shoes, as well as photographs of some of the young men and women who owned them all, apparently carefully stored and cataloged in a notebook that recorded when and where they were. stolen is how the police were able to tell Brian Rogers and Brenda Constantine, the daughter of Larry Jones, Christine and Maran Cook, and everyone else, that it was Russell Williams who had invaded his house. For many, like Marana Cook, it has taken a persistent toll on closed doors and I lost confidence if I have bad dreams, nightmares, but I can't go on very well, but I can't imagine the other girls, I mean, Jessica, she's dead. somehow.

I feel sorry for the poor Tweed girls and that's why I want him dead. She believes that if the police forces had better informed the residents about everything that happened, Jessica Lloyd could have been on guard, maybe she survived, nothing was said about anything and Jessica was not part of me, you know, she was a younger woman, she was not part. of the women around me, friends or friends of friends, so I mean I feel sorry that maybe she is still alive. There is no consolation or end in sight for those left behind, like Mar France Como's friend, He planted her present, her present.

As for me, just being involved in touching her, is that as for Russell Williams, he is in solitary confinement at the Detention Center in Napan, Ontario, at one point on suicide watch after reportedly attempting suicide by stuffing cardboard toilet paper down his throat. with him in time, I spoke to some people who, through other intermediaries, spoke to him and the response I received was immediately after the arrest. His psychological condition was very poor. His entire world had been blown up. him for him, yes, without a doubt, he had blown up his entire world, uh, and that continued until his suicide attempt, uh, and after a suicide attempt, the word I heard is that he reconciled with the situation and understands his destiny as a retired lieutenant.

General Angus Watt and so many others in uniform and doubt that the judgment of the judge of Colonel Russell Williams is undoubtedly harsh and this is a great betrayal, a great betrayal of the profession, a great betrayal of the honor of the military and we take it very personally. The people who knew Russ Williams, who guided him throughout his career, who helped him at key points, who selected him as I did for senior leadership positions, see this as the ultimate betrayal of that honor and will never do so. we will forgive.
