stinko & 2.2K thumbs-uppers:- It MAY be worth your while to try to think & learn when "attending a very interesting class"....there are already SO MANY do-nothings online, eh? cheers
Holy shit, yes, this describes JCS perfectly! Hell, I am literally going to university for Criminal Justice/Criminology, and he is better than most of my professors.
@Jason Wolf maybe it's less of caring and more of respect as an afterthought. He chose who he would "respect" and hold in"esteem", and who he wouldn't. But he respects and esteems himself the most, so he did the brutal shit that HE wanted to do. That would be his logic in guessing, not defending the guy at all. There's a special place in hell for people like this
@Valinor Feelings/empathy for human life isn't typically only felt for humans you can benefit from. Typically, humans have the capacity and tend to empathize with and feel for another human being just because it's naturally social beings' nature to. An inability to do that is a socio/psychopathic/narcissistic trait.
@Beautyalaritz Right, even Ted Bundy exhibited clear empathy for Liz Kloepfer. He felt bad that he incinerated one victim's head in her fireplace, and he felt urges to kill her but would make himself stay away from her during those periods so that he wouldn't hurt her. Even if it was a low level of empathy on the scale of things ("I care about your feelings enough to not murder you"), it was still something.
It makes you wonder: if he had spent much longer periods of time with some of his victims, would he have still killed them all? If he got to know them and had lengthy, real conversations with them? Probably, but who knows.
nah he's just concerned about his image in her eyes, he is clearly selfish. if he cared about his wifes feelings he never would have done all that fucked up shit
Beautyalaritz actually no, new research these days claim that they do but only for some people or 1 or who they have some kind of bond too, also they can easily show these emotions by turning them off and on but when there on they do feel them
I watched a video of the four most creepy interviews from serial killers here on YouTube and the reporter asked the man while showing the murderer a picture of his daughter as a little girl, “how would you feel if a man kidnapped, raped, and murdered your daughter?” He just said. “I wouldn’t appreciate it.” The reporter said, “that’s it? That’s all the response you have?” The murderer seemed dumb founded and said he compartmentalizes his victims and his family. He couldn’t even make the connection.
Eh, people say a lot of shit, but I feel like he was the only one I've watched where I felt like he truly regretted what he did. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like he had a compulsion he absolutely felt he needed to act on, and it wasn't necessarily something he was proud of. He didn't want to hurt his wife, or the reputation of the Canadian Armed Forces,. I could be wrong, of course. I'm not excusing what he did, just to be clear.
I mean, it's pretty normal to care more about your spouse than about random strangers. Though this guy's caring gap is definitely way wider than normal.
I believe this is due to his sociopathic nature. The girls who he murdered didn't know the facade he put on his entire life for his friends and family. He didn't want his wife to think badly of him because she did know that facade, and because he believed that SHE believed the lies. The most important thing for a sociopath is to be liked (by those who know them, not murder victims who clearly see past the lies). This is just my own personal, educated opinion. :) In contrast, a psychopath typically wouldn't care who likes them and who doesn't, as long as they get their way. The psychopath cares more for convenience in lies than its affect on others.
@Lee Price Sounds more like you have an anti-female bias. There's a difference between exclusive love and general empathy that you're conflating. If you read further down, a number of women clarify that they don't love all men the same as their partners, but they still feel empathy for men who are suffering. Same for me in terms of women. I hope you will reflect and eventually grow out of this immature mindset that women's perspectives are not to be trusted. As a man, let me inform you it reflects badly on your character. But I have hope you can change.
He doesnt care about her; it's said to appear as if he does have feelings. He knows the extent of the absolute depravity and embarrassment. Maybe if he says he's being honest "for his wife" she may be the only chance of anyone who could possibly search for empathy in him. He knows how much people are gonna despise the fact he's alive from this point on.
I don't believe he really cares about his wife and her feelings. I think what he really means is how this will affect the image of himself and his life, that he has carefully crafted in his mind, and his wife was an essential prop.
@Blake1720 Yeah, the wife is a real piece of work. She also said horrible stuff about the victim who claimed that the wife knew & protected him &. I think she threatened to sue the victim or something. Big yikes.
I think he only cares about his wife's feelings because he is afraid of what the repercussions will be with her. It could be that he respects her maybe. Just my opinion. It seems like he is more worried about his wife than the trouble he is in legally.
Yea he doesn’t know them so I’m his mind they’re just objects. I’ve heard stories where the man/attacker didn’t want to know the person’s name. There was a story where a man entered a home, and the woman wound up asking if she could have a beer first. And that made him completely change his course and he wound up talking and opening up to her and turning himself in. It personalized her to him. Just so weird getting into the heads of these ‘people’
@Lucy ‘Chews’ McGilliPuppy I like how you put people in quotes... as if they aren't people, lol. They are people, they aren't monsters, they aren't demons or the devil... they're just really shitty people. And people are capable of some very dark, terrible acts.
@Valinor You're kinda missing the point. Nobody is saying that you should be putting effort into empathizing with strangers of your species, it is an emergent property of a social species, not something you need to "bother" with. Just that the lack of feeling empathy potentially indicates a psychiatric disorder
It's because his wife treated him well. So he has feelings for his wife but no empathy feelings for any strangers. Jesus once said that even evil people love their friends or partner
Narcissists don't see the people in their lives as individuals, they view them as extensions of themselves. His wife probably didn't have much of her own life while they were married, more so he made her an accessory of his life.
Ehhh... Not to be that guy but after watching all of the JCS videos, I can't get enough and this one was a god send, he had elementary tactics and the "Colonel" was an idiot. Specific footprint and tiremark forensic experts? If Colonel Shit for Brains had ever watched ONE episode of CSI or had an IQ over 17 he would know the bs in those statements and it would have tore down the interrogator's credibility
@Chaz Mcdickinson I think it was mainly his arrogance. I think he just thought he was such "hot shit" that either no one would suspect him or that his title and reputation would be enough "protection" to have everything swept under the rug. He thought wrong though, and you're right. He made really stupid mistakes.
@Chaz Mcdickinson The interrogator isn't a random police officer, he's well known and very highly regarded, he's so good at extracting confessions that there was a case thrown out because of it!
@Jeff Schulz The detective (Jim Smyth) did an interview for the Behavior Panel which you can find on youtube. Apparently he wasn't at all confident it was him at the beginning, but over the course of the interrogation he begins to realize.
@Chaz Mcdickinson Someone else way down in the comments "there is actually a renowned footwear analyst from new brunswick. the reason he is so renowned is because he is the one who came up with the techniques examining footwear from the inside. identifying footprints from shoes. this guy is known for solving a murder here in miramichi. theres a whole forensic files episode on it, if you're interested
im not saying footwear analysis is valid one way or another, just that this person that he's probably referring to does actually exist xd"
I think he half wanted to get caught, wanted his sick gratification for pulling off this many attacks and murders. He more than likely knew he was caught as well.
Tom Lube I know they don’t expect you not to talk under torture. But they weren’t torturing him, they were just asking questions. And not even putting him under pressure really
A top secret security clearance, while the requirements are stiff, are generally given on a per job basis. A TS clearance just meant he COULD view TS materials if they pertained to his mission. This does not mean he can peruse a website of TS security files or anything like that.
@Eye Conqueror Well actually it works too well. The most effective torture can get people to confess to things they've never even thought about doing, which means unless specifically trained if you DID do something you'll be confessing to that too, anything to make it stop. Just the false positives and potential to force an innocent person to go through said torture makes it not worth it.
@Yowie I'm sorry it seemed that way to you, but the bulk of my comment was about how one could get false positives. But the point of my comment was that torture is indeed effective, TOO effective. This was in response to someone saying it was not effective. I mean the goal of torture is to get someone to confess to something, right? Its really good at that. Including making innocent people confess to things they've never done. But we're not just trying to get any old person to confess to an act, but the actual perpetrator of said act. So we do not use torture, which is basically you and I saying the same thing, I'm just defining it as super effective at getting confessions while its being defined elsewhere as ineffective because it gets false confessions. Both are true.
That is EXACTLY what I said & what I ws thinking throughout the interrogation!!!!! This is a COLONEL w/TOP SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE!!! And he breaks after 1hr of civilian interrogation??!! I'd say I ws speechless if I weren't so disgusted. THIS guy is our 'Best & Brightest' ?? Please - someone tell me he isn't typical of military brass. God help us
My guess is that he understood that it was all over; if he had ended the interview, the investigation would not have stopped and sooner or later the police would have accumulated enough evidence to bring charges.
Anne Payne Maybe however is odds would have been much greater iif he employed legal counsel they would have denied the, taking any dna or tire tracks and foot,prints they would have seen through the bluffs the prosecution had on the forensics would have made it much tougher. Make no mistake I am glad he was put away looking at things from a logical non emotional
He didn't cave in because of the basic interrogation, he caved in because the car, the tires, the boots and the date are already confirmed and the police is searching his house as they speak... which would only lead to more evidence found against him. Btw, the way the particular officer handles the situation is phenomenal. And part of it is that he makes it seem so easy. Not many interrogators have his talent. Just take a look at other interrogations.
EliasDanger I know some things about the Iraq wars that would blow some people’s minds, yes. Things like who were selected to run the country and why we selected them.
EliasDanger it was a little more Machiavellian. More like who can be controlled long term. Sadam Hussein was installed by the CIA, but we lost control of him.
@Eye Conqueror Idk, it could go both ways. I know if I knew the information the people who were torturing me wanted, I would give it to them to stop the agonizing pain being inflicted on me. Then again, I would say literally anything they wanted to hear to make them stop even if I didn't know the information they wanted.
Yes! This! I’m like, dude did you even go to SERE? How would you hold up under a brutal dictator that we were at war with if you were captured? After a day of no food in a tiny cage he’s giving up flight plans and aircraft specs and chain of command names and troop movements for a drink of water. So weak.
Mc Carthy yes you’re grandad is correct, he did not have nuclear capabilities. He did however have an arsenal of old chemical weapons from the Iran/Iraq war. Most were useless and destroyed in surgical strikes. Most people don’t know that Hussein worked for us and actually took directions from us. We used 9/11 to gin up support to replace him and reignite religious warfare in the region. The idea was to get rid of all the secular strong men who did a decent job of keeping everyone in line with brutal tactics. What would replace this system was the Arab Spring which saw an uprising in religious violence and sectarianism. Assad is the last Secular Strong man but probably won’t hold out much longer. The Western Powers intend for the Middle East to be in a state of perpetual violence.
@Danielle Byers everyone says that until they are interrogated. You realize the interrogator can read posture and can tell when you're lying most likely especially a detective.
@Robert Nicholas I hear you but that's exactly my point. Is it safe to assume that the Colonel had that same training? I didn't think one became a Colonel by riding a desk their entire military career? I also understand - and agree - that knowing the techniques doesn't always save you from being susceptible to them, we are human and he was also under extreme stress. However, it makes me question if he wanted to confess.
@Carter Brown OH... okay, now that makes more sense!! IDK how I missed that super important point? I was under the impression that he was high ranking military, an active leader. TY for the info, this is another reminder of the importance of details!!
Just FYI, any clearance level also requires an NTK (Need To Know) to be worth a shit. Just because you have a clearance doesn't mean they hand you a booklet with all information related to national security. People in that rank need a Top Secret by default, as a technicality, so all you need is a clean background. The guy doesn't know shit other than having access to some resources that could get him information, but those same resources would also raise huge red flags if the information he gets a hold of isn't relevant to his job (aka doesn't have a Need To Know that information). We can assume that the people who actually hold valuable information would have impressive qualities that render them a true asset to national security, and have a Need To Know for that information. Chances are they wouldn't break this easily, this guy's just a chump who worked his way through the ranks without particular excellence.
You assume a job title and knowledge cancels biology. No matter who you are, you’re human. Even this investigator, as good at what he does, is subject to the same mental fatigue and psychological attacks if it were deployed towards him. People in high ranks aren’t robots, they’re people too.
Theres like 2 people in this thread who seem to know their shit. The rest of you have no idea what you're talking about and yet are speaking so matter of factly. Very entertaining.
@A Salted Fishe but he was literally out, if he just called a lawyer from the start there was no way they couldve done anything, like at all, he believed the lies the detectives fed him that they know everything and he cant run, even in that situation you would instantly go call a lawyer, its just unbelievably stupid not to do that, so the fact that someone this high up didnt do that is very much worrying.
@Demarkil regular people who should be have extraordinary training and discipline, especially at the higher ranks. Sadly, that’s apparently not always the case.
@EliasDanger I'm sorry that you think these are skills and abilities needed to advance in the military. But if you listen to what the narrator says at the very beginning of this video you come much closer to understanding what kind of people military organizations actually select for.
@EliasDanger Exactly. And a person this arrogant and careless has managed to attain a high rank and Top Secret clearance in the most powerful military organization on the planet. Use that as your starting point rather than some imagined admiration of the military.
He committed a crime against a fellow citizen, motivated by his pathopsychology. That’s not the case in combat. The framing, and hence his responses are likely to be different.
No he has been keeping this secret for a long time he wants to let it out. If he was only doing it for a year then maybe you will be defensive but if you been keeping the secret for years and years it tires you out
This is different I will say. In this scenario, he feels guilt. He knows he did something wrong. If he got kidnapped from a different country, he wouldn't feel guilty. He would know that the right thing to do is not give up information, while in this case he knows he should give up the information
@Bryan L That's correct. Security clearance doesn't mean you are privy to all material up to and included your security clearance level. It's there because some of the material you have to read or handle will sometimes be secure documents. When I was serving in the military, I was cleared for the second highest security level (Top Secret, which was the highest level for national documents, but the top NATO security level I was not cleared for, which I think is called Cosmic Top Secret now, but we called it NATO Top Secret back then) because my job was to deliver documents to the correct individuals with the proper security clearance. Basically, you can't just give Top Secret documents to a random soldier and tell him to give them to an officer with Top Secret clearance. The courier also needs that clearance or he's not allowed to handle the documents. It was funny knowing that I had, as a private, a higher security clearance than most officers above me in the base, but the Top Secret documents themselves weren't that interesting most of the time. It was mostly just a bunch of [REDACTED] for [REDACTED].
Guilt is a powerful force irrelevant to the situations you’re implying

The detective has a very soothing, disarming voice, coupled with a strong psychological game. I can see why he's their interrogator for high profile cases. Thank you for the video!
This guy is a genius, he got a confession of multiple rapes and murders from an airforce colonel in just over one hour. By the time he finished he pretty much solved the case with not a single request for a lawyer. Incredible interrogation technique.
Naw, he was garbage. Total and utter garbage. A 3 year old could do a better interrogation. What he should have done was confuse him a little more. You sir need to learn what a real interrogation is.
@I BROKE INTO UR HOUSE AND STOLE UR CEREAL No cheese is nasty. What I'm saying is this detective needs to learn some good ol' fashioned originality. You understand?
I believe a lot of interrogations rely directly on the suspect. One suspect can take 6 hours with an interrogator to get a confession while another could take 5 minutes with the same interrogator. It is not necessarily the mind games played, some people want to get caught, others want to string it out as long as possible. He was a good interrogator in this instance, and the suspect was very willingly giving information.
Evans Automotive this interrogation was actually like 6-7 hours from the time he arrived. In my opinion, if he had not given the boot prints, he would have left the interrogation and bought himself a little time. He could have gone home and lawyered up soon after. He could potentially have fought the allegations, but he was going to be #1 suspect forever. The DNA on Marie France was too degraded to be tested I heard, so Russ’s DNA sample wasn’t going to incriminate him. The smart thing Det Smith did was convince him the DNA sample was soon to be matched. Most likely a good lie on his part. Anyway, Russ was not going to confess unless he was done, and the boot prints kind of sealed it (the search warrants were issued after that, and they would have found tons of evidence in Russ’s place). Still an amazing interrogation to get a full confession, but if Russ wore different shoes, he wasn’t confessing on this day and could even potentially be a free man to this day. Scary thought
cravenblade2 ok bud sorry didn’t know you were a detective with over 30,000 hours of interrogation time. Oh you’re not? Well you sure like to act like it
Except, it took more than 7 hours in there and 3-4 before he started confessing. But our host here is as much as a liar as this guy. He simply shifted the timestamp out of view and included his own. When he speeds up the time it's a lot more in reality, but gives the impression that it's on this fake timeframe that he inserts. He is doing that in every video, I bet. Weirdly, this makes the man appear as if he never said anything prior to his confession, because that is all cut out of the video. That's why this didn't impress me. Should have known that there is a lot more to it.
He was garbage.. these people were just weak .. I love these videos because I can see just how elementary these quote-unquote experts and their techniques actually are
@cravenblade2 You almost had me there. I was about to post a comment about your self important remarks and lack of basic spelling but I scrolled down a bit and realised you're having us all on. That was well played I have to admit.
@cravenblade2 I gotta say, while I may not understand the appeal in entertaining oneself in this manner, I can't fault the results you're getting. Youtube is the gathering grounds of the gullible and easily-led!
@Nemo actually it took almost 5 hours for him to break. The complete confession is on YouTube. It was 8 to 10 hours long I believe, and if my memory serves me 4 hours and 40 minutes is when he says "you got a map" in terms of Jessicas body just after the statement about "Them tearing his wife's new house up". JCS obviously cuts out tons of info for times sake. The detective did an amazing job nonetheless, but it wasn't in an hour.
@damselcausingdistress 81 truly I do thank you for correcting me and you're right after 4 hours 40 he managed to get him to start admitting what he did and that is pretty awesome.
@Nemo I agree. His silences made Russell so uncomfortable with the questions. I quite enjoy watching MOST interrogations, generally Canadian ones are good. US interrogators are typically good as well, but I've found far more bad or illegal tactics in US interrogators.
@Tony Morena I respect your opinion Tony, thank you. There are too many people who truly believe that their opinion is right and nobody should ever challenge them. I welcome the opinions of others and I am open to alternative critiques of my comment if they are done logically and respectfully. Perhaps with a different perspective I may even change my view of this video.
@damselcausingdistress 81 Thanks for the info. It gives a better sense of how drawn out interrogations can be in general. As opposed to portrayals on television that condense the process into a few dramatic minutes. Kudos to the interrogator in this case.
@gar7reever pretty sure it was actually like 7 to 9 hours, the whole interrogation that is I saw an article about 4 hours before he admitted anything so you are right
@damselcausingdistress 81 I totally agree, in the US some police officers use leading questions with a little bit of evidence they found mixed in the middle so the suspect picks up on that information and repeats it. Once that is done the officer would berate the suspect and use bullying tactics to extract a false confession. With many of the prisons being privatised with incentives for filling cells it's so easy to gain a conviction especially when you have crooked judges and district attorneys in the pockets of the privatised prison wardens. Its always the poor and mentally ill who cant afford competent lawyers. If they do get bail then theyve got the hundreds of bail bonds companies to deal with who are cropping up on every street corner in the poorest districts of America putting the poor into further financial hardship. I feel so bad for these people, with a justice system so bent in the favour of the wealthy the poor dont stand a chance.
@Brax1982 You "bet"? Oddly, all you have are bald assertions that you haven't demonstrated to comport with reality in any way. You've provided zero independently verified, falsifiable and peer-reviewed evidence yet you assert your position with confidence as if we're intended to believe you? Meet your burden of proof and demonstrate that the "host" is being deceptive in this video and, allegedly, all others. He clearly states these are excerpts and fast-forwarded portions are reflected in the timestamp. Why would he elect to include downtime prior to the interrogation in the timestamp and which reality do you experience that doesn't match up with the timestamp when it's accelerated forward? That's nonsensical. Again, do present your evidence as well as a working mechanism we can use to delineate your beliefs from delusions. Thanks!
The time it had taken to get the confession was a lot longer than an hour. There is a lot of footage that was redacted from the interview before the confession happened. In the actual video, there is a clock in the corner and the time jumps quite a bit in some places. When Smith askes Williams about when he started working at the base, the time jumps quite some time but in the video, Williams says " The Friday, I was". Parts are redacted all over the place. Plus after the confession, the interviews lasted for a week. I read this somewhere on line and thought I would love to see the rest of the interrogations for this case. But the confessions were redacted in most of what happened, ie how he tortured his victims.
@xebek No, there is no reality reflected in the timestamp. There is original video of this and it went on for 8 or 9 hours. The timestamp used in this video is self-made. The original timestamp is further down and moved out of view, as I explained. You can ask yourself why that is. It's featured in a 5th Estate video. Can't remember if I linked to it. The fast-forward is nonsense, because it's in relation to this manufactured timestamp, not the real one. Clearly the original poster believes that the guy got cracked in under 2 hours and it's one of the top comments. That's what we are responding to. And apparently 3k people like it, so they must think it''s true...right?
So, not to have myself being called delusional on the internet, heavens forbid...here is your proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj7QRP37Wn0 Do you see that "15" down there towards the beginning? And towards the end the "20"? Yes, it is not fully in view. But I'm sure you can still make it out. Ok, that's about 5 hours that I can visually confirm, not 8-9. And originally I said 7. Alright. I'll admit that much. Maybe they said in the video it was longer, not gonna watch it again. Anyway, that is clearly the ORIGINAL timeframe. For some reason our presenter here chose to focus with a close-up on the upper part of the original footage, inserting another counter. That he then comically fast-forwards as if that means something. Why would you do that other than being dramatic and deceitful?
He was just lucky that Russel actually believed he's doomed and can't do anything about it anymore and I honestly think another luck the investigator had is that he liked confesing, i really think he was proud of that and relieving it while telling the story.
He’s one of the best detectives. A masterclass in interrogation. He’s a legend in this community! They even use his videos for some training techniques. We need more like him in the US.
@Devoted2Mariah I totally agree though this comment section started to go through the way of the troll so there's plenty of comments here criticising his skills as if they could do better behind their computer screens. I could only imagine how difficult it would be to get a person to confess about something they done with the knowledge that if they say anything incriminating then they could face many years in prison. With that being said i don't think I would ever have the skills to do that especially against any high ranking officer in the army so thats why I say that the detective is such an incredible interrogator.
the guy who drove past the house and saw the suv probably didn’t think much of it and was debating contacting police due to it being such a small amount of potential irrelevant information, but this shows how something small like seeing a car at 3 am can be so important.
Yes im gonna start calling the cops everytime i see a car parked somewhere where i havent seen it being parked before. Perfect use of police resources. Yes officer there is a car parked here, you better come quick something might be going on, maybe.
Nomen Nescio did you watch the video? he called the police after that person went missing the same night he saw the car there. Very good use of police resources as he would have went on to kill more women
@Fireball006 In this case yes, which is a 1 in a billion chance that something like that is going on just because you seen a parked car. Imagine if people called the cops everytime they saw a parked car somewhere. White people should stop calling the cops literally all day fucking long just because "something might be going on".
Nomen Nescio don’t know how you brought race into this but when you hear that someone is missing and you seen a car by their house the night they went missing then yes call the police
I’m not saying call the police if you see a car i’m saying if you have some info that can might help save someone life then go and call the police
@Fireball006 If you heard about someone going missing then yes, i mean i wouldnt ever call the cops for whatever reason but i see why you might. But your comment made it seem like i should call the cops whenever i see a car parked somewhere where i havent seen it parked before, just because there might be a crime going on maybe. And thats stupid as hell.
Sarah Kirschling I’m searching for the least creepy witty response to your excellent purple response, but all I can do is bow to your funny. It’s off the scale. 😎

Mike Litoris I didn’t know there were “Karens” out there calling the cops on every car they see, but @Nomen nescio is apparently a car or a car justice warrior and knows better
@J K No one even said anything about people calling everytime they saw a car parked somewhere. You are the only one offering up this insane scenario as if someone is arguing about it. The guy called because he saw a suspicious car near the home of a woman that had GONE MISSING. Yes, you call that in to report it.
Nomen Nescio that’s not what they implied. They only called when the missing report was issued, which makes a lot of sense. It wasn’t a waste of police resources since the guy didn’t call it in until that. Surprised you got so many upvotes, honestly
@J K You cant say that's stupid as hell when you're the one who's interpreted it that way, I dont think any normal person in their right mind thought "huh oh yeah call cops on any car", but rather "That car seems a little suspicious, I'll make a mental note of that". Before you go calling people stupid and generalizing races, I'd suggest you take a look at yourself.
I feel awful for everyone this man affected. The women who's lives he stole, the women he robbed and stalked, his wife who thought she knew, trusted, and loved this man. The psychological damage and toll caused by this one man... is catastrophic.
He broke into over 80 homes all around where he lived and the only way he was even on anyone's radar is because some guy happened to see his car parked suspiciously at 3 AM. How has any of the evidence before then ever pointed to this guy in that city.
I'm suprised I found this in an old playlist with all the videos being forced to be private rn. I have been loving the content JCS since about june and haven't gotten to see this until now since it was unlisted before I really dived into this channel. I hope you are able to transition well and I will be sad that you are forced to move off of youtube.
This man honestly scares me. Seeing how calm he is while confessing to brutally murdering/violating these women is chilling. Wow. My heart goes out to his victims and their families.
@Tracy Howard-Allison your missing the most craziest part, that lady that he worked with once. He knew from the first time he seen her he was going to kill her. Let that sink in.
@IcarusFalls because there is nothing you can appeal to in them. They have zero empathy. That part of their soul is dead. And it shows in their eyes when they no longer feel they have to hide it.
I watch/read about a LOT of true crime, but this one in particular really scared me. I had to stop multiple times to give myself a mental break! Hands started trembling and everything. This guy is a monster. He's describing it like he's talking about the fucking weather. Sick
Infinitely better than the 99.999% of cases where the murderer justifies it or denies it all the way to the grave though. As horrific as it is the families at least have closure.
The most chilling part to me was: "I told her we were gonna head out. Y'know, get a bite to eat. We started to leave, and then I bashed her in the back of her head. Her skull, kinda...gave way."
@* VENOM * this interrogation was actually about 9 hours, doesn't detract from the incredible talent of Smyth but it wasn't done in under an hour it was more like 4 to 5 hours before he got him to admit anything

You’ve got two murders, multiple rapes, and a cross dressing Air Force colonel yet 90% of the comments are about his male pattern baldness. Gotta love the internet.
Yes! Yes! So proud of the human race - myself included ofcause,,,it is scary...but this kind of subject matter is tough to process, some of IT probably stems from that.
@David B I'm just saying that OP should specify that the stealing is the problem there, and not solely the cross dressing part. Currently it lumps cross dressing (not panty thievery) with rape and murder.
@Lucy F You're completely missing the point of why he said it to begin with. There are things to talk about other than his baldness like the way he cross dressed, he never stated it in a negative way. Your urge to get upset is obscuring you from what they intended in the OP.
I have to say that Jim Smith’s interrogation of Russel Williams was absolutely amazing and should be studied by anyone interested in true crime and police procedure. It was truly riveting to watch the entire interrogation work it’s way towards Williams ‘ confession. Especially since Williams walked into the room believing he was a local celebrity who could get away with anything.....Bravo Jim Smith!
37:00 Listen to the detective really carefully. Man is so taken aback that he nearly loses his composure. Takes him only half a second to fill the space with a cleaver qualifying question about the map to save face. Williams might be a cold stone killer. But Smyth is an even colder professional. Mad respect!
couldnt help but think of that opening bit from the wire which was based on true events (the classic hooking the perp up to a printer and printing out sheets of paper with a big red FALSE or green TRUE in the middle); the bigger the lie, the more they believe!
@DickDickstein This is exactly why people like nurses, doctor, engineers, and the like are often not selected for jury duty. One of the sides knows all they have is BS those analytical type people are the most likely to put their emotions aside. They are also the more likely to understand the evidence and processes explained to them and see potential weaknesses in them. I have watched an engineer who is an expert in his given field develop tunnel vision and put his reputation on the line so day the cause of X was Y only to have it be Z. Experts can be wrong. At the exact same time another engineer we brought in for the same investigation repeatedly said to everyone, including the first expert, that while the theory itself is valid the evidence does not point to that and more testing was needed.
The point here is two fold. First) Experts can be wrong and develop tunnel vision, I have personally witnessed it. Second) The expert was very convincing and it took another expert to recognize the error. The second expert was also able to accompany the evidence the entire way from discovery to testing. This does not happen in criminal cases. You have to trust the group who is trying to take your liberty away.
@Adam Ferguson think it was the opening scene of the last season - they hook one of the suspects up to a printer and tell him its a lie detector machine
they also convince him that he's been sold out just for a mcdonalds meal (which is bullshit but he buys it)
you know, i think that's possibly why the detective brought up CSI as a point of reference before he asked for forensic evidence.
hugely popular cop drama where the capabilities of forensic evidence are exaggerated in new and inventive ways each week = an ideal point of reference for interrogators to give suspects, for when they later show off inadmissible evidence as if it were total proof
@RIPPERTON I must confess that I did initially take that renowned expert on foot ware impressions line seriously. My thinking was that boot outsole and tire tread patters are in no way unique to him (though a matching combination of both would've been suspicious enough). However, any possible damage or wear captured by the impressions (provided they were clear enough) would've been unique to him.
there is actually a renowned footwear analyst from new brunswick. the reason he is so renowned is because he is the one who came up with the techniques examining footwear from the inside. identifying footprints from shoes. this guy is known for solving a murder here in miramichi. theres a whole forensic files episode on it, if you're interested
im not saying footwear analysis is valid one way or another, just that this person that he's probably referring to does actually exist xd
He also had a wife whom he obviously cares about to not get her involved. If she wasn't there or would get shamed I don't picture him giving up anything
@Stephanie Ann That is exactly why he is not a "psychopath" (out of use term, on thumbnail) or sociopath. He cared about his wife. He felt bad for someone he loved. He actually loved someone. He dehumanized his victims, as soldiers are trained to do in war, but he had a conscience when it concerned those he cared about. Sociopaths (people with antisocial personality disorder) are not capable of that. He's pretty far gone, and he's done some horrific things, but that particular illness is something he does not have.
@V H Significantly less people in Canada means significantly less serial killers, unless you're talking about per capita, but idk if that is even true. ~36 million for canada while the US has ~291 million people.
@V H That's because it has a significantly lower population too ofc it has less serial killers, America's rural states have less killers too, you wanna tell me 2 + 2 = 4 next?
@Elle p it's the opposite of what you said, Canada is the joke nation, that annoyingly puts on an act to pretend to be different than the usa or uk for some identity, you all aren't really that different and barely have a different identity, Canadians are nicer? Myth, Canadians use the Metric system? Also myth, what do Canadiand even have that separates them from Americans? Even if anything Canadians said was true,it changes nothing, Oklahoma is nicer than Texas but that doesn't make them any culturally different at all.
I don't think it's because he's Canadian. I think he confessed because he is in the military and the voice inside him was telling him to do so. 'Man up, and take what you deserve'
Because Canadians don’t have the same style of Miranda rights as Americans. Once you are read your rights snd owed an attorney, they can still force you in an interview. This was affirmed in a case where the suspect asked for his lawyer 46 times and the police would not let him go back to his jail cell. In the us, anything said after evoking your right to a lawyer is inadmissible in court. Basically, Canadians are subject to harsher interviewing because they don’t have the option to run to their cell. Americans culture is very focused on personal freedoms, whereas Canada’s is not. It makes sense.
Typically a pet staring at a wall or into nothingness is a creepy thing. Imagine going to the basement and seeing your pet stare at something only to find that this time your pet was actually staring at the devil. When he described that part of the story I felt chills. What a horrible person.
this guy got a murder confession and body dumpsite details out of this dude faster than i can get my girlfriend to tell me what she wants to do about dinner every night. great job
Yeah, the only reference people have of interrogations of this size are from films, where they have to fit everything into a 5-minute scene. However, I've also seen other interrogations, and whilst they're all quite impressive, this interrogator trumps all the others. In fact, I have definitely seen him in another interrogation where he is just as impressive.
yes. if you are high educated and maybe not from usa. for sure there are as many beautiful and intelligent people. but the system is not for education in human category. ( i am talking bout the justice sys )
Yes They review who he his Before which man or woman.will talk Sometimes it dont work They switch They pick this man Because of his demeanor Very methodical Soft reader give William's impression I will walk thru this Not REALIZING all is calculated just for him You can see.when he realize i screw up
Ashley Garden and some art/artists SUCK, which really sucks because it’s sometimes the art of trapping a monster, like this man. Imagine it was handled through the military and they didn’t even consider taking him seriously because of his rank and familiarity to them? Or even just some less skilled detective? This guy is pretty much as good as it gets, or more accurately this interrogation was done about as close to perfect as it gets. He could have gotten away if he had refused to talk without a lawyer and if that lawyer made a good case in court. Also an art form, although when used to assist guilty people navigate through the courts and avoid justice, it’s much more difficult to appreciate.
@booognish interesting point re an interrogation via his own.
The reason why police shouldn't investigate themselves (ditto any body/institution), and the closeness of the police and courts is detrimental to fair outcomes.
Its actually so fascinating to see the subconscious reactions of the suspects as they are confronted in different ways by the interrogator. I can see why so many people are interested in psychology. It really is an interesting subject.
25:20 His confession may have come only towards the latter half of this video, but I believe Russell was completely broken psychologically by this point. He could've asked for his lawyer but didn't. He wasn't obligated to continue the conversation with DS Smyth yet he did. Truly the work of a masterclass interrogator.
ETA: Those whining about why this video is unlisted and demanding to know why could consider sending the JCS team a dollar or two via patreon. That unlocks more content and supports the work they do.
No he wouldnt. The tire prints were rare and matched identically to Williams' jeep. His footprints were also matched identically to footprints left at the victims house along with the tire tracks.
He would never have been able to explain that away.
He was fucked from the second s he arrived at the station.

Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse wrong. There isn’t a court out there thats gonna convict on those two things alone. Why do you think he made up that whole story about having the best shoe-print analyzer in the country? And rare or otherwise unless there is some type of serial number “rare” doesn’t cut it. It was tread and any number of that tire could be in that city as well as that shoe print as far as anyone knows. Its not a unique marker. Absolutely no way he would’ve gotten a murder conviction on those two things alone. Period. Because as well as all that those two things only put him at the scene, not inside the house and there was no DNA evidence of any kind to place him in contact with the woman or place him inside the house at any point. He could make up any number of lies as to why those were there but he wouldn’t have to because those things wouldn’t be enough to even hold him. The narrator said it even, he could’ve walked out of that interview at any time before he copped to the murder. They didn’t even know it was murder until he confessed
@The Introspectre nope, they probably would t be enough by themselves although I've seen convictions come back on far less evidence. There were many other examples of incriminating evidence, such as the deleted victim photographs he took, and less damning but equally devastating items belonging to the victims which williams took and stored at his home, such as the panties and brassieres he took from their homes. The combined evidence pool would hang buried him regardless of whether he spoke or not. I'm afraid his admittance simply confirmed what these fantastic detectives already knew and could already prove.
Edit: Its a common tactic to say they're free to leave any time they choose to, but there is no chance he would having left the corridor, never mi d the building. Its a clever tactic to give the subject a false sense of security. If Williams had tried to leave he would have been detained at the other side of the door.
You see, the police dont interview people when theyre at a disadvantage. They ARREST people in order to get time to build up their evidence, but sometimes they already have enough evidence to build a case without a confession and interviewing suspects is generally the final section of the arrest phase. They've already built the foundation of their case by the time they come to interview suspects and whilst it's true that certain answers suspects give can affect the outcome of the arrest phase, sometimes theyre only conducted to confirm the polices suspicions. That's what happened here.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse You talk about the evidence at his house but they wouldn’t have gotten the warrant. He really could’ve walked out he wasn’t under arrest and they didn’t have enough to hold him to get a warrant to investigate. He had a mountain of evidence locked behind the very solid vault door of plausible deniability. They lied to get him there. He was a colonel in the military they were gonna need more than that to bring him down or even hold him. There are way more cases that go dead at interrogation than are solved. So many more murders go unsolved especially once you break the first 48 hour mark. Dude was free and clear until he talked.
@The Introspectre wouldnt have gotten a warrant? You clearly have zero familiarity with arrest procedures. With a rare tire match and footwear match from the victims driveway they would have a warrant within the length of time it took the judge to sign it off!
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse if they could’ve gotten a warrant they would’ve immediately. I don’t understand the condescension. And again, even in the interrogation he lied about having the best analyzer and even the narrator alludes to the fact that this was an embellishment and that this evidence isn’t as conclusive as the interrogator was making it seem. Rare doesn’t mean unique. They aren’t just gonna give a warrant because something is rare. Any number of Suvs could’ve had those tires and any number of people could’ve had those shoes, they are not gonna get a warrant on that. They cant even place the vehicle there technically. You could lie and say someone changed the tires; no GPS saying yea this specific vehicle was there, no license plate. Way to condescend while presenting a very flimsy and naive argument.
@The Introspectre did you not listen to the video? The police were executing the warrant as soon as Russell Williams entered the police station! They HAD the warrant!
You simply have no clue about evidence building in cases.
They had the warrant and were executing it as they interviewed Williams.
@The Introspectre yawn. I couldn't be bothered reading your comment but I'm assuming it involved questioning my credibility, over exaggerating your own intellect, and possibly and underhanded insult or two.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse both you commenters make good points. I don’t know who’s right, you or Crimson. I think Williams was an idiot for agreeing to go into the interview. I would have called a lawyer right away, especially since he knew that he was guilty. The question is then how quickly would they have been able to get the warrants. They probably would not have been able to get them if he had not agreed to go in for an interview because many undiscovered culprits could have had those tire tracks. They didn’t even have the footwear evidence against him at that point. They only had the tire tracks at that point. So, I have to agree with Crimson that you are wrong. My opinion is that he could have gotten away with everything if he was a little shrewder and not gone in for that interview, and instead, gotten a lawyer right away.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse I think they were bluffing him a lot in the interview. When he came in for the interview, they didn’t yet know he had those same boots. They only knew he had the same tires. They didn’t have search warrants either yet when he came in for the interview. They were bluffing him on that also. But, their suspicion of him definitely increased very quickly as he answered their first few questions. An innocent person would have instantly stood up and asked for a lawyer while loudly protesting their innocence as soon as they realized they were being questioned about some murders. If he had any real intelligence, he would’ve loudly and violently admonished the detective for even thinking a colonel like himself could have anything to do with this case. He should have said: “Are you guys fucking nuts? Do you know who I am in the community? I’m not answering any of your questions. I’m leaving now and phoning up my lawyer.” I don’t know how you think they could’ve held him with only a match on the tire tracks. And, they didn’t have any warrants yet. They only got the warrants after he started acquiescing to their line of questioning. And, I don’t even think they needed the warrants and they were just bluffing him on that because as he started admitted everything.
He could have claimed he was having an affair with her, and parked away from the house, he could also follow that up by saying she was also seeing someone else so him parking away benefitted both of them and that if this other person found out they wouldn't be happy, redirecting the murder to someone else and at the same time his show of guilt and anxiety would be because of being unfaithful to his wife. They would ask why he didn't come forward and he would respond with wanting to keep the whole affair a secret from his wife, if he gave evidence she would find out about the affair.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse you might have missed the part where Williams willingly allowed the police to inspect his boots during the interview. The video skips ahead during that part but there's 18 minutes of the interview cut out just after the 24 minute mark. If he had lawyered up instead of cooperating he wouldn't have been free and clear but driving the same type of vehicle with the same brand of offroad tire and living near several attacks is not enough for the warrant or a conviction. The investigation into him wouldn't have ended and they had DNA from one victim who was forcibly confined so they definitely would have taken Williams' DNA from the coffee cup he drank from and matched it to that to get a warrant if he had lawyered up or followed him around until acquiring a sample if he hadn't accidentally given one in the interview. They also might have eventually found the body and gained more evidence from that or other parts of the investigation.
That doesn't change the fact that they didn't have much of anything on him at the beginning of the interrogation though. Suspicion but not enough for a warrant so if Williams had shut up, gotten a lawyer, and cleared the evidence out of his house, which admittedly is not the easiest thing to do perfectly when police are following you, he could have gotten away with it, potentially. So you are kind of wrong but still kind of right because the investigation might have shaken all kinds of things loose from the people around Williams like his wife or friends that suddenly realize they have information about him. You're kind of a rude dick that didn't pay enough attention, just fyi
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse You keep saying rare tire print but it is still a mass produced tire and fairly common for an SUV.
You're sitting over here acting like they had a conclusive DNA match and not just a tire tread match. People may have been convicted on less, many people are convicted of crimes they didn't even commit so that's a moot point, but people have definitely been found not guilty despite way more evidence against them and having way shadier backgrounds than a career military man. So yeah, a great prosecutor with the right jury and judge could get a conviction but a great defense attorney with the right judge and jury could get him off. Whatever his odds were of avoiding conviction, whether low or high, I'm sure we can both agree they went way down after he confessed and provided evidence against himself. Maybe you can't though, you seem pretty invested in "winning" here and are resorting to being a prick so who knows. For someone whobdoesnt are about my opinion you sure spent a lot of words responding. Do you even believe yourself?
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse Being passive aggressive instead of defending yourself is pretty good evidence you realise you are a clown. At least you can admit that, even in an underhanded way.
@ɠơơɠƖყ ɱơơɠƖყ too much text sister. Have you still not grasped the fact that I care very little what random nobodies have to say? Unless you squeeze out the inferred superiority, subtle insults and covert hostilities I'm not going to waste precious seconds of my life reading a rehashed diatribe which draws parallels with practically every other comment directed at me. Dilute or do one, and be original.
@Brenda I agree. Circumstantial evidence is definitely difficult to convict on, but in Britain that wouldn't necessarily be considered circumstantial. It places him at the residence of a murder victim within the time frame of her disappearance. I'm not sure thats circumstantial though
Don't be ridiculous... He knew there was no way out and this was basically a formality. Didn't want to cause a mess for the military to deal with, perhaps. Quite possibly also might have wanted to confess, because he was disappointed - as he says - in himself because of his urges. Although that might just be him setting up the best line of defense for a later trial.
Certainly smarter than to boast or be uncooperative.
The interrogator did next to zero to make this happen. Not only did Williams accept the informal style by letting the interrogator use his (one) firstname...later he even offers him the nickname? Why??? I refuse to believe that someone in this line of career would let himself be treated like this unless he simply chooses to.
Regarding the amusing fight in here: The problem is that the defense hinges on JCS having all the facts. Which seems not to be the case. Shouldn't trust any old Youtuber to spread nothing but gospel. This channel seems to focus on promoting interrogation "techniques" that seem more fitting to use on kindergarten children than adults. Especially those who are capable of severe brutality and calculated acts. All of the accused are either dumb as bricks (Lazarus) or acting to get a lesser sentence when they know they are done for (like probably Williams, here). To believe for one second that these people can be impressed with "ego-up" and such nonsense...as if.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse hey man it seems you don't have anything else to do besides argue. They deadass say that the shoe shit was a bluff & dismissiable.
Could you not ruin a great video & just take the L?? Like how you said before that you planned to leave it??
@ɴ ɪ ᴛ ᴇ . some people (1) enjoy trolling too much (2) have egos inflated to the point where they are unable to admit being wrong and (3) honestly are just unpleasant people. I'd say this guy is all three, and honestly, people should disengage. Lol
I highly respect the interviewer who did everything right, like out of a science book, combined with credible bluffing, however it shouldn't be underestimated that this suspected wanted to be caught to get his series of crimes stopped as he wasn't able stopping it himself. Like his unconscious self made his intelligence fail on him, if you what I mean, not a native speaker here...
Plot twist: the shoe-print actually belonged to a mail man. It was a complete coincidence that Russel was wearing the same brand of footwear on the day the police interview took place. On the night of the break in, he was in fact wearing a pair of flip flops and a swim suit that he had stolen from a 14 year old bedroom a short while ago.
@jedi1706 fan there a video featuring a policewoman called stephanie Lazarus, who got caught fire a murder over 2 and a half decades after she killed the victim.
The police make up some story about fine art crime and trick Lazarus into entering an interrogation room, but all the time they tell her she is free to leave.
Once the questioning became difficult, Lazarus exercised her "right to leave" and was promptly arrested before even leaving the room.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse i‘ve seen many bad youtube comment feeds in my time lol but you have got to be one of the most arrogant and condescending users i‘ve ever seen while being completely wrong for most of your ‚arguments‘
@James Liggins it's too satisfying seeing this fool spend so much time "trolling" though. I'm certain they initially thought they were totally right but after being thoroughly shot down and called an idiot they acted like they were just trolling. It's something I always love to see on the internet, the "oh I was just trolling, hah got you" defence
Wow Crimson....You think that is all they had or ended with? This case was open and shut without a confession. The warrant and finding His possessions and photos told enough to send him away for good

@The Introspectre They (foot prints and tire tracks) both have unique markers. The detective even states that shoe prints are as unique as fingerprints and goes into why.
There are differences in wear, flaws on both which reflects variances in pressure and distinctive markings caused by the way you walk and drive, the things you've walked on and/or ran over. Look deeper into the forensic science of these things.
@TheSP33DFREAK It's a sign of intelligence not to argue with statements that are obviously untrue and can be verified simply by fact-checking. In this post-truth era, it's ridiculous to argue with somebody who doesn't believe in objective truth and facts.
"As shoes and tires are used, their physical features change over time. This is called wear, and is often reflected in the imprint or pattern left behind. In the case of a tire track, if a vehicle is out of alignment, the right front tire may be heavily worn on the outer edge, leaving a unique wear pattern. A forensic examiner can use that wear pattern along with the tread pattern and information gained from database searches to positively match that impression to the suspect’s vehicle."
It's not the tire or footprint that is unique, it's the wear.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse my friend, don't be so nasty. Your handle is Irish, and if you are, maybe you don't understand the way the legal system works on this side of the pond. I'm glad this man was caught and so happy he's been held accountable for what he's done. But from a legal standpoint, he would have been FAR better off by lawyering up in the first place.
The investigators clearly state they are bluffing in this video over and over. Would he have got off? Eh, probably not. BUT, he made their jobs easy by not getting legal representation. Which I'm glad of. Hopefully more dumb criminals fall for that shite. That being said, the people you're arguing with aren't wrong. He made a grave mistake in not seeking counsel.
@Justin Mercer at least you were decent, so I'll reciprocate your decency.
I had said earlier in this thread that I'm not american but I still maintain evidence building is NOT a consideration in many of these people I'm into it with. They simply watch too much csi and know little about how to formulate a case defence or prosecution.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse I appreciate you recognizing that. Just as an aside, I find interactions are more productive when we're civil. Well most interactions anyway lol. Sometimes we gotta be wild apes.
But to your point yes, many if not most people apply csi logic to real life crimes. I think where the disconnect might lay is that at least in the U.S. ( can't speak for other countries, but I've [unfortunately] been on both sides of the law. Minor in the criminal side but experienced on the other) is cops have every legal right to lie and play up the "civilians" idea that csi type forensics exist. If you believe a tire print is as unique as a finger print, there is no protocol in place to keep a u.s. cop from misleading you. They can tell you the earth is flat if they believe it will help to convict you. That's why it's important (no matter how smart you are) to have legal counsel at all times before talking to the law. Innocent or not.
No, the search warrant for this two properties would have found the collection of items he stole from women. Forensic tests would have probably pinned some of these items to the missing women.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse no, you are completely wrong on the claim that the 'you are free to leave at any time' is simply a scare tactic. disregarding the fact that this is canada, and those rights read to the colonel are legally binding - meaning using them as otherwise would be a severe breach of a citizen's security - the colonel has no reasonable level of evidence levelled against him as others have already mentioned in this thread.
he accepted this interview voluntarily, and as such, the act of stopping and leaving the interview would be within the colonel's authority as a 'non-suspicious' citizen as well. that is not to say that the colonel wasn't actually suspicious (as we know); having the exact same tire tracks and shoeprints were definitely so, it was a valid hunch that prosecutors could've gone on. but nowhere near incriminating in either an interrogation or a courtroom. they would be aggravating factors to a foundational argument.
you will find good sir, that unless the judge is senile or inexperienced, a warrant for an ARREST would be a farcry from the level of evidence initially found.
@Sam Dilworth hed been seen at the victims's residence, during the correct time frame. Combine that with the rare print tyre match and bingo... You have a search warrant.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse geez, you still here 3 months later defending your case? if this if that is easy after the fact..... now it’s only opinions dude. Let it go, go outside, enjoy life..... or go crack another case, Russ is done with!
He wouldn’t have walked anywhere except into a cell. They had plenty of evidence against him, a confession is an obvious bonus and great to add in hopes of getting a conviction I court.
@Lexine Bate They had DNA from an attack and one murder. He videod two assaults. They had a search warrant and were searching his residence as he sat in the interrogation room. Even if he had walked out they would have arrested him shortly after from the search findings. Then they would have got a warrant for his DNA. This was one of the easiest open and shut cases in history
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse those are still both circumstantial and a lawyer could show that beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't him. That along with him being a colonel with ts clearance would have helped his defense immensely. A confession or DNA is all that would have made the case
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse the extra evidence you added is damning and definitely would have helped their case, but I don't think they ever would have gotten a warrant for that if he hadn't confessed
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse he definitely had a choice. The interrogator stated multiple times that if he wanted to speak to a lawyer he could do so immediately. Had he demanded to speak to a lawyer before offering any sort of collection of possible evidence, he would have walked. Guaranteed. End of discussion.
I love how y'all arguing over who has the most police procedure knowledge when I doubt any of you work in law enforcement. Which means you all must of been on the wrong side of the law 🤨😂
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse These morons yelling at you in the comments have no clue what they're talking about. No they wouldn't have convicted him for the shoe and tire prints, but that's more than enough to issue a warrant.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse You’re wrong, with a good lawyer the case would’ve easily been extended another month or two if this guy had just shut up. Some people don’t seem to be able to do so and neither can you! If the detectives had pulled some strings they might’ve been able to get a warrant and search him further; but no way the tire tracks and the boot prints alone were enough to convict him that day.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse they don't only interview when they have a strong foundation in the case. You can see that though other examples even on this channel

Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse I’ve got your back mo chára
Everyone still going on about this ... needs to watch the video. And maybe read some other relate material.
Witnesses talking about the sighting a silver SUV and the tyre tracks were what put them on to Williams in the first place. He had already lied previously about something else at a checkpoint, so was at this point under police surveillance. While he was in this interview, a warrant had ALREADY BEEN ISSUED for his house. They would have found enough stuff there for the 80+breakins and sexual assaults, which alone would have had put him in prison for life. Not quite as sure about the murders and the locations of the bodies, but he itemised and fetishised mementos such as underwear, so he likely had something left at home that would have led them on to solving at least several of the unsolved crimes (although most of his sentence is being served concurrently, if you total up everything but the life sentenes, you've still got 100+ years of time to serve). He most likely would have spent at least most of the rest of his life in gaol just on the break and entry.
If he stfu, what they would have gotten from the warrant would have already have been enough to at least put him in gaol for the rest of his life (82 counts of break and and end his military career and marriage, which in turn probably would have been enough leverage to get him to talk as much as he did in this interview anyway. His moral compass obviously wasn't completely fucked, he still gave them the victim's location and talked pretty freely once the gig was up, without asking for anything in return.
At the very very least, he certainly was not walking out of here. Once he walked in, there was no scenario in which he was leaving that interrogation room a free man, they were just sizing him up for confession to make things easier and to cover all bases (including the recovery of the murder victim).
I know this is late, you're probably tired of replying to this thread, but I'd like to point out that there was no way he was walking.
This interview had finessed him into a confession. But the search of both of his homes being conducted during the interview was real.
He was also the prime suspect of another murder which was briefly touched on in this video, so I believe that they had a ton already to execute the warrant.
Actually the "evidence " of tire prints and shoe prints were not that specific. Common tires and shoes. And size. And without denials or admissions. Insufficient to convict and therefor probbaly insufficient to get prosecutor to even try. Stfu and he would have walked. They d be watching him forever but no conviction.
Idk about the tire tracks, but if the boots where military issue, than his defenscouldve been that is wasn't him, due to military issued gear is basically identical besides individual sizes.
Had he not showed up to the interrogation with the same boots he used for some murders, I highly doubt they would of had him sentenced had he also not confessed. Eitherway, this interrogator is a legend.
They don't even need a warrant to search his house. They can just get permission from his wife.
Didn't think of that did You? There are a ton of other things you didn't think of.
The amount of possible moves the police can make from that point is staggering. And if all else fails they can just frame him.
Anyone who thinks he would walk is like a naive little kid. 😂😂😂
The reason cops work so hard to get a confession is to save time and money(a modern trial costs tens of millions of dollars and takes years), not because they dont have enough proof.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse It’s obvious that it’s YOU who have absolutely no idea about how the justice system works, let alone evidence gathering. It’s innocent until proven guilty. All because some detectives who have a tire print, which btw was EXTREMELY COMMON not rare, and footprints that match his doesn’t mean the judge is going to issue a warrant. The judge wouldn’t even entertain the notion of the tire being his it would only be the footprint, which from what I gather they didn’t have at this point. The reason why this interview is so amazing is because it was the only thing that slapped the cuffs around his wrist. Everything else could be written off by doubt or be considered circumstantial. He was just an arrogant freak who fell for the games of the detective who was in a whole other league than him. If he was a smart and cunning murderer the second they called him in he would of lawyered up and got rid of all the evidence he had at his house. By the time they would of gotten a search warrant or arrest warrant, if they even could, everything physical would of been destroyed and they would of been left with a tire print and foot print. He wouldn’t of gotten convicted on that, and if you believe he would you’re a moron who should stop commenting on YouTube because even by YouTube’s standards your an idiot.
But not for long If you dont cooperat you become the prime traget. And he allready was. They would have searched his House They would have found all the underwear and photos and maybe even Blood or Hair from the Killings.
Also this kind of Criminal was only starting out. His urges were becomeing more and more and he was working him self up. He was already murdering Wemon. He would not have stoped. Its only a matter of time till they would have got him.
RetributionAngel Well if he immediately lawyered up and got rid of the evidence at his home it would of been a hard case to crack. We are talking about ifs and should haves here though. If the cops called him to come in and he immediately called a lawyer before going in and got rid of all the physical evidence at his house then the only thing they would of had were tire tracks and footprints. Neither one of those are enough to get an arrest warrant but the footprints might have been enough for a search warrant. However, if he got rid of the physical evidence at home they wouldn’t of found underwear or the boots. He was an arrogant person though which is why he got caught. He thought he was untouchable. Which is why all that remained at his house. If you watch crime documentaries the people who get away are those that leave no evidence, and the evidence they do leave behind can’t be traced back to them because they burned everything they used to begin with. Many people have done crimes just like his and haven’t gotten caught because of lack of evidence. The cops more than likely know who the perpetrators are but can’t do anything about it. Detectives and behavior science units are not dumb and usually know immediately. They have to prove it though.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse He didn't make his best move. He had a choice to walk away or to remain to talk. He made the worse of the 2 choices as simple as that. It is simply logic.
Even though this comment was 6 months ago now. I just wanna say The Introspectre is right for the most part. Also, Ni Siochain Gan Saoirse just comes off as someone who is not willing to find common ground or come to an agreement on anything.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse It’s weird. Your basic position is probably right. But literally everything you’ve said in support of it is completely wrong. I dunno how you’ve managed that
@Matthew Vaughan in all honesty, the vast majority of pretty much everything I've said in responses has been purely for personal entertainment. People criticise EVERYONE on YouTube, for ANY thing, and I just enjoy winding those people up. Its kept me entertained for the past, what, year or so? A decent return on any single comment, if I'm being honest. I've had my fun but it's getting a bit creepy now, and the reply war has lost its fun factor so I'll just own up now and say thank you for all the enjoyment you gave me folks.
I never really meant any insult, but it was great fun playing a character, and I only hope I never upset anyone too much, and maybe even made people think for a second, about anything, anything at all...
Tha6s the gift of humanity to make people use their intelligence and get the neurons firing round your synapses.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse That’s cool bro, I guess, but my synapses are telling me that you’re just saying that as a get-out to avoid having to delete each comment individually lol. I do believe that you didn’t mean to be insulting though, so it’s all good
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse It's so funny seeing someone bite this hard on trolls, even after half a year. Screams insecurity to everyone (except yourself, clearly).
@Matthew Vaughan naah. I stand by what I said, Thatcher was screwed regardless if what he said in interview, but when idiots come back with insults I just feed them.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse Why are you so condescending? Your lack of ability to take criticism and be at all objective makes any valid points you have seem a lot less credible. You both makes good points, but I too believe they would have had a hard time holding him prior to the confession - at least, at the time of this particular interview.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse dude, they couldn't already have proven it - that's literally the entire reason they had him in there and desperately wanted him to confess. they lied to him in order to coax out the truth. it's literally what this whole video is about. looks like that went completely over your head.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse If "being fucked" is a spectrum, then he was "less fucked" at the beginning and "totally fucked" by confessing. Sure, they might have succeeded without a confession, but the confession seals the deal.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse dude it’s pretty sad/hilarious that you still comment in this thread. I know there’s a quarantine now but you need to get a life.
Courts don’t convict, jury’s do. He was fucked from the get go and he would have never walked. Based on the tire prints alone they could have gotten a warrant for the rest. There was dna, and while foot impressions are NOT like fingerprints, every single shoe that has been worn has very unique and distinct marks on the sole that would have been matched to him. They had dna. He would be in prison regardless, it just would have taken longer and more money.
@Golifa Primo I've watched many videos on this subject, and only 40000 of that tyre were produced, so they are incredibly rare. Most car tyres are sold in the millions.
He said he was "disappointed" and he was HOPING this might not have happened again if not caught but was not sure...
When confronted with the crimes he realised it was all over, but did not deny any charges, unlike Stephen McDaniel 😒
He could have asked for lawyer but did not because I believe Russ was willing to give the information and confess. I believe during the interrogation he did realise what horrible things he did.
So you write a wrongful point about the video, get proven wrong and immediately go on to dismiss the comments and claim you were just playing stupid to wind people up when you clearly weren't, sad man.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse I know the interrogator claimed they had a warrant and were executing it simultaneously with the interrogation. However, I wasn't clear on whether or not that was a bluff. Unless, it was after a certain point in the confession chronology, which I can no longer remember exactly. At the time during the vid that this was mentioned, I remember questioning to myself whether or not that could be true; I don't recall them ever clarifying this claim.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse | Imagine continuously responding 7 months to a straight ass whooping through comments. Would’ve thought you’d be putting those 8 yrs of British courts expertise to better use by now.
@Johnathan Bogarin i appreciate your efforts, however mediocre they may be, to have some form of impact on my mood or my day or whatever else, but if that was indeed your intention, then sadly you were as disappointing as your conception was to your Mother.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse just going to put it out there because you seem like an arrogant bore, but shoe prints are not as unique as a finger print, unless only one pair of those boots was ever manufactured. I worked as a criminal lawyer for 15 years so as eloquent as you may seem, much of what you say is total crap. As JCS says himself, it’s bluff. The interrogator is incredibly skilled, and it’s only at the point where he pretends his wife knows that he spills. Warrants may have been typed up but they wouldn’t have been granted ahead of this interview based on tyre tracks.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse oh Jesus! Were you a magistrate by any chance? That would explain the inflated ego and cluelessness combined. I mean I met lawyers who were really bad at their jobs and should have been struck off but none who would argue that 1 in 40000 was compelling evidence. Court reporter? Sketch artist? Please tell me you didn’t spend 8 years with peoples freedom in your hands.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse did you even watch? It clearly states that the tire tracks and shoe prints would be admissible in court because he's not the only one who could own those tires and shoes. (A.k.a GWRD) the Detective was bluffing so he would confess Russell couldve easily walked out any time he wanted up to a certain point.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse I mean if he'd stfu they never would have had his boot impressions. And I don't see any judge ordering a search warrant on him just for 1 piece of circumstantial evidence, even in Canada. With only the tire impressions, they never would have got him..
i can only imagine the victory feeling the detective must feel when Russell says "got a map"

So basically this is what happened in that interrogation room: Detective: You see when humans breath out CO2 it makes certain pattern, Okay? So here's a print out of a picture we took of the suspect's CO2 pattern at the scene and here's yours and we have world renowned CO2 expert who analyzed both of these and you see both patterns are identical, tell me where is she? Russ: I can't believe this is happening, this is way too much science for me. Anyway here's my confession and please let me know if you'd like to know anything specific. Case closed!
idk if it's my social anxiety or what but the ability of the BSU people to be comfortable in the awkward conversations before the suspect realizes what's going on always amazes me. just insane talent
Never heard of him. I can't find anything about him on Google. Even the narrator says he wasn't a world renowned expert. He just printed off the copies.
I was suprised that the police hadn't done the tire and foot prints prior to being told about the SUV. The tire prints could e eliminated from innocent neighbors easily
Will look up that epic Nike This went on for years The tire print When cops did road stoppage he look down and notice He could not believe it From there forensic came in Overall it takes many to fulfilled his last rite
@Gary Kast no, I've seen the Ariel photos of her house and the diagrams of his path.. there is a lot of empty space around her property, he came right off the road and round the side/back of her house then walked quite a distance up to it leaving the footprints too.
Which part didn't I grasp? I think I understood just fine, and you're just annoyed by my tone. I might not have argued with that, but it isn't the route you took.
@Zack Colbourne thank you lmao i commented basically the same thing and glad to see someone else agrees. god i fuckin hate that "word" its sooooo cringe
I've seen CSI mentioned in other interviews as well. I think they are trying to appear more intimidating that way by giving the impression that their capabilities are "tv like"
I just want to thank you, your videos have introduced me to a field that I'm genuinely interested in. I'm highly considering even going to college for it, not Criminal Psychology specifically, but some aspect of Psychology, I'm thinking Trauma or emergency care type stuff, maybe working as a case worker for victims in the police department, something like that.. Thank you, for introducing me to what may possibly become my career..
Hey, I'm a little late to the party but I just wanted to chime in with that I lived in Trenton during the time of this happening. I was in Highschool, and I had worked at KFC where Mr.Williams would often come in to get food after his shift still in uniform. I found out later that the murder (of Jessica) had taken place previous to me seeing him, and it always stuck with me that people are out there that can commit murder and still go out for fast food as if nothing had happened. Also for the record, he was one of the only people to actively praise the coleslaw at KFC and that is why I knew deep down something was wrong with him.
I like KFC traditional chicken. Their coleslaw doesn't stand out as remarkable one way or the other for me. Never before heard coleslaw choice being diagnostic of psychopathology but you learn something new every day.
Idk man, I'm Canadian so our KFC coleslaw is just basically a light-green slop that tastes vaguely of cabbage. Also for everyone saying I'm taking the murders lightly, you have to understand that at the time of this happening I was only 15-16 and I had no relation to the family whatsoever. It absolutely is a tragedy and I guess I didn't make myself clear on the fact that I find this behavior abhorrent, and how terrifying it is to know that he was walking amongst people I knew as well as myself on a day to day basis. I just wanted to lighten the mood after a pretty dim and bleak video and so I made a joke. Thanks for the feedback regardless, and enjoy your day.
@A Dog's Human You know, I'm a Yank and writing this in 2019. We have an occupier of our presidential mansion who LOVES him some KFC. Think that means anything?
....LMAO AT YOUR COMMENT. BUT HEY, YOU KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING!!!! always trust your gut instinct. Not if you are a bleached blonde....😎🤗🤣😂 talking bout the dramatic bimbos in the beginning of video. Would live to see those interrogations. Take care...
@Henrik doesn'r matter. He's in Quebec serving a life sentence. Here he's gonna be in debt for life, although not sure his wife( probably ex by now) has given any money up yer.
My dear a psychopath can murder a child, wash his hands and then go eat a sandwich. Their brains are not wired like a normal human, they lack the very primal thing that makes us human, caring and compassion. This man is a monster. Always remember be careful of men (mostly) that are super nice, almost nice at nasium, that glib superficial niceness can be a precursor to other deeper issues., not always but be cognizant of this. My mom always told me to be careful of the quiet men, knowing what I know now I would be more careful of the really nice ones. It's really scary too because often they are very articulate in speech and academically advanced.....look at Ted Bundy!! All I know is I'm glad I'm married I would never be good at being single bc I would not trust any man and I would have to send a lot of money doing background checks.....OMG I watch too much crime TV...LOL
@Keegos Ewww light green coleslaw? Here in the UK its a cream pasty colour with carroty bits. hey you dont think the coleslaw comment could be something more do ya?
Research shows that criminals have pretty mundain lives despite sometimes committing things they know go are against society’s rules.
I remember reading about one burglar who, when asked why he didn’t steal as many things in one of the houses, answered that he had to cut the burglary short because his wife had called him to know if he had bought any milk and he realized he hadn’t.
So yeah it might seem strange at first glance, but just because someday is capable of killing someone doesn’t mean he can’t be hungry the next day and have some fast food out of convenience. Because it’s just what everybody does.
These comments are TERRIFYING! So many people enjoy KFC coleslaw... who could imagine so many psychopaths roam amongst us?!?!? 😳 Do you also prefer Law & Order over CSI!?!? 🥺🥺

Liking KFC coleslaw is weird, but understandable. If he liked the mashed potatoes and gravy (oh sweet Jesus), then you've got a maniac on your hands.
I know the feeling. When I was in middle school, we had this security guard who always gave me the creeps. Just something about him was... Off. Otherwise, he was a pretty normal guy. I attended a church in my town and there was always this woman who sat by herself in the back left pew. Fast forward about 5 years and that security guard is suddenly on the news. Turns out, 15 years prior, he had kidnapped a girl from the school and kept her in his house. He had just started working at the school and convinced her that her parents didn't love her and that he'd take care of her. He fed her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and gave her just a bucket to relieve herself in. The woman I mentioned that sat alone in my church happened to be the woman he kidnapped. He, after many years, ended up allowing her to leave the house and go into town. She made friends with a local convenience store owner and noticed, in his store, that there was a missing persons poster with her picture on it. Once she felt comfortable with the convenience store owner, she told him that that was her. He sheltered her as he informed the police. I didn't know how to feel. I suppose I feel like it made me more aware of how the world around me is so very different from how I pictured and hoped it would be. Maybe a bit of my faith in humanity died that day. I don't know.
@dukadar o'dear I worked at KFC in highschool and trust me, that coleslaw is practically plastic before the Mayo get mixed into it. I haven't been able to eat coleslaw from any restaurant since 😭
since last night i’ve just been watching these and honestly it’s fascinating (not in a weird creepy way) but like from the detectives pov and how many psychological games are being played almost like chess moves, you play your move and observe your suspect and notice the smallest signs in their behavior & body language to determine what to do next. hats off to these guys you do an amazing job
I've lived in Ottawa all my life. Best friend lived in Belleville/Trenton area. This man terrified the province. Cathartic to see Russ get dunked upon.
This detective's voice is pure and perfect ASMR. Droning, soft, monotone, reassuring when necessary. I can see how and why he could get literally anyone to admit their crimes. Hell I'd want to admit to every wrong thing I've ever done just to have him talk more.
This is literally my favorite channel. I don't like watching criminal shows because they really play into the fear of the situation, but JCS presents the case in such an enjoyable and straightforward way. Thank you so much for the hours of entertainment, I really appreciate the work you put in to these videos!
I googled the detective & saw that in 2011, it was decided that the same tactics he used in this confession were used against a guy who shook a child to death & suddenly all his techniques were labeled as a negative. Interesting how when his tactics get a confession in one case, he's a genius but when a case gets dropped, he's now the bad guy.
And he's such an amazing writer! The way be describes complex ideas and theories and thought patterns is just brilliant. Clear and concise without dumbing it down
My goodness I hope this detective knows how brilliant he is and the degree of difficulty there in just totally blown away I am a salesman and this detective is incredible thank goodness his skills are being used for this but wow his talent is off the charts it’s crazy to think how rare a skill set this is and how it’s not compensated well enough.
Wow this investigator actually got a full confession and from an almost serial killer not alot of detectives can say that. Props to the whole team getting this creep off the streets.
@The Musical Stylings of Brent Bunn I can answer that: because they have rings through their noses, which are connected to their horns. Horny material doesn't evaporate.
God is going to get all the wicked eventually. They may escape prison from the NWO, but God will bind them with everlasting chains of darkness. They will never escape.
Even tho you cannot, in the purest definition of the word, call yourself "free" - put things into context, you can still take a walk when you want, still look your loved ones in the eyes when you want, still go buy a beer or a pizza when you want. Still see the stars, the sun and moon when you want.I'll take that over prison any day of the week.
Every one of these is like a train wreck, you don't want to look - but you can't look away. Brilliant channel and insight. I like that the commentary is left to a minimum, only when needed, just to clarify techniques etc.
I love how you break down their history and how this influences their way of thinking. You really present these investigations. You should be on Netflix!
The fact that he said multiple times that he could speak with a lawyer and even said "would you like to speak with a lawyer?" And was still able to coax a confession. This is how things should work
@Zachary Carrier much Higher than the US example: when i was growing up in the 90s it was my dream to visit USA. Now i want to move to Canada and wouldn't visit the US for free even if i was paid to visit all the landmarks. So disappointing.
@Zachary Carrier 100% correct. Canadian here and the criminal justice system is just as corrupt here, but nobody's ready for that convo lol. This guys is jus a stellar example of a good cop. he doesn't represent the broken system.
I really hate COPS the show this type of info is much better and challenged the mind cause I was like I have a story to tell to the investigator. He didn’t threaten the dude let him tell his story without handcuffs. 🧐 That 🕵️♂️ had to dive into his world and ask following questions. I would have stop after the sex part. Like boi you did what... yup no poker face I’m bluffing😔
@Tom Cole I totally agree with both of those later statements, but there is definitely reported corruption in the RCMP, Municipal governments that control local police forces, and in the officials of high rank in the OPP. It is definitely very covert compared to the United States, but present none the less. A lot of the info is available through a google search. The more informed we are, the more good we can do in our communities :)
Please look into how the police force treats our indigenous communities now...look into residential schools... look into upper and lower Canada slaves... we have a very similar history.
@Kathleen MacDonald I know how the police deal with our natives, its the same way the police (and the government, might I add) deal with most things, incompetently.
I'm aware residential schools existed.
Slavery was abolished all throughout the British empire (which we were a part of) 30+ years before Canada's confederation with a few individual provinces having already abolished it or made steps toward its abolition.
If you had read my reply competently you would know that I said "...we do not have the same history of racism as America..." which is true, we do not share the same history of racism as America, Canada does have a history of racism but it is far less overt and severe as America's history on it.
Tom Cole you just agreed with my original point, so I’m not sure why the hostility. I’m leaving the comments now because YouTube comment fighting does nothing. Hope you have a good day (and I’m saying that genuinely, not everyone is taking a disingenuous tone with you)
@Zachary Carrier Actually, Canadian Police, and soldiers are trained at a higher level than an average American police or soldier primarily due to the massive army size difference meaning soldiers can have more focus put on them, and lack of equipment requires better soldiers and police, the Canadian Military is much better at stuff like spec-ops than the US military, it is just a fact.
@Kathleen MacDonald Have you not seen the American Justice system? I believe a certain individual died around the time of your comment, along with many more due to American police negligence, the Canadian police system is by no means perfect, but it is a hell of a lot better than the American system. Do not speak out of your ass, to compare the Canadian Police to the very undertrained American police is insane.
@Kathleen MacDonald I am saying our problem is not as bad as it is in the US, also the RCMP has started cracking down on the kidnapping issues, people being kidnapped is not the RCMP being bad (except for the very few kidnapped by the rcmp which I could not find a single source on btw) the issue would be the RCMP not doing anything about it, which they started doing stuff about. You are speaking out of your ass, the RCMP was horrible 10 years ago but they have changed and are doing a lot better, so not think that they are even nearly as bad as the American Police who are trained to shoot first ask later
I find this video to be the one I keep coming back to over all the other JCS videos, something about the way Russel describes the acts that he performs is so different form any other confession. He seems so shameful, I almost empathize with him, which is incredibly scary. He doesn't have the lack of empathy disposition of any other suspect in these videos. Chris Watts and Jennifer Pan try to feign it, but it's so clearly not genuine, many others like Dalia Dippolito, Jodi Arias, Stephanie Lazarus simply don't even pretend to be sorry. Williams feels like he genuinely hates the person he's become behind that stoic persona. He's very clearly a monster and I don't have remorse for him, but I find him to be an immensely fascinating person to watch speak.
Genuinely interested to know, how many of these interviews if the suspect got a lawyer immediately and refused to say anything at all without one present would have ended differently? Would any of them have managed to escape any punishment whatsoever due to lack of evidence? Would some get lesser sentences? And why do they not ask for a lawyer right away? If anyone can answer this I would love that.
Watch the JCS Casey Anthony video and you’ll get all your answers.

This channel is gold. I am only interested in the psychology of criminals, but most channels concentrate on everything around the crime but the interrogation of the criminal. I used to watch plain long interrogations, and try to analyse things myself, but your additions are just... what can I say ? I feel like I have an intellectual friend in what I am deeply interested in. So thank you very much for your work. It is very precious.
Not only that. Jim literally makes the most compelling content of all time. No bullshit, no corny jokes, only important and insightful information and lets the videos play without pointless interruptions. It makes it so real and you just get completely sucked into it. This man is insanely intelligent and videos are masterfully edited.
Truly well said. And like life, few people mentally stimulate me, so I tend to rewatch these just as enthusiacted as the first time. My favorite is still mad cow expressionist Lazarus.
The psychological hints manners and techniques they implement when interrogating are so intriguing and powerful. Very interesting when you break it down. Oh and btw, this excuse for a human is a monster.
Gonna let you dudes in on something. As a barber with over 12 years experience, that hairline and patch is very common as we men get older. The reason why this gentleman’s “patch” looks more pronounced is because it’s likely he’s got a slight indentation where the separation occurs. My grandfather used to tell me “never get old” and I think he meant it.
That's why I just shave my head now that I'm balding. It's just more dignified to roll with it. Being bald is fine, it's pretending you look good otherwise that isn't.
No way he planned this. You don't drive your daily vehicle and wear your everyday boots to commit a planned crime unless you are idiot. Then you wear the murder boots to the station knowing what you've done and why they may be calling you in. Also, if your hair line is giving you the finger in such a disrespectful way it is time to shave it all. Walking around with that patch of hair is ridiculous.
"If you been read your rights before, I am sure you seem it on TV a whole bunch of times but usually an American version." that puts a smile on my face for some reason.
Imagine being the police officer printing out the foot prints and you hear John Smith talk about you as if you were a world renowned expert with a straight face. Smith is such a rascal, I love it.
When I was a kid this was the case that impacted my life the most. I can remember every detail of where I was when I found out. My mom has mutual friends with Jessica's brother so I remember being very invested.
The fact that someone could know they are being questioned about wether they kidnapped and murdered someone and don't automatically call for a lawyer is baffling
@Ἀπολλύων that's the truth. I started shaving my head in my early thirties. if you keep on waiting, it's like you are in denial. and looks horrible. lol
It's called male pattern baldness, and since when do adults pick on someone for the way they look? Why dont ypu pick on his character? For all his crimes ..... the way you pick on the way he looks you obviously all seem insecure so it means your character is worse then he,
Children, but that is your logic, I'm far uglier bit does that make me a bad person?
@H8Rade Brewer I dont wear a wig.... why would I wear a wig look at my facebook , I dont need to wear a wig, I probably do need to wear a wig but I don't
"you obviously all seem insecure so that means your character worse than he"
I would have supported you up to there. I don't understand how you can try to take the moral high ground over people but then suddenly say they have lesser character than a murderer. Not only that but you were thoroughly patronizing to them. Your character is not any better than theirs just because you refused to make fun of a serial killer's hair. You weaponized any moral high ground you may have had and used it to look down on them and be disrespectful. I hope this comment doesn't reflect how you behave normally in daily life.
@Grace Reynolds so what ypure saying is, because I dont agree with adults picking on someone because of the way they look even though male pattern baldness is a natural process that happens to most men and I told them they should pick on his character as ypu mentioned a serial killer I am obviously in the wrong for that? I have male pattern baldness , I'm bot insecure about it, it's a natural thing, as for patronising I I literally have absolutely no idea how you came to that conclusion, in fact I find it a bit wierd that you came to that.
@James Steven I directly quoted the part of you original comment that I took problem with. Like I said I agreed with you for the most part until you said that anybody making fun of his hair has lesser character than a literal serial killer. The patronization came in when you called anybody exhibiting the behavior you condemned children. Do you think you're justified in comparing people to a serial killer just because their comments triggered your insecurity? I'm sorry that this is something that has negative impact on your life. It sounds like this is something that makes you emotional so I realize how you could have misinterpreted my message. I'm not attacking your view as a whole rather a very specific part of it you probably wrote. If you reread my comment you might be able to see what I intended for you to see.
@Jade Marie you sound really grown up!, taking the mick about someone for thier looks or a natural thing is childish. I have no hair loss , taking the piss about someone's hairline and thinking you have a high moral ground is just utterly ridiculous, especially if you are an adult. It has nothing to do with killing women, it's a playground like insult.
@Kirk Gouthro it's called being an adult, picking on a person for thier looks over thier character, from adults..... its dispicable, fyi I have no baldness,
@James Steven said you had it, look man, no one cares that you're balding, but you're spending a long time defending a serial killer cause someone made fun of him for looking weird. You can stand on the hill of baldness all you want, no one cares* that someone insulted a murderer for being bald. Edit: No one cares that matters, at least.
@James Steven I would venture to say that most sighted individuals observe features other people possess (be they positive or negative features) on a regular basis and generally do not use their beauty or lack thereof as a basis from which to make solid JUDGMENTS about the character of the individual. Unfortunately, Colonel Russell here has a particularly wicked and immoral character and has committed depraved acts against others that seem to have made pretty much everything about him fair game to criticism - thus the humor (that you indicate feeling is childish/juvenile) emerges unbridled - because he is terrible person - not just visually "ugly".
@James Steven You're projecting, big-time. The hottest guy I ever dated (no offense to my longtime love sleeping next to me snoring right now with his full head of thick hair) was balding. This was in our mid-20's so he had been balding for years. He shaved his head regularly so it looked tamed and the only comment he made about his hair was that it would have been nice to have had the option. He was charismatic, confident and had women falling for him constantly. I still think about him now and then because he was really, really sexy. He's married with children and living a good life. His baldness didn't define him and he has other things going for him besides lack of hair. My dad is bald. He was a long-haired hippie and hated that he was going bald but he dealt with it. He had a great career. He's got a dark, hilarious personality. He's still in love with his wife of 30 years as his lack of hair had no effect on his overall happiness and his successes in life. Suck it up, buttercup. Most of us wish we could change a physical feature but we don't go around accusing people of being worse than litteral serial killer rapists for a tease on YouTube of all places. Get a grip. I hope you find the peace you seek for your sake and the people who have to deal with you. You could have come correct in the thread when called out, but you didn't. So I am not going to coddle, but hopefully you remember it's all in your head and you can choose to be a happy bloke if you really want to work on it.
@James Steven I don't think this is as bad is it seems. People often find comfortable things to talk about during emotionally weighty type things. Ever heard a joke at a funeral?? I have. It's a way to take the heavy air out of the room. So they make some jokes about hair. What we need to be asking is how society creates people like Russell Williams~~psychopaths don't get created from bad hair jokes.
James Collins James Collins you are missing the entire point of why everyone is commenting on your post....you said they have worse character then a serial killer because they made a joke about his hairline. Joking about someone’s hairline isn’t a crime that gets you life in prison and literally destroys many many peoples’ lives.....there is no comparison. You either made a mistake by posting that comment or you are just posting comments you know are likely to draw fire and you enjoy getting people riled up and then arguing with them...otherwise known as a troll.
James Collins you are telling Jade Marie you have no hair loss ...but you told Grace Reynolds “ I have male pattern baldness, I’m bot insecure about it, it’s a natural thing....” if you have male pattern baldness but no hair loss why would you be insecure about it?
impractical jokers is playing on the tv beside me and right before I saw your comment I noticed that he has the same baldness pattern that James Murray has 😂
@George Ntapalis lmao what? i hate to have to tell you but men age through their whole life, just like women! anyone who says otherwise is just trying to make men feel better abt how they don’t look as good as when they were young
@Josh Webb nah i have a widow’s peak, it’s when your hairline drops into a little ‘v’ shape on your forehead, not to do with hairless. when i put my fringe back my bf says it makes me look like dracula tho xD
@R May i get what you’re saying but it’s still kind of bogus to make fun of a feature on someone bc it also makes other ppl with that feature feel they look bad
@James Steven 1) Yes, but fully-grown adults don't ALWAYS behave in a mature manner either and often DO act silly like out-of-control children.
2) I did not want you to or believe you should change what you said. I was simply contributing to the discourse and sharing my own perspective which is different from your own. Besides...even if you had changed what you said, you would STILL be an adult because mature adults also do that sometimes too.
3) One's surface features can be altered cosmetically – which is more of a financial decision than it is a matter of quality character. However, a genuinely beautiful countenance that's truly worthwhile to behold is invaluable and requires more resolution because it must be nurtured and cultivated from within.
I don't mean to put this guy on a pedistal as that obviously was a part of THIS but come on man, as a Colonel you HAVE to play the part not look like the homeless guy who got mad when I told him I don't carry cash. I do, but that's none of his business
@James Steven Aristotle, one of the most esteemed and respected minds of all time posits in his "Book of Laughter and Forgetting" is a normal and healthy way of dealing with heavy emotions. This man's comment is totally in line with his theory. This interrogation contains descriptions of most brutal sexual acts; animalistic behavior by one human being against many women. If there ever was a time where nervous laughter was needed to help cope, it's while watching this narcissistic megalomaniac describe his crimes.
But honestly, if someone mentions my shoes, I look right at them, & another video said that was a mark of guilt. But yeah, all I can think when criminals at this guy's position/level of life do things like wear the same shoes, they must be that confident that they are in the clear. This dude is really sick. Had to be major compartmentalizing happening in that annoying, hair-island head.
For real. I guess I don't know what the mindset is because I've never raped and murdered anyone, but I would have figured one would think to destroy all clothing and shoes worn during the insanity.
@noillusion There were boot prints, the video shows pictures. The bluff was that there was a shoe and tire print expert at the station looking over the case.
Imagine if that ONE person who saw the SUV parked at Jessica’s house wasn’t there. If he didn’t notice the SUV, if he didn’t report it, if Jessica wasn’t living in such a remote location where an SUV parked wouldn’t be suspicious... THEN this guy would have murdered more and more people until either he was caught or wasn’t. That one person did such a massive service to Ottawa, seriously.
It just goes to show, again, the depravity and comfortability he had with the whole situation. He told his wife he'd be home for dinner. Wears the same shoes he used to murder a woman with, to the interrogation about her being murdered. Dude is extremely overconfident and probably manic as hell
I love this channel !! I hope you guys upload more content you guys have made a big impact on the YouTube community please keep going and don’t let anything or anyone discourage you !
I lov..I lov..and feel I discovered an amazing channel..your commentary is quick and keeps u interested..stopping the video to explain the tactics the investigators r fascinating..and the deep investigation u do the perpetrator is amazing also..a true understanding of the whole situation..a better understanding and in the end u let us no the outcome..your talented..u do your homework..I'm a true crime buff and people think I'm odd..but it intrigues me that one could do such atrotious acts..u do the best at getting to the core of these individuals..I hope there's more to be
I've only just found this channel. I don't how to describe it. Great? Sure. You feel some degree of anger at the psychological manipulation the interrogators use, but also a degree of respect at how well they do their job. I think the most horrific thing is how they know someone in guilty from the start, but the emotional changes the perp goes through are insane. They start off quite happy, get worn down, and then candidly talk about horrific crimes. It's almost like watching a movie, but the realisation that it is real is haunting.

Why isn't the narrator of these videos narrating everything? Dude's delivery and voice are like butter.
"43:25" He is giving grizzly details of suffocating a victim, delaying each description to build suspense, and the interrogator nonchalantly takes a big audible sip of water. Its like a Cohen brothers movie.
I really don't get the impression at that time segment that he is building suspense with how he tells it. Dude sounds tired, emotionally impacted by what he himself was capable of, and aware that he is going away for a long time. Overall, it seems like he felt he had a genuine connection with the interrogator and that if that connection had happened many many years previous, perhaps he wouldn't have escalated so far! Guy needed some answers and to find a moral effing compass! And sometimes a friend can be just that.
So we gave Top Secret clearance to someone who actually buys the Cop’s assertion that footwear prints are as strong as finger prints?? I would have left immediately laughing my head off!
Iv'e watched this countless of times !!! That's how GREAT the content of this channel is Can't get enough from any of them!!!!
Not gonna lie, this is a JOB someone has to do. People need to be educated that there is sick mental people out there. The more you know, the more aware you will be and vigilant about the freaked-imbeciles out there out to get you !!! Be careful people, even here in Canada these things happen...
Man, this channel is a gold mine. Shit is interesting as fuck. Never would've thought that two people sitting across from each other, not saying a word, can be so exciting.
UNLKY HNTR - IKR. Can't believe I haven't been watching this shit longer. I've always enjoyed crime documentaries and investigative television programs, but these interrogations are interesting on a whole nother level. We're learning while being entertained.
Because of this channel i have watched so many of these interrogation videos.
Its absolutely shocking how many people do not ask for a lawyer and just talk. Now dont get me wrong, i am glad those who deserve to be punished are getting punished. But it still blows my mind.
The fact that this interrogator just got this whole case resolved after only about an hour (on the basis of just some car tracks and a shoeprint) while at the same time staying extremely friendly and professional about it, is the most genius and most canadian thing at the same time. Kudos to the investigator, he's the incarnation of an expert in his field.
@Virces I disagree, let's assess your opinion. "Dahmer" & "My Friend Dahmer" portraying, obviously, Jeffrey Dahmer; "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" follows Ted Bundy; Norman Bates was inspired by Ed Gein and has a couple versions since Hitchcock's "Psycho". So, Hollywood disagrees, too.
@bird up is-ought logical fallacy. just because there are lots of movies doesn't mean they need to be. you just gave examples and pretended that was proof
@Fetero if you made 50 million dollars just signing away ideas for movies put forth by directors you would do it too. You say you don't like how it is but that's only because you stand to gain nothing from it. But hey, nobody's forcing you to buy movie tickets. If you don't like it, don't watch it. You don't have to impose your beliefs on others. The movie industry will still be worth billions without your $10.
@Fetero yea yea whatever. For 50 million you'd do it. The world is run by money not some dude on youtube's opinions. I don't like the new Transformers movies but there ain't a goddamn thing I can do to stop Michael Bay from cashing in another couple dozen millions. And if, hypothetically, Scorsese wanted to make a movie about this guy; there ain't a goddamn thing you can do to stop him either.
@Fetero there's no need to make any movie. At all. Every single piece of art that has ever been made has not been crucial for survival. And yea, that's what I said. I'm just some guy on youtube, I wouldn't be able to influence Bay even if I wanted too. Do you exist solely for the misery of those around you? There was no need to even reply to my comment but you did that didn't ya?
@Fetero wow you really do exist to make other people miserable to a certain extent. You think I care enough about your opinion to get offended. Or that filmmakers care enough about your opinion to not make a movie because "tHeRe iS nO nEeD fOr It".
@bird up i didn't say that id ever stop anyone from making the movie lol. im sorry you were made miserable by a YouTube comment, bud, must be hard being that fragile. also im not even the original commenter who said there was no need for it, i was responding to your defense of that
@Fetero i knew you weren't the original commenter who replied. I know what the context it. What you replied with insinuated that you either don't agree or don't care for a movie about this guy being made because "this guy wasn't a mastermind or anything". Lots of movies have been made about normal people who did extraordinary things, for good or for worse. And you think that I think that because there have been movies made about the subject(is), then I assume that it's only natural for it to be made (ought). Which I don't really, I'm just saying the creative and financial motivation of making it. More of a Murphy's Law situation than an Is-Ought Problem. Also, I'm not as fragile as you are liking your own comments to support argument. Nothing screams fragile more than self-validation.
@bird up not everyone sees the world in terms of monetizing other people's misery. Some people actually have this thing you may not have heard of called a soul. You probably sold yours and found out it was worth a two for one coupon at burger king that already expired. 😘
Gary Cole (Ted Jones from pineapple express and Bill from Officespace) actually played him in the 2012 lifetime movie of this case "An officer and a murderer" Creeped me the f out.
The interrogator was superb but as soon as Williams decided to give his wife an easy time by avoiding a lengthy investigation and trial he was wide open
How on earth does the investigator remain so calm during his description of the attack? I would've been in tears when he said "she thought we were leaving." :(
@Joii J. No, it's after the "crossroads" moment during the interrogation. Notice his behavior prior to the examination of his boots. He is arrogant and relaxed; yet, any possible anxiety seemed to tell on him by the way he chewed his gum. After the examination his breathing pattern is different, more strained; he begins to sigh periodically; his arms are crossed; his posture is more rigid and stressed; I think he must have swallowed the aforementioned gum...sighhhhhhh
@M Gal Definitely relieved, he probably had so much anxiety and racing thoughts about thinking of excuses, the fact that he can just tell the truth now is a weight of his shoulders.
He wasn’t trapped, he could have asked for a lawyer. All the evidence they had against involving the case would have been dismissible in court. He fell for the investigator’s bluffs.
The thing is, he wasn’t trapped UNTIL he asked for a map. At any time he could leave and up until that point the only thing incriminating were his lack of response to accusations and his attitude that was analysed in this video, at best those things might warrant a search through his property which may have led to the same discovery. But to me the instant acceptance of guilt for having the same tires and shoes as a suspect, is something that only a guilty person could convey. Any innocent or even just rational human would argue that those could be anyone’s shoes or tires, he didn’t.
The funny thing was that he wasn't trapped at all. If he kept his mouth shut and asked for a lawyer, he might still be free today like so many others still are!
@Kiran Parmar In Canada the rules are different. We do not have Miranda rights, we are read a CAUTION “You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.” it is similar to the British CAUTION read to you by the police upon arrest.
@HotCrazyCatLady Me "free today like so many others still are!" -- And how exactly do you know this, m'am? Is there something you need to tell us? Right now you still have credibility. But this is getting out of control real fast.
Shout outs to Detective Jim Smyth. That was some of the finest police work I have ever seen. Guy didn't even sell out when offered deals and was told to write a book.
One of the worst nightmares for any woman alone in her home. And the cat knew his ass didn’t belong. They just don’t react the same way as dogs. But the cat was NOT comfortable with his presence in the home, which had a happen of doing quite a few times while the victim wasn’t home. Terrifying detail. 🥺
I know right, I think he must if thought ohh well I've been got, " which he really hadn't been got at all, the interagator lied about what evidence and the actual strength of evidence they had against him" which wasn't enough to pin these crimes on him or arrest him for, But he didn't realise any of that, So he wanted to get it all over with, He told the investigator absolutely everything, Every detail, Maybe he wanted to end his behaviour himself.
@Technical and STEM Homeschooling Yes exactly right, And he sure did respond, At least he did save the police dept a whole lot of man power time trying to gather all the evidence, He responded so well and gave them all the information they needed,
Years of break-ins, stealing underclothes, escalating to assaults, then murders... and he cracks in under an hour. What changed? His psychology is interesting. He cared deeply for his wife, yet went and did these crimes for years. My theory: Jessica's seizure reached a cord in him. He didn't just assault and murder her some hours after. He brought this woman to his home, talked her down out of a seizure... Yet still killed her some hours after. Just. Haunting.
I agree. It forced him to break his killer persona and become the protective military officer he was trained to be. She became more than an object. She became a woman in distress & the snap to reality possibly made him realize how evil & screwed up a man he is. Obviously, he had to kill her, knows he'll never lose the taste of it but he seemed almost relieved to be caught so he couldn't do it again.
Kudos to Officer Jim Smith for his masterful interrogation. I've never seen anyone do one this well and I've seen many of these documentaries. Much respect to him also for not cashing in on the publicity. That's an honorable, humble man right there. Some day I think it's fair to tell his story once he's retired should he choose to. Thanks for uploading this video. I'd heard about this monster Col but not this much detail. Thank God he's behind bars for ever. He wouldn't have stopped he just didn't want to admit it.
I’d like to know when this entire behavior started. As a child? Teen? Adult? Did he ever do it before? Was there a precipitating event that led to this behavior? I want information. I’m so glad they showed those embarrassing photos of him. Although he must have thought they were that embarrassing if he posed for them and took them. Such bizarre behavior. I love the 5th estate cover and breakdown on this investigator and how brilliant he was.
Just goes to show you how important an interrogator's job is and how essential they are. I've seen cases where there's not enough incriminating evidence and without confessions the killer goes free. This is one of those situations and that interrogator cracked him and got a full confession, without it he most likely could of walked.
very disturbing the way he just calmly confessed. i didn’t expect him to crumble so quickly. he didn’t even try to deny it. and the way he described hiding in the basement and how he caught her cats attention and that’s how she found him... hiding in the corner of her basement. just wow it sounds like something right out of a tv show. sent a creepy chill down my spine.
I know, I don’t understand why people like this don’t ask for an attorney. Why don’t they say other people have the same shoes/tires as me, your evidence is weak, etc. Some say it’s because they want to confess, get it off their chest, but I don’t think these guys have a conscience, at least not the way us normal people have. So why does it only take 15 minutes one on one with a good detective and they’re singing like a canary?
In fairness the barber typically asks what you want when you walk in. He must've requested the infamous "just fuck my shit up fam" and the barber complied
My mother was friends with Marie France Comeau. Williams held her mother’s hand at the funeral to console her, and he gave the MP doing the report on the case commendation for his work. This man was a pure psychopath with NO remorse.
Makes me wonder if they celebrate after getting a confession or if that's more of a solemn moment. Knowing that the monster is finally caught. I have no idea how I'd react.
@mikemorr100 i heard in one of these documentaries that, usually, it's a hurray moment when they get the confession. It makes it 10x easier at trial, saves money i guess 😊
involver involver probably more than money if anything it saves the families of the victims the heartache of not knowing if their missing person is alive or dead. At least knowing their dead they can begin to move on
This colonel, the Detective....they arnt the real deal, they are just canadian....like here is a pilot and a commander that prolly flys 100 hours a year. The detective might lock up 5 murders a year...its micky mouse. The only real deal were his victims being raped and killed.

He can’t sign a book deal because of his Oath of Office. You should be more impressed by the officer who spotted his vehicles tires at the checkpoint.
@D Hardy - - - Wait wait wait, Canadians aren't real? .. wasn't the "real deal" that a very smart detective, "tricked" him, so that he couldn't continue his insanity, by rape and murdering others?
@tom me? it has to do with corrupt videogame companies. It's admittedly a stupid name i made one day when i was mad about what i thought was false advertising
My only complaint with this, is I wish there was more voiceover/text with info about what each and everything means. Every movement, every sigh, use of verbiage. I especially would have loved to hear your take on the wearing of women’s undergarments. I am obsessed with knowing everything that makes these guys tick. Great video.
Pete Roberts2019-11-21 19:16:14 (edited 2019-12-04 20:48:53 )
Jim Smith: Interrogatory genius. I read somewhere, that they actually use this case and Jim's techniques shown here, as a standard in the training of new officers..that's how good he is.
@Lola Rodriguez If you want to catch and convict a monster, sometimes you have to use monster-like techniques, but don't confuse the 2 as the same. If a burglar broke into your home and viciously attacked your family, and you viciously attacked the burglar in return, seriously injuring or even killing them, that doesn't make you a monster because you used the same methods in your family's defence. But, I'll just assume you're a "police bad" kind of person.
@cravenblade2 Waaaa look at me I can't accomplish anything in life and the only way I can find satisfaction is to lessen other people's achievements in life by typing comments on youtube, without actually proving anything to back my point!
This one in particular is very interesting to me, probably because of his position. If he wasn't a colonel, it probably wouldn't have the same effect. I don't understand why he didn't immediately ask for a lawyer, you'd think he'd be smart enough to do that
Immediately when he sat down to be interrogated, I knew he’d eventually stopped munching on his gum. He stopped the irritating munching pretty well around 38:00.
This serial killer admitted everything in an hour because of just an hour of pressure. I’ve seen teenagers interrogated for twelve hours before a false confession just to get out of that extremely distressing place.

Detective Jim Smyth is a hero in the truest sense of the word. Humble, steadfast and commited to bringing justice to those who've been wronged. You have a rare treasure in Canada.
Once he starts going in to the grizzly details, that's when he is strongest. I think (and would hope) most reading this would just fucking go for him at that point (ala Starlord). This is pretty distressing to listen to now - years later - in a YouTube video. Imagine being in the room having to listen to him go over it in person at the time. Even knowing the overall case in advance in gruesome detail. And to not just swing for him - That takes some serious composure.
Not taking anything away from the officer who did an amazing job, I think sometimes people spill their guts like this because they've gotta live with those thoughts and memories bottled up knowing they can never speak them and it's almost a relief to get them out after being stuffed down for so long.
I grew up right in the middle of that map, I remember the police canvasing the neighbourhood and then the eventual arrest. He offered me a ride home one -45*C day....glad I knew to turn down strangers no matter how painfully cold it is! Thanks for uploading this; really interesting to see the case from this side rather than the inside.
@infinite 4 destruction don't call people liers you don't know anything x your life must be super boring and average X crazy things happen all the time I've had loads
How is it I missed this one from JCS?! I could have sworn I watched them all and came from The Fifth Estate channel. I'm so sorry I missed this, Jim! Thank you for always bringing such amazing information to us.
@The Helghast did nothing wrong Yes, and also probably to continue to build more confidence and trust, so that he'd be more likely to reveal even the most fine and gruesome of details. "You're an honourable man for telling the truth, thank you." This plays to his ego and possible sense guilt (if he has any), and continues to reduce his anxiety so that he can be as forthcoming as possible.
Very well-executed interrogation. He knew how to play the cards right to get the full confession, even though their true cards at the time were pretty weak. Good interrogators are almost like expert musicians who know how to carefully weave tension and relief, surprise and predictability. Combined with good understanding of the suspect's body language, facial expressions, voice, language, etc., it's like a grand psychological symphony composed and improvised for one person.
@Anonymous Don't you get it? All dominant "alphas", in public, are "betas" inside. When I see someone acting all dominant alpha, I immediately think he's someone who, behind closed doors, likes to get sexually dominated, whip, latex, bondage and all.
I seen a lot of these and hardly anyone confesses like this to the police it's kinda refreshing. I guess that helped his sentence because he "only" got 2 life sentences but parole after 25 years which is a steal
Yeah he was so professional he didn't even ask if he did it or not as that is not an open ended question and he is really likely to just flat out say no because it's easy. But instead he just kept asking why were you there and he just kept thinking
wow. that is a serious skill to be able to tell a person that they can 'walk out of here whenever they want, totally don't have to say anything and have the right to legal counsel'... and a short while later, got them willingly confessing to murders!! incredible
ice la honk not really williams pretty much confessed once he knew he was caught to minimize the damage on his wife he was a gift for the interegator really,made him look very good.
ice la honk lot of it seems to also be posturing too. Like, “Hey, you can leave, quitter, but there’s no shame in quitting. You can stay, or go, it’s all up to you.”
Ian Dalton it’s Canada. They had no definitive proof to even arrest; it was all circumstantial; he gave them all the physical evidence in the interrogation room. Even in Canada, you can’t arrest someone Without any proof
Koltred Anubus that’s not evidence. You can’t hold someone for possible future evidence, unless we have pre-cog and we’re in like “Minority Report”
Unfortunately, this is actually kind of a catch 22
As if he gets up to leave, he’s going to mediately put himself on a watchlist, but the longer he stays, the more likely it is that they are going to ask for physical evidence,.
That detective was seriously good. He couldn't have been sure was russ was guiltily when he started out but still managed to take him down the walk of shame and ultimately making him confess with ease.
Cripple Minded how it was literally explained they didn’t catch him and the detective was just bluffing about facts to make it seem like they knew things they actually didn’t know in order to build up to him making it seem impossible to lie
@Ian--I doubt it but the fact that he's in the military and so is one of his victims is a complication I don't know the implications of. Would they have referred it to military police? Would it have ruined his career if he just lawyered up?
@Cripple Minded spot on! I have said the same thing many times to people that say that this copper was a genius. Err No! Russell knew it was over before he walked in...
Its only because psychopaths wants their story to be told. Thats what you learn in America. Just look at how many movies, and books there are about your serial killers.

ice la honk It really is. It's all thanks to playing on every bit of psychological manipulation the interrogator can. Interrogations seem like just listening on the surface, but in reality it's some legit 4D chess going on. Everything the detective does is done for a reason, and to the end of achieving that confession. Everything. From body positioning to when and how he offers Russell coffee. What Russell does with his coffee cup tells the detective whether he's defensive or not. What Russell does with his feet tells the detective whether Russell is comfortable or in a rush to get out of there. How their bodies are positioned are decided based on whether they want to seem like allies (like in this video, they're sitting sort of next to each other, but the detective is squarely facing Russell, while Russell is squarely facing the door, as if he's ready to jump up and run,) or whether the table is physically between them and they're facing each other like adversaries.
The interrogation room is this detectives comfort zone. It's truly his domain. It's his like his chess board and he's ten steps ahead of Russell right off the bat, even though he doesn't have that proof yet. It's intimidating but impressive to watch. Every single aspect of this interaction is strictly controlled and specifically planned with an end in mind, and it's all based on decades upon decades of research into human psychology, kinesthesiology, physiology, and more.
Like I said, it's legitimate 4D chess when you have a good interrogator going at a suspect.
many people think they can talk themselves out of a situation. They figure if they keep talking they can go home. Reality is you don't speak to the police. Request a lawyer. When they have you in the interrogation room, they aren't there just to get some details. They are trying to either rule you out as a suspect or get you to say something incriminating
@Ian Nah they wouldve let him walk but would've investigated in a different manner looking for more physical evidence likely. They on tape told him he could go so legally he could.
I'd like to think psychopaths are more intelligent than this, colonel was way too trusting.

the detective did a good job, but this interrogation is unique due to the suspect. he's a high ranking person in his career and views himself as important and above the law. if he is suspected of wrongdoing, he will try to make himself look good at every opportunity and expects people will believe him. he didn't want a lawyer because it would most likely either embarrass him or make him look weak. going in there, it wouldn't even occur to him that anyone would suspect him. the detective went in hard as soon as the boots had been inspected and there was no way for him to get out of this at that point, when the warrants had already been executed and he would eventually be forced to provide DNA, whether or not it mattered to the investigation, the important part is he perceives it as so.
The perps think by acting innocent they will get away with it. It's why they co-operate. But they get caught in a sticky web by a professional interrogator.
@Eddie Dingle You can arrest someone without any proof. It's done every day. That's why 'innocent until proven guilty in a court of law' is so important. You might have been arrested by mistake or because of a coincidence. They don't have to prove anything to arrest you beyond it being reasonable to suspect you have done something.
@Eddie Dingle I didn't say it by mistake. You said proof. I said evidence. Evidence is not proof. Proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, will get you convicted. You don't need proof, just reasonable suspicion. Definition of proof (Entry 1 of 3)
1a : the cogency of evidence that compels acceptance by the mind of a truth or a fact
b : the process or an instance of establishing the validity of a statement especially by derivation from other statements in accordance with principles of reasoning

@Eddie Dingle I don't think we're really arguing here. I was just saying 'proof' wasn't the right word in that circumstance. When you start talking about the law it's important to use the right words.
Michael Burgess I’m thinking that too. There are people out there who legitimately do think you can be arrested for absolutely no reason, So definitely using the proper words/sentence structure is key
Part of the reason many of these people don't leave or request a lawyer is 1) Ego and their belief they will not be caught, and 2) Curiosity to know what cards the police hold.
It happens every day. Whether it’s a detective investigating a homicide, or a patrol officer investigating a larceny or a burglary, these police officers are the ones stepping up to face hardened criminals in order to protect the innocent. Sadly, these intelligent and skilled police officers are the same ones who society denigrates as racists thugs and spit upon them and their families. Pretty sad this is where society is now.
@Ian i dont think an arrest made solely on boot prints and tire treads are probable cause, as i dont think they have evidence that those belong to him in particular
I mean, he lied to him and gave him no choice really... Russ should obviously be in jail, he's a monster, but often this coerces innocent, less intelligent people to confess, Brendan Dassey for instance.
Sean C He was arrogant enough to think he could outwit them “I don’t believe this is happening,” psychopath’s always think they are they smartest one in the room.
After becoming obsessed with interrogation videos I now know to NEVER EVER talk to police without legal counsel. Even then, if you’re not placed under arrest, do not agree to get in that room.
Ian Dalton Still a better option. Leave and get legal counsel immediately. Not that this guy deserved to get off. In general you just do not talk to the police without a lawyer.
@Ian No probably about it... he would have been arrested if he tried to walk, they had a heap of evidence already. A house in Tweed with 2000+ lingerie items for a start and photos of him...
@Rumpel Felt Unfortunately Canadian institutions seem to view british cultural tradtitions as a huge part of Canadian culture- tradition above all else even in judicial institutions. It's the reason why Canada is so backwards in some respects, and living here- it's funny when people say 'Canadians are nice' because there are a helluva lot of silent racists here and de-publicized problems. From Vancouver, with 5 blocks of hell. Modern Canadians these days couldn't give less of a fuck about the Queen and Britshisms, anyway.
“Russ: why do you suppose you decided to tell me about this tonight”? “ well I was concerned about what my wife would be going through.” The son of a bitch had no remorse for his victims or their families, but was worried about his wife being disrupted.
A smart guy being out smarted by an even smarter guy. This will be the benchmark of how to interrogate criminals for police forces all around the world. He never threatened the prisoner, never even swore at him, didn’t even raise his voice to him. In the US you would have had some knuckle dragging pee on screaming at the prisoner and probably physical punishment as well.
@Nick C that's why you should never consent to go to station for questioning. Make them do it in your doorway. No you cant come in. No, I'm not coming out, either. No I cant answer that without a lawyer. Am I free to go?
@Fab StillSmokin this man is telling all of you the truth . .... this is a 100 % a tragedy ! Im not saying that it is not. ! But @fabstillsmokin is on the 100% truth! Look it up!!
@Fab StillSmokin yes copswill can and do lie to you . ...even in traffic stops...use cruise control always !! GOING OFF TOPIC SLIGHTLY............... , u can get a print out of that date TIME .... from your insurance company of speed AT different times ANY stops made and notmade , accidents..if you have the insurance (gieco) that plugs into the port where mechanics run their tests YOUR SET,! Might not need the insurance extras.... but for safty, just Get the clip, hat works on a phone app they sell um on ebay... they make them for teen /younger drivers so parents can monitor their driving speed etc. Also for monitoring the vehicle .
Investigator is beguilling. He is luring him into his trap. Its a seemingly soft force. But investigator is here to get job done, without a question. I believe he was high strung mentally too, eventhough he seemed so relaxed and poised. Well done!
That skill is used to elicit false confessions as well. It's called coersion. Freakin cops do it all the time. I've seen one flat lie under oath on a witness stand then brag about it afterwards. Make sure you can prove your whereabouts or alibi. Especially if you don't have a spotless criminal record... which I do by the way.
@Lady Balqiis nah tbh i think it's a superiority complex from being high ranked military. He probably didn't think he would have an issue killing an innocent women or 3. I know he's definitely got more than those 3 victims. I bet every dollar in my pocket. Hell even my house & 6.5 acres. On the table rn. Guarantee hes done this sevvvvverallll times. Probably a cover-up for a big elite trafficking cartel...
Ian Dalton they didn’t have the foot prints against him at that point. And, like an idiot, he wore those boots to the interview. If he had not gone into the interview, he could have gotten away with this easily.
This guy is a monster but i am glad he came clean. When murderers won't ever reveal where the bodies are and the families are unable to get any form of closure its even worse.
I wanna see how Jim deals with a interrogation pro. I take it they cant use these techniques when a lawyers present? Also are these techniques in a handbook somewhere or is this like criminal psychology 101? Anyone know? Awesome channel ma
I can't imagine being his wife. On one hand, you would immediately want to entirely erase him from your life and memory. On the other hand, you suddenly lose your whole life and what you thought it was while losing your husband. So bizarre.
I think one of the saddest things, is that some of those poor ladies (Jessica Loyd), were literally doing every horrible thing he asked.. all in the hopes that they would not be killed. Listening to his story unfold step by step with them co-operating with him (If it is true) and with us knowing the outcome for these ladies already, is truly a horror story.
When he was driving to twead if it was me i feel like i would pf tried to gwt him to crash the vehicle. They say its better to die fighting then go to a second location
Ashley rose Yes this is true, if anyone tries to get you to move (tells you to drive when they put a gun to your face) make it impossible. Throw the keys out of the car, scream and fight
This is completely heart breaking listening to the last hours and moments of these peoples lives. I have so much love and respect for the Law Enforcement officers and investigators that work so hard and have to suffer through the trauma of witnessing what these bastards do. Defund the police, really, what if it was your family!
It’s really crazy to me how normal a murderous psychopath can appear before their crimes are exposed. They have wives, girlfriends, kids, normal families, and good jobs...too often people (myself included) think they’d be able to recognize red flags and warning signs, so we aren’t on guard. Everyone needs to be aware these people exist and live among us.
"There is no room for error or hesitation in military operations." ...I hate to break it to you, but most military operations are nothing but error and hesitation, followed by a long-winded talk about how everything went wrong. Speakin' from experience. Lmao
This is an incredibly well made video. No emotive language, good pacing, footage played in full, highly informative and very interesting. Well done and please continue!
Impressive to his integrity being offered $$ for books and interviews and no doubt TV yet turns it down to stay in his field and continue his great work. Much respect.
They study it because the old method was screaming like you see in the movies. This guy slowly became his friend and then made him admit to everything. The body language was very important. And leaving a long silence can also work when selling things too. You make your offer then just stare, the person feels pressured, pays your price.
Indeed. We have a provincial police department in Ontario (O.P.P.) that takes care of all but the biggest towns and cities and this guy is their number one. A real maestro.
@cravenblade2 Your claims are counter to the empirical evidence. Also, if you don't mind helping me understand your ideas better, please post a link to a video or modern, professional resource of an interrogation method that you WOULD agree with.
@cravenblade2 Oh, sorry, I was unaware of your expertise. Please post links to your professional accomplishments in this field (articles written in professional journals, research papers, training aids/manuals, or, of course, videos such as the one here). It will help us learn.
@RodCornholio It's alright, I'll forgive your lack of knowledge. As for videos/articles/etc. I do not have to display my achievements, as it is irrelevant to this discussion. If you want to reap the full benefit of my expertise, you will have to relinquish that in person, as my work is far above being expressed online. But if you have small questions on here, I would be more then obliged to help educate you better.
@cravenblade2 No small questions. I want all of your knowledge regarding the subject in written, video, or audio formats and documentation of its effectiveness and use by you or law enforcement. If you can't produce that, then I'll be on my merry way.
@RodCornholio I'm afraid my work is to good to be expressed online. You will just have to make an appointment to see me in person. If you want this knowledge, you will just have to work for it. Sorry my friend, that is how things work.
There is a lot of footage that was redacted from the interview before the confession happened. In the actual video, there is a clock in the corner and the time jumps quite a bit in some places. When Smith askes Williams about when he started working at the base, the time jumps quite some time but in the video, Williams says " The Friday, I was". Parts are redacted all over the place. Plus after the confession, the interviews lasted for a week. I read this somewhere on line and thought I would love to see the rest of the interrogations for this case. But the confessions were redacted in most of what happened, ie how he tortured his victims.
Man I'm a true crime junkie and latter half of this interrogation, aka the confession, made my stomach turn. Watching a normal looking guy get into the gritty details of his crimes was disturbing. Great work from the detective to get a completely free man to confess.
Imagine being that woman walking down the basement to see what the cat was looking at and you see Russ’s face in the dark staring back at you. That’s gotta be terrifying for that woman.
I read your comment before I got to that point of the video. When I finally saw it, it gave me chills. My heart breaks for that poor woman and the fear and terror she must have felt in her last moments.
There is a huge difference... Compartmentalization is key (he would never "spill" the beans on what he was "trained" to protect. The interogator is very good bro...
Man that was such a crazy time. I was assigned there at the time as an exchange officer, and worked for Russ. I remember hearing the news when I was out flying a mission, moving helicopters over to Victoria, when my neighbor called and told me. The base was devastated. Most of those guys knew Russ and worked with him for decades. I’ll tell you what, I was a lieutenant colonel at the time, so we were just one level apart, and we talked and laughed at the officer’s mess and you can’t tell the difference between a true psychopath and anyone else. There’s no background music, no weirdness.
Well, some people can tell if someone is a psychopath and more less to what degree. You do need to get to know them though and especially how they act when something matters to them. FYI: If you want to find a psychopath easier for whatever reason, looks at some CEO's. Much higher chance of finding that trait there.
@FunkoFever Well, in the RCAF they still have a thing called "morale" which we in the USAF lost long ago due in part to PC culture. In other words, in the US, the days of meeting up at the O-Club for drinks and such are long gone. The Canadians, at least in those days, still socialized on Thursdays and everyone was expected to show up. It was great, and once myself, our Ops O and Col (then) Williams were all together at the bar around 1700. Russ said something like "Sorry but I have to leave early" and we didn't think anything of it. Months later we figured that was the night he killed Jessica. It might not be, but it's a good story at least.
The most interesting thing was the way they do performance reports. In the states we call them OPRs but they have PERs, (not sure what it stands for anymore) but they have a narrative overall assessment and multiple categories that have a 1-5 score (poor to outstanding). Things like time management, written communication, verbal communication, leadership, etc. Anyway, once Russ was arrested General Blondin (RCAF Chief of Air Staff at the time) flew in to address the base. They have a much smaller force than we do obviously, so they really know each other better and many officers were really freaked out by this. Russ' executive officer was freaked out about how much time they spent alone at night, working on reports and such. All that time, not a clue.
Anyway when the General came he got all the Lt Cols together (there were only like 9 of us on the whole base).for a meeting on what's next. He field promoted one of the guys (Dave Cochrane) to full colonel on the spot and named him wing commander. No parade, no promotion ceremony, just wham, you're the boss and now you have to grab the exec and go to prison to do your turnover briefing with Col Williams. And remember, until he's court martialed he's still a colonel. You need to get spun up on the status of various missions, get the secret codes for things like the vault, etc. (Later on Dave said the turnover went well, very professional, other than being in prison). Meanwhile, the general reminded Dave, he's due for a PER, and this guy was the commander for operations ATHENA, the Haiti air evacuation , numerous other achievements and such so his performance report has to be written as such. For example, time management was outstanding. The only areas hes poor in are "values and ethics" and "conduct becoming of an officer" but you can't let that jade the rest of his performance legally or he'll have grounds to fight the court martial.
@bn880 After the fact it "all adds up" but no, you can't tell them from anyone else in person. Yeah, he had some quirks that were signs afterwards, but plenty of other people have those quirks too. I got a weird vibe around the guy myself, but I get that same feeling around a good friend of mine that I've known for years as well. There's just no way to tell.
@bn880 Of course, there's also a sort of "spectrum" of psychopathy. I know a lot of us in the profession of arms are a little more on the psycho side than neutral, depending on what test you use. The train killing 5 vs 1 person unless you throw the switch test, we all have no issue killing that 1 person to save 5, even if it's a friend, but that's what we need to think like in combat. It's a numbers game after all, and if I can kill 5 enemies by sacrificing 1 of mine, and I can win that way, that's what I have to do. You can't play chess without losing pieces. By definition that's sort of psychopathic but not the same as having zero empathy.
That's what I've been told anyway. I'm just a pilot, not a psychologist.
@John Tringali Nope, that's where you're wrong. Don't underestimate trained professionals (psychologists) is all I am telling you. You can't tell, most people couldn't tell, but SOME people would be able to tell. Trust me. His position alone would make most psychologists already suspect he was a primary psychopath, and then through a process of observation they would decide for sure. And to clarify, a diagnosis of a psychopath primary or secondary is not a prediction of murder.
@FunkoFever The other thing I remember is seeing him giving an award to the MP that looked into the case involving Cpl Comeau. I didn't know her as she was in another squadron (she was 437th and I was 429th) but the base paper had Col Williams shaking the hand of the MP who was trying to convict her boyfriend, a mechanic from the base, because when a woman is killed it's usually her husband or boyfriend. I wonder what happened to that guy. They never had any evidence on him but he ate a lot of crap I'm sure. Until, that is...
@bn880 Oh yeah, got it, TRAINED PROs... I hear ya. I've been told that by professionals as well, just because people are a little psychopathic doesn't make them murderers. Well said.
@John Tringali Thank you for taking the time to reply in such a concise and detailed manner. It's fascinating to hear from someone that knew this monster first hand.
bn880 - the JOB of a psychopath is to not be detected...a ranked officer basically one rank difference has stated the same ... also, this POS has a psychological analysis online and he has been deemed NOT a psychopath ... Williams is MANY diagnosis from the DSM but an anomaly- he IS NOT CONSIDERED PSYCHOPATH... so there you go. Check it out... fascinating reading ❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Yea people assume the crazy people who act abnormal and show a lack of empathy are sociopaths, which they often are, but the really advanced ones can mimic emotions so well they can deceive family and friends for years.
And being sociopathic does not mean murderer. If someone who is sociopathic and had an abusive upbringing, or some preferred sexual fetish that is or could be dangerous (choking, or of course raping) then yes the fact they have no empathy increases the likelihood of them becoming a murderer. Many just live their lives never truly happy and lack morals.
During my 10 years on active duty, I saw more psychopathic type behaviors from commissioned officers than anywhere else in my life experience. That is especially true of senior ranking officers. Maybe that's what it takes to be able to command thousands of people to a certain death in order to achieve a military objective.
Jason James It does kinda come with the territory. You can’t knowingly sign off on mission orders to achieve some objective when you know you’re going to lose x% of your guys without being able to suppress or disassociate that. I mean, even the indifference we feel watching IR or EO feeds of engagements watching enemy troops being blown apart. It’s required, but in reality those are all people with kids and families... but that’s war. The difference between being a warrior and a killer is that you don’t enjoy it. Ya know what I mean?
@wujidao Exactly! I too was surprised at just how quickly he caved. It was as if he was relieved to be caught. His only real concern seemed to be for his wife. Probably not the typical profile of a primary psychopath.
@John Tringali No offense to you or your crew, but if you can be "normalized" to see killing as a job, that's a form of "psychopathy" in itself. To lose human compassion for the "enemy" that you're targetting.... that's basically at core a form of psychopathy. It's learned*, *trained psychopathy rather than naturally borne. Meaning, that a psychopath that doesn't distinguish between killing for amusement from killing for national defense can hide easier in those ranks. Or to put it another way, it's harder to tell the serial murder type psychopath from the trained mercenary "controlled" psychopath.
@John Tringali I get that. You kind of just get desensitized to it all. I see people die on videos knowing damn well that they have a family and friends, and I laugh or feel nothing. Somewhere deep down I know it's not right, but I don't feel bad about it. Not sure if you feel the same, just wanted to share with someone who I feel would understand where I'm coming from.
wujidao i think he wanted to be stoped , he’s like an addict & knows he needs help & I usually can spot a hums. Without empathy even if there acting this guy has none
Awesome video with no stupid ads. Can concentrate on the case as i am a detective now after watching 3 series 😂

55 minutes. Then, "Got a map?" Unbelievable how easy this was. Very interesting! So are the virtuoso investigator Jim Smith and our Jim Can't Swim the same man?
as a person who has met russell williams when i was 10 back in 2009 at a airshow he was a very nice man and brought me and my sister up to the officers viewing area. and when this broke in less than a year it really struck home with how close we came to this murderer. Also wanting people to know how big this guys ego was i want to bring it down even though ik he wont ever see this but ik a person who has just joined the RCAF and was in training as a Aviator not a officer and had Top Secret as their clearance from the very get go of their career
I watched another interrogation video on this man and thought "Why hasn't JCS not made a video on this, it would fit perfectly?". Now i finally get it, it's unlisted for some reason. Glad i found this!
@colin hunter There are a couple of threads on the channel's reddit page that posted links of unlisted videos https://www.reddit.com/r/JCSCriminalPsychology/. From what i understand is that unlisted videos were Patreon content but the Patreon has been discontinued for over a year now, so people began posting videos that were on there.
I can understand how guilty individuals that don’t have the financial stability to pay for competent legal representation think their only way out is to possibly outwit or lie there way to freedom, but the guilty people that clearly have the money to hire top tier Counsel and don’t immediately ask for a lawyer blows my mind
"In the military, I was in an office like this when discussing top secret stuff. Y'know, cuz I'm a Colonel" "This is a police interrogation, Russell. I don't give a shit"
This detective is so good at subconscious trust building and body language, imagine how good he must be on first dates. "Hey, I'm a detective." sits slightly closer and mirrors her body language "OMG SO ARE YOU MARRIED?"
I’m surprised that someone of his rank and time in the military broke so easily. Relatively speaking I mean, he was a pilot so he should have gone through SERE or the Canadian version anyway. He should have said his name rank and serial number and shut up and called JAG or a personal lawyer. Really speaks to his narcissistic personality that he thought he could beat them at the mental Olympics.
I can somewhat see why this one was unlisted. it shouldn't be, I don't believe in censorship of things like this for educational purposes, but I do think its the most disturbing JCS vid I've watched. Very chilling
i was listening to this in the background while doing other stuff and i had to keep checking in to see if the video had paused to load, but no, williams is just bad at convincing people he didn't kill someone
The bootprint part kinda made me uneasy. What if it was a different pair of boots? If Russell had gotten rid of those boots he wore that night, he would have easily seen through the bluff
WOW, like most people I've seen documentary show type video of REAL interrogations before. This one is unique. I don't remember a guy just saying casually "I raped her". I've heard relatively calm admission of murder but never rape. Maybe others have seen it , but I gotta say that's a new one for me.
Yes, quite true. The good ole "gut feeling/instinct". People frequently ignore it, and brush it off as irrational.. But that person followed his... Good on him.
This is without a doubt one of the most remarkable feats I've ever witnessed. Without ever seeming even the slightest bit ruffled, this detective managed to break a highly-trained and decorated career military man and obtain a full confession for a series of horrific rapes and murders...all in less time than its ever taken me to beat a darned escape room game.
Manecki Neckbeard hate to shatter your image of the cop but if you research into how he was offending eg how regularly and close to home , I reckon he wanted to get caught,I will point out however, my training is not in psychology but hairdressing 😳😂
That poor girl thought he'd let her go. This man is a monster. Wth did he do for almost 24 hours? She must have been petrified, no wonder she had a seizure. This is beyond awful.
Kudos to the detective that, with having nothing on him could make him believe that he doesn't have any way out and all his secrets are revealed, except shoe and tire print whatever they had on him were some theories but he could play him to the point of confession ...Bravo...
For having access to top secret information, he did a horrendous job of securely hiding all of his "momentos". The minute a search warrant was requested he knew he was done for. Not a chance
Upon being confronted with the foot prints matching, an innocent person would not have sat there in silence. Also, when the detective (at 27:30) asks why Russell was at Jessica Lloyd's house, an innocent person would not have sat there in silence. An innocent person would have gotten angry and said, "What the hell? You think I had something to do with this?" or something along those lines. Russell's silence says a lot!
Now that I'm done and have thoroughly enjoyed this video, I'ma go off on a tangent. I'm female, therefore will never experience male pattern baldness. I have NEVER seen hair loss like this. I've seen it start in the top/middle then spread out. Also seen the peaks start at the hairline and then spread backward. What does he got going on here??!! And whoever placed the camera there is petty as hell and know he's dead wrong for that. 😂😂😂😂
He knew that moment one day would come. He never planned on denying anything once the day had come. He nodded yes to everything but he was barely paying any attention because he was processing "that is it the day has come" (even said he couldnt belueve that was happening). Once he processed it (after minutes of silence), he finally showed the psycopath in him by saying "want nay particular details). He was eager to confess and describe veerything.
"Call me Russ please..." <---pretty key indicator that he doesn't like being spoken to in the manner his mother / father would have. Yes, Napoleon, here we go!
I cant comprehend the fear and pain those women went through. What a absolute nightmare. He deserves to be put through that pain and torture and fear. He probably has been doing this his entire life. Disgusting. Vile.
The interrogator did a great job regardless!!!! It also caught my attention that he did not use Russels job title not a single time throughout the whole interrogation which might remind the guy who he was and became defensive and refuse the further questioning....
Why are some of these videos unlisted or private?! I love these videos but now I'm worried I'll miss or lose them. These videos are gems, please dont remove them!
There is 26 unlisted videos, you can find them all on his Patreon for as little as 1 dollar per month. I really reccommend it if you love this channel and want more.
Josh Purdy I think I’m the Rafferty interrogation someone else did the brunt of the work. I believe Mr Smythe had been promoted. Although he did come in a few times to try and break him.

This investigator is masterful. It’s in the questioning: as an example he asks “Why do you think *these things happened*?” instead of challenging the suspect with “Why did *you do these things*?” He never breaks the trust he’s gained earlier in the interrogation. He also never reveals his own feelings one way or the other, minimizing the suspect’s fight or flight response - there’s no threat here, this is all very normal, just two guys having a conversation. He makes himself sound almost bored with the whole thing, while the murderer confesses everything. Well done on his part keeping it all together.
yeah, you understand that the creator of the video pointed all of this out right? This comment is the same as commenting a plot summary on a video of a plot summary.
@WonderThaProphet i enjoy explaining to people why their actions are stupid. They usually try to defend their stupid behaviors and continue to look stupid, ever hear of clowns or jesters?
OMG when he said the cat was fixated on him & that’s how she noticed him there lurking in the corner, my blood literally ran cold. Animals can detect evil & she must of been petrified 😰 what a monster
I'm only 5 minutes in but this is the best crime "show" I've ever seen. I hate those on tv for their constant dramatization. I love the matter of factness and the psychological profiles of this videoo! I'm subscribing and sharing!
@wesleyfilms It's almost as though there is another economic system that favours work out of solidarity and inherent altruism in humans and not just profit. Just saying.
I realize that all of the cases on this channel are of guilty people, but it's pretty damn scary that the detective can be pretty sure of guilt simply by how you talk in this tiny, quiet room that is a brand new experience for you. And, is most likely meant to rule you out as a suspect. Everyone is going to react differently to that. Yeah, it doesn't make him guilty right away, but it probably means he's gonna be there for hours until he says something incriminating. Even if it's not fully true and happens from exhaustion.
It was the search warrants. He had a MASSIVE collection of mementos, pictures, and movies. He knew at least one of the victims had been all over his house in Tweed and a decent forensic exam would turn that up. His goose was cooked right there and he knew it: search warrants meant The End. His wife would soon know all about him. Hiding this from his wife was an important part of his life. Once that was not possible, he makes no further effort to defend himself.
Interesting are also the interrogators reactions to some of his comments. The moment Russ first says "I raped her..." the interrogator places his hand near his own mouth and stiffens as he hears the story... It really makes me wonder and at the same time, kinda makes me feel bad for the interrogator himself as his humanity shows. I don't think anyone would be comfortable hearing these details firsthand.
Jim Smith is a brilliant interrogator, I hope Canada gave him the respect he deserved for putting "Russ" where he belongs. Did he say at the beginning that he also "interviewed" Barnardo, as in Paul Barnardo? Excellent vid #JCS I love your insight of these interrogations.
He was worried when she was having a seizure she was going to bite her tongue. So he made sure she didnt. Then he caved her skull in with a flashlight. Makes sense....
Even complete psychopaths learn the ability to respond palliatively to a health crisis, even if the bigger health crisis is the psychopath themselves. Williams was a conscientious man without a conscience. That’s part of what makes him fascinating from a purely criminological standpoint. I’ve no doubt that he responded to the seizure as any attentive person would, but deep inside he likely viewed it as nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
i honestly believe that he cared about her at that point it's not cuz he didn't want her to die so he could kill her or some sick shit like that... altho he was a cold blooded murderer he still showed affection towards the victim his protective instincts still kicked in... even these psychos know that you dun just leave someone to die from something like that
Ikr..He seems to have separate psycho and normal compartments in his brain. He also seemed genuinely concerned about minimising the impact on his wife and even the military base
@Deputy Dawg That's most likely the answer. Maybe it's a little that it's a natural (or possibly even learned) instinct to help a person in a medical crisis, but that probably only played a small role if any. He wanted the control. In his mind he was entitled it. Can't have a seizure get in the way of that.
This really weirded me out too. Why did he "talk her through" the seizure, let her rest afterwards, etc., as though he cared about her, only to murder her not long after? I don't understand this man at all. I also feel EXTREMELY badly that this woman who had to endure a seizure in the company of her torturer.
@Ellen Weiss I forgot about this video till just now. Even a year later this still doesn't make sense to me. He comforted her only to kill her once he gained some small bit of trust /compassion.
@Ellen Weiss I think that seizure was his downfall, and why he was so eager in the interrogation. SOMETHING bout Jessica made him feel guilty. This wasn't simply another 'assault/murder' combo; he brought Jessica to his home, rested next to her, talked her out of the seizure, comforting her through it. The murder later was survival instinct as the others; the dead can't snitch.
@(edited) i think their argument is weakened by talking about how ppl are “evil” - evil isn’t really a thing. people don’t do bad things just for the sake of it. he raped and murdered those women because he was a sexual sadist, he was arrogant enough to think he could get away with fulfilling his fantasy & knew leaving witnesses could implicate him.
@amagicallaura had the best take IMO Ill get back to that First its kinda interesting that the vast majority of you assume someone who worked themselves up from stealing undergarments to actually raping and then murdering would be completely neglectful of the victims need prior to the execution. I feel like this man is a sexual sadist, but that is a mostly a sexual deviant point of arousal - I think WIlliams certainly has purposively conditioned himself to be less empathetic over time at the same time as his sexual urges increased and this lessened morality (it imitates a sociopath's lack of empathy) helps to allow him to be okay with committing these violent acts.
I actually completely disagree with this take that deputy dawg has... "He wanted to kill her, he wanted that control" .. I dont think he's a true sadist outside of the sexual side of him, certainly there is the control aspect of the rape and binding them, but I honestly didn't get the impression that he wanted to kill them or even enjoyed doing so - he did it because (excuse my bluntness) it tied up loose ends.
Contrast this to someone like Ted Bundy who actively tortured his victims during the sexual act doing excessively vile things and killing them in exceedingly brutal ways.
When Williams was in the act, I feel like he wanted complete control for his sexual gains but that if he could've had it entirely his way he would've wanted them to like it. I don't think that he hated them like you'd see from a lot of serial killers that stems a lot of times from their relationships with their moms. You certainly do have a level of misogynistic behavior- I don't know if you've seen The Frozen Ground the killer Robert Hansen played by John Cusack kills strippers/call girls and justifies it in his conservative/religious beliefs 'you cant rape a whore' the act of how he captures them uses them for sex is similar but he torments them because he genuinely dislikes them even using them as a game for himself in his execution method which is straight from "The Most Dangerous Game" where he basically sets them free and hunts them. Contrastingly Williams sexually deviant fantasy seems more like the I will use any woman I want for my pleasure any way I want cause sex is not a bad feeling they should just like it -- It actually is almost a pinpoint replication of the behavior of the rapist Chris McCarthy (based off Marc O'Leary) in the TV - Miniseries 'Unbelievable' about how these girls rapes are handled by police the contrasting nature of how male cops handled it vs. two female cops played by Toni Collette and Merritt Wever (who were great in it) who end up actually solving the cases.
Why is this unlisted now? I love your videos they are the best and i watched every one of them and wanted to give this to a friend, the effort you put into these is amazing
The detectives body language is gold, 60% of the time you could place him at a private family scene and then he changes into some dude waiting at a busstop combined with his lowkey, at times almost whispering voice, - he is so unthreatening - yet exudes super confidence - he is so good!!!
They are amazing eh? Imagine when they start getting the tell tale signs that this person is a psychotic murderer... just gotta sit there all gangster still.
J Sandbox Probably is genuinely trusting and gentle with his family and whatnot. Amazing to see that demeanor so effectively used to fight a monster though..
"Call me Russ please" was the most unexpected thing I've ever heard in the middle of an interrogation,I laughed out loud :D And then the "synchronized body language" after that looks so cute (if we forget the circumstances and pretend he's asking him if he took the last cookie)
Russell had high consciousness. He took many photos of his crimes despite also trying to hide them. It's like a part of himself WANTED to be caught, and not for fame. His ego was easily torn down and blown up. People like that are easy to manipulate. So idk if this detective was groundbreaking, but he definitely was the right fit to get Russell to confess.
you know that cliche scenario when you have a drink too much with a person you are not that familiar with and after gotten drunk you ask them to call them by your first name or nickname. He pulled that "call me russ" when he confessed of raping and killing that woman
He cares a lot about his wife but imagine if his wife was a random neighbor of this monster. She could have just as easily been one of his victim. So bizarre how these monster can't put the 2 situation together.
Manuel Caveira2020-09-15 21:32:32 (edited 2020-09-15 21:32:43 )
The fact the he didn't react at 12:25 to the suggestion the he might be the one who did those crimes is such a red flag for me. Maybe I'm watching these videos way to much, but that raised my attention.
GOOD ON HIM FOR NOT PLAYING THE "IDK WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT" BULLSHIT OTHER SUSPECTS WILL DO... WITH THAT SAID.... HE IS FUCKING SO MATTER OF FACT TONE IS MAKING MY SKIN CRAWL!!!
You can look into it yourself, he worked on the trenton base that time and that's where they sent all of the air cadets in my area, I was in the 741 air cadets and I was sent to trenton for a two week summer camp. He sat with a group of us and a few older cadets in the dining hall and talked for abou twenty mins about what we wanted out of cadets, our career ideas etc, few years later I seen him in the paper for the murders and it blew my mind, you can call bullshit if you want but this happened.
This case is fascinating for so many reasons, but what strikes me (as a lay person) is just how quickly he confessed. The media has depicted psychopaths as incapable of forging any real interpersonal bonds, but there he is, folding for the sake of his wife. In fact it reminds me a bit of seasons 3/4 of Dexter. Without doing any research on this subject, it leads me to believe that he is at least a lesser grade of psychopath...one with a sort of tribal mentality. His tribe is his family -- he'll protect it at all costs, but the outside world is fair game for whatever his whims may be. Maybe an expert can chime in, but it makes sense, evolutionarily speaking. His brand of psychopathy might have been an asset to some ancient village, perhaps he'd even be treated like a hero, with his crimes ignored because they happen outside the village. But now that today's "villages" are so large and impersonal that peoples "tribes" are actually narrower, his kind has become a liability to society.
Damn, the only evidence the cops had was footprints and tire tracks. and like JCS said, the tire tracks could easily be explained away since they were a common brand for off-road vehicles. A good defense attorney could have got him off if he would have just shut up and demanded a lawyer immediately. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this murderer was caught and locked up, but speaking from a legal standpoint, YOU NEVER TALK TO THE COPS. So many people would have avoided jail if they would have just shut their mouths.
The fact that he looked after her when she had a seizure, knowing he was going to kill her, makes it all the more chilling. And the thing with the cat is like something out of a horror movie
He was chewing the gum to mellow out his nerves. Most guilty people will have a "teddy bear" item there to do so rather it's sipping coffee and fidgeting with the mug or gum. You will see the person fidgeting with something to distance them self from the lie. Interesting huh?
I wonder if he looked after her so well during her seizure wasn’t so much because he didn’t want her to hurt herself, but rather that he wanted her to die at his hands. Imagine how cheated he would have felt if she had died from a fit.😐
48:05 Can't believe JCS didn't hit on this but he must've felt it was so obvious, "Russ" relaxes himself as he gets prepared to tell a long winded story. What a psychopath
Iv watched hundreds if not thousands of interogation annalasis and this man is fucking insane, i swear he did everything without even thinking about it, every question perfectly exicuted and disguised as simple friend to friend confesions, even the "i dont know, like how did you ETC"
Tire tracks and shoe prints. That’s all they had to tie this guy to the murder. If he had kept his mouth shut and lawyered up from the beginning, he would have walked given his social standing as a high ranking member of the military. Thankfully, he did run his mouth which buried him and the families of the victims got justice.
Ray Finkle unfortunately there was no justice had, otherwise Russ would’ve been kidnapped, assaulted, raped, tied up, and then murdered and dumped in the woods. But at least the families got some closure.
2 things: 1, narcissistic sociopaths/psychopaths believe they can cover their own hide, and that requesting a lawyer would arouse suspicion - as it would - and 2, this sick fuck most likely took some semblance of pleasure by being able to recount the events, and sharing that side of him with someone other than themselves.

Laura Sparkles lawyering up doesn’t mean anything to police other than that you know your rights. Even if you’re innocent, you should have a lawyer involved. You are up against the government which has unlimited resources and money. If you don’t know the law, you shouldn’t navigate this path on your own.
@Ray Finkle yes yes, I am not disagreeing that lawyering up is the correct thing to do, I am simply thinking in the perspective of a person akin to Williams here
Unfortunately, I'm not even 100% sure it was him. I was taken in for an investigation, and I for just a few moments wondered if I actually stole the computer from a walmart backroom because they said they had dna, video, and fingerprints. And then after I assured myself I didn't somehow commit a theft without remembering, I thought I was going to jail no matter what I said, and was thinking of getting a plea deal. I got lawyer, and it truned out they were lying the whole time, which basically destroyed my trust in the police forever.
Blacklight Redlight The techniques and legal flexibility they have are great, but like anything else that grants an individual power over another, there’s room for misuse, abuse, and tragic abortions of justice.
Blacklight Redlight the detectives aren’t trying to find out what really happened, they’re trying to incriminate and tie anyone they can into the crime, sad as it is it’s true, that’s why you should ALWAYS get a lawyer if you’re faced with this situation and never answer anything except for “no comment” to any police officer.
It’s scary that these types of men are in authority positions. There’s no way that no one noticed something wrong with this man in life. His wife knew. She knew something was wrong sexually with this man. And didn’t say something. She knew.
@Shusty Rackleford I don't know, I think murdering someone because you enjoy raping and murdering is pretty emotional. as for instance LIKING/WANTING something so badly that your willing to kill someone and possibly go to jail for the rest of your life, is pretty emotional and irrational if you ask me.
Shusty Rackleford there’s what interrogators say happens and then there’s what really happens. You think this guy didn’t know not to say anything? They offered him a lawyer, he could walk out any time he’s a strong military dude he would have walked right past that little dude if he wanted to. He definitely knew what he was doing walking in there he wanted to be caught. He let the interrogator think he was doing his job while he prepared himself mentally to spill the beans. My 2 cents anyways
Shusty Rackleford My point is everyone likes to say this guy is a moron because he walked into the wolf’s den wearing the same boots and let the interviewer break him down and confessed. My theory is that none of that is true. He was not intimidated by the interviewer. He is not stupid. He would have avoided this situation if he didn’t want caught. He wore those boots and came there with the specific intention of getting caught. It’s not possible to rule this theory out because no one knows his exact intentions.
@Shusty Rackleford The intelligent ones get away with it, did you see how fast he broke? If he had no emotion he wouldn't have panicked, would have lawyered up real quick. He was arrogant, which means he wasn't very smart
@Shusty Rackleford wow, you assume that much about me by my reply without knowing anything else about me? Doesn't speak well to your intelligence. First off pilots in the CF are trained in what's called conduct after capture, basically resisting interrogation secondly, arrogance comes from the false assumption that you are better than others which an intelligent person should know is nonsensical. In any case if he's so smart why did he get caught? Could he have not forseen with his "hyperintelligence" the danger he was in?
@Shusty Rackleford Ok let me break this down for ya, the very definition of arrogant is having an exaggerated sense of ones own abilities, exaggerated means not realistic (better or worse than reality). Intelligence is hard to define and even harder to measure but generally the more intelligent you are the more in touch with reality you should be. There are many people who, like you idealize murders for whatever reason and you're free to choose your role models but do notice how the detective did not need to employ overly elaborate methods to get a full confession in under an hour. The result of the interrogation speaks for itself, the most intelligent man in that room is the detective.
@Shusty Rackleford there are tons of studies on different kinds if interrogation techniques. This guy would not had confessed faced with the Reid Technique. The Reid Technique is what normally gets false confessions. This questioning is perfect.
@Shusty Rackleford you took the time to look up my views, I'm flattered.

@Shusty Rackleford yes, that's what initially made me comment. Reid Technique usually is an attempt to force a confession by lying about evidence. It's super shitty because most of the time it involves hours and hours of questioning simply to break them down.
@Ready Teddy with soldiers like Esteban Santiago-Ruiz and American friendly fire accounting for the majority of coalition forces killed in desert Storm I wouldn't be to quick to say Americans have smarter soldiers
@Shusty Rackleford I think the opposite is true, at least with regard to psychopaths. They are often (not always) average or below average according to current research. There certainly is not a lot of evidence that psychopaths are somehow more intelligent, however that concept is defined. I appreciate the fact that you admitted oversimplification (often necessary) ,but I urge you to think again if you think these crimes are committed by "hyperintelligent" people. Or that they're somehow "logical."
@Shusty Rackleford Thanks for your civility as well! I enjoyed reading your insights too--especially the fact that this man shaped many lives...a lot to ponder here for sure.
@Aaron Rood He confessed because the interrogator told him that search warrants were in progress at both his homes. After considering his options, he came to the conclusion that it would be impossible to maintain his innocence. There is no point to fight a losing battle. Either flee or surrender. Fighting/Resisting is illogical when you can not prevail. The question I have is .... was the interrogator lying about the search warrants?
I feel like this was such an easy crime to get away with (could've said that boots were standard footwear and they'll have to investigate more than a hundred thousand soldiers in that case) however due to the canadianness of this person he just goes right on and admits it
The dude is so calm in the sense of the investigator is basically say"yo dude. you totally did this right?" and the col isnt even like "dude no Why am i even here..."
Wow that detective, he really is committed to his job turning down deals that would make himself more money than he is probably making at his current position. That in its self tells you a lot about the man.
Being the investigator, bluffing and outwitting your suspect; it's hard to imagine he didn't once crack a smile for each time he lured him where he wanted and got something out of his suspect.
so my takeaway is that, if you get arrested, police can and WILL lie to you at every opportunity they get basically dont believe a word of what they say lol
The detective is SO GOOD. Really interesting when he says “why do you think these things happened”. I’m guessing if he said “why did you do this” the suspect would have gotten defensive. He’s so good at making it seem like he’s on this dudes side.
Emily Marguerita totally agree...I am so impressed at how non-judgemental he is, how respectful and so calculated. I hope this guy got a promotion or award.
@Chelsea Dunham that it would work is counterintuitive to me. Listening to the interrogator speak, you could pick out his act from a mile away. It got irritating to me at some points. He's talking to someone strongly suspected of egregious crimes like he's his lifelong friend. Even after the admission he keeps it up. You would think a colonel would be well versed in psychological tactics and see right through it all, but it worked. "Call me Russ", a significant gesture of trust and intimacy, right before admitting to rape and murder.
As a military man, Williams was used to dealing with people in an impersonal manner. I doubt he had many genuine connections with anyone in his life. Being a psychopath makes that difficult, but a high ranking military job even more so. And along comes this investigator, who doesn't call him by his rank, who treats him like an equal, digging into his most repressed secrets. Williams was desperately in need of intimacy, of something genuine beyond the life he knew. Ironically, he found that in the least genuine place imaginable. Perhaps that's also why he committed all of these horrible as well as strange acts, stalking, break-ins, taking photos in women's stolen bras... he needed something to release himself from the responsibility on his shoulders and the hard image he needed to keep up. It's similar to how kids who are held on a tight leash by their parents often grow up to act out by excessive partying or drug abuse.
He needed a friend to be honest with, and the investigators no doubt studied everything about him beforehand and constructed the interrogation strategy based on that. Pretty brilliant.
VoidSurf I work as a counselor and have to talk to people about very difficult subjects and being non-judgmental is crucial...Russel was waiting for someone to talk to...he had been holding all that in for awhile and when he realized he was caught and that this man wasn’t going to fight him...he took the opportunity to spill his guts
Living houses away from this man with a wife who worked on the base and this coming out was life changing, we moved even after this happened, something changed, my kids didnt want to go outside, my wife didnt feel safe being out back. All this after he was in jail, his actions had far reaching consequences that went beyond just the families he immediately effected.
While I'm not going to be offensive like some I was irked by the reactions. When you have experienced prolonged and pervasive violence and crime through your life, mainly due to socioeconomic and geographic factors, it is bewildering to see what comes across as exaggerated condolences over being in the vicinity of horror. Makes me wonder how so many can be so sensitive while presumably still being active participants in the immoral acts of society such as military conflicts and inequality. Irreconcilable duality is the norm though.
@chris hughes that's the thing though most people are not accustomed to violence and no media made in Hollywood does not make you more desensitized to seeing a person's leg get blown off on liveleak lol I've been deployed 4 times and I've seen stuff that people shouldn't have too, so I'm pretty desensitized to almost everything (animals still get me I dunno why) lol but my wife although military has never been subjected to these things. He literally tied up and murdered our neighbour so I get where she's coming from. Not to mention the two times our house was broken into before I could install an alarm system. I think it was just so many things combined that made the choice to move. I think in general the human population is quite compassionate towards each other and we prove that daily.
@Greased Lightning I'm not trying to doctor Phil you honestly, believe it or not I worry about people like you truly. You just bragged about getting enjoyment from trying to hurt others online. For all we know we will see your interview on here soon. Just be well man, try painting its more fulfilling.
Also everyone that gave me well wishes thank you, we have a beautiful home now and a new addition to the family and we were able put that craziness behind us.
chris hughes were you actually ‘irked’ or annoyed by people’s reactions though? I think people empathizing is fine ..maybe a bit overblown since nothing actually happened to op’s family but whatever. maybe it’s just that it’s a different kind of situation. For instance...murder would scare someone even if they have been robbed 3x. Cancer would scare someone even if they have hiv. Does that make sense ? I’m super tired haha.
@B SR I'm not sure honeetly but in my experience there's no such thing as coincidence. Nothing went missing that I could see but my wife never never thought to go through her unmentionables lol
@Greased Lightning I kinda understand you and what you mean. I am living in a apartment where the next door junkie was stabbed to death and he crawled to my door to bang for help, perished before the ambulance came. But I ain't bitching and crying how "traumatic" that was. Some people are just weak and it is acceptable.
@Hate Is Love with all due respect there's a world of difference between your apathy to the situation you describe and the apathy of the well fed troll to the OP's situation.
What is wrong with all of you in the comments . I have seen people jump in front of trains. The first deadbody I saw in my life was that of a boy who was still hanging on the beam of his house...and I don't want anyone to see what I have seen if their mind can't take it. Why do you have to be mean to others just because they had a better life. Dafuck.
“You were at Jessica Lloyd’s house, and I need to know why.” An innocent person would immediately deny this. Instead, Russell goes silent for more than a minute straight. Dead giveaway.
@L B It's a news story that was auto tuned and made into a song. OPs use of the phrase "dead giveaway" got the song in my head. The same guys auto tuned a review for five guys burgers and turned it into a freaking awesome song. Dead Giveaway is a decent song too, though.
I've seen this interrogation probably 5 times before this. Only JCS could make me want to watch it again. Ever since I discovered Jims channel I've been waiting for his commentary on this one. Detective Smith is my favorite interrogator ever. He broke this guy down so masterfully. To get a full confession from someone as high profile as Russell Williams is just amazing. Thanks for this one Jim!!
This is one of the best executed police interrogations on record. It's like poetry. This story is truly terrifying. The part about the cat was....just bloodcurdling, emotionally.
What a total fucking lunatic. Bravo to this interrogator. I’m in awe of these interrogators abilities to stay focused and to use these tactics for hours.
He should've got a lawyer at the moment he got the evidence from the investigator. But I think he didn't because he thought he get away with all of this as he was a high-ranking officer.
Just so you know it’s pronounced “or-leens”, love the videos, scary for one to hit so close to home

Holy fuck this was terrifyingly creepy as hell. Like I didn't even feel rage against him like I did towards one of the previous child rapist/murderer, just a pure shock how at how casually he's talking about the monstrosities he did.
Also any idea why this one is unlisted? I can maybe understand the Smollett or the one with the prince, but this one seem like it would fit the channel without any issues?
This was a very long interrogation, JCS cant cover it all. A key part on the full interview for me was when DS Smith asks him what kind of tyres he has on his SUV.
40:47 I almost don't even notice it, he huffs out this sentence "she thought we were leaving" almost as if he were about to chuckle or stopped himself from doing it. I only think this because of how comfortable he is talking about what he did. I just dont find it unlikely he would almost chuckle about something like this given that characteristic continuing after he confesses. I don't think it's unlikely to assume that he would get a chuckle out of it as a "haha you thought we were leaving and I fucking killed you". I dont think this man sees women as equals or really as people. To be driven to do something like this off impulse is a mentality that he has coped with and accepted without looking for guidance or help.
Dude. More, please. Dissecting interrogation videos and crimes with the perfect balance of letting the material speak for itself and only interjecting when absolutely necessary - perfection. I’m definitely subscribing
@Courtney Thompson Tonne? ( Edit) was confused with a barrel size, meaning a metric ton: I.e A tonne weight being shipped, mostly the same etiology with a slight deviation from different places. ton-(English: North American): tonne( English: non-American-English for tonnage).
"Call me Russ, please" based on the fact that shortened names are generally nicknames, (and that nicknames are often used by people close to the person), shows his extreme stress. He's requesting a feeling of comfort when he feels out of control
So glad you made this comment!!! Its the only reason I came to the comments! I have been wondering why he would say such a trivial thing in this situation. What you said makes sense though!! Cant believe this narrator didnt mention it!!!!!
He didn't look too worried when he first came into the room, smacking gum and acting as if he didn't have a care in the world. I don't know why people are against the death penalty. He had no problem dishing out the death penalty to these poor women.
At the start of the interrogation is so interesting to know (As it was pointed out), the evidence presented by the Police could be dismissed so easily however, his feelings and the guilt prevented him to think logically. Can't believe feelings can dismiss logic so easily.
A High Ranking military official folding after an hour of polite conversation and couple photographs is the most Canadian thing since "That's pure evil bud"
are you kidding me? this is the best channel on this website!

Those of us obsessed with interrogation techniques and studying them and understanding them, like most of the people watching these videos lol, know exactly how precise Jim Smyth's interrogation was... Talk about a master of his craft... Some people really don't get how much went on during that simple looking "discussion" between those two guys that just doesn't meet the untrained eye...
@strydom666 - Perhaps.. There are 2 or 3 hundred murders a year in the Ontario area, that's incredibly low, but still more than enough to go around I guess...
Actually footwear imprints alone isn't definitive evidence (which was the only piece of evidence they had along with tyre tracks) a defense could argue that the matching imprints are a simple coincidence and anyone could of been wearing the same footwear, but of course Williams didn't know this, and so does the interrogator, so he made it out to be a crucial, substantially incriminating piece of evidence when it was not, it's all mind games.
They believe he went there because he thought they were going to ask about his neighbor who he was trying to frame for the crimes he had committed only to discover that he was the one they now suspected. I found this out form a documentary about his crimes.
@Romanov The thing im surprised is that hes a col. Why does he go to a police interogation when id imagine hes had training in interogation psychology and the basic idea you should never talk to the police without a lawyer. Something doesnt add up and its not the Col being careless. It seems like a set up.
He was in panic mode and knew it was all unravelling from the moment he was pulled over. They took his ids and days later he gets a call to come to the station. Nerves kick in and when you’re panicking you screw up and put your boots on. His house was full of evidence too.
@Romanov No matter what he thought they had on him it's amazing to me that someone who commits crimes this bad that carries very long sentences hasn't thought out what to do if police ever came knocking.
He should have never agreed to come in without a lawyer just like anyone else shouldn't. Doesn't matter if you're guilty or not. If police wants to ask you questions about a murder you only go with a lawyer.
You need to flatter a sociopath or narcissist or you'll get nowhere. Their ego is hugely inflated. They think they are cleverer & superior to everyone else
@K Rel simply knowing interrogation techniques and being subjected to one are complete different things. Take the interrogation of Stephanie Lazarus for example..
@Gobuilditbetter they have to so they can get the truth. But in some cases its unfortunate when it comes to bad apples who think they are hot shots and above the law
@Dr Shinobi The truth is there is No Integrity in Deception. This is like telling your children that you have to kick them to show you love them. To condone the practice is to allow the practice. A Bad Apple(COP) is one that is above the use of Ethics and Morals. We send people to prison for just that.
That could be, but the initial mentioning of this, is to show how lying as law enforcement gets them where they want/ or where they think the conversation should go.
@Alienus TerraFirma Deception in any form is wrong. When used in business we call it a Scam, the liar is called a thief. If held to the same standard as Cops then that is OK? Thieves are equal to Cops? On a bigger Picture if laws don't apply then why do we need Cops?
@Romanov, people have gone to prison for murder with the leading piece of evidence being shoe print analysis. There is another documentary floating around on here that I learned that from. It's up to the jury, period.
@Romanov That's exactly what I remarked in my comment. When the detective said to him "These are your boot marks, so you were at Jessica's house", all he should have said is " No they aren't, many men must have the same type of boots !" (and the same argument with the tyre marks), then the interrogation would have run a different course. But all he did was stare at the evidence for minutes at end, saying absolutely nothing. An innocent man would have immediately refuted the allegations. When he said nothing, I knew he was guilty as hell.
Because he felt invonourable to the law. He is literally so high in clouds with his position and that he got away with previous rape and murder, he thought this was gonna be a breeze. Had he known his tires match police records, he would've humbled himself and probably request a lawyer before being detained as a suspect. But the carefree nature of how the police set everything up put his guard down and ego high, exposing him as a fool
@TheDeckinator the tires were actually unique snow tires. Obviously a few others would have them but they were quite rare. I don't know if the shoes and the tires both matchibg Williams ould have been enough but definatley more than enough for a search warrant. What they found could easily convict him.
@K Rel no set up at all. He was so arrogant that he thought he was untouchable. That they would just say oh you're a colonel ok you can go. He never thought he would be caught.
@c0der1020 he was a colonel. He was head of Canada's airforce. He thought he was smarter and untouchable. He didn't think he needed to cover his ass that much bc felt that once they knew who he was they would think no way. Plus I think subconsciously he wanted it to end. Once he said a little he then said a lot as if to finally get it off his chest. He plead quilty to make it easier on his wife and victims family. He was glad it was over. Also I think he plead guilty thinking that they wouldn't need to show all the embarrassing pics.
Yeah some people can be very intelligent but incredibly over confident and stupid for simple things like car tire and boot size.
Basically if you’re going to commit a crime, wear different shoes and throw them away, throw away the weapon, and don’t carry your phone or use your own car. That’s why criminals steal a car before doing a crime and use a burner phone. It’s very difficult to commit a crime like this or anything big and get away with it without being caught.
K Rel tbh no, he was just over confident. Even the well trained can make stupid mistakes. He had no clue what he could be called in for and said screw it, I can talk my way out of this. Nope, not with that detective.
If I were that detective, my first question would have been, "dude....what's up with your hair?" I mean, if that were MY hair, I'd shave that little hair island off my forehead... 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Bret Harley the confession took 3 and some hours ... but yes Det. Sgt. Jim Smyth is unreal at his job... check out his other interrogation... a little tougher in some instances ... I’d sure as he** not want to be interrogated by him!! Wowsa!! ❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦
No, because police are ludicrously undertrained to be dealing with these situations in the first place, we should be having multiple psychologists with degrees interviewing suspects, not some dude with a highschool diploma and an attitude. It's the equivalent of having a high school student do surgery.
When Russel compares the footprints after the 1st confrontation, you can tell his look was more like someone telling him checkmate, and him trying to refute it and find a way out.
I'm amazed at the hubris of these suspects after being told you can leave anytime, then get the fuck-up and LEAVE!! The best remedy from the State authority is to be SILENT, you have NO obligation to SPEAK to ANYONE about ANYTHING!!
I'm the type of person that can get very nervous in questioning to the point I'd fall for every single trap and be suspected even if I am completely innocent.
@merncat75 Much worse than insane - he's a sociopath. He harbors not negative feelings guilt or empathy. They simply don't exist for him.
It's hard to even describe it as evil, although I get why people do. There's just a part of his brain that does not function properly. Not absolving him of guilt - he's guilty. He knew the consequences of his actions were he caught. He knew he was ending peoples lives and affecting their friends and family. He just has no feelings of concern about it.
@Matt Schemmer I think you meant to tag the original commenter, Hailey.. I'm sure she meant that she felt his actions were insane.. I don't believe she was making a psychological diagnosis.
Very well done, however the location given for the various offences and name of the investigating Police agency is wrong. These crimes did not occur in the Ottawa area nor was it investigated by the Ottawa Police. The crime was investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police and occurred in the Trenton, Tweed area of Ontario, about a 3 hour drive from Ottawa.
Imagine going into your basement looking for your cat and finding someone waiting like that. It makes me sick knowing how scared those women must have been.
ProfesserNutButter Well I’ve heard that in California that before defending yourself you have to try and flee. So if you shot a guy next to your window you’d be liable because you didn’t go trough the window. It may not be true, but castle doctrine only exists because of people getting in legal trouble for defending their property and life with deadly force, so there has to be places that punish you for defending yourself in certain manners.
ownedpatrol better than being dead :( my gramps always told me- better to be in front of the beak (the judge) the dead. Not to say those are my views on guns, I live in England and I’ve never had any issues within 100 miles of where I live with weapons. I’m quite happy the average criminal doesn’t have them. RIP to those women. Please everyone, true evil does exist. It’s down to us now to protect our families, loved ones and those who can’t protect theirselves. Love to all of you ❤️🍻🍻❤️
@ProfesserNutButter keep your cat on you, and know how to use it too. My little black fluff ball turns into the xenomorph from Alien if someone she doesn't know tries to touch her, or invades her space.
I had to stop watching the police interrogation at the point that he starts describing that moment. It is just terrifying and distressing to know that any human being could do that to another person. I appreciate the work that Jim does in his videos, but I just cannot listen to the man Russell Williams.
@BlueRingedEntity Exactly, as someone who believes that people should have the right to own a gun, can people stop acting like a gun solves EVERY problem? Nobody has a gun on their person 24/7, nobody.
I have mixed feelings about how detailed he was... My fascination with these makes his details a so interesting but feel awful that the families know every detail of their loves one’s hell...
BlueRingedEntity bullets dont bounce around (ricochet) like rubber balls.
Most american homes are drywall, wood and some insulation material. Bullets will go through them. Even if they hit solid stone they will mostly deform. They may ricochet a small amount but not over and over again.
Knives are almost scarier than guns, someone can lunge/run 21 feet before the average person can draw their weapon.
Pepper spray may work alot of the time, but for the unthinkable situations like this I wouldnt want anything but a firearm that I'm well trained on.
SAD_ PEACH_TREE I never said it's on me 24/7, and I never said it solves EVERY problem. It's a last resort to someone who is trying to kill you.
It's at least within reach of me 24 hours a day unless I go to a place where I absolutely cannot take it.
It stays in my holster all day, which is concealed in my waistband. Then when I get home its still on me. When I shower lit's in the bathroom with me. When I'm sleeping its next to my bed.
I hope I never have to use it. As a woman it really evens the odds to much larger attackers, which physically I could not match.
I know, my vision started swimming when he got to that part, simply from imagining that happening to me. I can't begin to imagine how they must have felt.
@Pongo simply owning a gun and carrying one in public is enough to deter someone like this coward from trying anything on you. He will go somewhere where he knows he won't get shot. So yes, guns do help, mainly by deterring crimes in the first place. That is something that CNN would never admit to. One might argue that is the most valuable thing when owning a firearm; deterring crimes in the first place.
@jbot91 Criminals in the UK for example don't have to worry about this deterrent and therefor get to run a muck on the citizenry because they know full well they have no guns and it's against the law the fight back. Sounds like every bad guy's wet dream if you ask me.
@Stabsnipers exactly right. And the murder rate is ridiculous there and they are of course now banning knives instead of giving the law abiding citizens legal recourse.
@ProfesserNutButter I never said you said that its on you 24/7, I said you and others are acting like it. Obviously a guns helpful as al last resort. But I find a lot of what you said to be unrealistic for me and other people. Not only is it illegal where I live to bring a gun to work or in most places with me, but at home their are children around. Talking it on an off my person when im out doing shit is so convoluted, ill just end up forgeting it. For me a gun should stay in a safty case,, not just next to me in a bathroom. And I know you said its not on you 24/7 but...you literally described how its "on you" 24/7. Just because its not physically on your body doesn't mean its not on you.
@Pongo I'm in the same boat as she is. I have a firearm either on me or within arms reach all the time except when I'm at work. But my state has a law that allows us to bring our guns to work as long as we keep them in our cars. It is literally called the "Indiana bring your gun to work law" and no employer can tell and Indiana resident that they can't have a gun in their vehicle. It's really not that convoluted for me. My gun is either: 1)On my hip. 2)In my locked vehicle while I'm at work. 3)Within arms reach. (In the bathroom, on the night stand, etc) I've been the victim of a home invasion and my gun was the only thing that kept the intruder at bay. It would have done me no good in a safety case. With kids around I would teach them about proper gun safety to mitigate the chances of an accident.
@Pongo yeah, I was replying to your comment. You don't need to carry it 24/7. If a predator sees you with it at the store, it when you are out. He likely won't be willing to risk hiding in your basement for you. These guys are cowards. That is why I said guns are also great crimes deterrents. A criminal is is likely to pick a fight with a person who is armed, doesn't even necessarily need to be on your hip at all times.
this! This! everytime I remember this deranged monster ! What an unholy amount of terror he has created for nothing but his own gratification.... turns my stomach...
StreetDogSteve it's not fear, its acknowledging we live in a sick world where evil, or whatever you call it, can strike at anytime no matter how unlikely it is. For example, this video.
@ProfesserNutButter Isn't it more likely to be hit by a car while driving or walking across a crosswalk, though? It's just a strange concept to me, to carry a gun in your home, where i'm from anyway. I can understand when you're out in public, especially in parts of the USA, though.
Not trying to make fun of you or anything, it just seems so bizarre to me. I'm also a bigger male, so.
@Tom G this criminal didnt have a gun, or a knife. He had a flashlight, and kiilled two women, could have killed 4, and was only stopped by police by chance. You're right, the average criminal doesnt have a gun in england. Nor does the defenseless.
That's why my wife and I own guns & know damn well how to use them. She knows not to trust a bump in the night as "just a noise"
We have lived in high crime areas and experienced a lot of attempted break ins on our home. We've had our ancestors ashes thrown about the floor and our walls pissed on.
@Dee Bee socialism and gun control get people killed. These people refuse to realize evil exists regardless of being armed or not -so you better CHOOSE to be armed.
@blu halo Psychopathy can be a useful tool in the right profession. There must be a reason evolutionary biology makes an allowance for it in populations. I'd assume the trick to its utility is insuring impulse control is carefully indoctrinated as well.
@Mikail Mooraj No doubt he's plying his trade in lieu of service. Service being of course his ability to breathe oxygen another hour, lest the inhumanity of his acts impugn the character of his cell mates.
@ProfesserNutButter Yeah, that sadly may be reasonable advice.For those who are both legally capable and inclined to arm themselves, we usually put our firearms up when we come home and think we are safe enough to go about our business in our own houses unarmed. But, this shows the sense of security we feel in our own homes is a false one. Maybe one does need to think long and hard about having ready access to a tool of self-defense wherever you go in your home. Especially if you're a woman, and doubly so if you're a woman living alone.
angry zergling exactly. It's really not that bad, it's just somethin I always have on me like my phone. Some people think it sounds crazy but it's no different than a pocket knife except it doesnt serve as many purposes.
@ProfesserNutButter In that instance just knowing how to fight could have worked, mot people in the military aren't as good at fighting as they say they are. And giving him a good fight would have made him a lot more hesitant to try and do anything more.
theoretically.. sure. The last thing I want to do is have to fight someone for my life without a tool or a weapon. Some people cant fight, or the odds are far too uneven to even give you a chance.
@Ben Umm. You'd be surprised. There's numerous web discussions on how people do just that. Shoulder holsters are most comfortable. Attractive woman? Living alone? In Canada she'd face charges of unsafe storage of a restricted firearm, but,...she might be alive....and so would his next victim....
About 95% of the people watching this video have the same thoughts as you. The other 5% spend the whole time figuring out how they would have beaten the cop.
@BlueRingedEntity A .22 would go into or though a soft internal wall. If it glanced a brick wall it would ricochet probably only once and away from you.
@ownedpatrol Buddy no. self defense is self defense. " He wanted to stick weird fallic object in my nether places officer sir. So I put two ducks o buck in his back pockets n called to see if you were in or down at the tims."
@Ben Ikr! Looking for the cat - take your gun. Going for a pee in the middle of they night - take your gun. And if you must sleep - glue that sucker to your hand!
To understand why such people exist and society is falling apart look up the Mouse Utopia Experiment and you will get the answers to many of life's sick questions.
Thought the same. I really can't imagine the terror of playing the victim in a real world horror movie. Seriously that's straight out of a horror movie, and the incomprehensible nightmare of it happening in real life is terrifying and literally chilling. It kind of haunted me all night.
Not just someone. Your commanding officer! Imagine going down to your basement and seeing the CEO of whatever company you work for waiting down there. Those poor women indeed.
Darius Kang us Americans also want all the guns confiscated. We just don’t know how to go about it safely. I strongly suggest that job should instead be assigned to some smart & sophisticated Canadians.
He hid in the closet of one woman in Tweed while she was home the whole time. He left after she left. That was before he escalated. Could you imagine knowing that this man later killed women. That it could have been her. He also ejaculated in a young girls drawer of her undergarments while they were not at home. This was in Ottawa. I don't know if I could live there after that.
If this video was shown more in high schools, I'm sure less adolescents would be aspiring to be entertainers or actors who PRETEND to be men like Jim Smith.
@NovaCygni You cant really say that from this video alone. Psychopaths are born, while sociopaths internalizes the traits through life. You can not say which one he is from this video alone.
I don’t see the big deal, honestly. It’s just some guy telling what happened. Yeah, he did horrible things, but he’s not really trying to make it creepy or anything. The fact that he doesn’t flinch at the mention of how horrible those things are doesn’t really make him a psychopath, it just means he understands that horrible things are real and that he’s responsible for what happened.
@Rodd Broward Also he did ask how to minimize what his wife has to deal with, which doesn't sound like a psychopath... he might have been pretending, but I don't see what he'd have to gain since the game was over at that point. But obviously we can't diagnose people via a video.
could you maybe analyze the interrogation of someone innocent and how exactly you can tell that someone’s innocent - i’d be so interested in that! love your stuff btw - been following you for the longest time and finally became a patreon subscriber as well!
Emilthehun well not really the presumption of innocents states the exact opposite, as far as i know and have learned from these kind of videos as well you can‘t go to jail with no solid evidence
@emma you might want to check the facts on the number of wrongfully accused, look up actually numbers on wrongfully convicted, and then realize that you can be at the wrong place at the wrong time , and end up spending the rest of your life in prison.
It's be interesting, but unfortunately (or fortunately for the innocent), I'm not sure if the police would be allowed to release an interview of an innocent person.
Emilthehun course you can but there has to be evidence, even if a detective hs made up his mind about you being guilty if there’s no actual evidence he can’t possibly arrest you - because innocent until proven guilty (by evidence) wether or not that evidence was created by you being at the wrong place at the wrong time or by you committing a crime doesn’t really matter, i give you that. but saying youre guilty until proven innocent is just plain bs
@emma no. I said once you are accused, you are guilty until you proven innocent. And how do you think innocent people get locked up in the first place? There no factual evidence needed , just fitting a profile, driving the same type of car , having a similar shirt will do the trick. Detectives will do everything they can to make a deal with you to confess to the crime. They will tell you that you are looking at life in prison, but if you confess now , they offer a plea deal for a lesser charge. And boom you confess to something you've never done. And maybe in terms of percentage it's only 0.01% , but how do you know that you wont be part of this 0.01%? You come off as someone intelligent, so why not read a few case studies to understand how and why this happens.
So I’ve actually met some people who worked this case and took interviewing courses from RCMP polygraph specialists, and graduated the program near the top.
Generally, when someone is innocent, it won’t be a single thing or few things they say, it’ll be that their story, composer and alibi maintains veracity, or its something you can develop into a story with a beginning, middle and end. The guilty, unless they’re confessing, will lie and cover up, creating faults in their story. A criminal interrogation is more conceptual than literal in that it’s a “bigger picture” thing.
Russel did not once ask "why are you telling me this? Why are you asking me?" These are questions that EVERY innocent person immediately asks once they are questioned...
@Emilthehun Is that actually how it goes in Canada? Interesting. When in the interview does he become technically accused? Or would that happen in a separate legal process?
@Greg Scott Canada? I didn't say anything about Canada, but most likely the same as everywhere else. Should I Google the latest statistics on the number of wrongfully accused persons, or you will do it your self? Your question makes absolutely no sense being that all of the information is publicly available for anyone to see.
@Emilthehun Jim has had multiple cases where the person was innocent. Recently the girl who's husband committed suicide and she was accused. The police even tempered with evidence to have her convicted but they got caught. The black guy, who was caught accused of robbing the jewelry store but they had no evidence, and the guy who kept asking for a coke and just wouldn't talk, so he was let go.
@Emilthehun Apologies for the 'absolutely no sense' question. These events took place in Canada. In the US, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty (not just accused of something). In some cases it may be only a technical distinction, but it is important nonetheless. Your comment got me thinking that this may not be true in Canada. Is it, or is this another question that makes absolutely no sense? A quick search answered my question. In Canada, there is also the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
@Greg Scott the innocent until proven guilty is a myth. Kind of like a feel good slogan . In Canada, around 872 people are wrongfully convicted each year. Although much much lower then the USA, it still shows that anyone can be a victim to such crime. And that is why it is actually the opposite that is true. You are guilty unless you can prove your innocence. Most people think this only happens to criminals but that is not true. Just like any traffic violation, where the officer gives you a ticket. Let's say it's a speeding ticket. Are you innocent until proven guilty, or guilty until you prove your innocence ? Well I can tell you , that you are guilty, unless you show proof to the court that you didn't commit the crime. A dashcam video for example. So you see , there is a difference between the two. The officers word is enough with no evidence to back it up to turn anyone into a victim. Conviction without evidence is hard , and that is why ple bargain is used where you testify against your self in exchange for a lesser sentence. Obviously it's the same in Canada, just not as wide spread yet.
@Channel Ninbikun and so you can see that the cops will do just about anything to lock you up. They are not your friends, and once you pop up on their radar, do not ever talk to them without a lawyer present.
@Emilthehun I agree with what you are saying; there are MANY problems with the system, including the fact that routinely prosecutors can mess with evidence without consequences. Many innocent people end up convicted, and many other innocent people are put in situations where they have to admit to a crime or face a far more devastating penalty if they don't. It's all true. How do we fix it?
@Greg Scottit can only be fixed by taking away the incentive to find people guilty. But as a cop , your performance is measured by the number of arrests and tickets you do monthly. So it is in your interest to find people guilty even if they were innocent. The prosecutor and judge dont care if you are guilty or not , they just have an interest in getting your money as well. The privatized jails have an interest in filling up their cells , for profit, so they give local police departments kickbacks to supply them with never ending streams of prisoners. If you take away the incentive to look at citizens as cash cows, you might be able to make a change. But obviously this is unrealistic, so you just have to understand that it is you who is solely responsible to protect your self from injustice. So if you people choose to live believing that you are innocent until proven guilty, that's okay. But if you do get accused and convicted for something you didn't do , you shouldn't complain. Because most likely your false beliefs of a fair system is what got you convicted in the first place.
@Joe Blow and that is the truth. Unfortunately people still believe that the "law is on our side" when in reality it's not. A cops job is to find you guilty, and your job is to defend yourself. Always always ask for a lawyer. They will probably tell you that you'll have to wait 3 days to get a free one. Wait it out. Always remember that you are dealing with professionals who do this for a living. It also helps if you are actually innocent lol
There is NO way to tell if someone's truly innocent...or guilty for that matter without definitive proof. You follow the evidence where it leads. Cops also have pretty good intuition some of the times and follow their guts but they're not perfect and mistakes are made. At the end of the day, it's not always possible to tell if someone's innocent or guilty especially in complicated matters where say someone mentally ill confesses and the evidence seems to line up with their confession. Of course, there are all kinds of little clues to help detectives. Body language, physical evidence, DNA (DNA is extremely important and never lies although sometimes lab technicians do). At the end of the day without some definitive proof such as DNA or video evidence you just go with the preponderance of evidence and leave the rest up to a jury. It's not perfect but more often than not it puts the bad people away and keeps the innocent from being wrongly accused. Unfortunately not all the time though.
BOOM! That's a search warrant for your house. BOOM! There's a search warrant for your house in Tweeds. BOOM! Your car is being seized and search. Effffff!
Det. Jim Smyth is a great detective when the alleged perpetrator is guilty, however when the alleged perpetrator is innocent... lying about the evidence can lead to an innocent person pleading guilty to lessen the damage caused to them via a corrupt court system. i.e.:
Same detective, different case: "Judge Langdon’s criticism of Det.-Sgt. Smyth is biting, even to the point of doubting the honesty of his testimony under oath. He writes that Det.-Sgt. Smyth lied to Mr. Armishaw about the evidence against him; engaged in a “relentless monologue” at a suspect who wished to remain silent; undermined Mr. Armishaw’s lawyer’s advice by suggesting the lawyer was ignorant of the overwhelming evidence against him; claimed to speak for the courts, and offered leniency in exchange for a confession; and placed a false choice before Mr. Armishaw — confess or be damned — in which innocence, though still technically presumed, was not an option."
Holy Hell, i swear I thought this guy was innocent until he admitted to where the body was. I have no idea how to tell if someone is lying or not I guess.
He was a nice detective. Lol. The interrogators here in America are crazy compared to that. I am surprised he confessed. The man shook his hand. Imagine having to play nice with criminals everyday just to get a ocnfession. That is tough
Extremely unsettling to a sane person with a conscience. The detective is so chill. You can tell he's used to this. A civilian would just cry, shake and claw at the door to get away from this freak.
The only channel to make me want to pay for their patreon, cause damn your ads for them are GOLD. I don't know ANY other channel that puts in effort to get people interested in their patreon.
lucky marbles - I was seriously just contemplating th same thing. I feel like for th first time I am actually learning from a YT video. I'd love for him to make more and keep going. So I'm def gonna have to at least give him a buck on payday ;)
I know i'm 4 months late, but honestly I wouldn't. Jim has pulled some really shady stuff, including purging his entire channel of its content, in order to get people to join his patreon. He only has a small handful of videos up now, but he used to have more than double that, including a very successful series where he would talk about more than one interrogation in each video.
I believe what happened is that he claimed that youtube was demonetizing all his content (probably true), so he literally deleted EVERY video from his channel. The only video that was left up at the time was the Chris Watts video. His videos must still be getting demonitized, so what was the point of deleting your entire channel's content that was already created and has been up for ages? That was around the time that he made his patreon and started advertising it hard on every video.
I love the guy's content, he clearly puts a lot of effort into them. I'll still be supporting it. But it made me very very wary of his patreon.
LunatheMoonDragon why would that be shady? He puts so much effort into these videos, and you think he should leave them up even though he’ll get nothing from then other then views? I’m guessing this is his main job, something he does to support himself. If he wants to have his content on patreon only, that is completely understandable. There is nothing shady about wanting to be paid for work.
Wait. Are you telling me the detective turned down lucrative deals and the glare of the spotlight because he has morals and integrity which doesn't come with a price tag?!? This might be the most shocking thing of all. This man is a rarity, this day and age.
Speedy Gunz I suspect there is a HUGE rush in facing a person you KNOW is a seriously dangerous criminal, and using wit, instinct, and experience to unravel them. I think he has definitely earned the respect in which he is held internationally, and I think he very much enjoys his job. Kind of like 3D chess without the board, and you don’t get that doing book signings and giving lectures. He does help to train other officers in his techniques, just doesn’t want to be the Dr. Oz of criminal intelligence...can’t say I blame him on that one.🖤🇨🇦
This is clearly a clever individual, who must at least suspect he will be questioned about the crimes and his whereabouts/activities at those points. So why has he not prepared back stories?
It’s not just polite questioning. It’s a series of psychological attacks designed to work on your biology , no matter the military rank or status. This detective can be affected by the same attacks if they were deployed versus him, no matter how knowledgeable he is.
@Evan this is so not true, interrogating the detective with these techniques wouldnt magically make him spill. Same way you cant trick a magician with tricks they know.
This case couldn't be any closer to home for me. I grew up in Tweed right down the road from his vacation home. I was somewhat familiar with the girls who were killed. Such a sad case. I am very impressed with the interrogation skills of our local officers!
ridespirals agreed, that looks like it took a fair bit of time and research to put together. Well worth it though, for some reason it is absolutely chilling to see the proximity. He really didn't travel far.
OMG. The gum chomping and the continuous head nodding and "yeah, yeah, yeah". I don't know how the detectives handle themselves. I wanted to slap him so badly through the computer. Also... Someone else may have already commented the same annoyance, but here are almost 20 THOUSAND comments. I didn't read all of them.
Notice how detective offers non-Tim's coffee and sugar. This is a secret Canadian technique to cause discomfort. Suspects brain is confused: "Where's my double-double?" In Canada, this means you really fucked up.
I'm in shock. I still can't believe he confessed like that. They had NOTHING!!!! Well the boot prints and truck prints that wouldn't even have stand in court! Geeeeez. I mean I'm glad he was cought of course but how stupid of him to do that.
@Nobody I know but in our minds we always have a certain picture of how a murderer should look like probably due to the books talking about monsters when we are young we grow up having a wrong idea of a murderer
@Nobody Ok I suppose you are broad-minded than I am .My point was from the misconception of what a monster most people think looks like from young age obviously anyone is capable of killing maybe the language I used is due to the fact English is not my mother tongue I couldn't explain better
The interesting question is: would he have even killed her if the cat didn't reveal his presence? He hadn't killed up until that point. Seems like his thing was doing danger wanks in women's houses while they were inside. If that cat hadn't discovered him would he have ever killed at all?
@Sally J he was a coward that only did that to women. Because if i would of caught him in my house i would of easily beat him to the ground. My cat would of been staring at me like please stop your going to catch a charge.
@Gunner4life I agree with your comment, the perception in our mind of a murderer is a fictional entity that is scary dangerous untrusting and a work of evil sort of like a Jeckyl and Hyde figure you can clearly see the difference of the 2. Normal everyday people don't come into this category that's why a murderer has to blend in with the rest of us and live a normal life and we don't see the actual monster they are hiding.
This Canadian police interrogator should have been given some kind of award for an incredibly superb job of deriving a confession from this monster for not just one, but two murders. He deserves at least a promotion. This method of interrogation should be taught in the police academies around the world.
As someone who works closely with Law Enforcement, you gotta know that the Detective had a good laugh sometime later the following week with the world renowned foot print expert John Norman.
As someone who works closely with law enforcement I can assure you no laughs were ever had about this case. Only satisfaction that a monster was removed from society.
@Dark Cloud yeah, soldiers do it. Drug addicts do it. Its a defense mechanism. Who wants to go through life solemn and miserable. Making jokes isn't there same as being disrespectful. Seems like a totally healthy thing to make a joke about.
@siberwolf33 u didnt get it ... Humor is a mental mechanism used to debrief stress.. And how would u say that each cop opperates the same under the same principles ?
@газировка Obscured No I get it. I'm the fucking king of compartmentalizing through dark humor but IMHO there is a certain point where everyone is taken back. This so called man is really sick in the head. After hearing the way he talked about stalking and killing his victims would leave little ability for any humor. In that case you just suck it up and remind yourself of your oath so as to avoid the natural inclination to exterminate an obvious monster. Domestic violence, robbery, assault;humor can be found in a variety of these situations but this...I just imagine a lot of quiet around this case.
I lost it when the Narrator said, "I thought the epidemic of public exhibitionist compulsive masturbation was bad.. This guy uses force plus the aforementioned," at 27:45
Watching this guy just calmly describe bashing a woman's head in with a flashlight with no emotion whatsoever on is face is one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen.
I was in shock. I still can't believe he confessed like that. They had NOTHING!!!! Well the boot prints and truck prints that wouldn't even have stand in court! Geeeeez. I mean I'm glad he was cought of course but how stupid of him to do that.
Scott Johnstone 😂😂😂 honestly, they were just summarizing their opinion and all these people going after them.... motives are way beyond a lot of what people openly admit, halfway because a lot of people don’t outright know what their own motive is.
Scott Johnstone I know but I don’t see the point in explaining the whole video in detail, if that’s something people want to do, then fine by me. I just don’t see the point.
Derpy Dark everyone gathers info differently! Some points that stuck out to them, might not have stuck out to you.... a lot of times people like to discuss their own point of view, and that’s okay! Just like how you are 😊 if you don’t like what they did, that’s okay!
@xRoseVoided A lot of the stuff he said though was not his opinion, his opinion only came in during the last sentence where again he proceeds to state the obvious, his message in no form added to the conversation, he just wanted to sound smart by quoting what the narrator spoke of in the video. The comment was just a lazy way for him to show his intellect and observation skills, which again he did not show as he got it all from the video.
@G58 You are bang on about everything. Williams would no doubt have gone on to become a prolific serial killer had he not been caught so early into his "career". And he most certainly would have eventually moved on to child victims after torturing adult women no longer satisfied him.....
Damn Canada, can we borrow this officer for like a week? He is a mental mind warrior ninja.. who is also polite AF. Reminds me of that quote- “Tact: the ability to tell someone to go to Hell, in such a way, that they look forward to the trip”.
This is without a doubt the scariest interrogation video I've ever seen and my favorite JCS video. I've seen plenty of other killers without empathy but something about this guy is so much more terrifying than any of the others.
I have done many criminal interrogations in a 30 year career as an LEO and this detective is at the top of his game. To this day I am amazed that guilty suspects will continue to talk to the police voluntarily even when they know they can get up and leave. Their ego says they are smarter than the cops but they rarely are. The smart ones don't talk at all.
Yeah, you would think the guy would lawyer up and wait it out. But then again he wasn't too smart. He hit so many houses in a radius around his house and he left tracks and on top of that, he was still wearing the same shoes.

@e thats what i was thinking, him just sitting there alone with no legal council telling him to shut up from dropping himself deeper in it
That’s funny, cause I’ve been a suspect of many a crime I committed, and I’m always amazed by the look of surprise on the investigators face when I walk out of the interrogation after they tell me I can.
@Fredrik thank you sir, I am officer James and we have been spying on you with suspicion of armed robbery the comment you made is enough to make us have a warrant and search your house.
Interesting you should say that. I've seen a few interviews/interrogations (online) of suspected paedophiles, they usually say "no comment" all the time. They're smart enough to know they'll eventually be caught. Thanks for commenting with your experience.
Well it is a cat and mouse game, isn't it? Where the cat (cop) has to outsmart the mouse (criminal) when literally the whole "game" could have ended with either words "i have nothing to say" or "lawyer". To use all those little tricks the cops use and to come out of it winning, by using their intillect alone with the chances stacked so against them is what I am guessing makes a good DT.
Well it's also just perfectly obvious he did it from his behavior. He's being accused of multiple murders and acts like he doesn't give a fuck. If I was him and I was innocent, I'd freak the fuck out and not just sit there calmly.
When the Police talk to you, you just have to put your fingers in your ears and say "LAWYER LAWYER, LAWYER" like a kid having a tantrum until you getb your lawyer. Remember they can and will lie to you, and you should expect them to, just keep asking for a lawyer and break the tension with tasteless doctor jokes

TheBruces56 my lawyer told me that same thing "the smart ones don't talk at all"
@†JΔY† If so, you'd address him by his name, and you wouldn't say "enough to make us have a warrant"
Good one though! Would be hilarious, if it was true. With all the data tracking done by authorities these days, I have no doubt that some LEO or LEO associate would have seen his comment, if his crime was serious enough.
@Caleb although you're right they dont always address you by name, I was detained a couple of years back by an officer because they were looking for a suspect with a weapon, they explained to me everything and told me they would just search me for the weapon and I was free to go so they did and never asked me to identify myself or anything. But maybe they knew who I was already I don't know
@Silver Wolf really you should throw people to jail for promoting somebody that was doing his job without knowing he was a psychopath. You have to remember that one of the attribute of a psychopath is to make everybody think you are a good person even know you are doing fucked up shit on your own time.
@Silver Wolf yikes. Thankfully you aren't a lawmaker or judge since you'd throw people in jail for hiring someone that eventually committed a horrible crime without ever knowing they would have done that.
It’s his disbelief that he could even be caught in his mind other human beings are but weak pawns and he is a mighty king it’s fascinating to see as the vail lifts from over his eyes and he can’t believe he’s not as smart as he actually thought
@Lena Pauline many malignant narcissists are very often sociopaths or psychopathic. If they are serial killers, they are psychopathic/sociopathic He's is a serial killer. He would have escalated if not caught.
Yes, and love how Investigator Smith responds "Why, Russell? Why can't you believe this is happening?" The silence on Williams' end is so eloquent - you can hear in it how his entire world is imploding.
Yeah. And he didn't deny anything at that point. That's not how an innocent person would have responded. He was thinking-- "It's hard to believe I got caught!"
@Cherry Muse Problem with that line of thought is there are plenty of doctors and surgeons that are sociopaths. They don't actively try and hurt people because they enjoy their status of their profession. Some of the best surgeons in the world are sociopaths. You don't want a neurosurgeon freaking out when removing a tumor in a brain of a child, hence where the sociopath plays their role.
If you could isolate those that have violent tendencies from those that conform to society then you may have something, but that is a dark road to follow indeed.
My God, Russ was doing so well in the air force & would have gone even further as a general if he had not commited these crimes. Everybody said he was gentle & well mannered. People respected him until he brought all this upon himself. Why Russ, why ? Hekh even I would have been a fan of his & would have supported him through his military journey. He should have become an arabian belly dancer & enjoyed life to the fullest. I hope he is happy considering he is receiving $60,000 behind bars.Glad he apologised to the family & felt ashamed. Now I just hope he can find God.
@Antun Šturlić Yeah he was an odd ball thats for sure. Nevermind, I hope the victims are in a better plc, I hope the families have received peace & I hope Russ is ok & everyone can move on frm this horror.
@Wanicki 357 he does not consciously think that nor is his narcissism of that level for one he consciously thought that then the moment he is called russel he would be enraged
if his narcissism was of such a a great level he would go to denial
Detective: "These are IDENTICAL...We need some honesty...It was your truck...your boots! This is getting out of control." 25:14-25:50-- Russell: S I L E N C E "*HMM...*" It's like the Colonel doesn't even wanna try to act innocent 😂
Something I noticed-when the cop asked the suspect if he watched detective shows, he brought up CSI. CSI is extremely unrealistic, and gives the impression that forensic science is much better than it actually is. Do you think the cop mentioned CSI on purpose to plant the idea in the suspect's mind that, "Yep. All that silly CSI bullshit? It's real, and we got it. We could figure out what you ate three days ago from your hair follicles if we wanted."
The detective in this video got me to confess for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. My father wasn't even born back then, but the detective made some really good points and I couldn't disagree with him.
Rapes, sexual assaults, breaking and entering, other sexual misconduct, has every opportunity to leave or lawyer up... and he practically turns himself in. Canadians are good people even when they're being horrible.
My blood pressure is spiked as a father of 2 young adult girls, but I want to commend this detective. I'm amazed at his composure in order to get the most evidence so these families can get some form of justice. I would've had the duct tape and vice grips out by now. Great job detective!
@Joe King The techniques the detective uses are the same ones discussed in Mindhunter, because they both originated from the same source of information on how to interrogate a serial murderer, so that you don't shut him down, and instead get him to open up. It involves empathy - making your subject feel at ease with you by making him feel like you understand why he did what he did, without judgment. That's why the detective here DOESN'T get confrontational and pull out the duct tape and vice grips. All the duct tape and vice grips will accomplish, is to make the killer lose interest in talking to you. Being screamed at is 1) no fun, and 2) it gets real boring, fast, if you've killed a few people. Being beaten and screamed at accomplishes absolutely nothing, and a good interrogator knows this from the get-go.
You can read more about how this method of interrogation got started in Detective Robert Keppel's book "Riverman: Ted Bundy and I Hunt for the Green Rover Killer". The book that inspired "Mindhunters", by John Douglas, is also excellent in that regard. Happy reading!
I wonder if the guy who printed the paper his footprints was genuinely complimented by being called "A World Renown Foot Analyst"

If the police asked me to come in for an interrogations ,the first question I would ask is why. I would not wait 15 min and have my rights read before I ask
He didn’t seem to be the sort to assert his authority. Many military officers are little more than bureaucrats, who, despite the authority their rank affords them, are nevertheless unaccustomed to exercising the sort of command over subordinates that, say, your typical infantry NCO does. Orders are dispatched from their ranks in a very impersonal/detached fashion.
GSTAL005 I wasn’t referring to the benefits of his rank, but the means by which he exercised his authority — you know, the interpersonal dimensions that are relevant to his psychological profile and the case in question. It’s one thing to become accustomed to people affording you praise, pageantry, and respect. That typically leads to arrogance. It does not, however, manifest or amplify authoritarian traits — which are usually ingrained in people’s personalities before they put on a uniform.
@altrogeruvah This is correct. It was not a "power move". He knew he was fucked at this point, and Russ is probably what his friends call him. It's just another sign that the detective had managed to make him trust him, as we also saw in the mirrored body language.
@The Brocialist Which is why if we ever again get embroiled in a major war (on the scale of the World Wars), many of the officers are going to be encouraged to resign, to be replaced by those very NCOs.
Mm no I'd say he was scared and wanted to ease the tension of someone calling him by his full name. I'd argue he's displaying too many emotions to be convaying a "psychopath".
I kind of feel he didnt want to hear Russell because his wife referred to him as that. If you notice when he said call me russ it was right after him considering his wife. Idk. That's my thought
@A Nice Day to Drink Tea agreed imo. I think it was an acceptance but more so a example of how Smith had manipulated him and gained his trust to a point of perceived rapport.
"Wanna know anything in particular?" That was creepy... it's like when a normal person gives up trying to keep a secret and can't be bothered anymore, except this is a 'person' who is also a detached murderer.
Yeah man I literally paused the video and took a 10 minute break. Maybe it’s just projecting my own disgust on the interrogator, but I could have sworn he “broke character” and was taken aback by that question as well (shown in how he asked the question directly after Russel’s creepy question). What a sick fuck
Yeah. That moment he showed in true colors the psycopath inside him for the frist time to another person that not his victims. He was hoping to do this more times before being caught but was eager to describe everything and confess. Since the beginning he nodded yes to the investigator, because his mind was far away and couldnt think of denying but processing that was it, the time had come to confess.
Everyone saying detached but I see a lot of emotion in him. He’s clearly ashamed of his actions. He’s looking down and sounds and knows he did something wrong. He probably just thinks that he’s already caught and at least has honor in him to “do the right thing”.
i hate how calm and collected he sounds while describing in brutal detail how he creeped around a woman’s basements before being caught and subduing her. No remorse even slightly
Williams' Achilles heel was his wife. Once the interrogator realized that, it was a greased downhill slope for Williams. When he was at Camp Mirage, Williams was taught techniques to aid him in keeping secrets under enemy interrogation. But those techniques did not prepare Williams for a scenario that included his wife.
Nonmi Hiseddeo Nice catch! I was suspecting that, too. The "father of criminal profiling," former FBI special agent John Douglass, uses a term in one of his books that has always stuck with me: "everyone has a rock." He was referring to a case when a man who had bludgeoned a child to death with a rock was refusing to engage with the interrogation, and managed to remain completely emotionally detached. Douglass brought the rock out of evidence and slammed it down on the table in front of the guy...who then instantly just cracked. Douglass says that "everyone has a rock," in the sense that EVERYONE— even the most hardened, unfeeling monsters— will all almost inevitably have SOMETHING (or someONE) that functions as an emotional "button" that, when leaned on, will crack them wide open.
"Disappointed" is not the response I was expecting when he asked him why... It's like he had urges to rape women basically that he felt he couldn't control and killing them was just a way of covering it up. He seems so void of any emotion though. As he can logically understand what he's done is wrong but doesn't have the corresponding emotion to accompany that fact. Very disturbing but absolutely fascinating.
man how do people do this without being clinically insane. It doesnt make sense. The way he just described killing those ladies is bone chilling. Like it was just a casual walk in the park
It cracks me up that Jim Smith said the guy that printed out the footwear impressions is a world-renowned footprint analyst lmfaooo. Something is hilarious about that.
@Matthew Vaughan lmfao. it's funny because he called the guy a world-renowned footprint analyst when all he did was print it out. that's like calling a guy who brought your lunch to the office a world-renowned chef. I wasn't mocking the concept of footprint analysis.
@Jonathan Wilson bruh that's exactly what I envision, like Jim Smith walks by his office and says "how's the world's best footprint analyst doing today?" on a daily basis lol
S P A C Y I rewatched this the other day and you’re right. I didn’t notice the part where JCS points out that the analyst wasn’t in the building and just printed it out. I was wondering what the hell you were all talking about but your comment makes sense now. I thought you’d all just assumed that the analyst did nothing but print it off. My bad!
This dude was at the time a colonel in the Canadian army forces??? And he just confessed on the basis of some shoe tracks? Imagine this guy been captured by enemy during an armed conflict in a war zone!!! He would just throw up all secrets!
Jim used Andrea Yates as an example of the insanity defense, because she was clearly insane. You may need to subscribe to Patreon to see it, but it’s so worth it!
Gerrylynn Mako Lots of people watch or study these types of videos. There’s an entire true crime community on YT, so I assume all he means is that he views a lot of these, and has seen both extremely impressive and extremely lazy detectives/interviewers.
Rather easy guy to interrogate, he simply broke when he murdered his last victim, there’s much more the colonel could’ve done to sway the ordeal if he wasn’t dealing with a fulfilling odyssey of disappointment.
If I was a woman, and he came into my house, we wouldn’t walk out . On god. Ladies, always fight when a intruder comes in , never comply with them! They are lying to you ! More than likely if you see their face or not , they’ll hurt you. Everyone should be aware of friends and family too! Could be living or relatives with a creep !!!
You know i think i am actually to smart too be a murderer, pretty sure they would need some actual convincing evidence to get me saying anything and even then just "No lawyer no talking"
Honestly it's actually a good indicator of nervous behavior. He was offered the coffee, and focusing so hard on appearing normal he probably didn't want to turn it down or not drink it, and he was too nervous to ask for a bin for the gum, so he just did both lol. Either that or is he is a psychopath
@Don't want to use your Google+ Name? Ok, we'll ask you again later I always thought there was something wrong with people who like mint... you savage! :D
I was thinking the same thing..the thing is i am sure he did not want to spit it in the trash can for them to collect dna from it? little did he know...
Sometimes I'll be chewing gum then I'll accidentally take a drink of water and I'll immediately feel like I just purposly put a piece of clay in my mouth.
@stropheum pretty sure it's already been determined that he's a total psychopath gum n coffee or not. He was chewing that gum like it was life support..I knew his ass was guilty watching the crossed arms and chewing the gum like mad. Never once did he even try to deny..
Don't want to use your Google+ Name? Ok, we'll ask you again later ha ha gross minty coffee ☕️ I guess it’s good if you haven’t brushed your teeth in the morning 🤷♀️
stropheum hmmmmmmmmm that’s a very good theory. Makes a lot of sense. Just wants to seem normal and folksy and agreeable but .......... gum will get super meaty & soft if coffee is hot = weird/unpleasant
In the US if you're married you cannot be forced to testify against your spouse in court. She may know things and doesn't want to be put on the stand (unless the laws are different in Canada).
this one is so disturbing because he explains it all in graphic detail but doesn’t give a single reason why? he says he doesn’t have any bad feelings about women. idk it’s just realising there are people who are pure sexual sadists and the fear and pain of their victims is either irrelevant or enhances the experience... makes me scared to be in the world.
Make your own website with these videos and work on moving on to big platforms. This literally sticks people to the TV like glue. Awesome content brotha. Thank you !!!
As much of a scumbag this man is, the fact that he realized he was caught and came forward with what happened is a godsend to her family. Most people in his situation continue to deny they had any involvement.
God love this investigator. I'm an Ontario resident, and this could have gone another way. You sir, are a hero. Under different circumstances, he could've asked for a lawyer. You got this sick bastard. Cheers my friend. You got him.
This videos amazing man thank you, I know the majority of the content is publicly available but your curation of footage and commentary including the notes on screen make it so much more compelling. Will have a look at your patreon now, game changing video. Thanks again.
how disgusting... he's ENJOYING finally telling someone

someone mentioned that perhaps he was glad to finally be getting it off his chest. that is a good point or rather would be for the killers that felt relieved, but in this case, he seems more excited than relieved.
Why does nobody ever call a lawyer. He’s guilty and he still woulda been found out but I don’t get it. Especially if you’ve got means and are of status.
Dude, are you going to make any more video? I have watched all your videos and rewatched them. We need something new! If its a matter of money tell us and I will donate it.
A colonel in the army and he broke in just an hour. Wicked. Not excusing a damn thing this guy did, but case study in why you never talk. Seemed like he may have wanted to be caught though.
He explains how he cares for & nurtured the lady during and after her seizures and even had a nap to help her recover and shit.. Only to kill her on the way out the house.. wow
Reminds me of when the BTK killer during his confession mentioned he put a pillow under one of his victim’s heads to ‘make him more comfortable’ before suffocating him to death. People who aren’t able to feel empathy don’t know how weird they sound when trying to level with their audience.
He's a true psychopath. He knows he has to kill her, but taking care of her up until that point does not affect him at all. They're completely unrelated in his mind. Kind of reminds me of Todd in Breaking Bad. He'll be perfectly cordial to everyone but still commit terrible acts because they 'have to be done'.
Colonol Weirdo: call me Russ Jim Smyth: Okay, hair island Colonol Weirdo: Can I have my murder boots back? My wife is expecting me for dinner. It's meatloaf night.
is it possible that he can get a lawyer when the footprint confrontation came to place? he would most likely get out of this situation since they only have footprint and tire prints.
I can’t get over how he talks about stalking, breaking into property, kidnapping, binding women, sexual abuse, rape and murder. Very calmly, emotionless, Monotone and so matter of fact that it’s Scary shit... He could have been describing a picnic with his wife Or a brutal kidnapping, rape and murder. They would sound the same!!!
I feel like the pressure of the entire situation led to some sort of relief that he could just let it all out. The detective pretty much just sat there and listened, and even coddled him up to get more out of him. Great police work.
@Bracket Racing Haha! YouTube and social media in general are places where people share knowledge. I think that's a good thing, and if one disagrees, one can easily fact check and refute. Reading the comments can even be more enlightening than the video. So long as the information shared is shared with the intent to inform rather than to condescend, I don't have a problem with giving or taking criticism. In this case, it's more interesting than a hundred people typing "same."
when he says “wanna know anything in particular?” that’s how you know he’s a sadist. he’s wants to relive the kill by explaining what happened and it’s sick
sahab mir That's what my teenager does when they know they're caught, but are giving one last hail Mary effort to be a cagey smartass. The difference is, my kid is reliving the feeling of getting one over on me by weaseling out of doing the dishes, or leaving wet towels on the floor and not getting caught right away.
Sarah If nothing else, seeing comments like D C's make me even more grateful that I have a highly intelligent kid who's grown up knowing that literally countless people love and care deeply about them. I mean, sure, my kid might drive me nuts in the dishes and laundry department...but at least they aren't broadcasting a truly tragic lack of self-confidence (apparently caused by not feeling loved or cared about) to random strangers, right? 😉
wowskaterchick I'm no expert, but I'm guessing their problem is that they feel "dumb," and are suffering with severe ego dysfunction as a result of feeling that "nobody gives a fuck about" them. It's really sad, and makes me realize just how vital it is for every child to feel loved and valued...not merely by their parents and immediate families, but by their communities. I sincerely hope that the above commenter can find more constructive and positive ways to interact with the world. These are incredibly difficult times for most people, and so while it's understandable on one level that someone would react by acting out negatively, it's also important to do whatever one can to foster a sense of hope and positivity...even amongst strangers.
OMG Detective: Russel, what are we going to do? Russel: Um... Well... I guess instead of taking legal advice. Imma tell all. Put me on Reddit for an AMA!!
@M Williams yeah and Some lucky women out there don't even realise they were saved and by whom. Goes to show if you have some kind of suspicion about a case you should report it no matter how small.
@Stu Pidazzo I am from Canada and this dominated the news for so long. A huge embarrassment to our country and military. The man in the suit they show him next to in one photo was our last govt's minister of defense.
@M Williams embarrassment is an understatement but more like shame of the country. I heard your country even went as far as to destroy every medal or award that bared his name. Never ceases to fascinate me how someone in such a high rank of authority lived such a dark and twisted second life.
@Stu Pidazzo Yes, the military did that, stripped away everything, I dont even think he is in a military prison.
For an officer to do what he did is a sick sin of a stain to the officer corps, the military, and humanity. Officer commission's are given by the Queen of England and to be in charge of the largest military base in Canada is a huge honour and responsibility. To even be considered for the role is huge and his top secret clearance makes the military look so foolish , as they do background checks with our intelligence agency and the usual stuff.
I know he tried to kill himself quickly in prison with stuffing toilet paper rolls down his throat.
@M Williams yes! Not only in the same pose, but the EXACT same pose. As if it all were the same photo with different lingerie photoshopped on. Geez, what do you think was the.point in those? Sexual gratification? I don't even see how that could be possible..
@Stu Pidazzo I have no idea, but the order of it is impressive in a sick way.
His friend's stated he was never lucky or had many gfs except one and then years later all of a sudden he is getting married. I feel his lack of success with women is a large factor in what happened.
@M Williams absolutely. I mean I'm sure his wife is a lovely woman but she wasn't quite the looker....my initial thought upon seeing them pictured together was that she was his mother LOL
definitely but i also think rafferty was damn near impossible to get through to you can tell by the way he pities himself so much throughout the interview
Wow! I got here completely unintentionally, youtube suggests completely random things as I have interests turned off. Very impressed with the style of presentation here, your commentary is limited but concise, succint, appreciated when it comes but importantly leaves enough time and thinking space for viewers to absorb the extroadinary story and make their own opinions. I also very much appreciate that there is no music, no sound effects, so uncessary graphics and the important interview video is included in as much length, unabridged, as practical.This is the total opposite approach to every american crime documentary!
The writing on this channel is incredible. Combine that with the narrator's skill and this is one of the best channels I've ever watched in my entire life.
I'm loving the "John Norman: world-renowned expert" tactic! Can't wait to use it on my kids, i.e., "Someone didn't flush the toilet. Now, you're all denying it, but luckily I just met a new neighbor, John Norman, who happens to be a world-renowned expert when it comes to lifting DNA from toilet seats. I'd hate to have to bother him about something so minor, so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and let you have one more chance to tell the truth. After that, it's going to be beyond my control to help you. This is your chance to have some control here, while you still have some credibility, but your ability to give an explanation anyone will believe is rapidly expiring. I could be wrong, but I don't think you're the type of person who gets off on leaving unflushed excrement for others to find. This is your chance to decide whether you'll be known from now on as a serial toilet bandit. It's in your hands now...so can we talk?"
Johnny Allen Shane Prater I feel awful for twisting such a horrific story into anything even vaguely amusing, and feel like I should make clear that I mean no disrespect to the victims or their families...but dammit, that cop's tactics were just so bloody brilliant!
It's almost like months of lockdown combined with several immediate family members nearly dying has made me a little punchy, or something?
Neill Parry Thank you! I just know that even though my family and I often deal with horrific tragedy by resorting to humor, not everyone does. Like, we were told a few weeks ago that my dad was dying, and when he miraculously pulled through, my mother’s response was to tell him, “So does this mean I should get all your clothes back out of the garbage? And you probably want me to tell that hot 26yo guy I just met that I’m not going to be moving on yet, either...”
well-played! don't feel bad about gallows humor. It's one of those "it's ok because it's funny" type of jokes. Though this comment does make me feel better about not having children. Phew
Ray Hage Oh wow, I just laughed out loud SO hard at your comment! When I just reread it, even I found myself shaking my head in stupefied wonder at just how insane parenting can get...and I’m living it every day! I’ve got a longtime friend who never wanted or had kids, and it reminded me of how they always say they’re MUCH happier hearing their various friend’s funny and/or crazy stories of parenting, without ever having to worry that they’ll personally experience any of it: “Your kid seriously said that!? That is hysterically funny. But because it happened to you. It’s funny because it happened to you, not me.”
Oh! And also— thanks for saying my comment was funny! Again, as a parent, my jokes usually get an eye roll and deep sigh, at best. 😁
Ray Hage Your comment also reminded me of how I’ve always thought that parenting is kind of comparable to having some particularly unusual kink or fetish: it’s almost indescribably rewarding, fulfilling and pleasurable if you went into it consensually...but it’s almost certainly an absolute horrorshow if you were forced to enter into it involuntarily. For example, if you go into a given situation fully expecting to be raising a teenager, or, say, having someone pee on you while you’re wearing a bunny suit...then all the hardship and humiliation will feel SO worth it. But if not? You're in for a world of 🤮 Heh.
@Manecki Neckbeard i have a lot of friends who are parents and every time i hear one of their stories, i feel better about my life lol. but you describe the "horror show" perfectly. its voluntary in your case, but frankly, i think i would rather do time at a white collar jail
Ray Hage Sir, congratulations on the second comment in a row to make me literally LOL! And yeah, I certainly do hear you— a family member of mine actually did a stint in one of those so-called "country club" white collar prisons. And, while it most definitely was NOT a relaxing, pampered country club experience, my impression is that he didn't have to deal with anywhere near the levels of consistently high-decibel daily chaos and stress that parenting a teenager entails. And of course, I've recently discovered that it's all magnified exponentially during covid lockdowns! Who knew!? I wouldn't have thought it could get any crazier, until I suddenly lost those precious 7 hours a day of peace! If nothing else, this experience has made me realize that teaching seems very much akin to parenting: a stressful, if tremendously rewarding and fulfilling career if you choose it*...but a relentless onslaught of maddening, confusing, exhausting, head-meet-brick-wall frustration if you're unwilling and/or unprepared.
* Although, as an obnoxiously optimistic person, I can say that I've suddenly gained new insight into why several of my former teachers were so remarkably rotten at their jobs: to a one, these teachers were the last, aging vestiges of a generation in which unmarried women were essentially involuntarily shunted into careers as either nurses, secretaries...or teachers. It didn't matter if the reason they were unmarried in the first place was due to a hatred of kids and nurturing in general, they simply didn't have a choice (although, obviously, there were rare exceptions) when it came to careers. One teacher in particular of mine so clearly detested children, and was counting the seconds to retirement...but I realize now that as a "spinster," she likely never had any other options. It's been fascinating to witness the difference between my own and my parents' teachers with those of my kids. My parents had innumerable grumpy, mean, bullying teachers, and there were still a few hanging on by the time I came along...but every single one of my kids' teachers has clearly just loved teaching and children/young people in general.
Ray Hage Ugh. Sorry. The endless days of sheltering at home have left me with waaaay too much time on my hands, as evidenced by my multiple logorrheic TLDR comments & replies. I guess now would be the time to finally get started in earnest on that novel? Or something? 🤷🏻♂️🙄
@Manecki Neckbeard haha don't worry. frankly, i think you don't have enough children as it appears you have too much time on your hands to write such a long and thoughtful comment. I've never been to any prison so I don't have much in the way of that experience but from what I understand it would be more pleasurable than spending 24 hours with them in this coronavirus lockdown which doesn't really have an end in sight. You could just use birth control in the future to avoid more of these problems and write a good novel as that would actually increase your wealth and prestige
@absolute in doubt Kiddo, is that you? Seriously. This is you, right? Please stop trolling mommy on YouTube and flush the toilet. It takes like 2 seconds.
Pearl Finney Hahaha, right? I mean, I could do that...if I wanted my kids to grow up and be "That Guy" when it comes to work, roommates, college dorms, etc. We all have experience with That Guy: the one who doesn't flush the toilet at work or at school, or who leaves it for their roomates/housemates or fellow dorm dwellers to flush...and who, when confronted, acts like it's no big deal for another adult to have to flush their poop. "If it bothers you, then you flush it. It takes 2 seconds. Why are you making such a big deal about this?"
This is the same reason I try to teach my kids to wipe toothpaste & hair out of the sink, to throw trash in the bin, etc. Because if I just do it for them, that teaches them that it's really not a big deal. And once they get into the real world as adults, I do NOT want them to be That Guy.
Sam J Okay. No screen time for an hour. Don't even start arguing or it'll be 2 hours. This is for your own good. And next time, please remember to do it. I even put up that sign in the bathroom to remind you! I promise, if you do it every time it'll become muscle memory and you won't even HAVE to remember, because your body will automatically do it for you. Just like putting on your seatbelt. Meatloaf, gravy, roasted potatoes & green beans for dinner. I didn't make mashed potatoes because I know you hate them. ❤️ mommy
Farewell JCS, you will be missed sorely. How can we get all the videos that are unlisted so I can download them to watch in the future? I want the unedited version of the Case of Andy S or w/e it's called, love that one so much. And the Jussie Smollett episode is amazing.
@e.k. Yesssss! I remember it didn't get very many views probably because of YT's BS Algorithm suppressing it, but one of my favorite videos he's done. He also had to edit out audio in the part with the shootout AFTER he uploaded the video, which was another YT thing I'm sure.
Man I miss 2006-2012 Youtube, this platform has become just another google censored PoS.
@paul fogarty It'll be easier just to do it in a way you wouldn't and in clothes that aren't yours. Keep the rest of your life apart from this one thing you do. Then you need to tell yourself a story about what you did instead. Repeat it and repeat it.
Brandon Becker Not exactly. I'm merely suffering from an affliction which in the current company appears a bit rare. It's called "empathy" and makes this subject no joking matter at all. I could try to explain what warpes your view on this, but you wouldn't understand. You either get it or you don't. If you suspect I'm thinking that your emotinal maturity is childish or absent, though, you're not too far of.
@Hallands Door mat, door stop. Doesn't matter. His point stands and you have yet to address it because it's more convenient to jump on an irrelevant error than engaging in the dialog and making a case for yourself. Cheer up, cup cake. You're just making a fool of yourself all round. Use that time you waste responding for something that gets you in a better place in life.
@GrodRumpa Bruh some jokes are just not ok, even if they are funny. Racist jokes can be funny asf if the right stand up comedian can tell it without offending anyone. Usually that is not the case though
Philip Markoff had his victims blood visible on his shoe during his interrogation. However, he was brought in for questioning and don’t know it was going to happen ahead of time like Williams.
I got here through the subreddit post with a playlist of all JCS videos. Thanks for that, but any guess as to why this video is unlisted? I understand it with for example the video that features "This is America" but for this I can't see a reason that it has to be unlisted.
Some of my family lives in Ottawa 😍🙌🏼 I’d love to move there!. Pretty much given up on the states😩🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️. All this interrogation needs? A decent barber to shave that mess off!😂
It's a shame that a few bad cops/detectives ruin the credit & acknowledgement for detectives like this who rightfully deserve praise for the amazing job that they do. It can't be easy to constantly see the worst humanity has to offer & still continue to do your job that skillfully without any loss of personal sanity or self control. They truly deserve a higher amt of respect & admiration from the public they protect & serve.
Mash Bhogaita I just don’t understand how a colonel could be so stupid. He wore the same boots to the interrogation. He parked his SUV with its distinct tires in plain view of the road. How arrogant was this guy? Crazy.
At 4:30, after he has been told of the rape and murder, does his lower jaw clench slightly? Unfortunately it is a bit to pixelated for mr to see clearly, but I swear something in that region changes at that timestamp
Dude... I just watched the whole Lazarus interrogation and am just now starting the Williams one... This is some straight up rabbit hole shit. Very interesting, man. Cool stuff!
I feel like if a person during an interrogation is quite, is guilty. If I was someone who was accused of something I didn’t do I would talk and raise my voice just to prove them wrong! I would do anything in my power to get someone to believe me. This person just sits there and doesn’t say much...maybe it’s just me!
Detective brings out some photos of the guy's shoes after just photographing them minutes earlier and says "Hey look we have a match" ! Then he says he has his tire prints too although there are like about 100,000 other car tire prints in that province with the same prints !
Then the detective literally bluffs with the "world renowned expert norman harris ..." or somebody who just took the boot photos and says "This is a big time investigation and the case managers will spare no expense to conduct all the required functions even about $10,000,000 !!! Then Colonel wind bag just confesses to everything when he coulda just said "Hey this sounds like some serious BS I need to see my lawyer, bye" ! This guy was seriously pampered or something and in Canada at the time he did all this horrible abominable acts Prostitution in Canada was NOT unlawful !!! He could have just paid a really hot escort $100 measly bucks on his salary and had a great time at a no tell hotel and then went to work like a normal guy and everyone would be happy !!! What a total psychotard!!!
Innocent people would generally stay, and offer a rational explanation, and not scream for a lawyer. He was mimicking conciously or subconciously what an innocent person would do in that situation. Most people will sit there and tell the truth because the thought of being wrongly convicted for an innocent person is unthinkable.
@Venturi Life not true, these fuckers will stitch you up by leading you to say something incriminating regardless of your innocence. This guy is an exception, but lawyer up, lawyer up, lawyer up.
@Kemo "learn your rights.... you have the right to remain silent" I was wondering why or if *Jim not swim" edited out the evidence of the merandization.
This is an example of the most stealthy and skillful interrogations I’ve ever seen. The dude had every expectation that he’d be sitting on his porch and drinking a beer within hours of coming in and then.....
Interrogators can be so good they get innocent people to confess to stuff they didn't do. Imagine how much easier that is with guilt added into the equation.
Yea I just dont get it. Everyone, but especially if you commit crimes, even petty ones, should have a hard line personal policy that unless you ARE the victim or reporting the crime (my kid missing, etc) you dont go into the station without being under arrest, and you dont answer questions without first talking to a lawyer (and following her advice which will be to shut up)
@senseo If he never talked and had a decent defence lawyer, a Jury may very well not be convinced beyond reasonable doubt. Except the one crime scene he was positively linked to by DNA he could only be charged with forced confinement so yeah, this is all on his confession.
And because he led them to the victim's body he couldn't recant his confession, as how could he know where the victim's body was and the cause of death?
@Rick writes I guess it is connected to the "I am more intelligent than the cops" part. The other issue it that they are afraid that they going to be suspicious if they call for a lawyer which is of course nothing, compared to the confession, but when they get to that point it is already too late.

@ Mr.Treblaine: Interviewers are magicians? Either that or they knew how to "ring his chimes". Seems Kaiser Swaghelm is thankful to have you here to tell us these things in record time.
senseo he wasn’t sorry about it, he explained the entire process with the same emotion. he seemed annoyed and bored at first, and while explaining what he did to the women it seems as though he wanted to live through it. just because someone confesses quickly doesn’t mean they are sorry
@Walberto Iii this doesn't always mean they are good....it can mean the person is exhausted. after so many hours of questioning you will say anything to get out of that room
@Sling Blade yeah... especially when the detectives are convinced the suspect did it without real evidence. In this case I wonder if he thought he wouldn't get in trouble. It isn't unheard of for a well decorated person like himself to "get away" with it. But I mean...what he did is so sick. he's gotta be delusional
@Violet Joy I would argue the suspect was "unskilled" at being set-up. I didn't buy the shoe ID "world renown expert" line of questioning especially the way he soon thereafter kept talking about how the evidence keeps getting worse and worse. It sounded contrived to me, but of course I had the bird's eye view. I could certainly be wrong.
It took over 4 hours! They enetered the interogation room at 3:03 pm and he finally confesses to know Jessicas whereabouts at 7:42 pm. I saw it on another more lengthy video where the date is above the clock down in the right hand corner.
Treblaine if you aren’t as smooth brained as the other replies here you understand this channel is SHOWING how that is made to happen by interrogation techniques
I don't understand how ANYONE would participate in this without an attorney present. I've wondered the same thing about the to catch a predator tapes. Just don't say anything and when arrested remain silent until you're attorney is present.
it's all about making the suspect think they have enough information to convict him even without a confession. They want the suspect to think the fight is already lost.
@My Name Is Amber Too I had this feeling too, that deep inside he wanted to be caught. Not because he confessed fast, but because of some of his reactions during the interview. Also, the way he commited the crimes shows that he didnt even care about NOT leaving proofs (dna, car used, footprints) at the crimes scene. This man seems to be fighting against himself inside, like if a part of him didnt accept how bad is to do what he did.
rocketdock11 I never understood these idiots thinking they look suspicious by lawyering up. My dude they cops have you in a damn interagation you are suspected right now.
That phrasing "any reason you'd want a lawyer?" - the most cornering way to ask him to revoke his right to one. If he says he wants one in that instant he's slumped into the category of "only guilty people get lawyers". Brilliant wording
@CapnWack "part of the problem" very vague. Nice slogan though.
My comment was about what Russel was thinking about, the societal stereotypes and his image and reputation. He no doubt was thinking this in contrast to the fact he was ACTUALLY guilty.
At no point was a lawyer withed from him. Whether he had a lawyer or not. He made a decision to not take one (just like he made a decision to kill and rape people) and he is living with that consequence. If he had a lawyer, I'd hope he'd still be found guilty, don't you? 👍
You should always get a lawyer, The police are doing their job- let the lawyers do their job. You can be innocent, and say something that could be twisted; it's not the police fault that they may have misconstrued your words.. but! it's your fault for giving up your right to council/lawyer. The average person doesn't know anything about the law, so it's best to seek a lawyer regardless.. I do understand the OP's point, but still get a lawyer if you're ever in that position, so you can clarify things in a legal professional matter.

Daniel _2019-11-26 13:03:59 (edited 2019-11-26 13:04:29 )
There's so many details you missed, like how he keeps moving his chair closer and closer to Russ, slowly closing him in a corner. He even lays his arms in a cross defensively in the end
'Many' indicates plural. So it would be: 'There are so many details...' (slowly closing him inTO a corner) ... and not 'There is so may details' ... but you probably also knew that already, right? Also, please end your sentences with a period, hmkay?
@Siiri Cressey just my first basic law class... We did a module about laws surrounding police interrogation and interviews as well as what was admissible in court and what is not...
@Kloko Loko you can never have too many seemingly minor details. It paints the picture of what his mindset was during the crimes, and makes it easier to prove premeditation versus simple crime of passion or whatever.
As a Psychology Major, I find the narrative fascinating as the interrogation plays out.
I am wondering, however, if a very determined detective armed with a blow torch and small hacksaw would have obtained a confession far more quickly than this type of humane interrogation which this psychopath did not deserve.
@Karriepink thinks Before typing! BackUp I agree that he probably committed crimes in the other places where he was stationed. The marriage that existed only on weekends was definitely strange.
Ugh the way he said “I raped her” made me soooo uncomfortable, like idk if it’s just the word or the way he said it but it just made me want to shrivel into a ball
It's weird that someone would believe shoe prints are as distinguishable as fingerprints... Like, basically every fingerprint is unique unless we're talking about certain twins maybe... Meanwhile every shoe you get is made like every other shoe of its kind unless there's a mess up at the factory or it is just really torn and worn down or something...
the cat fixating on the killer who's hiding in a dark corner down the basement and the victim looking for and finding the cat and so the killer... some scary shit straight outta horror slasher movie. truth more terrifiying than fiction. ffs.
This was so fascinating. That police officer is so good and I would have never picked up any of his skill had you not explained it. I would love to know more about Russell's psyche. Thank you, Jim!
not all candians are the same person, okay? it was in a different province, okay? just because the interrogator is talking to himself for an hour and offering coffee doesnt make him the same interrogator, okay?
edit: if you’re slow the joke is that both canadian interrogators keep saying okay?
In the midst of JCS getting shadow banned on YouTube, how is it that I was able to find and watch this video, but when I go to the channel this video has never been present?I’m so confused. This is somehow the first time I’m seeing this.
@Miranda Rights i think so? hell, i can buy cigarettes and whiskey with paypal these days and patreons not a small company so im sure it does. just go to the site and check
@Iain do it, so worth it. theres probably only a day or two of additional content atm (depending on your lifestyle lol) but its definitely worth the buck, and if they never upload again? well ive spent more on bottled water so who gives a turd?
Williams, " I cant believe this is happening". I bet he was thinking 'others dont get caught for years and I get caught after 4 months. its not fair'. lol.
What's kind of crazy is the investigator almost comes across is a car salesman, trying to get someone a good deal. He's that calm and Casual about it, which as we can see is a brilliant technique
I really think one of the most chilling things here, is the first initial encounter between him and the two women - waking up to a monster standing over you, and being in your basement and confronted by a monster hiding in the shadows with some kind of face mask on. It really is the stuff of nightmares. Makes my skin crawl.
It's behind EVERY corner, my friend! EVERY corner. People are out there that wish you harm, every day. They see you, but you do not see them seeing you. They are everywhere! I mean EVERYWHERE... So, don't go thinking that you do not know where evil lurks, because, now you do. Someone is most-likely watching you right now, wondering if you are what they want in a victim. Better hope that you're not, otherwise, it's duct tape city for you too.
Yes you do. Its literally walking amongst you. Terrifying. I think of it all the time. I see someone buying a soda and wonder what dark secrets they hold. You know some fucked up stuff goes on without being caught
would it work to be more assertive and act like you are kind of his superior? Military men are used to follow order when ordered too. ordered to tell the truth in a more strict way might of work or am I wrong?
Kudos to the brilliant investigator here-- this video should be used as training material for those in law enforcement and psychology, if it's not already.
It's sad how these women were given the hope of survival after the ordeal then get their heads caved in especially with the lady who was still alive after getting her head cracked open.
I remember how shocked everyone was around here when this happened. Good thing for him that everyone in Canada is a victim , not a criminal. People like this deserve much more than our "Justice" system will allow for.
i was wondering do you have any breakdown of interrogations against an innocent man, it would be cool to see the tactics and responses from such an interrogation
I know he has one part of a video where he goes over one. Dude got picked up after a robbery I think but it wasn't him, he just somewhat matched the description. I believe it was one of the later "most compelling police interrogations" videos.
There was one example in one of Jim's compilations of interrogations where a dude was accused of a crime and he knew damn well he was innocent. His responses to the questions were interestng and it was very obvious he was innocent
I joined the Army at 17rs old- but even at that age I found many of the officers and NCOs didn't have the brains to fall to the ground without orders. First they try and break you, then mould you into a mindless killing machine. I always found it odd that a soldier can start as a private, then acting corporal, then full corporal, then sergeant, then colour sergeant/staff sergeant, then sergeant major second class, then sergeant major first class, and by that time, he can go to captain due to his age after all of that ladder climbing. But the highest you can reach by going through the ranks is lieutenant colonel. Yet some wet behind the ears second lieutenant can go all the way to field marshal. The army is a class system, the main reason I left is because every time I passed the officer's mess, they'd be eating from a silver service that soldiers had to polish every day, with butlers catering to their every need. They look for poorest, least educated and then turn their backs on them willing to sacrifice people who've put their lives at risk fighting stupid wars.
@Penultimate Hortator Yes indeed- wouldn't have joined had I been more mature. This was at a time when the corporals did kick the shit out of you for any reason they could think of. It was at Basingbourne Baracks- where they filmed a lot of Full Metal Jacket.
@B. Santos Yes, it's all about the Sandhurst West Point etc, education. But no-one can tell me that that education trumps thirty years of actually doing the job. No Platoon ever praises their lieutenant as they're seen as cosseted boys- it's always the sergeants the soldiers look to for leadership.
I wish I could understand what makes these guys tick. Like, I think it's a given that everyone has and/or has had dark fantasies, but why do some people fixate on them, and become so obsessed with them, that they walk it into reality? What is the interplay between sex and violence? And what is the role of testosterone in attenuating it?
I will not play poker with that guy. The Colonel had a full house and the detective had five unrelated number cards and still the detective took home the pot.
It's crazy hearing this confession. I hear about things like this all the time in the news and movies, but to actually hear this detailed confession from a perp and to mentally visualize this story is... shocking... Idk how to explain it.
It’s to establish trust to continue to get more details of the crimes, so he could be charged and victims and families could receive justice 🤷♀️ so I’m glad he did shake his hand honestly
perhaps youre giving waaaay too much credit to military administration? Ive seen a loan officer at a rural bank branch bust a high ranking naval officer for fraud in the first week after completing the loan training. took them 10 minutes in the interview, wasnt even a mathmatical error that fucked the guy, he was just weak
@HMQ exactly. theyre as susceptible to it as anyone else, doesnt take much to psychologically manipulate someone under friendly pretense. its a lot simpler to disconnect and evade when someone you can easily hate is trying to pry information from you, which IS something experienced military pilots are often prepared for. this was completely different to the way a military power would interrogate an enemy combatant. Military and criminal interrogations have different goals and different restrictions, which both affect the method required. dude didnt stand a chance in that room.
@finn bell hmmm the size and financial strength of a military says nothing of the individuals amd training that make it up. the candian military has a pretty rock solid history. or what about the australian military? i would never want to have to interrogate an Australian SAS or SBS officer, but overall its a relatively weak, underfunded and understaffed force on the global scale...
@Ja frost Completely different scenarios. With fraud you have government records that automatically (with computer machines and otherwise) weed out discrepancies.
On the other hand, the forensics experts are still developing the case when the interrogator got a complete confession and acknolwedgement of guilt as well as the disclosure of other information that authorities have still not even got a hold of (such as his admission of where the body is, along with other items and paraphernalia that connects to the crime).
@Ja frost , Pretty sure your comment is supporting the Canadian and Australian Special forces. Believe me, they are the absolute best, along with the British. They are not to be underestimated. They are dangerous, and they are on the right side.
I mean sure, but the core thing to remember is they wouldn't be questioning anyone if they had solid evidence of you doing something. So anyone just needs to keep in mind everything they're saying from the time you engage them is a protocol to get you to admit guilt. In some cases even if there is none. So at every instance of speaking you keep th thought to give them nothing. Never give any answer that would indicate you've done anything at any time. Better yet just don't speak. So by those standards never give them the first word, and it renders any interrogators useless.
@Nicole S i know, my point there was overall strength of military has no bearing on the individual strength of its best people. Not always on the right side though. More than one former SAS officer bailed to work for the IRA post Vietnam. Though that probably says more about the treatment they came home to than their moral hygiene though
@clive ramsbotty haha so useless right? 1st off we likely dont know half of the failures and successes of any special forces unit, let alone the fact that the majority of the job is "kill people, dont be seen"... how do you quantify a groups proficiency at that? It's an immeasurable factor, so you CANT have a best or worst, just Reputable and Disreputable, and a groups past performances have little bearing on their future outcomes
Any idea how Williams successfully passed all the psychological testing he’s been through to become so high up in the military? Not one inkling that he had issues? Or did the issues make him a better candidate for the position?
would have been better he just demand a lawyer the moment the shoe print match was presented? Or even better just ask for a lawyer immediately before the questioning.
@kroven009 Said when? Genuine question. If he said that, I totally missed it. All the other comments about him having zero power are correct, tho. Just look @ 31:00 when the detective just says "*Russ, just listen to me.*" in a very slightly imperative/fake-condescending tone. the dude's eyes snap up at him in a fraction of a second, like those of a good trained and obedient dog, with all respect to dogs. Talk about that not being a power play, lol.
@19zuzi82 7:18 the very first thing he did jim explained here. His connections and knowledge of top secret information. Yeah I get it, once you break the law that all goes away but as Jim explains, his subtle power card he played was immediately ignored because the interrogator knows its invalid here.
@APGS Medium Somebody mentioned it in another comment, about him literally saying "Please" in an honest and meek voice, completely eradicated from his job of Colonel, which is a sign of complete submission to a master, in any kind of situation, from dogs do BDSM passing through military.
They absolutely can and do lie in order to get a confession. There was one case where the suspect was hooked up to a fake polygraph and then shown his fake results and the guy folded like a cheap suit, much like this guy did. Police don't have to inform you that they are police either, that is a fairly common fallacy.
Exactly my thought, Ive been watching this channel the past week and all the ones i watched were scared, lying, crying, and you have to extract information from them with a shovel. This guy calmy telling all the details of his murders and just chilling. Humans can be so fucking evil. I feel like throwing up, no joke
I think it was good side Russ or his military education were honor and truth is the way of life. He obv was highly decorated so he knew how to act, the issue was he had evil thoughts and was disguising his true motives.
I'd argue that he was only honest and open due to the skill of his interrogator. The man didn't have much evidence at all and got all of that out of a military man. That's some major skill right there.
@iAmAtom I agree, his cold and calculated emotionally dead responses while describing the indescribably horrible things he did are absolutely disgusting and horrifying to me. It seriously nauseated me too.
He wanted the mental relief of confessing from what I can tell. I felt my own heart start racing once the detective was basically like "this is it" and he was like oh thank god this is exactly what happened
I understand that the detective being a barrier between the door and perpetrator was a psychological tactic to keep the perpetrator from leaving, but I don’t get why he didn’t take the chance to leave while he can. He is guilty, shouldn’t he have used any chance to get out of there and save himself? He could have left anytime. Not only that, he could’ve gotten a lawyer but he declined. He is oddly nonchalant, as if he knew he wanted to get caught in his subconscious. Usually guilty people would want to flee the situation.
Irish Worley i thought the same thing. I have to gurgle water like a crazy person to get the mint taste out of my mouth before I can even consider coffee 😂
I’m not certain, but judging by the way his tongue occasionally grazed his lower gum-line, but I think he is a tobacco-chewer, which isn’t uncharacteristic of a military man. He may have either been chewing nicotine gum (hence why he was chewing the hell out of it) or regular gum, and anyone whose gone through a nicotine withdrawal will know how quickly one will jump for the added stimulant of caffeine.
Or, you know, he’s just a psychopath who chews gum and drinks coffee. Which I don’t believe is too far fetched...
Irish Worley him chewing his cud kind of screams ‘I need two packs of cigarettes.’ Instead of coffee they should have set one of those gigantic glass hookahs and a blow torch and some tobacco to help him calm down.
If I’m ever under the bright lights in the hot seat I’m going to need my smokes. Innocent or guilty, I’ll be stressed.
Irish that is actually typical Psychopathy behavior. They are very narcissistic and self assured, often quiet charming as well, that is why he is so self assured even cocky at times!
I didnt know Woody Harrleson was a Canadian Colonel.

6 minutes in he notes the order in which the cases were carried out referring to them as the first and second incidences how would he know what order they were in especially when he says they didn't even know the first one happened
you can tell how little crime actually happens in canada by the fact that all the detectives bring up paul bernado's name when talking about psychos... in america it's take your pick of psychos to mention
Canada doesn’t have the ghettos we have. The vast majority of crime in the USA comes from a small population and in concentrated areas. Do not confuse vast majority with “all”.
jer bo Psycho serial killers like this guy represent a tiny fraction of the murders in the USA or Canada. In the Chicago ghettos the murder rates are off the charts. Day after day. Year after year.
jer bo That’s not how it works, homie. Clarity in written communication starts with the writer. It is the writer that is expressing their thought. Improve your writing skills and you won’t have any issues with miscommunication. Study up, son.
He only said "call me Russ" and "got a map?" because he knew he was trapped and they knew it was him beyond reasonable doubt. He didn't know how to get out of it, because he couldn't.
It’s a simple question. Only iconic if you make it. Pretty sure it’s the first thing caught killers said when asked where the bodies are. Pretty sure Jeffrey Domers said the same thing
@Tardi Grade They didn't have him beyond reasonable doubt at all. They lead him to believe that, but in reality all they had was tire tracks and boot prints at that point and both are easily defensible, especially in military communities where there's a massive overlap between what people drive and wear. If it went to trial on just what they had at that point I highly doubt they're getting a conviction.
No, it's an interrogation technique used to make the suspect feel calm in order to give up details which could be used against them, also used to catch the suspect off guard with a very aggressive question.
The reason This man is so freely talking to the detective is cuz the detective did an amazing job. Like my god the deconstruction of the Col's high horse is just utterly amazing. the bluffs, trust building and composure is just a 10/10. just the characters of the Detective is just beyond amazing. I love the amazing beautiful deconstruction. Absolutely Beautiful. This is just a perfect interview.
Psychology is just beautiful when used like this. This is interview is Art.
Detective comes home: "honey I got you a coffee since I got myself one, it's just black with sugar-" Wife: "yes I used the credit card to buy a Channel belt" Detective:"... I knew it,"
Interesting how even searching for "interrogation of colonel russell williams" on YT, this video doesn't come up... Other interrogation videos from JCS show up even, but not this one. Weird.
This detective is really good at waiting. Often I see them break the awkward silence with reassurance or repeating the question, but this guy let the pressure of the silence build up until he got something.
moral of the story: Dogs save life !!!! cats cause death!!! If the first victim had a dog instead of a cat both these women were alive!!!! a dog wont just stare!!!! at very least its barks could have woken the whole neighborhood!!
The part where he asked if she was dressed when she was struck on the back of the head, and if they'll find her dressed... He was basically seeing if he raped her dead body... Damn...
Edit: So messed up, how can anyone do this? It was all so matter of fact too... Madness...
imagine how scary that must have been.. your in the basement you cat is looking into the dark and you approach slowly just to be attacked from the darkness
These are so thorough I bet if some of the interrogating officers have watched these they'd say "F*** why didn't I think of that" when you explain. Love your vids Jim.
6:00 Top Secret? What kind of information is Russell not at liberty to share? How about piloting a small corporate jet to follow Flight 93 on 9/11 in case it was "hijacked".
Give credit where credit is due. The detective was excellent. Regardless of the evidence obtained, extracting the confession is a whole other science in itself. For some criminals, denial is the name of the game. It's circumstances like these where having interrogation skills separates the detectives from the cops.
I don't understand why they don't just ask for a lawyer so they can't say anything incriminating. Those police officers are especially trained to get a confession out of you and you have the right to remain silent. I know this guy did horrible shit but I just don't understand why you would talk if you did something bad.
I've watched Russell Williams' footage many times and I'm actually burnt out on the guy, but I still instantly smiled and cheered "HELL YEAH!" when I saw this video uploaded by Jim Can't Swim.
@Miranda Rights his videos are just captivating, and I really enjoy the commentary--they're all very high-quality documentaries

What’s wrong with the criminals in Canada? No matter what! the first thing you do when you is politely say I will nottalk to law enforcement without my attorney present! No matter what whether your guilty or not. We’ve all seen plenty of times at least in the U.S wrongfully charged innocent people. We’ve also watched time after time the guilty individual give the detective exactly what they want thinking your smart enough to get one over them. These investigators are not your friends, they are trained professionals trained to use all tactics to get you to tell on yourself. I will not speak to law enforcement without a lawyer. This man was a high ranking military officer he should have known better.
i think some of these guys just dont care what happens to them in the end, they either feel so guilty and know they deserve life in jail or straight up just dont care about anything at all.......also there are those that want to brag about what they did so they tell everything
When you actually look at what they had, if he had just walked out they probably wouldn't have been able to pin anything on him. The evidence they had at the time was flimsy but then he offered them all the evidence theyd need to build a rock solid case
Just got point out that it was the announcement that his houses were being searched that turned the tables. He knew they'd have all his photos and video of him murdering
This is a master interrogator at his best, the way way he totally controlled Russell's mind by degrees is brilliant. If it goes on to be a movie Daniel Day Lewis is the only actor alive with the required skill set to play this part
I have a cat and it’s so fucking horrifying to think of going to see what she’s doing, realizing she’s looking at a certain corner of my basement, going to investigate, and finding an actual man standing there. Usually cats are staring at nothing or a bug. Worst nightmare is for it to be an intruder.
If you watch very carefully, you will see that the interviewer began mirroring the pervert’s posture. He waited a long time before beginning to do this, and eventually did so twice. Then he changed his posture completely to one that neither had used: a contemplative stance.
Almost immediately the sick pervert EACTLY MIRRORED HIM!!!
That was the moment the investigator turned the game, and the pervert decided it had no way out.
In truth of course the investigator had bluffed about the strength and value of the tyre and footprint evidence, as well as the DNA from the first victim. Plus, they had no idea where the second victim’s body was. Had he lawyered up and said nothing, there was at that point insufficient evidence to convict. It convinced itself it was over, and convicted itself in it’s head!
But it wasn’t very smart. It hunted in its own back yard. It had some very odd, very prolific trophy perversions. It kept evidence that would have linked it to the crimes.
Despite all its evil depravity, the pervert had several weaknesses. One was it’s dependence upon its wife. It needed her on side for what it imagined would be the next stage.
For some reason, this was the most disturbing case. The confessions offer NO real explanation for the real motives. Those desire/revenge/hate questions are inconclusive.
The investigator is a genius. He saved lives for sure. The revelations at the end about entering children’s bedrooms suggests the direction the crime spree could have gone had it not been stopped. Excellent work.
So, you, innocent, but clearly related to the situation, would be denying it all and pretending you're not, and making the investigation job harder? Not very innocent-like.
@Dylan They didn't get to him out of nowhere. The questions were not taken out of nowhere. If they got to you, an innocent, would you be saying no in situations you should say "ok", "sure"? At least during the first 25 minutes, those things he confirmed would still be confirmed if he was innocent.
@Matheus Blank if you were innocent that means you would have no idea what they were talking about because you would have to be involved to know. So if i was being asked or told any of the things the detective said i would stop him and immediately ask what the hell this has to do with me. Matter of fact I would immediately start asking questions as soon i was asked to sit in thst room like idk why am I here. That guy just sat there mindlessly responding because he knew what he was there for already....
morty Exactlyyyyy! This guy is dealing with some issues here. Don’t even try. I was scratching my head trying to see his point. Maybe he has one but it surely doesn’t resonate with me.
Jim just needs to have a college course strictly with these videos, I would enroll every semester lol god it’s so interesting and I love learning all the words and techniques
Stacey Smith He really is amazing! I look forward to his videos every time, it honestly makes me want to take some classes! I would already be familiar with a few things 😄
@Crime Crusader if you love learning about it, maybe you should? Maybe you'll be the next amazing Jim Smyth even? He kept so cool knowing what a monster Russel was and through the confession but my blood went cold
they had all the evidence to convict him before he opened his GD mouth-i worked within law enforcement and had to listen to child molesters ,and worse, laughing at what they did,the bragging gd !--people have no GD idea the level of anger/ frustration some of us endured over years ! i suffer from PTSD due to these bastards-it aint a joke
Comanche except it actually doesn't. There are plenty documented cases of false leads and such being yielded from torture, and that's on top of innocents who are wrongly imprisoned being tortured for information they literally do not have.
The CIA also flooded the streets with drugs, tried to use LSD to brainwash people, tried and failed to kill Castro like a hundred times, and once spent millions of dollars putting a microphone in a cat in an operation that failed miserably.
So no, just because the CIA does something doesn't mean "it works" or "it's right"
Plain and simply, torture is barbaric, occasionally fails, and is probably overused.
@Comanche Naw, torture has been proven to not be effective. It's been proven since Vietnam when used against the Viet Cong. Torture often leads to misinformation because of how destructive it is to someones mental state. They will tell you whatever you want to hear, even if it's wrong, so that you stop. Fuck the ethical questions it brings up. It just doesn't work on a practical level.
This narrative that torture works is upheld and maintained by folks who stand to benefit, financially, from telling that myth. The myth is then spread by gullible folks who attach themselves on an ideological level to governments who use said methods, allowing their own government to do said acts but demonizing other governments who also do it. "When we do it, it's good because my group is good and can't be wrong. When you do it, it is bad because your group is bad" is the basic premise.
@Comanche First of all, please watch it one more time. he was super confident at first and gradually broke. Second, Of course torture works, that's why it's been used since the ancient time!!! it's so effective that many people- including myself would've confess to crimes we'd not committed.
@Comanche You're right in regards to "you're going to give any information" but wrong in how you interpret that statement. The person being tortured will tell you whatever you want to hear, even if they didn't do anything wrong and have no real information. That's the point. They will tell you anything, true or false, to get you to stop even for a short while. Think about this video. No physical violence was used, just psychology, on trained military personnel and he divulged everything without fuss.
Blanket statements like "they just tell you that to try and make the world less dark" are hyperbolic. There are countless studies by the FBI, CIA, MIAs and so on stating that. Just look them up yourself. Real life isn't a comic book or movie. It isn't simply pull fingernails and break bones and out pops accurate info, especially if the person being questioned doesn't have any info to begin with.
Spock well if you know so much about social psychology you would know that different methods can work depending on that persons morals and psyche. What about the person who you know knows information but is refusing to give it to you, because they have a strong sense of dignity and loyalty to country(the Japanese for instance). You are saying torture wouldn’t break that type of man down at all? What about the man scared of death and pain who even at the mention of torture spills everything he knows. The drug cartel owner who is only worried about himself and his own benefit when told they can make all the torture stop and have a lesser sentence if they rat out their friends so they do cause it helps them out? Do you just read one side of the argument and take it as fact or have you read anything about the possible benefits of torture?
@Payam Behtash Wouldn't you ask follow up questions that could be verified? If the goal is to find a bomb, making the subject a babbling idiot would be poor technique.
@Mohamed El Alouani I disagree. Most mammal animals show discipline control towards their children by gently hitting/biting and shouting, even apes. It's just natural for everyone and it shouldn't be counted as wrong to practise it because in realistical circumstances it can truly bring the child back to the right road. I do not vouch for actual/serious beating and screaming that's just abusing but a gentle slap and voice raising is okay.

i.e. Chris Watts. That guy damn near committed the perfect crime but he cracked in the interrogation room.
these technique was first made by one nazi officer wich was verry succeful in interrogation. But the comand back then didn't realized how efective it was and others were still used so to say "old school" methods.
@Comanche People often give bullshit information when they are being tortured because they think it'll stop them from being tortured. Even Napoleon bonaparte knew that and wrote a damn essay on it.
@Comanche thats not the reason cia continues to do it. Stop being so Naive Torture doesnt work because people who are innocent will say anything. This is already an open and shut case proven time and time again. over 95% of confessions are innocents. and that just tells you how many people they torture that arent guilty.
Mohamed El Alouani my parents have always shouted at me and hit me but I moved out and got a job at 14 now I’m 22 been working a steady high paying job for 4 years straight and I’ve yet to meet a challenge I can’t handle also I find that I have an exceptional ability to diffuse situations and keep calm when others panic however until I was about 13 I cried when anyone yelled now I can laugh if you’re yelling with a gun in my face I think there’s some merit to toughening your kid up but it also depends on the kid some people just end up doing exactly what they saw growing up instead of learning from it
Yannis K Brand you sound like someone trying to portray that they are smart when all you did was say gibberish. Explain to me how delusion is a fact. You used paradigm completely wrong and also used current and currency as if they mean the same thing. Read a book.
Payam Behtash This makes it more necessary to teach the public about these techniques. The more skillful the interrogators get the more dangerous they and their government becomes . You should not take their side ever.
@h8r Raider Sympathies dude I've been homeless and in jail for being drunk and stupid when I was young, the folks i came across still haunt my thoughts. To know Monsters are real and they walk among us is terrifying!
The court will only accept a guilty plea if the defendant gives a detailed statement about his/her crimes so as to eliminate the possibility of someone claiming responsability for a crime they did not commit. this wasn't an interrogation.
@kaz kk Also the more effective they are at catching criminals. This isn't a one side versus another side situation and if you think so you might only be capable of thinking in dualities. I hope you outgrow such a narrow-minded lens of looking at the world and develop some nuanced perspective.
The way he sounds as he describes the horrors he committed is as if he's reciting what he bought at the grocery store last week. Pure evil dwells within that man.
I can tell by just looking at him that he is Evil, it is in his eyes, the constant chewing, and the way he just nods his head, his body Language, some people give off bad energy, i can normally sum most people up within a very short space of time.!! By certain things
I keep thinking that when Marie-France first saw her CO in the basement, she must have wondered what he was doing there.
I wonder at point she thought she was going to die.
It is a tragic case. One cannot imagine the fear she went through - the anguish, the mental torture, not to mention the physical violations of her body.
Nobody can imagine the suffering that poor woman went through. It really is hard to imagine how a person can do this to another person.
@Three Thrushes I'm not sure, but I've watched every documentary about this case and read books about it too. We mostly know what happened from Williams confessions, which back up the crime scene photos, some of which you can see on YT.
@Three Thrushes Poor woman. She just wanted to take her kitty and go to sleep like she had countless times before. This bastard violated the sanctity of her own body in the most personal ways imaginable and then, at the end of it all, just...killed her. Stole everything from her - everything she had or ever would have and everything she would ever be, think, see, or do - gone. This really made me think, for the first time, what these victims actually experience. How is anyone capable of actually doing these things to another person? I can't comprehend being so fucked up that you'd actually do something like this. I don't know what to call it - consciousness, a soul - but whatever it is that makes you and I human - these people simply must not have it, because there is no way a human being could do this. I just cannot accept that 'we' are human beings and there are other human beings - people with the same basic wiring and emotions and identity as us - can commit such evil. We just can't be the same things.
@Three Thrushes based on what evidence? I don't agree in the slightest. Most people base their morals on the Bible, even if not religious. just how most laws are based on the Bible. I would agree that people would do bad things to other people, such as cheating or stealing but murder and rape are totally different.
angry zergling nail on the head man. I love your name by the way. Huge fan original Starcraft but way more Protoss or Terran fan. Production wise I have mad respect for Zerg but they creep me out just to imagine a species like them somewhere in the universe.
@frgvm(e) 'he had his face covered, so she didn't know it was him.' Note the first pass, when asked he says she didn't recognize him because his face was covered. Then the later pass through he says she said 'you bastard' as soon as she saw him, and he immediately knocks her out. You'd recognize most of the people you were around much whether their face was covered or not, and they were coworkers. So quite likely she recognized him and he's minimizing it.. There's a longer 20/20 episode that shows more about their working relationship, they don't talk about it as much in this video.
@Juanita Richards why do I recognize your name so vividly back from when Chris Watts was being tried? You were always so adamant that you knew exactly what happened, and that Armchair Detective was a fraud, and yada yada. I think you just have a strict fascination with serial rapists and killers and don't watch any other content, because it's been a long time since I've dove into some serial killers interrogation videos, so I haven't seen you in just as long, but here you are 5 days ago making sure to be right on top of this shit lmao.
@Seth Kauffman I spent a whole day yesterday and last night watching medieval films and documentaries, which I often do. Look at my playlist. I have about 200 categories of subjects that interest me. The AD is a fraud, only a halfwit couldn't see that. And those of us who are fans of non fiction crime do tend to learn a lot. I don;t own a TV or watch it. I sold mine 8 years ago because there was nothing but crap on every channel. On YT I can watch the things that interest me. Who cares what I do? It's a free world. I wasn't out on this earth for other people's approval.
@Three Thrushes Agreed! And to take it to the next level...if my dogs don't trust you, you're out the door and better start running. Humans are so easily deceived by words, body language and of course appearances... but animals sense the real you...and so I always trust them when they show aggression towards a person.
Whenever I catch my cat staring at something that I don't see, like down the hallway at night, like it's watching something, it always sends a chill down my spine.
@Bo Byrd Right. & If I had a cat, she would never have the chance to get down there and if she did, no way would I go down in the basement to get her because she is staring into a dark corner. It is every woman (or cat) for herself at that point.
YES!!!! Thats what I was thinking too!!! Fucking creepy as fuck. The cat just sat there staring at him. Imagine her horror seeing him hiding there. Jesus Christ Almighty. She died such a horrific death. I feel SO sorry for her.
@Three Thrushes there was a study years ago, and a big % of people said they would kill a total stranger for X amount of $$ if they knew they could get away with it.
@MLP Shawn I KNEW THE ANDREW ONE WAS UNLISTED TIL RECENTLY!! he just put it back and i was like wait i remember this video but i swear it hasn't been on here the last few times I've checked his channel, wtf? im so glad you pointed that out
I don't understand shoe print or tire track comparisons because I know 2 people who have the same shoes as me and certain tire brands are super common hes obviously not too smart lol
This unquestioned adoration and worship of anyone connected to the military mystifies anyone outside of North America. Adoration is earned, not adorned by a badge or issued title. It is not that people are disrespectful to high ranking military personnel; it's that true military staff of integrity would never expect to be so nauseatingly worshipped, pure on account of status alone.
Mango chris what do you mean, sounds like a dream, the salary wouldn’t even be the main concern if I had the ability to work in that field. It’s a real life chess game with the most devastating consequences
"How long was she alive for?" I can't imagine asking questions like this, let alone my job requiring it. Insane respect to the detective, and any detective for that matter!
@PENDANTturnips I mean to be a professional means having to have some kind of emotional control over yourself. A surgeon has to cut you, when I am counselling at client I have to listen to and ask questions about horrible things that have happened to them. That's where self-care comes in and you better believe these Detectives either use it or they drink themselves to death.
Luke B , I'm 46 now, but when I was a kid, no one locked their doors, even when they were not home, and slept with windows open in the summer. Now, in that same very rural neighborhood, people keep doors and windows locked 24/7, and still aren't safe.
@Social Justice Warrior "Russel Williams wanted to admit what he did" Don't think so. Not until he was cornered, did he confess. And those long, quiet minutes before he did, speak of a massive struggle - the confession wasn't a foregone conclusion. The colonel was a fighter, and so was the detective, that's why it was so exhilarating to watch.
@teaCupkk It's not that ALL of him wanted to be caught but part of him did. I'm sure he could have bought a beater truck/car that he only used for his crimes not his everyday driving around vehicle. Homeboy wore the boots that he did his murderin' in into the interrogation. When you really don't want to be caught you are meticulous.
Brilliant and exemplary man. Many qualities come to mind when describing this exceptional person – composure, integrity, honesty.

Luke B - Don’t give him too much credit, at the end of the day he’s just a stupid cop trying his luck, poking for incrimination. The narrator is reading waaay too much into the detective’s tactics, which are amaturish at best.
how is it possible there was a bag full of womens underwear in their basement and another one in their vacation home & his wife knew nothing? isnt it strange?
He likely would have alerted her to an intruder & she might still be alive.
Also, even if it was a joke.. you're aware this is the internet, right? I don't need to preface a YouTube comment on a sad topic with deep condolences for her family. Sorry, not sorry. 🤷♀️
This one, the Jussie Smollet and Prince Andrew videos all are unlisted now. Maybe it has to do with copyright or monetization (notice this has no ads)? Or maybe they contain info that JCS no longer believes or was inaccurate. It's weird.
LMAO, I was thinking the same thing. If you have ever watched an episode of the first 48 then you know this is exactly what they do once they have stepped out of the room after getting a confession.
could you possibly break down an investigation of someone who is innocent? where the investigators got it wrong? it would be interesting to see that perspective
Is it anyone else that can't actually find this video anymore? Like it's not listed on his channel and can't be looked up. I had to actually find the link.
There is 26 unlisted videos, you can find them all on his Patreon for as little as 1 dollar per month. I really reccommend it if you love this channel and want more.
JCS why is this video not on your channel’s videos list? I’ve checked a few times and it’s not there yet the video is still on YouTube under your channel’s name...
About not use these techniques at the bar. Especially the mimicking body posture. Or is that considered manipulation if I'm aware. I noticed most people in social situations do that.
JCS doing outstanding work . The narration on point , not too much not too little and the editing is flawless speeding through some of the downtime while keeping us aware of the subject at hand. Come on streaming services give this channel a show.
Side note: the man who made/designed the smiley face (your profile picture) only got paid $43 or 500 in today’s equivalence because he failed to patent the design. Sad right?
I would love to see, instead of the criminal, a video about the interrogators! After seeing this one, id love to know more about their techniques and art
The one thing I learned from this great channel is that I have a much better understanding of interrogations and much less understanding of criminal minds.
Now this is how interrogators are supposed to be. Absolutely beautiful. My only regret is that poor Russell's wife probably wasted her entire afternoon preparing a dinner that he would never get the chance to enjoy.
This is exactly how this would go with any base commander or higher. They see themselves in a broad narrative that’s bigger than anyone else so appealing to how great they are works every time.
Amazing channel, incredibly informative and eye opening as an insight into the highly complex dimensions of interrogation and psychology at hand here. Another thing is the comments here about his hair 🤣 got me losing it over here I can’t stop laughing my oh my 😂.
Wow... what a talented guy to get Russell to confess... I was literally glued to this... it's been a while since a documentary has done this to me... I generally feel quite disappeared and horrified 😟
The change in the detective after the confession begins is really striking. He was all measured movements and bluffs before. You can tell hearing this stuff weighs on him.
It's crazy he agreed when he said "shoe prints are equal to fingerprints" I'd have been like "man quit lmao. No they're not" tire prints aren't either.
He didn’t even try to hide them at all. He broke into a bunch of houses around his HOME! He honestly didn’t think he would get caught. That’s how high and mighty he thought he was. Crazy.
Because it ends with the "y" sound and is how we're spoken to as kids or when we're in submissive state for some reason. It's the speech you hear from people you're supposed to trust. It creeps me out big time, too!
At 51:46 I saw the devil inside him, laughing about the fact she didn't go willingly with him. It's just creepy, imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a stranger.
@mystic mac first, were you there to confirm he didn't say it "like that" ? second, i didn't say it was the only thing that creeps me out. I said it's what creeps me out the most out of everything else he said.
Detective Jim Smith is a genius at this. They’ve asked him to write books about his methods. He prefers just to catch the bad guys and let other use his tape as training for other detectives. He’s a fascinating guy!
The fuckin' body language and games they're playing with each other. Coming from a military family, I can't tell you just how fucking hilarious this is. Screw food, screw water! I could subsist off this shit for weeks! It feeds my very soul, it's so cathartic and funny.
@Pink slits ooze autonomy. Thats what a psycho would say, though🤔 Hehe, no for real though, I did not suggest that people that like sweetened coffee without milk are psychos, only that it is (from what I see) the rarest form of coffee consumption 🤓 and therefore🧐 is a useful tactic to force something non-pleasant on a suspect.
one thing i noticed, the interogator failed to mention his military reputation. At the begining the narrarator mentioned it was to take away his higher social stance and bring him down to his level, but the downside to doing this is that its harder to put his military reputaion in his mind. The impact of his actions on how his men view him would have likely been enough to force him into sliping up. Although that would have been a good tactic to utilize in a later interview if this (softer) tactic had failed to illicit a confession, or evidence.
My very close friend is a Detective who has special expertise in interviewing children who've been victims of sexual abuse. She explained her process of interviewing kids, but also her approach in interrogations. She's gotten a lot of predatory monsters off the street. She has an impressive percentage of confessions. She's a funny, pretty blonde person and perfect for the job. Personally, I would not want to be in the same room with a guy like this.
On the flip side people like your friend have may saved many innocent men from prison. A friend of mine's wife left him and during the divorce proceedings she accused him of molesting their 8yo daughter. The daughter was obviously coached by the mother because she couldn't answer questions like "what time of day did it happen?", "where did it happen?", "what was daddy wearing" etc. She had a script that she had no problem repeating, but as soon as the questioning went off script she couldn't answer the most simple innocent question. The interviewer testified that she was 100% certain that the daughter had not been interfered with.
I can’t believe after all those guilty verdicts and two murders he still gets to come up for parole...it might be awhile but still he has a chance to be free walking the streets again. What does it take to keep u in prison.?
I don’t think he felt remorse but he also genuinely cared that his wife would find out. The lack of motive is really off putting. Serial killers usually have some history of hat led them to become sexual deviants. Porn, or maybe even abused themselves
Of course Canada has the most polite murder rapist. Just calmly answering every question, sometimes saying things like "pardon me?". Obviously wasn't polite to the victims.. Chilling.
Put a bunch of murder suspects in a cell for a night and the one who sleeps soundly is the killer - this dude is way too calm given the severity of the crimes being listed
I remember one night I was out for a walk after supper like I always did and a police pulled up to me telling me to get in his car so he could drive me home, he was trying to tell me a guy walking behind me was following me for a while and he was worried I was in trouble. But I saw that guy had just got off a bus and didn't even see me so I knew the police was lying, and he had such a wild look in his eye I felt like he was a dirty cop was trying to abduct me. Why would a police make such a blatant lie and look so crazy doing it??? There were some other people out for walks so I wasn't too scared because there were witnesses. He kept asking me where I lived and telling me he'd drive me home that I wasn't safe, but I told him I lived close by and promised I'd go home. When he finally left me alone he looked kind of sad and resigned about it. Later I found out it's because Williams was in the neighbourhood and the officer really was trying to protect me.
What's the explanation behind "Call me Russ"? It's like a coping mechanism for him (like "only friends and family call me X), to help him feel protected and secure? Or the investigator gain his trust and it makes him feel more familiar? And 3rd option- call me Russ because I want something in return (aka to protect his wife). I hope this won't lose in the comment section.... Thank you!
Chomping on his gum, & nodding constantly shows he’s trying to make up a story. As soon as the investigator mentioned he might be involved, I would have said something. He just kept nodding & chomping on his gum. A tell tale sign of being nervous & guilty.
I know he's a bad guy and all, but I kinda hate interrogations with how manipulative they are. I wouldn't be surprised if slower people just admitted to crimes they didn't do because the investigator made them feel like regardless if they did it, they'd be going to jail.
The channel Crime Watch Daily reported that Williams was the SECOND car checked when the roadblock went up. I hate misinformation. I am definitely giving Jim the benefit of the doubt.
This is an interesting case. This guy was a predator but he wasn't evil. (I mean thats subjective but you know some people really don't feel bad or anythign like that or even feel good about it) This guy got fucked in the head at some point and I think like you said the constant reminder of his high status probably continued it or exacerbated it
Idk... he seems pretty fucking evil to me. He may appear remorseful but the cold, calculating way in which he describes his crimes is disgusting. Seems like he's basking in it.
This guy couldve walked out and lawyered up at any moment. I’m not saying he’s innocent, just that he definitely could have been like, okay bye, lawyer
On his salary he could have afforded the best solicitor in Canada. As much as of a monster he is all he had to do was keep his vile mouth shut and he may have got a better outcome than life with no parole. Maybe even could have walked free
@marty13612 Really appreciate your reply. I had no idea whatsoever and appreciate your clarification! It's (IMHO) just such a strange term to call a bad/upset stomach as 'flu'. From the UK with my warmest regards to my Canadian friends.
You should do the psychology of the guy who said what have I done i have become death i have become destroyers of worlds the guy who invented and set off the first nuclear bomb his mindset his life how smart.he was to build something like that the.mindset of those involved building it the mindset of those who set it off amd their mindset after seeing it all done to it being set off what was their mindset after that What about trump amd his mindset amd how smart he is what he is thinking about his tactics Do you have access to other interrogation footage is their any notable footage you have to show people.who stumped the police or freaked them out or was impossible to crack tactics used it's been awsome to see these body readersie detectors your explanations of mindsets what their doing is awsome do they teach this kind of stuff in schools or is it learned in time and are these tactics proven to work
Stu Pidazzo in the military everyone especially high ranking officers are extremely aware of their positions. When talking to someone (first you ask permission) you always address them by the rank. It's a honor thing. If you use their name you raise yourself on the same level.

@I am the one even if the person addressing the authority isn't even in the military? (Like the detective here)
Stu Pidazzo There is a line in the rank hierarchy when passed after which other institutions like hospitals will refer you as colonel or general. Where I come from that doesn't happen even if you were 4 star general but it is a practice in many countries. Colonel comes right before 1 star general so he was pretty pissed he wasn't recognized. I can't amplify how neurotic officers are of their rank. If you address them by higher rank they will give a smug smile and crack a joke if you address them by lower rank they will loose their shit.
@I am the one oh I see thanks for the info. I didn't really notice any egos hurt or shit lost from our good ol' pal Russ here. Perhaps he secretly was in fact?

Stu Pidazzo Oh, he was. If you ever go to military you will see how god damn childish place it is(but necessary). War is childish thing also so what else to expect. For officers its like a game of honor. The higher ranking you are the more respect you have. And then there are different units fighting over who is the toughest and most necessary. And they know exactly how to tune your mind to subscribe to that game. In 6 months you are brainwashed to value the things military wants you to value and behave as you are told to. This mad man was in the military well over a decade. If he is frequently addressed as colonel instead of Mr(as apparently is custom new continent) he must have been pissed. He just covered it but he sure as hell was.
I can really appreciate this video. Its very well made, and the narrator does a good job of making a topic or event that i would find uninteresting, into something i cant put down. Great job!
Well if you commit SO many crimes.. you gotta know you're going to get caught eventually.. and for him it must have been a realization that.. 'hey.. it's finally that time.. I knew it was coming so fuck it. '
@theRobinBrown In my honest opinion, I believe there was a part of him (maybe subconscious even) that wanted to be caught, which is why he barely questioned the idea that something like tire track analysis could be done at a level as to make it similar to the accuracy of the likes of fingerprints or why he was so quick to establish such a convincing link between himself and the crimes he was involved in.
there are moments when the sighs come across more like sighs of relief than anything else, at least to me. There's several moments when he refers to the well-being of his wife and the impact on her as a primary focus of concern,showing that at least on some level he is capable of some form of emotional response based on the ramifications to others that come from the actions he committed (be it concern/pity/remorse). He even states outright that he would hope that if he weren't caught that it wouldn't happen again but couldn't be sure.
Maybe I am way off as I don't know much about the case (aside from this video) nor do I have any professional background in psychology, and yes I still obviously view the Col. as a sick individual who deserves what he got and arguably more but yeah, I guess that's just my interpretation I got from viewing this footage.
That's not to undermine the masterful and eloquently subtle use of techniques on the side of the interrogator however. Its easy to want to go in guns blazing and tear the guy a new one when you believe or even flat out know the person is guilty. Anyone could do that, just like being in an argument with someone, demanding answers and whatnot. It takes patience, talent integrity (and I suppose a little trickery helps) to be able to pull off a confession like that one.
On a side note, I would be interested to see a breakdown on this channel of a high profile example of a wrongful arrest/conviction based partially on interrogation footage with an analysis on what may have been some of the underlying causes (at least on the interrogation side of things) such as the body language or answers given, that might have led to the wrongful arrest/conviction. I think it would be an interesting and different aspect that I don't think I have seen very often.
I agree but what I found even more interesting than him not reneging is that he did not try to offer any alternative options as to what had happened. Like no untruthful explanations nothing!
Lawyers spend their entire careers trying to give the simple message: “Never, ever, EVER, talk to the police!”. Never under any circumstances, innocent or guilty. Yet none of these people can get it into their thick sculls.
its cuz requesting a lawyer arouses suspicion, and these types of people think they can defend their own name. that and williams probably wanted to share his... um, escapades with someone.
Laura Sparkles It can arouse suspicion from the police but requesting a lawyer, as is people’s right, doesn’t hold up in court as a reasonable suspicion
@violet sparkles I feel only ignorant people would believe that its suspicions to get a lawyer. If you're guilty you'll want to protect yourself, even more so if your innocent.
Those pictures of him wearing women's underwear are priceless. I contemplated making one of them my wallpaper on my pc but figured some people might find that a a bit weird.
I never understood men who hang onto their hair for dear life like that. They look ridiculous. Guys like that should just shave their head and be done with it. I could never take orders from a man who is so oblivious to how bad their hair looks lol
@david walsh the chicago Whitehawk ah but the good colonel is a modern warrior. Modern warfare is about hitting those who can't hit back. See: either world war or any asymmetrical war. nice channel btw
Ryan Hanselman good choice. If you ever had a girl to your house and they saw it... I dont think there would be anyway to explain it while theyre high tailing it.
Zach Morgan i wasn’t suggesting you credit him, I was just wondering if you heard the “underwear weirdo” moniker from him. I call people lizards and talk about checking my pictures and my friend shmeeda all the time after watching him, he’s really funny!
Damn, dude should've got a lawyer cause he didn't have anything concrete on him at all but once he started taking, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. I took a course in interrogation and always thought it was funny how the term "pretext" was used, which is a fancy word for lie. Cops are trained to use lies to trick you into confessing. Even the way you sit is part of the strategy and you're also taught to interpret body movements. Like the way he crossed his arms. That's called mental defense mechanism.
DannyDSculptor The hair is the last of his worries Life in prison with no parole, can’t imagine how one can survive this Ruined lives including his own
@Shane Ashley Yeah I was watching this, as soon as the interrogator asked him if he wanted a lawyer, I would of said yes immediately. He would of been free. Luckily, the man thought he was smarter than he was, the detective did an amazing job on this.
@DannyDSculptor I am not defending this hair style, but have you considered they appear this way from either a short grade all over or having been bald and the hair has grown out? I don't think these styles are 'designed' as such.
@DannyDSculptor he has a lot of hair follicles that are still alive... Almost all people with his type of hairloss at the front are bald on top.. You would still think his patch would look a bit weird face to face even if he shaved.. he should be getting hair transplants as he would really benefit from them.. maybe he can get it done in jail???
Raymond Frye2019-11-16 11:58:07 (edited 2019-11-16 19:38:03 )
@DannyDSculptor Sir: Maybe he should receive a year's supply of Minoxidil with it's hair-growing potential. That, and a CD of actor Jack Nicholson's Werewolf movie with his Hair Club comment for inspiration Seriously
Jonny Burrito great comment. I have a master’s degree in Criminal Justice, and a former Warden of various prisons in the USA, South America and Caribbean. I have met some serious evil people and this guy is right up there. I read the book too it’s really good although and tough read. Camouflaged killer by David Gibbs. I recommend it if you like these kind of stories and news.
imagine that the detective built so much trust with him while breaking him at the same time, that this ego filled coronel wanted the detective to call him “russ”
I'm now needing analysis myself of why I'm so intrigued by these. I saw one a few days ago - the analysis of an interrogation of a detective, Stephanie Lazarus (*really* bizarre and interesting interview of a sociopath, if you haven't seen it) and now I'm subscribed and watching one-two a day!
Yesterday I fall asleep watching videos of cute puppies wearing dogs... this morning I wake up here. Anyone know what the connexion is and what misterious algorithm took me here?
Nathan Silva, there’s quite few posted on YouTube. Patreon is only $1 a month. It’s worth it for the high quality of these very interesting videos, if you want to watch more of them.
I watched this case not long ago. Know it was older case. I think. But he killed his wife and her son and then did a home remodel and was cleaning when the cops came
erwin she didn’t say black people. ofc you immediately thought of black people when talking about a protest, as if other people don’t have meaningful protests about shit other their own race.
@Ciara Bennett maybe they're referring to the dudes hair. maybe they're talking about their valiant and brave protest for a haircut, and a manicure too. Maybe thats a BIG deal and nothing else matters. Just them and what they need. Just maybe.
Chilling interview. Definitely a master of his craft. I hope for the women watching lock your doors and windows and if legal have a firearm and become proficient with it. Evil is all around us. Crazy thing if this guy would have got a lawyer and said nothing it would have been hard to a warrant signed off on, he may have gotten away with it. Also if he would have swapped tires he would have been off the radar all together.
Any innocent person would be like “why did you bring me in here? I didn’t even know these people” Yet he’s like oh yeah those happened near me. No outrage or confusion at being suspected. I think part of him knew he was gonna confess before he left that room.
Sometimes psychopaths can't resist bragging about what they've done. He is reliving the moment and he's also looking to shock the interrogator with his deeds.
@Paul Barclay 'They try to avoid false confessions " - Really? Since when? Some cops don't care. They just want a conviction and don't care if the guy they pin it on, is actually guilty! The justice system isn't about justice anymore. The truth is usually the first victim of the justice system. It has been my experience, that many of the prosecutors and cops, don't care who they hurt. They don't care about the victims. They enjoy destroying people, regardless of innocence or guilt. Use their authority to bully people. And are often, just big assholes and/or criminals with a badge.
With that said, I know it's not all cops or prosecutors who are like that, but because there are some who are like that, you can't trust any of them. Once you have been victimized by 1 crooked cop, you will never trust another. I speak from experience.
@Mephisto Underwood police are humans Humans are flawed no matter the profession Yes some are corrupt. Not most. What percentage of people you've met in your life are bad people?
@rick ross good people are also attracted to the profession, people who want to make a positive impact and keep society safe. I do think there's a higher percentage of sociopaths working as police than the general population.
Me- tells parents I broke the TV when they were at the store Little brother- looking at me confused AF knowing full well HE broke it Me- "keep quiet little bro, this investigator is scaring the shit outta me!!!"
@Mephisto Underwood While I think the detective in the video must be one of the good ones, you do have a damned good point. One bad apple spoils the bunch, police departments have lost loads of credibility over the years. As you said, it just takes one crooked individual to make an innocent man justifiably scared of all the rest.
@Mike McGomer The truly intelligent people usually take up professions that make use of that intelligence, like medicine or the sciences. That means, most of the cops are of just average or lower than average, intelligence. The result is flawed investigations and a complete loss of objectivity. They easily get tunnel vision and can often be played, quite easily, by truly intelligent criminals. Fortunately, most criminals are themselves, quite stupid.
@ARE I have a social life and a GF without STDs. The things people think are proof of completely unrelated things, can be astounding! Just more proof of my first reply to you. Ready for round 3?
@Mike McGomer Jail is significantly different from prison. Jail is low security and for those serving short term sentences for relatively minor offences. Prisons are for those serving long term sentences for serious and/or extremely violent crimes, such as murder. Apples and oranges. I have maintained for a long time that many cops are just criminals with a badge, so I agree with part of your statement.
Jennifer 6strings Lay off the smack. Being a junkie increases your probability of running into one of these people many fold. Rather than ‘sticking up for yourself,’ try looking out for yourself instead. Take care. Seriously
Clairabelle99 Guns are illegal in some places and for some people to own, like felons. However, in Oregon, if you’ve been found guilty of a felony by reason of insanity, you can apply for a gun permit. How insane is THAT? Just an FYI nugget of info.
To the creators of this content, your work is amazing! I wish I could speak better English so I could transmit what I want to say... The channel is awesome.
It's only a matter of time till we see an interrogation where the suspect is all like "Yeah I've seen all the Jim Can't Swim videos, you can't do shit to me" and they still get their ass handed to em
“It’s hard to believe this is happening “ I’m sure his poor frightened ,abused, and assaulted victims thought exactly the same thing. They were about to die,, Russell. Dear RUSS, is safe and will get 3 meals a day for the rest of his very pathetic life. The hours of torture those ladies went thru is mind boggling. It’s worse when a person in a position of power and trust abuses it in such a vile manner. Do you notice The detective is using some of the the exact same phrases as the detectives used to Jodi Arias and Chris Watts, in their interrogations?
Unusuals by Jim I mean the detective, he uses phrases such as “how do you want the public to perceive you?l and this is your chance to tell your story “ etc, detectives go to interrogation “school”, so I suppose they get taught similar techniques to use, Chris Watts had similar in his interrogation too,
@Andreana Phelps laying Emphasis on the "expertise" of the woman doing the Polygraph Test in Watts case, is similiar to the interrogator claiming to have a world renowned footprint expert in this video
@Sup Hm ok, the english colonel sounds very slurred though. Why not pronounce it like in french or at least say colonel accurately as in colonie or coronel as in coroner? But I guess audial aesthetics were not the goal in adopting the term
How stupid do you have to be to imagine that footwear impressions are as unique to an individual as their fingerprints? I wouldn't have bought that when I was 10 years old.
Thats his pineal gland trying to push upwards putting pressure on the skull like a tiny weed through concrete, as a consequence the pressure on the hairs root kills the hair in that spot or the hair itself becomes enlightened in this process only when the gland is opened full bore, that or he got teabagged real hard for a duration suffocating the hair in that spot.
What sucks is I'm entering middle age (39) and I've noticed my hairline is following this pattern. I don't wear my hair like that so you can't tell yet but I see it. It really sucks, I wish there was something I could do to change it.
@ourtime-downhere shave your head I guess is all you can do. Or embrace it, no one really cares about someone's hairline that much, granted I'm the one that made a joke about it but in reality there's not much to be too embarrassed about. I know 20 y/o's with bad hairlines, just how the world is I guess.
ReggieSpaghetti yeah, it is what it is. Just hard to get used to after having a full head of hair for all my life but I am fortunate it didn't happen in my 20's for sure. At least haircuts will be free from here on out!
That moment when he actually breaks and admits to it astounds me. I just don't understand how he even allowed himself to get into this type of situation. The amount of lies, manipulation, and deceit used to illicit this type of response is amazing as well. He not only masterfully keeps stability using any of these methods he manages to listen to a man horrifically describe beating and strangling a woman to death like their talking about breakfast.
how is it possible that the wife has not noticed hundreds of intimate clothes of different sizes hidden in the house? He does not care about the families of the victims, but only about his wife, who, as far as I read around, fought to NOT compensate (with the part of the property belonging to him) these families.
How the fuck do i get hand cuffed during seat belt infractions and fishing expeditions but rapist murderers are allowed to freely move about .. what happened to officer safety
@AshamedMusic • Look, I can make things easier for you but you'll have to work with me here. Investigators are on the way to your grandma's place and I can tell you things are not going to be pretty once they find something. Anything. Your time to preserve some credibility is running out. What was the aforementioned snapple's flavor?
@AshamedMusic • Ok. Good. Very good. What did you do with the bottle. This is important. It's family is very worried and we'd really like to know what happed to it. Was your interaction with the bottle sexual?
ZecoRho I’m not sure. I was thirsty. That’s all I’m saying. It could have been peach flavored as well. Like I said I’m not 100%!! Can I have a water please this room is hot.
@AshamedMusic • Continues to scribble down the motive Good, good. Agent Turtles should be back soon with some water. In the mean time, while there is just the two of us, I want to get into some less food-friendly details. I realize it's been eleven years and you know what decay does to a corpse. Still we need to know the current state of the bottle in question. It will help with the search. What levels of defilement are we looking at here? I'm specifically asking about the neck and the label. Take your time, I know this is hard.
ZecoRho I don’t recall seeing one, I usually look for the happy messages on the inside of the lid but I don’t recall looking. Did something happen to the Snapple that I’m not understanding? I didn’t peel anything off! What kind of a sicko do you think I am? I had a friend named Valkyrie that was with me they took a sip as well. This was 10-15 yrs ago I can’t remember anything.
@AshamedMusic • The snapple bottle was found bearing mortal injuries. Neck was broken and inside of the lid was ripped. All labels were removed while the bottle was still leaking. Saliva samples recovered from (what remained of) the neck point to you as the sole suspect but we cannot discard the possibility that a separate container was used, like a glass. Now, since you've named another suspect I'll have to ask you to be more specific. When and where did you and @Valkyrie carry out this deed?
@Valkyrie You were called in today on the suspicion that you were present and partook in the brutal defilement of the Snapple Bottle. There is no direct evidence pointing to your guilt but I'd like to interview everyone just to be sure. I'd rather let 10 criminals walk free than put 1 innocent behind bars. So here's the question. Are you familiar with @2fast4u 87? They claim you were their friend 10-15 years ago.
ZecoRho I didn’t do anything wrong!! I swear to god. Why would I do such a thing. That’s disgusting. Only a sicko would do something like that. If I remember right we were in Illinois and I have the bottle to Valkyrie after I downed about half of it. I don’t know of anything else. I’ve never raped anything and you know it god dammit!!
@ZecoRho The water jug was empty so I grabbed him a drink from the vending machine! (SLAMS DRINK ON TABLE) too preoccupied with Agent Zeco's successful interogation and not realizing the gravity of his mistake! Both look on in horror as the glass label reads........ Snapple!
Valkyrie I’m just glad that we’re ok. Idk who or what happened to the Snapple bottle. It was a bottle I do know that I remember Valkyrie popping the lid when it was closed still checking if it had a good life still, or was gonna expire. That’s all I remember cause when I left I seen Valkyrie fall I fell off my bike as well and had some things to do.....
@AshamedMusic • @Valkyrie I better stop here. Your stories don't match up at all. The trails are cold. The only thing we have is @2fast4u 87's DNA and we can't prove the interaction wasn't consensual. Alas, I can't let you leave quite yet.
This unsolved case has been a stain on our department's record. 11 years we had struggled. Every efficiency review. Every question that we were supposed to answer. Every ounce of the public's trust that has slowly silipped between our fingers... pen breaks
But it ends now. Both prime suspects are in the palms of my hands. Sure, we will be reprimanded for acting on a cold trail and spending 11 years. But your faux testimonies will sooth the dissent. Don't worry. Your identities will remain concealed. You will return to your homes, your families and your lives. Your impersonators will serve a life sentence somewhere far away. So far away, not even investigative journalists will dare search for them. And the best part is; They need only exist on paper. Ahh the joys of information age...
Agent @iLikeTurtles, bring all the Snapple you can reasonably obtain while I set up an audio recorder.
He either wanted to know what they had on him, he thought he was invincible and he could talk his was out of whatever they had on him, or he actually wanted the notoriety and felt like it was his time.
Yea impatience is bad. If they have something on you, you will find out anyway. If they don't... well you are lucky never to know what they had. Or you may even have the right to know these days if you just ask later. Or is it routine to later inform you have been a subject of investigation even if it went nowhere?
That's logical if you are innocent or sitting there because of something you perceive as unjust, ridiculous, or meaningless. This man is a murderous fraud who knew he would look even more suspicious if he stood up and left. More so, as preponderant and conceited as he is, he obviously wanted to know how much they knew to subsequently try to confuse the interrogator - to lie his way out of the tight squeeze he was in. Sure, the fear of incriminating himself had to be there (he did) but he knew he was there because evidence was already pointing his way and walking out was not going to change that.
Forensic science has come so far. Also methods of interrogation as I learn from this video. It gives me chills .I'm glad we have those expert detectives on our side. It is sad that it would be a military person. A high-ranking officer that committed such hideous crimes.
They say that, and then they arrest you as you taking your things. Its a known tactic.. they never bring their prime suspect in to interrogation room unless they can officially arrest him. Or at least, its very rare(would be very dumb thing to do).
@patty109109 sure, it happens.. as I said, its rare(considering how big of a population US have, its rare). Usually they prepare everything, IF they think you are their main suspect. SuspectS is a different thing, means they are still gathering info. But technically they could still arrest you for 48h, if they think its vital for the investigation.
Yeah if you're going to grab a lawyer other wise you will just become even more suspicious. What innocent person wouldn't want to clear there name out of a multiple homicide investigation that's going on in their own neighborhood. It would be in your best interest to clear your name and help get to who really did it (even if you did it)
@Lara Keller Exactly, never talk to the cops. All lawers will tell you that even if you're innocent it's always a bad idea to talk to the cops because you can accidentally give false info and then have that used as evidence in a case against you potentially resulting in a wrongful conviction.
@Charles Ferguson True, but once they charge you, you lawyer up and give the police as little as possible. This was advice given to me by a police sergeant.
I think the thought process is 'if I leave now they'll think I don't want to talk to them because I'm guilty so I'm just going to hang out here and refute all his accusations' Obviously it didn't work out that way.
@MrCompassionate01 Oh I know. But thought process < prison. A number of these individuals are snakes, trying to throw someone in jail and close a case. Why aren't there repercussions for interrogators who wrongfully imprison someone? Maybe that'd help level the playing field a bit.
@Charles Ferguson If they were able to arrest him at that point for any reason, HE'D BE under arrest. At the point he was told that, he was not charged with a crime, yet. Being shady as fuck and them having their suspicions, with some circumstantial evidence is not a crime. I'm in no way defending the guy, those are just the logical facts of the situation at that point.
I saw another interview some time ago where the suspect wore the same shoes to the interview that he wore at the crime scene. He screwed himself when he decided to put his foot on the desk, and one of the cops recognized the tread as the tread evidence they recovered at the crime scene.
Ya I don’t get that. Just shave it. It’s like hanging on for dear life. Don’t understand why guys don’t just give up on their hair. I love my hair tho. I’m 36 and a guy with long hair halfway down my back. If my hairline ever starts vanishing which is scary to me, I’ll give up on my long hair. I’m enjoying it and hoping my age is past the point where I probably would of started losing it by now.
He was tall enough that most people couldn't actually see that balding spot, so it kind of makes sense. It's right in the camera for us to see, but most people on ground level wouldn't notice.
This channel legitimately creates the best content bar none. The work thats put into these videos is mind blowing. Very unique, breaking down the psychology for a average guy like me to consume. Thankyou. Bravo. Top notch material
hey dont mak fun of canadas hero at least he never painted his face or played pong games, said for the girls who loved this guy and rember no gun was used by the victim
Honestly tho, they had interviewed a woman who had been with the police force for some time and she broke under pressure and looked super guilty the whole time
@Ash Walkerthisway Yeah if you are guilty you will always go into a kind of fight or flight mode which automatically make you look guilty when talking.
I think this is the primary reason why I hate police drama. Not to beat you down or anything, these thoughts just came to my mind after reading your comment. You might not even be part of what I'm going to say.
Police drama show the investigators and such being extremely unprofessional. Child gets raped and the investigators are screaming throwing a tantrum because their sweet justice can't seem to reach the possible perp. That's just not how professionals work and if they are doing that in front of or in hearing distance of defense lawyer their case is fucked. So people get wrong ideas of how things work and I hate it.
Well for starters the detective isn't a girl so I doubt he wasn't exactly afraid, but you also have to be very calm and composed to interrogate someone
Not only that, the interrogator even asked him if he watched these types of shows! Gave him additional hints as to what he could do to, at the very least, delay his confession!
@Tarzan they didn´t have dna, they were bluffing. The only thing they had were the tracks. The boots he gave up himself and even with them it´s hardly evidence, anyone can have boots like that.
Everything pointed to him the tires, the SUV, the close vicinity of his home to the victims, the previous allegations and the mounting crimes. They would have got him eventually.
While he failed in the mental chess spectacularly, agreed that he did manage to hold it together amazingly well considering his situation. Very high functioning psychopath.
love your videos and love Jim Smyth. do you know if there is an unedited version of the entire interview? thanks for the good work. i am a coffee guy!! lol
Rewatching this a second time. As good as the interrogator is, as others have pointed out, Russell was probably ready to get caught / talk. I’m not sure how to explain it, I feel like this wasn’t one of the best interrogations I’ve seen on this channel.
I may be mistaken, but i think it has something to do with the law, like if he ejaculated, it's rape, but if he didn't, it's sexual assult. I'm porbably wrong but i swear I've heard something like that.
@archerace7 alright, so say they had a gun. How many of them would actually be willing to pull the trigger in a fight or flight situation? How many people would just freeze up instead and be disarmed? Just having a gun doesn't mean they'd have had the will to use it, especially under duress. The number of armed people who do nothing in active shooting situations is proof of that.
but the fellow military officer, maybe--speaking of, do they make canadian military officials leave their firearms at work or are they allowed to be armed at home?
@Romantic Outlaw Well Hypothetically who knows....on the other hand better to have a chance at surviving as opposed to siting there and taking a bullet with no response.
On the other hand there is the deterrent factor....Just knowing that there is the possibility that the intended victim is armed, would have a very high percentage chance of persuading a bad guy from not trying in the first place.....If there is 0 chance of being confronted with an armed victim, the bad guy is going for it every time.
I have no idea what the Canadian Military allows their members to do...luckily I do not live there.....but judging from the people they have in charge i.e. Col. David Russell Williams, They obviously have pretty low standards.
I personally would much rather be armed, than not, in a situation. Of course if you want to be a sitting duck, that is your option.
@archerace7 fair points. Personally, I'm not convinced I could shoot an attacker, and I'd be concerned that a gun being available would just give them a gun to use on me that they otherwise might not have had (you know, in a hypothetical situation where an attacker got screened through a process that determined that they shouldn't be allowed to have a gun because they're likely to attack someone with it).
But I also just wouldn't trust myself with a gun in the house, given my occasional suicidal ideation. It would be far too easy of an out for me. Or if there was never a scenario in which I actually needed it to defend myself, and a child got a hold of it and killed themselves. Being armed isn't worth that risk to me. I can make do with much less lethal modes of defense. Frankly, I could even live with tasers being allowed to the public, with proper oversight.
at the end of the day, I don't think guns are a magic bullet, so to speak, to stopping or preventing any crime. The death penalty isn't sufficient deterrent for killers, I doubt open carry would be. I also don't think there is a magic bullet that would solve crime. That would be completely impossible without literal mind control, which wouldn't be acceptable.
I do think they can help certain people in certain situations, but I think someone with a gun but little to no gun safety training and little to no regulation is more dangerous than no gun at all
There is 26 unlisted videos, you can find them all on his Patreon for as little as 1 dollar per month. I really reccommend it if you love this channel and want more.
Wow! What a truly superb video. So clear, and (Sadly) graphic. I can honestly say this was THE best video I have ever watched on YouTube. I have subscribed and look forward to more.
We see a lot of rambling lies in interrogations, pointed out as excessive information to questions. And contrasting to “how an innocent person would answer.” Interesting to see the demonstration here, where Russ answers Jim’s questions and only elaborates through more questions
I feel weird about giving these videos because of the horrific crimes committed. The breakdown of the interrogation from a psychological perspective is very intriguing
11:00 as the interrogator tells him about the different crimes that took place he nodded along to each, coming across to me like he wanted him to know that he knew about each incident like he had some "top secret " knowledge about them all.
I hope more people start living with their friends and family, especially in remote, high crime or low light areas - research shows that firearm, taser or mace training won't solve the primary problem of panic causing the victim to freeze up or forget they have the defense item, especially if they're smaller than or are intimidated by the attacker. The kind of thorough instinct retraining that most military and police get is hard to access in the most remote (and thus high risk) areas and aren't super cheap or time effective. It's one of those things where i feel like the most at need people aren't best serviced by small defense items. At least guard dogs have their own instinct training!
Actually dogs are pretty shit at security. Most of the time you'll be spoiling the animal with love and it'll get used to humans, even ones breaking and entering. Get a gun and start attending jiu-jitsu classes that do a lot of sparring. NOT self-defense classes. You'll be given a false sense of security and the terror when defending yourself and realising your technique is worthless will certainly overwhelm you, rendering you useless in a fight for your life. Jiu-jitsu with lots of sparring (preferably with larger men) and a gun is the way to go. Or maybe a few guns around the house just to be sure.
@Lu2na m8 You ever owned a dog? No dog I've been around has let people in without at least one bark, especially if it's people they aren't familiar with. Dogs are dope.
Edit: And the point is not for the dog to attack anyone. Where I live it will get the owner in trouble. They alert and have much better senses than humans. That's something.
@Kym Charles I can partially agree as I have a chihuahua who is a great alarm but that's about it. He left a gnarly scar on my ex's face but still, 10lbs is easily puntable. My cat, however, is over 35lbs. Not fat, just freaking huge. On his back legs he's taller than the light switches and door knobs in my house. He's primarily a sweetheart but his claws do damage. My fiance played too rough and needed stitches. But most importantly, the big oaf just stops short and has literally made everyone that frequents my house just fall over. He'd buy me some time 🤣
i'm not fond of dogs but I know how to use a knife and took self defense classes, so if you're more of a cat or goldfish person, this could work too. I suppose a dog gives you warning but if you've watched John Wick... :,-(
@Stuart Boyd the dog's job is to alert you to danger, and i bet that dog did its job with unconditional loyalty to the very end. you wouldn't expect an alarm system to also fire bullets and kill the intruder. the dog is your sidekick, and you are his/her hero.
I have 2 pitbulls, one who was rescurd after being a guard dog with no affection for the first 3 years of his life. They are not good for security lmao. Spoiled babies who expect momma to protect them. Granted, I've never been in true danger, but I did have a scare with a tweaker screaming into my windows and the only one who rushed to protect us was the cat lmao. Everyone should have a real security system and emergency plans for their homes to be safe.
@Meridia's Bacon You know now that I've thought about it. Having like 3-4 dogs would probably also be a good deterrent. I was only considering a situation where you have 1 dog, which is pretty standart here in Czechia. But having like 3 german sheperds would most likely make a robber/house invader pick someone else's house.
@Lu2na m8 More than two livestock guardian dogs and no one will surprise you. What's amazing about them is that they form "guard duties" on their own, so that there will always be at least one awake. But they won't do well unless you live in the countryside, so there's that. And you'll really have to know how to treat dogs well if you get them. German shepherds need good training as well.
Edit: I love Prague, btw. It's more beautiful than Paris, and had the best goulash I've ever eaten there. Been to Hungary where it's basically national food and it didn't even come close. Wish I would've had time and means to travel elsewhere in Czech Republic as well.
@bob penison the dog's job isn't to "take down" adults. the dog's job is to warn you that YOU may need to take down an adult. they are an alarm. works better than the cat who just sits and watches in silence.
My girlfriend hated my dog at first because he doesn't trust anyone and would charge her every time she came in with me. Now that he trusts her, he protects her like he does with me and she loves him. No one's getting past Duke without losing a limb.
Rottweilers only bark when they see danger they don't bark at every human walking by. They wait for the intruder to jump ur fence then they go beast mode i recommend any one to get Rottweiler for protection i remember i was young boy and walking my rotty at the park early in the morning. And this sketchy looking junky made a b line straight to me on the grass oval and boy did my rotty go off and boy did that guy shit his pants and plead with me not to let my dog go lol God bless Rottweilers
@Biological Warfare it's just that a lot of burglars say they have no issue with robbing someone even if they have a dog, the best deterrent is locks on your windows.
@Lu2na m8 I've read somewhere that as soon as thieves hear dogs they turn the other way,(LITTERALLY)) the day I got rid of my old rotty my backyard has people in it stealing at night. I guess what ur saying is right with any other dog but when it comes to big dogs and rottys I think no one is robbing that house :P
Yeh ild rob ur house if u had a mutt little bitch rolling on its back ( golden retriever) but if u had a big scary German Rottweiler oooo brother no thank you
@Joshua White Right. I'm just saying that most people won't have that. If you are an average person with an average dog, you shouldn't bet on him to be a deterrent to burglars/home invaders. But if you choose to get one for protection I won't judge you, it just wouldn't be my go to security measure.
@PittyPatterPutZZler the woman killed in this case had a cat that sat there and did nothing to warn her. nothing you've said has any relevance to my point that a dog would've alerted her to an intruder, unlike the cat.
@Meridia's Bacon The issue with dogs are is some bad guys know how to deal with them. Give them a treat or whatever. Then when you hear a small noise you just assume the dog got up and you think nothing of it.
I think it's because people love to talk about their interests with others. When a person's interest is something like this, it's not really something they can share. So once they finally have that opportunity, they like to take it and tell their stories
You have to read the book camouflaged killer by David Gibbs, it tells the entire extent of his horrific crimes and describes the videos he took while hurting his victims, he is a horrible person. It’s a tough read, but if you can handle it the book gives a In-depth look into the mind of the Psychopath
Canadians are so nice.. The interrogators treat the suspect with the utmost respect and the suspects give up everything the interrogator wants to know, and even shakes their hand..
I don’t think a psychopath would give out this information so easily. If this guy was truly intelligent a common psychopath would lie. But I don’t understand why he’s telling the truth, he could’ve easily gotten away with all of this by using his image as a colonel to escape justice. First time I’ve ever seen a murderer not lie.
*Sometimes I imagine being interrogated, probably being as guilty as ever but just remaining silent..knowing what I know now, I can't believe he bought all the bull this "inerrogator" spewed...especially about shoe prints... I probably would have.believed it as well but then again I'm a civilian
At around the 56:33 time of this video, you can hear the suspect say "pardon me" after missing what the detective said. This is a common tactic for criminals to subconsciously suggest that they should be pardoned.
38:16 Detective: And I want to know why ? After 24 full seconds, Suspect: I dont know what to say . Half a minute ? Honesty is a reflex , theres no reflex answer there . He is the one.
Meena devi dasi No amount of marital discord can lead a husband to multiple break-ins, hoarding of thousands of stolen underwear, multiple rapes and murders of women. In fact, it’s more likely that a stable marriage might’ve delayed his acting on his fantasies until so much later than would be expected.
I secretly wish these killers knew the tactics that these "interrogators"used and knew that all they want is to get a confession so they should just accept what you did an CALL A GOSH DARN LAWYER! simple
Yayy!! An hour long video examining another Canadian criminal!!! Thank you Jim Can't Swim !! I'm loving all these interrogations from criminals from my home country, so interesting!
That "what are we going to do" is incredibly irritating and I 100% believe it would make people crack.

Sorry for the maybe distasteful use of this but, spoiler alert this detective killed it. He broke this man just short of an hour. Even sooner, if you wanna get technical. Tony Hinchcliffe turned me on to this.
I just wanted to say that after months of not getting round to it, I recently set up a Patreon account to subscribe to Jim Can't Swim and honestly I'm blown away. The sheer amount of content is mind-boggling and all are of typical JCS standard. $1 per month.
Basically, if you have been considering subscribing to Jim Can't Swim on Patreon, honestly just do it.
If I was a Killer I'd deny and die with the lie. Ask yourself this, with the police have a slam dunk case and they truly got you, why would they continue to talk to you to try and obtain a confession? I'd be thinking I'm probably not as fucked as they're saying I am if they continue to talk to me
Detective: you know why you are here?? Me: ok you got me at the age of 15 i stole my dad's credit card at 18 i slaped one of friend at the age of 21 i cheated on my girl friend what more do you want
They should be happy they caught this guy. Seems like a really poor person in his position. Most people in his rank would know everything the interrogator was about to say and would have an answer for everything.
Not only he conducted the interview in a flawless manner, he also wanted to work on his field without any kind of lights upon him.
That's how you recognize the best of the best.
WTF is with that blotch of hair on his head?!! The detective never got to that question!!! I guess no one ever told him it makes him look like a raping murderer, I literally spent an hour looking at a patch of hair trying to figure out why it would grow like that, and why he would keep it! Wow I need a life
While doing the crimes, he must have known that eventually it would all end up like this? So he must have thought that the fun of killing girls is all worth a situation like this; loosing everything and spending the rest of his life in jail!?
I’ve seen the full interrogation but man was I happy to see you break this down. You do it like no other on YouTube. I work in a criminal defense law office and we all gather around during lunch to watch your videos. Thanks again!
I ALWAYS end up thinking I'm the one that's guilty of the crime on these videos. I be soooooooo scared like I'm the one in trouble! Really tense; these interrogation vids! LOL
14:06 I've always had an issue with people being accused of being guilty because they're behaving nervous. as stated by the narrator "discomposure was emanating from the suspect". I worked at a railway station that got the contents of the safe stolen (the thief used a key) overnight and I was the person to arrive in the morning to open up the ticketing office. I was interrogated by the police as I had worked at another station (as part of my roster) that had an almost identical robbery. So I was the main suspect I was nervous and I was innocent. Ultimately they caught the offender, he was a casual staff member and would of had access to the keys and would have been able to make copies. But in my interrogation I was probably behaving nervous and second guessing my answers so as to not implicate myself. I was also emanating discomposure and a few other things!!
Any thoughts on how people deviate this far? Lack of restraint is uncharacteristic of someone so accomplished in the military, maybe repression is one of the main factors here?
Truly amazing detective and if he has children, they could never lie to him, lol. What I find even more respectable about Detective Smith is he has apparently turned down any interview regarding this. Clearly he's not looking for fame but just doing his job.
I think his request to be called Russ rather than Russell right when a confession seems like his only door is significant. Like he can tell a friend but not someone so distant from him, like an authority figure, that he calls him Russell. Anyway, at least he says "I raped her" instead of "she was raped" or "it happened." I hate that. Dahmer & Kemper were very forthcoming in that regard. He even corrects the detective from "she suffocated" to "I suffocated her," which is pretty amazing.
It just shows the disassociation has already happened for these guys. They kill easily because they're already emotionally removed from the world around them. They might care about a few people, like this guy with his wife, but for everyone else, there's no empathy at all. They mostly just care about themselves, though. I feel for their victims, they had terrible experiences that shouldn't happen to anyone.
@sonyaethaniel Chewing gum can be used to prevent doors from closing correctly. In most prisons and jails it is contraband, not even the staff is permitted to bring it into the building.
You know he'd do it again. It's the nature of the beast. So glad he got caught. Great job of the detective. He probably saved countless lives. It's a horrible closure to the victims families. However, this psychopath is over.
@Everydaygear While people such as Williams obviously have some sort of mental and/or psychological condition to cause them to commit such crimes, and need to be permanently taken out of circulation, I'm always puzzled by comments such as yours, as if you yourself had some personal vendetta against the person. Especially when such comments include violent and/or graphic descriptions of what you would like to do to the person. It's almost as if you're overcompensating for some sort of shortcoming yourself - perhaps some guilt of your own you're trying to suppress. Often, the ones that scream the loudest for heads to roll are the very ones that deserve it the most. What about it, EverydayGear, ever rape or kill anyone? Or maybe you're "just" a peeper? Attracted to underage boys or girls maybe? Which is it?
@Scare Crow While people such as EverydayGear obviously have some kind of mental and/or psychological condition to cause them to comment on youtube videos, and need to be permanently taken out of circulation, I'm always puzzled by comments such as yours, as if you yourself had some personal vendetta against the person. Especially when such comments include violent and/or sexual descriptions of what you think they want to do to others. It's almost as if you're overcompensating for some sort of shortcoming yourself - perhaps some guilt of your own you're trying to suppress. Often, the ones that scream the loudest for heads to roll are the very ones that deserve it the most.
What about it, Scare Crow, ever rape or kill anyone? Or maybe you're "just" a peeper? Attracted to underage boys or girls maybe? Which is it?
I'm genuinely curious as to a reason why? Freud would have a field day with this sick creature I'm sure. And he himself cannot give a solid answer. No doubt there was a powerful sexual neurosis at work... but the same can be said of many nowadays, who never commit rape or murder. Being a military man perhaps, with a strong masculine inclination possibly added fuel to the fire of his condition? A mixture of unconscious factors converging towards a final act, interesting to think about I guess- but love and prayers firstly for the families who have been devastated by this horrendous man.
The one thing that I see as a glaring issue with the investigation is why the hell the detective didn't ask if he had ever done this before? With someone this evil, there is almost no chance he lead a perfectly law-abiding existence his whole life, then suddenly when he was fifty or whatever raped and murdered a few people in a short period of time. You don't go from zero to serial-rapist-and-murderer at the drop of a hat. It's built up to. This wasn't some crime of passion where a relatively normal person could snap and kill - this was rape and murder - meaning he probably developed severe issues with sex, violence, and control during puberty - these issues form while they're adolescents and growing up, not when we're middle aged, and they stick with them all through their lives . Rape and murder and kidnapping where he was confident enough to break into his victims' OWN homes, an unfamiliar area where he did not have the upper hand, rape them on their OWN beds, and then take the victim with him in his car to his own damn house in another city or suburb or whatever That takes serious confidence and a comfort in what he was doing - almost like it was routine - that only comes with experience. He's done this before - several times. He's raped before, definitely, and it's almost certain he's killed before. He doubtless has many victims, probably going back decades.
I never felt so sick in my life, I’m really in to the psychology of criminal minds but I have no idea how investigators not feel like vomiting hearing such a gruesome detail account of events.
Alex Baldwin desensitization. they deal with people like him so much that at some point they’re numb to their sick psychological patterns and actions. its sad really
I’m pretty sure he wore the boots on purpose to the interrogation. His god complex would have been rewarded if he left the interrogation without them noticing.
Yeah, probably wanted to rub it in the faces of the cops all around him that he had gotten away with so much already, and he was gonna get away with this, too.
excuZza I’m glad you brought this up because I was sitting here like “Wth? Why wear your murder boots to the police interview?” and now it makes sense.
Rule number one; never let your attacker take you to a second location; bite, scratch, go for the eyes (to be honest first and foremost go for the eyes, poke them as deeply as possible, like you're digging for gold)
At a second location your chances of escape/ posthumous incrimination are greatly reduced than at the initial scene of the crime where you can either save yourself or draw vital evidence from the villain's body at an ideal place for investigators to pick up and then use in the hunt for you.
I think the victims were blind folded so they couldn't see. They were also hands tied to the back. So fighting would have been no good. But yes, if my hands are free and can see, definitely would put up a fight.
There are rumours that Jim can swim. I suggested we try the REID technique to get him to confess. Then someone told me Jim is actually a she, so the rumour mill is working over time.
I love these videos. I’m always so engaged on the interrogation process. But when the suspect starts to unravel and the crime comes to full view I feel so ill and horrible. Such haunting crimes. I can only watch one of these each day before it comes too much. Hats off to the investigators that do this all the time, it must be so hard.
My job has long periods of great monotony where I essentially have to mindlessly punch words and numbers into a computer database. You make my day fly by JCS, keep up the great work!
This channel is amazing. The way you handle audio on a quiet feedback, and allow the story to tell its self. Rather than intersecting with sensationalist comments, and cheezy music. Really draws out the horrific nature of crime. And let's the gravity of the situation dawn on us. The same way it dawns on the killer as they're getting caught.
Never been more glad to run across a channel. Can’t believe a guy of his level didn’t lawyer up though. Insane. I think he was tired and in a way wanted to be done with what he was doing.
Agreed, the closing statement when asked if it would've happened again "I hoped it wouldn't, but I can't say for sure" tells me he was out of control and happy to be caught in some ways.
It's because he thought he was there to give information on his neighbour, who he was trying to frame for the murders (by dumping the body in an area of the woods where the neighbour goes deer hunting).
You also have to factor in that he was trying to frame his neighbour. Either a day or hours before he was called in, he had placed the body in the woods where his nextdoor neighbour was frequently go hunting. He probably thought he was called in to give a statement regarding the poor dude he as trying to pin the murder on.
I think the guy is actually somewhat proud of what he’s confessing. My take is that an inherent underlying motive of the crimes was that he liked taking truly insane risks and getting away of them, morality completely ignored. It became addictive and he had to graduate to rapes and murders from prowling and burglaries to get the same high.
Detective Staff Sergeant Jim Smyth is essentially the Leo Messi equivalent in the world of interrogations. Once he sets his mind to get you, there's nothing that can stop him. Such a legend!
love the channel man... much more interesting and better understanding with your short comments built into the story.... and a good voice for explanations...im in australia.. not so many interesting crimes down here so plenty to watch over that side of the world.... keep up the good work!!!!
So interesting how the detective burrows his way right into his head and basically hijacks his inner monologue. He might have well just said ‘open sesame!’ Got him hook, line and sinker 🎣
Morrigan Arianrhod Watch the Michael Rafferty interrogation on here. The guy is bitch made so badly that he ends up having a hissy fit and not talking.
I have been watching here on YouTube since it began, and when patreon hit, I could never see becoming a patron of anybody, and I'm in the retro gaming/gaming sphere, nothing but patreon as far as the eye can see for guys who get all the cool new, free game consoles and expensive mods, millions of views, and still need your money somehow. But I would definitely become a patron of JCS if I had extra cash. He's offering something not available on YouTube as far as certain cases, but obviously in his newer, awesome style that is an amalgamation of all types of genres of crime entertainment/investigation. I wanna see those other cases, hope a couple eventually make it here on YouTube.
Sad. I am glad he at least was forthcoming so that the families could have closure. It never seizes to amaze me how someone can kill anyone, especially an innocent person so ruthlessly. Sickening.
I have watched the actual interrogation a bunch of times but this is my first time here...love the analysis. Question, they said that Marie Franz Como was highly decomposed at the time of the discovery. I had the feeling both of the murders had taken place a fairly short time before the interrogation.
Not to disrespect military officers/pilots but when I was in the Navy their were two pilots from my base (NAS Oceana) that got busted for creepy things like this. One of them got caught peeping on a 16 year old in a dressing room and the other was grooming young girls on Facebook. There seems to be some type of correlation is all I'm saying. Most of the pilots were good guys though. I think there is just something with the power and prestige that comes with some of these military positions that exacerbates the criminal mind.
Hey JCS, great content and production quality. Im asking for a friend because I can quit anytime I want but will there be more anytime soon? Like a lot more? I'll let him know for you.
i love the multiple camera angles, and the audio is so good. I feel spoilt. There’s so many interviews out there filmed on like a 144p webcam across the other side of the room and the audio is muffled and there’s never any subtitles. This was just Chef Kiss
the pressure this detective put on this guy is insane. by the 50 minute mark its so obvious he has some thing to do with this but make no mistake, its because of the mental warfare the detective put on the criminal. Kudos detective, kudos!
that interrogator has the most true Canadian accent there is. i live in Ontario Canada and have visited the same air base this guy was a corneal stationed at because i was in air cadets when i was younger and had to spend a week there. its 100% spot on and i know to many people that sound like him and even use the same words like bud. if u want to sound Canadian speak like this man and everyone will believe u are Canadian
Lesson here kids, don’t wear the same shoes to your police interrogation that you wore on your rape/murder spree. Christ this channel is infinitely interesting, interrogators are sly as hell! Makes me feel guilty like I did it when I watch! Smh. Keep it up!
I think detective (?) Smyth is obviously skilled and talented at interrogations and there’s plenty out there that would not be nearly as successful at extracting a confession, that said it strikes me as though “Russ” seemed almost, umm, relieved or idk he never denied anything, I guess what I’m getting at is as much as I’m weighing the skill of symth, im Also considering the apparent willingness of Russ to confess? Which seems surprisingly willing....
that investigator is a legend for what he accomplished and how he didn't want to take any deals after the public found out how he handled it. im sorry if any family of the victims read my comments. sorry for your losses.
How can I track down the cases shown in the intro? I'll likely become a patreon subscriber but I'm curious how I can reference those episodes advertised here.
Yesss. People fail to appreciate this simple advice. Even defense attorneys have fucked themselves by talking to the police without getting a lawyer first
The issue with this guy is he'd never insist on an attorney at this point. Like most psychopaths he believes he's smarter than everyone else. It's a game for him at this point.
@Flag Ov Hate oh bullshit. If you're talking to an experienced interrogator who is asking appropriate questions and picking up on how you respond, AND you have a lawyer with you? And you're innocent? You walk away. 99.9% of the time, because you can easily talk your way out of it by just telling them everything.
@Mr Wolfe yes i agree with you. BUT guranteed you won't always have a skilled interrogator, but no matter what, you'd be best to have a lawyer with you.
Flag Ov Hate if you are truly innocent talking to the police is your best option while also having representation. Your lawyer will tell you if you are truly innocent to cooperate with police.
@Blake1720 yea exactly, the guy i was replying to made it seem like talking to the police and telling them everything, could no way possibly incriminate yourself, which is false. If you're talking to cops alone, you can easily say something which is true, but if they can somehow prove it isn't, well you're screwed.
For someone high up in the air force he gave up pretty quickly....first off, why would you wear the shoes to an interview....secondly, Anyone with common sense would've been able to tell a shoe print and tire marks mean f all. Shoulda asked for a lawyer as soon as the detective made allegations....almost seems like he wanted to be caught
in the us most veterans i know have either a mental issue or a drug issue to cope with what they went thru its really sad and i hope we end our unneccasary wars.
Imagine, having the power and prestige that Col. Williams had, and being willing to throw it all away because of a runaway fantasy life. I almost think executing a serial killer would be doing them a kindness, since an existence where you had no control over a murder fetish would seem like Hell on Earth to me.
It's very interesting how an innocent person acts vs a guilty person. Bc If I were picked up for ANYTHING that I didn't do I'm probably going to act a plum fool! Not only that my demeanor and everything that I would say just would be totally different. I'd also ask a ton of questions.
Funny how he went very confident thinking that he would cheat the investigator very easy, but then he notice that they already know that he did, and they just want him to confess it. I just ask myself if this was a isolated case of murder or if he always wanted to kill someone but never did ..
Help me here, there was a movie or tv show where the interrogator kept yelling "Did you do it!!!" to the suspect over and over. It was hilarious! It wasn't effective, but it sure was funny.
Instead of the generic health class for girls , these types of tapes should be shown along with how to profile possible abusers . How to act in these types of situations to live or to prolong the situation in hopes of contacting help
Its so hard to figure out though bc the one girl was compliant and did everything he wanted without issue. The other was aggressive and fought back. He killed them both
Meridia's Bacon no one is running around saying “hey boys, rape is ok”. But there are plenty of people who do teach their sons all kinds of things that amount to the same thing. And those people also teach their daughters to take it. I see and hear it often.
This guy was so unbelievable, someone doesn't get to be a pilot and a high ranking commanding officer unless they have an eye for detail, dates, numbers and noting people around them. All of his "umm" and "I dont remember that day" "I dont know what I did that week" are so unconvincing.
I have said this on other strings but although he is a murderer, I do respect the fact that he confessed....he didn't stretch the thing out. He got caught, he knew it and he confessed to everything.
From every serial rapist murderer ever, he's the only one who truly fkn terrifies me to my core! Watching every single detailed interview with every victim shows he is truly a heinous monster!
I've watched this interrogation before. It's by far the best interrogation out there. Jim Smith is a hero and amazing at his job. The JCS analysis was brilliant as always. Best hour and 8 minutes I've had in a long time.
The fact that a Colonel showed up to a Corporals house to rape and murder her is an extra layer of depravity. It'd be like Steve Jobs breaking in and murdering some random Apple store employee, there's so many levels between them that it's just gotta make the situation even more terrifying.
"What we're gonna do is we're gonna start off by going through what your rights are just like everybody else ." jesus christ this man really knows how to knock a guy down a peg.
Everyone's saying how good the investigator is. He's doing pretty straight forward job. For more cunning interrogators watch the Chris watts interrogation.
Russell was just ready for this moment. The years of crime was something he couldn't reconcile with his soldier personality. With one if his personalities on the side of the law he always knew he can't run forever
not me forgetting once again that the video starts with a clip of a patreon video and being veryyyy confused as to why theres a woman but its about a colonel russell
Thank you for your service Officer. Your professionalism is something to be proud of. I say thank your for your service because your are clearly receiving emotional and psychological harm from conducting your craft. You are truly making a sacrifice in subjecting yourself to this injury in the service of your community.
I worked with a woman that knew her. If Jessica would have had a fire arm he'd be in the dirt where he belongs. Shit like this makes me want to teach my son or daughter to shoot. What a monster. How in the f*k did he get away with this shit at so many dif houses. Ace work detectives.
You really got to wonder what else he has done. For him to start this last in life just seems weird. Seem sick sexual perversions are on the rise from hurting women to children its every where you look. An for all the wins with psychoanalyzing how many have got away. Wonder what the precedent of wins they get with this.
This one is hard to stomach for me, his nonchalant attitude. The truth was easier for him than most for sure. Hard to believe he was a Colonel in the Canadian Military.
Hey there! just became a 5$ patreon and thought i'd say thanks for the content! im very new to it, just watched this video yesterday. but like some others have said, what you added to the video was awesome. Personally, i dont watch too many interrogation videos but i love psychology and understanding what makes us tick. Why we make the decisions we do, what drives us to them, nature vs nurture etc. Im pretty good at reading body language so that's a big one for me too lol observing people as they try to deceive is very interesting.
So again, everything you added about the techniques used while interrogating was just awesome! im going to go back to really understand them more and take notes. i just watched a few seconds to get an example and got stuck watching again haha. was really excited to see you had more content on patreon. Im only a patron to 2 others and ive watched them for years so that says a little bit about your content ;) hope it helps and keep at it!
Normal Rapists wouldnt even call it rape out of shame and dignity. This psychopath just said "i raped her and then ditched her", all with a calm voice. Truly haunting.
I was thinking about that, I think I'd just say "okay, thanks, you can speak to my lawyer" but at the time he's probably trying to remain so innocent that his minds racing with potential warning signs or red flags.
"Please take a seat. Coffee?" "Nice try, detective but I've seen enough Jim Can't Swim videos to know your coffee is part of an elaborate strategy to break me. Check. Mate."
I feel like he wanted to get caught. He knows enough about law enforcement to have asked for an attorney but didn’t. He barely made an excuse. He says at one point, “I hope it wouldn’t have happened again” when asked if he would have struck again. He also expressed great shame when he found out his wife knew. Jig was up.
I remembered a junky who would come and talk to a detective several times telling him that he knows nothing and that he just comes over because the detective gives him coke. It worked 😄
They would have just arrested him at that point probably. They clearly had enough evidence to do so. The way they did it was probably to reduce the possibility of the suspect asking for a lawyer.
@Simon Curtis maybe to detain him, but in the video it said they clearly did not have enough evidence to convict him. If he tried to walk out, them detaining him would most likely lead to him asking for a lawyer. At that point the game is pretty much up for the detective.
It's not that easy to just leave, there is a thought process in everyone's head. Most people will stay, either because they are trying to act innocent or are confident in their innocence.
Not much point, they can still call you back in or come and arrest you if they need to. The statement is just to test how honest you're willing to be with them.
CeeJay well, I am glad, that this person is off the street right ? Don’t do illegal stuff and you don’t have to worry about the police or having a lawyer and what not....
Or people can just refuse to go with the police in the first place. If I'm not under arrest, I see no reason to go down to the station. If I am under arrest, I'll talk through a lawyer.
They say, even if innocent, never talk to police. There are countless cases where they had no evidence, and people self incriminate. Yet, years later... Get proven they were not guilty.
CeeJay Yup! Exactly. The justice system is not about “justice.” It’s a game. One which the vast majority of us don’t understand the rules. When people try to play the game with experts who know all the ins and outs, they lose every time. Doesn’t matter if you’re innocent. Doesn’t matter if you don’t want to appear like you’re guilty or not. All that matters is...don’t play the game without an expert in your corner—and you’re no expert.
@Nostalgia For Infinity lol i think once you on that seat in that room, things change no matter what man hahaha. the best you can do is just set your mind state into lie mode. i'd just figure, they will lie to me to say stuff so i'll lie to them about stuff, i will not recall too much. as soon as i'm told that i can go at anytime, i tell them to keep it snappy, coz i got about 30 minutes hahaha. let the run before me...then keep looking at my watch every 5 minutes.
Then they’d probably arrest you, usually they just say that to you to give you the illusion of freedom even tho they have enough evidence to keep you their for interrogation
@Simon Curtis Doesn't matter, he would have still had a way better case if he didn't say anything. When talking to police, say nothing, at all. Anything you say can and will be used against you even if you're innocent. There's no benefit to saying anything.
@David Parry I totally agree 100% guilty or innocent. Say absolutely nothing or as little as possible. If you are not under arrest or being lawfully detained leave immediately. If you are not allowed to leave say nothing until your lawyer arrives.
😆Everyone in this thread talking about 'lawyer-ing up' and how they'd leave the room really disrespecting the intelligence of the police in these modern times. I hope you keep your nose clean cause you all don't seem to get the point of being in an interrogation room situation.
@Travis Bowen It's not about disrespecting the intelligence of the police, it's about not incriminating yourself and fully confessing. I really hope you keep your nose clean because you'd probably end up just talking like this guy.
@mcnuggets ferg i'll be fine, don't worry. I'll stress it once more, if you do anything illegal, do not underestimate the intelligence of today's and tomorrow's police system. It is the community and the factual information we give that assists the police. (staying quiet amd having a lawyer is smart and while I am not advising against that, these tactics delay investigation and man hours and do more to hint to your guilt to the untrained or lazy.) If you are guilty , you already know you are guilty at your core. Think on this before it ends up in the situations we see plentiful of on this awesome channel. Have a good day Mr McFerg*. God Bless and thank you for your thoughtful reply.
Sorry if I have zero to no empathy for people trying to not take responsibility for their actions. Your mindset is defensive and, in my opinion, outdated. We don't have to go back and forth in the comments. I understand your stance and you have read mine.
Anyone else reading, cooperation with the police in a crime you have commited just ends the problems in this world. If you are innocent, then information you have or don't have will show that; If not, stop being ignorant and relinquish the notion that if you are brought into an interrogation room that the police have nothing or rely on your compliance to act or will just stop looking at you if you walk out or lawyer up.
And stating again, being quiet and or deciding to lawyer up can have the opposite effect you are going for as to an untrained investigator it might rub off as guilt. Look up examples and stay safe and positive in this life.
Of course it's going to look guilty. Still better than incriminating yourself needlessly though. If the police are interrogating you they're out to get you, they aren't trying to help they aren't being friendly they are building a case against you. Anyone reading this I would strongly advise to say nothing at all to the police.
Never talk to an interrogator without a lawyer. Even if you’re completely innocent. That detective is trained and you are not, he has the advantage in every way. It would be like you taking your car to race Lewis Hamilton. I think an innocent person is more likely to walk out and get a lawyer. I think a criminal sociopath would believe they could outsmart the police.
Gooby Tron exactly. That and don’t show your face if the media is after you, I’ve seen some shows where the person whom got arrested put a sheet over their head every time they left the police station and it paid off big time because they were innocent but the media would’ve had a field day!
G Man There are plenty of innocent people that have gone to prison for something they said or did incorrectly in an interview. I was trained in interrogation and I can tell you that it is not very hard to confuse people into saying something that you want them to say. There are many psychological techniques that are used so that someone who is tired, stressed or diminished in Some capacity may say something inculpatory without realizing it. A good lawyer can save you from yourself. Unless you you want to be the only guy in the room with no training or experience. An innocent person needs a lawyer more than a guilty one. Besides that it’s your right under the constitution. Why would you waive any of your constitutional rights?
Never EVER talk to police, guilty or innocent. It never will never do you any good and only do you harm. Ask any criminal defense lawyer if you think otherwise.
@El-ahrairah then they take the coffee cup you drank from after you throw it away and use it to get your DNA. They need a warrant to get you to give it to them. They dont if you leave it on stuff in the trash
MR SK1LLFUL you’d say that if you’re innocent. But not if you were guilty. Which is why he’s still sitting there. He was already on the hook, they just needed to reel him in.
Mike M I’m not sure why I take the bait when trolls act like idiots on YouTube, but are you aware that an ATTORNEY and a LAWYER are the same thing? Perhaps I am assuming a certain level of intelligence...but they are essentially the same. They may have different laws in different countries, just in case you want to split hairs over that as well, but they basically do the same job...do I need to clarify for you, or...? I certainly do not want to assume you possess a level of intelligence that you don’t. And...you seem quite slow. No offense.
I love how his body posture gets more and more defensive. At the start he has his arms down, then after some time he takes one arm up around his body to "protect" himself and then later he crosses both arms in front of him to shield of.
This one was so difficult to watch because I usually think of them as psychopaths that are completely devoid of compassion and feelings, but he’s clearly capable of love. He loved his wife enough not to want to hurt her sexually or mentally in all the aftermath of his crimes. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a disgusting scum bag, I just hate seeing that he has actual emotions.
I believe that William's show of concern for his wife's feelings is faked to win the interviewer's sympathy. I doubt that this egotistical narcissist understands what it is to love another person. Psychopaths have no shortage of emotions, but those emotions all relate to themselves, not others. To me Williams looks like he could be reeling emotionally from the shock of realising that not one single person he knows, his wife included, will ever want to speak to him or see him again. And that he is now completely alone. He certainly didn't cope at all emotionally after his arrest, because he became suicidally depressed and tried to kill himself, 2 months later.
I would feel so freaking edgy around this guy. I mean he KILLED some people in cold blood. Damn!! But I guess this detective has been through a lot of these. Creepy!!!
Being told the heinous murder, in detail, is what I find most disturbing. It's like a psychologist hearing about calamities and madness all day long. It has to affect one over time.
@Provelda You're the one claiming to be an expert. Can you justify what you said with any documentation? A C- on first year psych test doesn't count, btw.
@patty109109 i have nothing to prove to you :) i wrote "might" you are the one who wrote "no they are not" so i gues you are the expert. So prove your statement.
I would live to make guys like this pay. They don't pay often enough. They are often treated too well. They are also left to their devices too long. Look how many times Bundy escaped. Look at how long Jeffrey Dahmer was allowed to operate. Or, Ed Buck. Justice must be produced.
@Pit Pride Seems a really interesting profession. I'm sure often high fives are shared after a suspect confesses, though Russell was such a nasty piece of work I expect the detective just felt gutted after the entire ordeal.

I don't find it draining, it's fascinating watching the subtext, the tactics like the rambling detail added to distract, the 'forgetting' , the denial & the flattery, the re framing & I am your friend tactic the Police use in return. Its like a game of Chess.
Broke him in under an hour, brilliant work Detective. Provelda might be on to something, investigator's gotta be able to compartmentalize their own emotions and focus on the correct line of questioning and provocation to get past a suspects defenses, all while knowing the guy across from you has killed....and is TRAINED to kill(and, ain't no small fry either). I'd guess it's mostly about training with a fair amount of cojones
There’s a kind of empowerment in learning about that which we fear. Most people’s worst fear is being raped and murdered, but watching the forensic psychology become more apparent in these interrogations and JCS video mini-essays at the start (in addition to shows and books like Mindhunter) takes the mystery and fear of the unknown away, and equips you with an understanding of the hows and whys of this pathological violence and sadism.
@Violetta Mikalina so you completly rejecting the possibility that psychopaths can be functioning citizens? You make it sound like you have to have a deggree in forensic to catch bad guys. There are numerous studies that are telling there are lots of psychopaths among us. And its completly normal. What i was trying to say. Maybe there are Psychopaths that are getting thrills by catching other psychopaths.
@Provelda 1) What is your reasoning for making that declaration? 2) What qualification do you have that allows you to make that sort of blanket statement? Having been an investigator, I have seen many, many people in the hot seat. Being a "functioning psychopath" is not something that will cause you to do the job. In actual fact, you will be weeded out long before you get to interrogating anyone if that is what you are. You will more than likely not get passed the first psych eval before you are cashed and trashed.
@Eric Larson Another one... I am not declaring anything. I am not doing any statements. This all is just hypotherical. So you all need to chill d* ** down.
Jack Jackson Are you kidding me the intergators are freaking ORGASMIC THRU THE ENTIRE PROCESS. I can’t imagine every time that the interrogator leaves the room once the door closes he is high-fiving his other officers face pumps in the air basically celebrating like he just scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl and then as soon as he walks back in that hole for sale is done and those back to being the slow professional and basically killer instincts go back to work.
Yeah I get exhausted just watching it, trying to wring a confession out of them. By the time he admitted to doing it I would be eager to go cool off but then you gotta go back into that room and have him explain in detail how he bludgeoned to death these women and raped them. Then you have that memory swirling around in your head forever.
The hours and hours of questioning about the smallest details and going over what was previously stated numerous times. I just can’t imagine the patience involved and not jumping over & strangling the person for their lies, etc. It’s painful just watching it one time.
I think most interrogators are good people but I get the feeling that if they didn't have a strong sense of justice they could be very dangerous people.
@Flakes well that's the thing. As i read about sociopathy ant pasychopathy. Most of the studies state that there are psychopaths among us some of them good some of them are very bad. As this monster. He was in US army for god sake.
@Eric Larson returning to your 2 questions. 1. Well in the first place in my opinion to get that kind of job a person may need to have same characteristics as a psychopath. Be smart, charming and a one that can turn of/on empathy at will. 2. Man just chill. Im not here to have comment fights. Im just here for a disscusion.
@Provelda i just read an article that said that that article is full of falsehoods. Or, whatever. You are not even giving us titles of articles, authors, sources etc. Psychopaths can not turn empathy on and off, its just not there. They can act though, some good, some bad.
I have a friend who used to work for the police in the murder unit, and it was her job to help find bodies of people who were missing. She discovered many dead bodies, but when she talks about it she just laughs about it - I guess they have to see it in a way different to how we would, almost as though it isn't real?
@Johnathan Doe and it's fun on the other side, to beat them. this guy is clearly stroking his ego "i know you're an intelligent man," using that as a buffer to tell him something he doesn't want to hear "I know your mind is racing"
Do you imagine how good it would feel to go through a couple of hours of being uncomfortable to bring justice to the victims? That would feel so vindicating.
I thought same thing. I barely got through it myself. He obviously fought this all his life and it finally broke him. I actually feel sorry for him too. But mostly for the poor girls. God bless them and their family.
mentally draining? come on.. this interrogator did an amazing job and russell knew, from point A he was busted but this guy got him to confess. This interview will go into "how to properly interrogate a suspect" archives in all criminal psychology cases/courses. This arrogant offender didn't think he's going to ever get caught. This interrogator knew the man was guilty. excellant interrogation and something to use as an example for future detectives
@Provelda That is the most stupid remark I have read for a long time. Do you have a clue how mentally exhausting and depressing such police work can be ? It doesn't take one to know one - the old adage is false, but you have to know your enemy - in this case a potential psychopath - to know how he will react. Studying the psychology of such criminals and the criminally insane can be such a mental burden that it can easily destroy a policemen's family life, and his or her own, if they are not careful. A psychopath can never be a good detective, because it is impossible for them to put themselves in another person's position. Psychopaths are insane egocentrics, always.
@Eric Larson Good for you for saying that ! I agree fully and have just given the moron a piece of my mind as well. All the best from a former colleague ! 😋
@bryan ford I would expect that there was a team of officers at the ready to storm into that room if the suspect made any aggressive movements or physically threatened the investigator. If I were an interrogator I would love to see the hope leave these cowards eyes as they realize they have no defense.
Its amazing how his whole body seems to relax ,once he's confessed to Jessica Lloyd. He asked if the detective wants to know anything in particular. I think, since its out now anyway, he is enjoying reliving his "work". Needing to be true to his military roles/character, he grabs onto something he can control...details. Best interrogation ever! I love your channel, I love going through these with your commentary. 😊👍🏽
Everytime i think about that i get so angry. Then i think about how she might of really believed that she was actually going home. What a pure psychopath this idiot is.😪
I just found your channel and I am almost through all of your videos and hands down, they are the best true crime documentaries that I have ever watched! I appreciate all the explanations of police interrogation techniques and the psychological implications. I have learned so much. I look forward to your other videos on patreon. Thank you so much.
God. At 38:05 I actually thought he was starting to cry, and I naturally felt sort of empathetic-- like finally, at least he's feeling a tiny bit. And then he looked up and said, totally calmly, "got a map?" And my empathy totally withdrew, like it got burned.
I think we really try hard to recognize relatable emotions in people-- even murderers being interrogated, as strange as that sounds on paper-- and the reality of what psychopathy is, when you realize you were reaching out to an emotion that was completely fabricated, feels so startling.
Great job Detective Smith. I served as a Military Police Officer in the UK for many years. Detective Smith did a wonderful job in breaking down Williams Rank Barrier at the start of the interview, levelling him and allowing the Police Officer to dig under his skin. Quite often Military people believe their above and not subject to Civil Law due to being isolated and detached from normal life. Col Williams was able to evade capture for an unknown number of years due to his transient life and his position in the Military in which it is generally perceived that a person of his standing would not harm a Fly. What i do think that helped in this case is that Det Smith isn't in the Military and as such was not sympathetic and influenced as such. Great Detective work and long may Det Smith serve. Steve in Scotland.
Surely the fact that he didn’t experience military life, helped him approach the guy. I agree. Though I’d say that that accounted maybe for a 10% of the entire set of skills displayed by the detective. Overall, it was a combination of both things I guess :) amazing job indeed
Shaun Rambaran you are bang on.Nobody offends in the pattern,frequency or close to home locations he did. He also caved in far too easy and sang like a choirboy.
When you are a married man, you are respected. I always say being married and a good father has nothing to do with you as a PERSON. Often, those who exagerate wife/family/religion have something to hide.
@Major Allen Espy yeah. I have a female relative that used to do prostitution when she was younger, for no good reason. She was a more fun person to deal with, then. Now at 54 she suddenly becomes negative and very religious. I suspect that the religious part is to say to us "look at me, I am not a prostitute anymore"
@Univ Univeral yep. a bit twisted. I think for many, religion is just a less expensive way to alter a habit or get peace of mind than what it would cost to see a psychiatrist and psychologist. But religion to an extreme is only another form of mental illness. Hope she gets help and can be happy in life.
My dad used to bring me and my little siblings to meetings with his partners to show what a family man he was while he was abusing us at home without anyone knowing. Looking like a good dad and husband is a technique for a lot of these guys
He pulled off the “footprints are as unique as fingerprints” so well, I just went with it for a good 5 seconds before I was like “wait wtf that’s obviously a lie”
There's something about simply being interrogated and looked at as being guilty that would make me nervous to the point of actually FEELING guilty. I'd be the type to fail a polygraph while being truthful...
which is why they're inadmissible besides the fact that they're interpreted by people (fallible) and can be beaten

That's the whole point of these interrogations. They're not interviewing you or asking you questions they don't already know the answers to. A police interrogation has one goal and one goal only... to extract a confession.
Which is why they set a baseline first. But if you ever want to beat the lie detector you just lie on the baseline so those waves will look the same as when you actually lie . Pro tip

@matanuska high or take a Xanax prior. The polygraph measures pulse, breathing, and anxiety overall.. How would you be able to lie if the baseline questions are like "is your name so and so?" and other basic questions that you cannot lie about.

Techno-mage you’re one of those dudes that will confess to a crime that you didn’t committ!
@Treads Don't read too much into my statement. Only stating that myself and many others feel a strong sense of anxiety at the idea of being thought of as guilty of something we did not do. Out of those of us, we may actually deal with it in many different ways.
@Treads a detective would never say that. Or atleast not in those words. There are only 2 reasons for police to conduct an interview with you: to gauge your level of truthfulness, or to extract a confession. Going the "we already know you did it but just want to hear you say it" route would be a very amateur strategy to take. Sincerely a district county prosecutor.
@Stu Pidazzo Criminal polygraphs tend to come hand in hand with a drug screen, because they are aware of people taking Benzodiazepines prior to polygraphs. "Beating" the polygraph has more to do with manipulating your biophysical responses to those baseline questions, commonly called "control questions." They'll ask you extremely obvious questions, and instruct you to lie about a few. "When I ask you if your name is Stu, I want you to say No." This is a controlled deception, and they can see how your body reacts. If you react much more strongly to these controlled deceptions, and maintain as calm and composed as possible when lying about more important matters, the test tends to be interpreted as "inconclusive"
It's really all pseudo-science, but they'll have trouble saying you're definitely lying, if your breathing goes up, heart rate goes up, sweat increases, and you fidget more lying about your name, than it does when you say you didn't kill the person. So the results are almost always then listed as inconclusive.
I always had a fear that I would be mistakenly fingered for a crime, and I would be asked where I was at such and such a time on such and such a date. Unless I was at work, there's a good chance I wouldn't know where I was, much less, be able to prove it.
L Clark Polygraphers are careful about the way in which they ask questions. I wouldn't fear if I were you. They wouldn't ask "Where were you on X evening?" They'd ask something more like "Were you at the victims residence (or place of employment) or wherever the crime took place on X evening.
So even if you can't remember exactly where you were that night, you'd know you were not at the scene of the crime. As such you'd feel comfortable saying no, and your biophysical reaction would reflect as much.
They aren't nicknamed truth detectors, but lie detectors. They aren't used to discover a truth, they're used to get an idea if you're lying about a specific suspicion.
@Gene L but since polygraphs are generally used along with alibis to exclude possible suspects, and narrow an investigation, an inconclusive polygraph and no alibi wouldn't exclude you........
Evelyn Waugh you're right, lacking an alibi combined with an inconclusive poly result would do nothing to exclude you from investigation. My most recent comment was that the polygraph in that case would likely return results of "No Deception Indicated" if the person in question (who is actually Innocent) is asked specific binary questions regarding his whereabouts.
Were you at the Flamingo Nightclub at 6pm on August 13th?
He said he might not be able to remember where he was at a specific date and time but it's likely he'd be pretty sure of where he wasn't. He could answer that question with a negative, comfortably.
Edit: The polygraph is typically used a scare tactic once the list of suspects has been narrowed very considerably. Far past the alibi stage. Thankfully as time goes by, it's used less and less is already not admissable in court. I was simply stating an innocent person would likely return an NDI result and a guilty person can quite easily get an inconclusive result, if not an NDI.
39:54 as a former homicide detective this right here is beautiful..getting those small confessions that leads to the overall confession..just great. Excellent analysis. I just found your channel and will be subscribing and sharing.
This guy is so delusional that cop told he that multiple acts of sexual assault,braking and entering, and a murder had taken place within a 30 mile radius of he’s house and now you are being spoke to about it asked multiple times if you want an attorney present when they wave the attorney that’s as a cop you know they did that shit.
Sociopaths and psychopaths are also known to mirror as a manipulation technique. Ironically, for many of them, especially those with inflated self opinions, it's also a blind spot. They don't recognize when it's being used on them.
People try this with me all the time. I always immediately change position when they do, except with my friends. I'm annoyingly observant when interacting with strangers face to face.
@Elysian absolutely relate somehow by the end. Maybe glad it was over, tricking my mind into just agreeing with you? Fascinating stuff though. Beware of wendigo around meat, just a tip.
Note to self; If my cat starts to fixate her gaze towards any dark and visually obscured area of my house, b-line for the nearest exit. Pets know whats up.
@Akilleus apparently black cats can get rid of them and their energy. So when you see them fixated on whatever it is you can't see you're just supposed to leave them alone and let them carry out their activity.
Agreed. He became really well-known after this. I think he was offered money to do different things on TV, but he turned them all down to continue his regular job. At least that's what happened if I recall correctly. He was also the 'bad cop' in the Michael Rafferty interrogation.
Please make more of these videos in terms of the detailed interrogation! So fascinating! Because of these videos, I have subscribed, hoping for more ahead!
Damn, I wish I'll never go through something like that, I can barely remember what I did, when I did it a few days ago... even if I did nothing wrong I'd sound suspicious AF
Same thing as an in field drunk driving physical test, I can't say the alphabet backwards or walk a balance beam sober, I'd fail. I can't remember what I ate three days ago and I'm a boring eater.
@Shusty Rackleford it's not like there is a singular answer to getting these dudes to sing. It's clearly explained that the way he is speaking and answering is indicative of guilt and shame. I'm not coming from the stand point of I want to get away with murder. So, I'm not sure why you're trying to tell me how to get away with it. I'd bet money that you wouldn't stand a chance if you were being interviewed like this and you were guilty lol
I worked in a prison and many times spoke with the inmates and read their files. I can’t tell you how many times women were raped by men entering through a back door left ajar or not properly secured.
Mr. Joesterr2019-12-08 13:43:43 (edited 2019-12-08 15:29:17 )
Diego Maradonna there is no discernible inherent use for a psychopath they are by definition less capable of making decisions that contribute to society’s well being.
Mr. Joesterr2019-12-09 06:47:00 (edited 2019-12-09 06:47:32 )
Chris Rife that doesn’t necessarily contribute to society’s well being. If I am in a combat situation I will do what I need to do to protect myself without me being a psychopath.
@Mr. Joesterr A lot of people aren't aware of this fact however, working together as the human race has always been a big struggle caused my culture and high patriotism to a government/countries beliefs.
Another thing about being a psychopath is that lack of emotions also attributes to attachment to such culture and viewing the human race more of a whole then parts of a puzzle giving a view that's more global appealing without bias as the culture they were raised in.
But obviously they dont all think that way, it's all based on the process of their own thoughts and how their mind works. Russel obviously was on a much different wavelength and only contributed to the stigma that psychopaths are nothing but trouble, but they can be just as righteous as any non-pyscho person
No one in the military is normal. They're all paid to be "legal" murderers to advance the corporation's interests, not to protect you or for so called "freedom". They are paid to do things that are unthinkable and that's why in war times so many of them commit rape, child molestation, and cold blooded murder. That's why they come back into society after war times with PTSD because they fractured their conscience if they had any at all. These murderers are thought of as heroes and that's why this reality is like a Twilight Zone. People fear those who have served 20 years in prison for murdering one person and yet applaud those who have murdered like a serial killer in war. This feeds mankind's lust for killing and that's why most people sign up they're not drafted. Once a person has taken another person's life what's to keep them from killing you in line at the grocery store?
Ray's Dad - join up and you'll meet hundreds. Most psychopaths either go into military or law enforcement so they can attempt to legally shoot and/or hurt others. Especially people that join th army. You would be surprised by how many join simply bc they will be trained and allowed to use guns freely.
I have a buddy that was a drill sergeant at a basic training facility. He told me he had a recruit report to him that was slightly off. It soon came out that he had a habit of catching, killing, and skinning cats, squirrels, and a dog or two. All signs of a psycho. He had told his recruiter about these behaviors and his recruiter DIDN’T CARE. His recruiter signed him up and shipped him off to be trained how to kill. Needless to say, that kid was kicked out pretty promptly.
Diego Maradonna I think you mean sociopaths,, they have the ability to not feel remorse (or anything worthy really) except anxiety or anguish. Can be good for an FBI agent, a military man, suicide line operator, 911 operator, ect. But psychopaths are just,,, not useful at all in our society. They like causing pain, fear or even inflict injuries or death. How is that useful?
@Mr. Joesterr Psychopathy is a mental illness like any other. Many people live with it, and maintain normal lives in spite of it. I can't say Diego's comment is really appropriate here given the context, but Psychopathy, Socialpathy, and many other forms of mental illness are misunderstood by the general public. They're people too.
@Ryan DeCoste it's been proven by brain scans that psychopaths are born with a missing genetic that allows them not to feel emotions, yes in many cases thier environment has enhanced a psychopath to act on feelings with no emotion.... this is why they are rapist, molesters, killer's, abusers and so on....they can't acknowledge between the two. I'm sorry but they don't serve a benefit to society they are a burden and ruin innocent lives!
@Mr. Joesterr Obviously you aren't aware of how many company CEOs have Antisocial Personality Disorder (the new DSM-5 terminology for psychopaths and sociopaths). They are good at their job because they can focus without emotional constructs getting in their way. I'm not necessarily saying it's always a good thing, but it has been for many companies and political positions. They get work done much easier and faster. So, yeah, they do add to society. 1 in 25 people have Antisocial Personality Disorder and 98% of them aren't dangerous at any point in their life. That's not to say that I'm not scared of them, it's just to lay out scientific fact. I personally have no interest in being around such a person (I have before and I got the hell away as soon as I felt it was safe to quit the job I had that forced me to be around her) but they can and do add to society.
everywhere. There was a medical surgeon in my homeland, Gabon that performed multiple operations on a beautiful girl who she was trying to befriend. He forgot a piece of surgical glove or bandage several times in her and she had to go back for treatment. The naive people still do not understand till today that all this might have been sexual. That is Africa for you.
@Diego Maradonna I know people are going to freak out over your statement but it is entirely true. There are various degrees of psychopathy and benefits of being one. Not all psychopaths are rapists and murderers. Most are just good businessmen, soldiers, or criminal interrogators https://listverse.com/2016/04/22/10-unexpected-benefits-to-being-a-psychopath/
@Mr. Joesterr 1/200 people on earth exhibit psychopathic traits (of which there are 7). Some of the most successful & or influential people in the world are psychopathic including many in Government, CEO's, Banking, Law etc - there are psychopaths in the military / police & even in normal society. Saying they contribute nothing to society is both dismissive & inaccurate & shows your own lack of knowledge on the subject at hand.
@mucky Wait what? Are you seriously implying that an individual who can't experience emotions, can't understand them and can only imitate them could work as someone whose job is UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS AND FEARS IN HIGH-RISK SITUATIONS? Are you high???
Gabriel Martínez They can’t feel them, but have a vague understanding of other’s. Take it as, someone loving a style of music that you sinply don’t understand. I have a friend who has been diagnosed with sociopathic tendencies, he’s not an asshole or dangerous. He simply does not feel sadness or remorse. I have to tell him sometimes why he’s hurt someone and he understands, like you would understand someone having a passion that’s not yours. Sociopaths are not the dangerous ones (except for more extreme cases, obviously) Psychopaths are who we should keep away from. sorry if I wasn’t clear.
Gabriel Martínez also, i think that they would be great for these types of jobs because rhey can distance themselves from someone else’s pain. Most of those jobs are not made for empaths yknow
My ex is military and he is one of THEM that falls under the radar always. He breached orders 7 times and should of been charged but the police called his work instead of me and funny enough ALL solid evidence was deemed "not efficient enough" to charge because I heard they said he will lose his job if a intervention order or charge goes ahead. 3yrs later he is still crazy and gets away with all and what he does even to my kids. He is a severe narc but the way I react is ruffling him slowly. Its so messed up no matter what country not all 'military' personnel are 'good' people and thats why they're there because some are the best master manipulators.
I live in Cyprus, recently there was a case of first serial killer in Cyprus. He raped and killed several women and a child from Philippines. He was in military. I have also heard that men who are in military are abusive towards their wives and children. My friend is actually going through it right now.
@cookie_dough_hangover its bad because the way their trained will have some effect on them. I always felt bad because my ex would say bs excuse he has PTSD like they get away if they state that. He told me on a deployment he found woman and children hanging etc I found out it was all LIES by his mates. Just think one day when they leave their Karma always comes because they will be so F%#%ed up in their own mental shit storm.
@Lisa P not much i suppose, like whatever, the guy got what he deserved for his horrible actions, the detective is doing his job...he wouldnt be able to be this good if he would get angry at someone confessing to murder etc.
25:55 Ole John Norman got quote a promotion there! "John Norman is a world renowned footwear imprsession expert." Hes actually just the officer 2 doors down kind enough to print out the image for detective Smith since there were no experts on the premises. That made me laugh pretty good.
This is honestly one of my favorite videos on YouTube, the power of the interrogation tactics, the politics behind the crimes, truly truly fascinating stuff and great work JCS!!!
i absolutely love true crime because it simultaneously sobers me to the true evil that i risk my life living among on the daily and solidifies my choice to not procreate and impose these risks on my kids' lives.
No matter how many times I watch this or watch the entire interrogation, I'm constantly amazed by Detective Jim Smith. I really hope he goes on to teach other detectives, his skills are impressive.
he is so disconnected to the terror he inflicted on his victims. He actually slept with a bound victim next to him in the bed. These poor women went through hell and then he disposed of them like throwing trash in a bin.
@Sababa Hummus i think it depends on the prison in question and whether or not the criminal in question will make friends once there, but i feel like life in supermax without parole and plenty of solitary is far greater punishment than death, which would relieve him of any consequences
@Michael Starr Its so bizarre that he was worried about Jessica during her seizure and then minutes later murdered her. Something was definitely broken in this man
Wow, suffocation to me is one of the worst ways to die. Its one of my biggest fears I can't imagine how terrified the first women must have been being awake during this happening
@Brittany Kayy I think you misunderstood me you said "one of my biggest fears" I was wondering why would you think that way but it seems you didn't see my point. sorry
@Gunner4life i was just relating to the girl who was killed that way. Suffocation is alot of peoples fears. I was just thinking how terrified she must have been. Thats all
Agreed. I’m not afraid of most things and consider myself to be a strong individual but the thought of being strangled and having my life taken away is horrible. Even in films I can’t stand people choking or suffocating.
Burning alive, having a knife cut through my Achilles and being suffocated, all simultaneously, might be the worst of all. I might have gotten that from the Saw movies, or Hostel.
@Jarrell Neriah SHaMaH ya but with burning alive u pass out prety quick from the pain, it can take awhile to be suffocated. But both are obviously beyond horrible
Its amazing how much knowledge of things like body language these guys have. I'd be afraid to talk to them about what I had for breakfast. What if I move in a way that means something?!

Love this channel. Bring more.
Just keep in mind this is Canada, i.e. he was supposed to be told he won't be leaving (as they strongly suspected it's him), the sitting between the suspect and the door is considered a form of detention and as long as you had an access (phone call) to a lawyer, interview keeps going no matter how many times the suspect says I wanna talk to a lawyer.
31:03 was my favorite part. The detective just whispers "Russell" and he jerks his head up. It's almost painful to so clearly see the distress he's experiencing Lol
I'd never heard many of the facts you mentioned regarding this guy's case. I'm watching all you videos now and assisting you on Patreon even though this kind is information is dangerous for the masses-- I'm just pretty sure they're too dumb to utilize it.
Even though you can clearly tell that the detective is becoming exhausted from the long interrogation process. He still manages to keep his composure and ask all the right questions.
I wish this channel had more videos - not because I am happy with the subject matter, but only because this channel is honestly educational and quite intriguing.
I like to think that he opened up so easily and quickly due to his perception of honor. He was a soldier after all (pardon my english) and apart from all those tragedies, he served his country. After he realised that they caught him he might've thought to himself - "ok, it's over, there's no point in lying about anything, you fucked up and you are going to take it with respect and honor"
@E J I don't romanticize him. I also think he's completely wicked and deserves the punishment he got. I just want to take a step further in the analysis of his character. I try to understand his actions. He snapped really easily at the "crossroads". He could've just said he doesn't want to provide DNA, get a lawyer and voila, work something from that point. You are looking at this case in a strictly binary fashion - someone is a monster or not. I just tried to not do the same. I understand your anger towards him though.
burbon look he fell for the interrogation tactics not because he’s honourable and decided to give up but because he panicked.
I don’t think there’s any evidence to go off to indicate that he was in any way honourable. His military history doesn’t make him honourable. His caving and confessing to a crime doesn’t make him honourable. Moreover honour speaks of moral character, of which this dude clearly didn’t have from what I saw.
Yeah sure Hitler probably wasn’t a horrible human to everyone for all of the time, but the acts he committed (the death of millions) outweighs any “honour” he may have had, same as this guy.
Basically I see no evidence to claim he had a moral character.
@E J Your looking at your perceived notion of "honor". This man is a hardened psychopath that has excelled in a military career. He might not flinch at killing civilians or raping innocents but than truly be concerned for his wife. Its how mobsters can kill someone with a baseball bat, chop up their body and dump it in the river and than be completely obedient to their mom who scolds them. His fear truly might have had to do with his loss of his perceived honor (military accolades, his wife etc.). These people are able to dissociate the crime from their every day life. The man is a monster no doubt. Cruel and unremorseful this man deserves the harshest of penalties.
I'm sure it helps that hes a military man, he understands that science and tech are a threat to him, and he's less reliant on wishful thinking and more of a realist.
Hey my name is Petch from Bangkok Thailand. I got introduced to this channel by my boyfriend. I just wanna say thank you JCS for putting out such an interesting video for your audience all the time. I love your channel. will continue to love and support you from here :))))))))
This is absolutely incredible. In a horrifying kind of way. Not gonna lie, I watch a lot of stuff like this and I couldn't stand to finish the video when he was giving a play-by-play of his assaults. Nevertheless, I love this channel and the like-minded weirdos who also clicked on an hour-long video of a criminal interrogation. <3
I’m glad they catch these guys, but it blows my mind how none if them ever opt for a lawyer. I wouldn’t talk to the police on my own if they watched me get victimized with their own eyes, much less under interrogation.
For people who know more about law... Would this be admissible in court? Or would the defense say that this man was coerced? I mean, is a confession enough to convict someone?
Well, i'm very late here, but I have the feeling Russell wanted to talk about his crimes because for him, all those crimes is just like a trophy: "Look, I have been doing all this s* for ages and you never caught me". He knew that, perhaps, some day he would be caught so he's prepared to it, somehow. Kudos to the detective for his excellent job!
DAMN!! The detective is displaying 1st rate interrogation skills but my ability to watch and learn from it is being made difficult as the recording of his great work was clearly the result of a 3rd rate amateur. I can take the 'wobbling' sound from the table but when it starts to hurt my ears even though it comes from normal movement, I feel angry. There is NO EXCUSE for that level of incompetency. My frustration stems from the fact that this subject matter is the MOST IMPORTANT work any police investigation; bar none! I am gonna go out on a limb and say that this detective's skill set does not require any knowledge of visual and audio recording efforts (nor should it). Therefore it is the fault of and belongs at the feet of the Top Cop of that police force (Chief, etc)!!!
It is really fascinating how many suspects who age guilty talk to police without an attorney present. If I was indeed guilty of a crime I wouldn't open my mouth without an attorney in the room!
What a genius interrogator. He remained so calm and void of any disgust. If that were me, I probably would have lost my cool before even walking in to meet the creep. It's insane what a psychopath Williams is, and I don't use that word lightly. Shocking to see someone who was in such high power hide his disgusting secret for so long. Seriously, kudos to that interrogator and kudos to you, Jim, for another great video. I've been binge watching your videos all week - I'm obsessed!!
Also: the speed he is chewing gum: The more nervous, the faster you chew... Even if you concentrate, in some time you will forget about it and youll chew faster. Very smart
John Trains2020-03-06 02:14:31 (edited 2020-03-06 02:19:39 )
This interrogater is a goddamn jedi. I can't belive he got him singing like this. It's so crazy that people can just kill another like this with no fucks given. It's so upsetting.
It's quite fascinating just how easily he cracked without much effort.

He must have worked hard to establish such a good career for himself and he just goes out and destroys multiple lives like it’s no big deal and just one of those things. It’s fascinating and hideous
Don't take this the wrong way but credit to Russell for not breaking down into a fake remorse tantrum which is very common when the perp gets cornered. I do see remorse in him, some say he's bragging but I feel in that moment he accepted what would happen to him and that felt that he deserved it.
doublesman0 shoe print technology is actually a thing g despite what this video says, I just read about a different case where the shoe print lead to finding the murderer, can’t think of the names, atm but apparently there used to a website called crimeshoe dot com, no longer in existence. If I can remember the case, I’ll post a link, just drawing a blank atm.
Found it but I was wrong about it being a murder, it was a rape case. Recently written about in Salon magazine:
“Galbraith checked out the footprints left at the Lakewood scene. They matched the footprints in the snow outside her victim’s apartment in Golden. She sent images of the shoe prints to crimeshoe.com, a website that promised to move an investigation “from an unidentified scene-of-crime shoeprint to detailed footwear information in one simple step.” The site, now defunct, identified the prints as having been made by a pair of Adidas ZX 700 mesh shoes, available in stores after March 2005.”
Christopher Marlowe I get that but this new vid on Williams completely re-spins the way it’s being presented now, was never mentioned in the original upload about him. Why is that?
9:42 He can let all his pals at the prison know that he IS, indeed, a coffee guy. They'll want to know that so they can't have a fresh cup of coffee ready for him when he visits them in the yard and avoid a nasty faux pas.
well he thought it was his right to do this to her. it's the basic officer mindset in any military; anyone lower ranking than you is yours to do what you deem fit

You would have thought he'd have had a kill kit containing shoes that he used solely for his vile doings. Not as smart as he thinks he is! Jim Smyth is a legend the world over. If I had committed a crime and he walked in I'd know I was done for and hold my hands up immediately because you ain't going to beat Jim!
Honestly the only reason he confessed is cause he knew there was no way out. Those long periods of silence were him thinking whether or not he should confess or fight it.
Via the oc3 optical line, calculated with the Md5hash? (expl.: I assume you watch the ONP channel also?) This Russel won’t be calling much the next few years..
They'd have caught this man much earlier except that a) the local police forces were clearly not sharing information of crimes and b) the police ignored Williams during the house to house canvass as they were told he was a senior military officer and therefore, they thought, couldn't possibly be guilty of anything.
Loved this video but I’m still confused as to why the first few clips of the young lady sobbing in an interrogation were included? What case is that from?
The interrogator goes from talking about the victim in the past tense during the interrogation, to talking about her in the present tense the moment he confesses.. Id like to understand the change in gears like that! Id assume he talks about her in the past tense during the interrogation to reinforce the impression that the law enforcement has a complete understanding of what happened as if to say "we know everything - including her current fate, so resisting is pointless," Not sure about the jump back after the confession.
"She did as I said. I said "lie down on your tummy". I continued to rape her and I had her put on some of her underwear and took some pictures. Lots of pictures."
I feel horror just imagining this. That is a nightmare. She wanted to die every moment of it. I can't imagine the trauma this poor woman experienced. She wakes up and finds a stranger in her house, twice her size, telling her what to do, knowing fully well that her future was likely over. My heart cannot hurt enough for the women this man harmed.
Rape is about control and power. Don't ever let anyone tell you that it's about sex or the clothing someone is wearing. It has NOTHING to do with sex. This man was high with power due to his position in the military. The military is toxic and breeds monsters.
The very last bit in the video about Jim Smith is very interesting. There are comments here with 1k likes saying what a genius he is for getting a confession etc and yeah he is probably really good but the truth is that this interrogation wasnt a very hard one: He had a genius in front of him who basically realized it's over due to the strong evidence they already had. So of course Jim Smith will brush off the hype.
Given that they are personality disorders that cannot get treated, what are we supposed to do with sociopaths and psychopaths? How do we even catch them before they hurt anyone?
Why was the only thing Williams asked for, to limit the impact on his wife given a confession, not respected? They put on TV all sorts of photos just for sensationalism as if the rapes and murders were not damning enough. I'll state the obvious, this investigator is a beast and completely destroyed Williams by getting him to confess to all of these crimes in just over an hour but I don't understand why they didn't make it less of a show. Some would say that Williams is the dummy for taking Smith to his word and others could also say that Williams is the one who brought this upon his wife, etc. I think those are true but, the only thing that the investigators had control over and a certain ethical responsability over was to limit the psychological damage done to the wife, who was innocent, as far as we know.
Yes of course they are. It's always women shouldnt do this, women shouldnt do that. Men should be held accountable. If she didnt leave her window open there would be some other thing she did wrong.
@maroon Forsyth You two are not that ignorant. I never said that the man shouldn't be held accountable. Every time a man suggests that a woman do something that "might" lower the chances of being a victim, women start accusing us of victim blaming. Do you really not understand the difference between concern for the victim and excusing the criminal's behavior?
It's called being proactive in protecting oneself. It'll be nice to live in a world with no bad guys and only sane rational people. But we don't. If I throw cash up in the air in view of people, it's likely I'll be targeted as someone to rob versus those that don't do that. It doesn't make the guy robbing me any less wrong. Some lessons don't need to be experienced to be learned.
V N again, she could’ve forgotten to close the curtains. If it wasn’t her, Russ could’ve easily picked someone random, like in the streets and followed her home. Then would you say she shouldn’t have gone out side because there’s bad people out there? Where do we draw the line? Fact is she got attacked in her own home. And nobody deserves that.
@violet sparkles I draw the line at common sense. And no one said she was deserving of it, she doesn't. Nobody also said he wasnt wrong and shouldn't be off the streets. You're expecting the world to peaceful, beautiful, and for it to work around you and it doesn't. The person who is going to lock their doors minimizes their risk compared to the ones that don't. It's a simple concept.
@V N I agree tho, like I don't know why Canadians like to keep their doors unlocked. I don't think people do that anymore. Especially in apartment buildings.
@violet sparkles It's possible but I'm sure you've seen what I'm talking about. Lots of people leave open views to their homes. They're free to do that of course. It just seems risky to me.
Were you forced to make your other videos private to appease YouTube because you didn't have "permission" to use the content in them? Shame if so, I really enjoyed them..
How did he have such a high level job yet was so stupid he didnt get a lawyer before he started talking .. the whole time he could of just walked out .. easy life sentence 👌🏾

they give out TS clearance like a creepy guy giving out candy at a elementary school out of his van. It's not that difficult to get lol! Just don't have a criminal history and don't have any outstanding debts.
He comforted her during a seizure and lay down with her to comfort her.....? That poor girl must have been thinking that she may be getting out of it alive.
thought number 1: From wikipedia: "Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert F. Scott sentenced Williams on October 22, 2010, to two concurrent terms of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.[59]". Allowing the possibility of parol is like saying we think this person can be reformed and can once again become a contributor to society. He also apparently collects his military pension. Is there any crime for which the Canucks will hand down commensurate retribution in serving justice? Thought number 2: It's just so remarkable to think about the secret mental lives people live. I suppose persons of action are more likely to act on those but this guy and BTK and people like these are just so scary because they are not the mentally impoverished psycho of the ilk portrayed in Silence of the Lambs. Rather they are totally stand-up people and seemingly otherwise normal in every way.
Seems to me that a true psychopath would not admit to the crimes. At least he came clean when confronted with it. He developed a very rare fetish that is dark and perverse. The jury is still out on whether or not every human is capable of this. The scariest part of looking at this video and similar comes from the fear of these traits being within oneself -- like looking down that huge drop and thinking of what would happen if you jumped. Some people do jump.
OFFICER: 0:38 ME: " John did it! Here is his address, his mom's address, his Instagram name, his favorite TV shows, a sample of his blood, a hair follicle...
Does anyone else wish they were being interrogated lol. I can not imagine a reason I would he put in that situation though. Even if I were, I think it wouldn't be much of a convo because I dont speak to police or answer questions. Talking can NEVER help you only hurts you even if you are INNOCENT
This guy had womens clothes locked away at home. If my hubby had a box or a room that he forbade me from, id be in that cupboard or box within 2 seconds while he was still in the same room.
The interrogator said, "Can you tell me what the issue is that you're struggling with?" and it reminded of me of techniques I was once taught when I was a car salesman....briefly....Its actually rather interesting how similar the two professions can be.
0:30 i wonder if they put a angry black man in there with her intentionally in order to get her to break and admit the truth? Maybe they correctly guessed that she was weak of will, and that scaring her would be more effective than talking with her?
The investigator is a hero. Someones life was saved that day. Video references crossroads in peoples lives were one decision can drastically alter your life's path. This investigator undoubtedly changes at least one person life path drastically. Must be chilling to have been a woman living in that area after finding this out.
@Jamie Brown wikipedia says 10 hours in full, he was taken in at 3 pm and by 7:45 he was describing the crimes, great interrogation technique, he stopped a dangerous serial killer from being free for much longer.
i wish this evil creature can relive and experience his victims' pain and horror ... bu thats not possible, cos if he could... he would not hv done it.
I live in Ottawa. I also remember this case and news... Great job Ottawa Police. Broke a colonel in 57 minutes. Nice work 👍 And great footage in this video. And your narrative is very good!
The second the cop says "search warrant" you can almost see his mind going to all that women's underwear and all the pics of him in it. It's also strange to think the last moment of freedom this guy had was walking from his car the the door of the station. Once through that door he would never see a moment of freedom again.
Tim McManus I would just say flat out. ‘Hey man, I’ve seen too much tv to talk to cops without a lawyer. You might think it makes me look guilty but I’m better safe than sorry.’ I’ve already taught my teenager to never, ever answer questions in a police station. To just say she can’t speak without counsel being there.
The fact he remained after the interrogator told him he was free to leave was due to his arrogance and misplaced confidence in his own intelligence...perhaps thinking the interrogation wasn't overly serious and would be a cake-walk for him. He may have initially thought he was only there to deal with a few easy questions - not as the prime suspect he actually was.
Crime is an emotional action. This archetype of the coolheaded mastermind is a movie, novel, and comic book theme. Plus, when on the spot, you are nervous, looking for emotional release, validation. Guilt and the Fear of being found out, punished is an intense feeling. Almost as if there is God, applying the heat. You may have never been arrested. I've been handcuffed often, and I always sing like a canary. No real crimes, mostly alcoholic based. One time right place, wrong time.
@fighting on arrival, fighting for survival well said. I find it very fascinating that it is usually a weight off the shoulders when they spill the beans. I'm sure Russ felt a little of that.
@Stewart McJinnon The mind of a True Psychopath doesn't work like that, tho. Psychopaths have NO emotions, including relief. You can see clearly that he has zero remorse and zero regret, only disappointment in the fact that he's been caught.
Source: even tho just for fun and eagerness to learn, I attended the full course of Criminal Pathology at my Uni's Med school's MedPsych Master's degree.

@Bethany ... I don't see it that way. He just led a double life. It was very risky behaviour. He just esculated things. It got out of hand. He did try to frame someone with the murder though. He was an addict I suppose. I think he was a likable guy. He would not of got so high up without the support of colleagues. It is a very interesting case. It tells me society is a facade when leadership can be feigned to this level. He has embarrassed emot of people and confused so many more let alone destroyed so many others.

@19zuzi82 ... well he did say he was concerned about his wife. That should not be ignored or brushed aside. I do not see why he would say it if it wasn't true. I accept he had no feelings for his victims. He was all ego so it was just about him. His wife was in his little bubble though. I am not really into labels. We like to distance ourselves from people that commit atrocious acts. I want to learn about myself from these people. We all have the capacity to turn evil. War will bring it out. Society has us hoodwinked. I am on a journey of leadership growth. It is about gaining access to the inner workings of the mind. You get more control when you prove yourself worthy is how nature works. I could kill now and not get too fazed about it. No PTSD either. Leaders are very resilient in that way. But I am not a pervert and I do care about others. So killing is only an act of necessity for me. We are really tribal people. Survival is the name of the game.
@Stewart McJinnon Is that a copypasta, 'cause it surely looks like one. If it's not, it's one hell of a tangent... And no, I think he was worried about his wife's reputation , not his wife well-being. If he truly cared about the woman he'd married he would have refrained himself from raping and murdering, for the sake of not putting her through the hell of having a murderer as a husband. Also, he just probably mentioned her to appear vaguely caring in hope to appeal to the interrogator. Feat at which he failed, BADLY.

@19zuzi82 ..I'm not sure of the distinction between his wife's reputation and well-being. That makes no sense to me. His long term good friend was completely shocked by the revelations. This was on another program. To me this does not neatly fit into the label of psychopath. I feel life events and experiences can take us on a downward spiral. Yes he had a fetish and that was it. No big deal. But it was socially unacceptable especially due to his career. He tried to manage both. It got crazy. Rape becomes murder when society shows zero tolerance. Little steps lead you down a pathway to murder. It is a journey. Most serial killers describe it that way. Killing becomes easier. You cross a threshold. He seems pretty normal to me. I just don't have a fetish. No, did not paste. My thoughts in real time.
@Phil Ill .... He knew he was done when the search warrant was being executed.

@Phil Ill ... rubbish. He finds himself where he does not want to be. He is doing what any normal person would do under this situation. He cannot understand why he has done what he has done but he now is trying to work out his options. Calling him labels may make you feel good but it only distorts your understanding.
@MK Hogan on this same channel you can watch the interigation of a cop who knows all about this stuff, Lazarus, shits different when you really in the room i would presume
@Stewart McJinnon I'd bet money that he sees his wife as a form of property. And he's just depleted her value by getting caught. The mans a rapist. None of their relationships are real. Slugs have more empathy.
@Stewart McJinnon Dude you seem to have zero understanding of psycopathy. Concern over reputation and well-being are two very different things. Reputation is an outward factor and well-being an inward emotion. Reputation reflects on him and well-being does not.
MK Hogan a lot of people in that situation think they can talk their way out of trouble. They think that if they tell their side of the story, they will somehow get to go home that night.
It IS interesting how Russ originally started with burgling women's underwear- a crime much more innocent *at least in relation * to where he ended up. Then assault. Raping. Torture. Killing.
It's refreshing to hear a different theory than "Russ had psychopathy". I havent finished watching, so I dont know which theory I'd agree with yet, but it's intriging to put forth an idea other than what is essentially a damaged prefrontal cortex. Not all killers, not even all serial killers, are strictly psychopaths in the fMRI-meets-Hare-checklist sense. This one had a paraphilia, and unlike say, Bundy, my understanding is when Russ's B&E began he focused on only on the clothing for his fetish, with no victim contact. It seems you're postulating the possibility Russ started committing those crimes without any urge or intention or plan to rape and or kill people, that this was a later development. Psychopaths do have a ramp up, but it usually begins with violence like simple assault on a wife or gf , not nonviolent creeper paraphilia. Also if you have served and have seen many military men who are very human inside (or began that way) but can appear and behave as if they are emotionless because of their military training or experiences, you may see (or mistake) the possibility of Russ either having been one of these and this somehow coupled with the panty fetish somehow combusted and drew him deeper into sadism, (or even that he still has hidden emotion). Its unlikely but possible.
Something I think worth mentioning here is Orgasmic Conditioning. It plays a role in why paraphilia's for wearing panty here is different than someone just having a fetish or kink to do it. Paraphilia's destroy the will of those affected like youd say drugs do to an addict. Where they need more and more intensity, stronger etc, to get off, or even to get hard. This is why the controversial idea of neutralizing pedophiles by giving them animated porn or a set library of doctor-prescribed, mild pedoporn from the 30s (so the actual victims are mostly dead of old age) is actually NOT something that would help neutralize them. Having an orgasm while using such porn would condition their already affected brain and body to seek out more intense versions of it, inevitably resulting in the harm of a child. (That's the best analogy I've got). Anyway, it's totally valid to have a theory hes not a psychopath but a combination of other factors.
I find it interesting how quickly people always are to diagnose psychopathy actually. I wonder if it is our way of disassociating such killers from our species. Because if we were to accept they're not, and are as human as we are...then you may be right, we can learn about ourselves, and each other, from we have always killed, the majority killed (and still kill) for socially acceptable reasons (war and self defense; in some cultures revenge or vigilantism) or at least socially understandable ones - (losing control due to jealousy or rage, usually the ones we refer to as voluntary manslaughter/2nd degree murder, "crime of passion" etc.). So maybe not so compatible with ol' "call me Russ" here.

@Rick writes ... I enjoyed reading all that. Yes I now look beyond the facade that is our society. I use what I call a leadership lens. It is our tribalism mentality. Any threat to the mental state of our society gets labelled as evil and gets ostracized. Too many labels. New ones just keep popping up. They are all descriptive or are shaped within the context of society. Labels tend to lock in our thinking. I like to connect the dots and not have a disconnected mind full of labels. I feel for answers rather than just observe and judge. I look within and understand others by understanding myself. It is a two way street. It is leadership. It is about taking the ego.

@Rick writes ... I enjoyed looking into the Chris Watts case also. It is a journey. Everything is. Rather than focus on the act of violence and labeling people based on their actions, exploring their journey is being more open minded. I say leaders tend to look at things from the opposite direction also. Followers have a one tracked mind. Also I see a pattern how rape becomes murder simply due to an attempt to silence the victim. Harsh rape laws lead to women dying. It is not an easy one to deal with. Well I suppose these rare cases are unfortunate compared to the strong deterant for commiting rape. It just shows that these murders are not thrill kills. It is all about self preservation.
You do NOT need a lawyer. You know what you did and didn't do. A defender will help the process, give you an ally. But, Dewey Cheatum and Howe are mercenaries who see your problems as their beach house. Its not Medicine. Its archaic, European property and propertieless social structure designed to keep the weak scared of the powerful. Ocassionally, something akin to fairness and justice happens. Usually, Big Business for the most screwed up Western Civilization.
Germany did far worse in a short span. But, everyday is greed, crime, drugs, mental illness, broken family bonds, murder, accidents, voyeurism, narcissism, racism, consumerism, pollution here in the Good Ole USA.
I'm a veteran, son of veterans. I've never been patriotic.Maybe for a few months in 2001.
🔫🌎🔪ORLÉANS where this psycho lived & did all these Rapes/Murders is exactly where my hubby is working as a Electrician... Scary! My cousin in the Army worked under him at the Trenton Base...🔪🌎🔫
He is a total psychopath. Those poor, poor woman. Being watched, stalked, attacked, falsely imprisoned, in their own homes, beaten, retrained and entirely brutalized sexually, and psychologically and utterly emotionally violated before being murdered and discarded. 😢😢 ☹️ And as per usual, a decorated and high ranking uniform wearing "community/public service" HYPOCRITE.
Just finished watching the Watt family one, these are so addicting to watch! One thing ive learnt is that silent pause technique is too Overpowered 😂Gets them everytime xD
damn this was actually incredible, great content dude! You just got one more subscriber. Crazy how people can be manipulated into incriminating themselves
I remember seeing an episode of I Survived where one of his rape victims was telling her story and for some reason they decided to show pictures Russel had taken of himself in his victims' underwear. I have nothing against people who cross-dress but when you add in the circumstances surrounding photos and the fact there was absolutely nothing in his eyes, it's no wonder why those pictures still haunt me
I wouldn't be surprised if that interrogator has some psychopathic traits himself. The way he coldly manipulated the guy, totally distancing himself emotionally from the conversation. It seemed as if every word and body language was a deliberate trap. Could also be that this guy is just really really good at this. Very impressive indeed
Maggie Ellis but what this shows is the cops can lie to you to trap you,with that said I guess you have to sometimes to do good work to get nut jobs off the streets
Ok I can understand an innocent person going in to answer a few questions without a lawyer, even though it may not be in their interest. But if you kill people and the cops want to talk to you, whether you are under arrest or you think its unrelated and just being "asked a few questions as a possible witness", you are a moron for talking to them. Theres a reason why you NEVER see or hear of career criminals (drug dealers, organized crime syndicates etc) saying anything but "hello" to police.
Ya youd think a cold blooded psychopath could stay clear headed enough to catch that little whiff of bullshit, especially a military professional in a leadership position. Guess not every psycho can be Hannibal Lecter.
He wants to maintain rapport and not appear as the bad guy. Sociopaths are accudomef to making people believe they are the good guy. They were never allowed to feel anger as a child. So expressing it means they are weak and bad. But using power and authority to brutalize and violate another human being just proves that other human being is weak, dirty and bad. Why? Because they were victimized while small an fragile and weak. It is a super twisted dynamic inside their heads.
ekul Z HOLY SHEE-ITE!! That is a word worth knowing, however superfluous it may be, it’s totally interesting none the less. Can’t wait to have the opportunity to use it in a sentence. 😜.
At the time of this interview, there was a fresh warrant authorizing the search of Williams' home. It turned up as much irrefutable evidence as any investigator could have needed to put Williams in jail. This interrogation was valuable then as a means to faster convictions, and is still valuable as a teaching tool now. Thanks for posting this.
The interrogator has so many advantages not to impressive if I'm concerned. Although I do respect every officer that was out there searching car tracks
I'm mostly impressed with the interrogator's demeanor: calm, cool, and pseudo-supportive. I think that's more effective than a hard ball approach, or one's that's emotionally charge.
@listerone You might get away being intimidating with a kid, but I'd think a confrontational approach with an adult will make it a little more likely they will clam up and demand a lawyer.
I'm a bit fuzzy as to the line between the law and psychology and am tending to think there should be a separation of the two. Not sure it's a detective's place to be asking why questions.
Just discovered this channel and fascinated by it - great content. I listen to it while working on the kitchen and find myself thinking of more things to bake to keep listening. 👍
As a police officer, looking to become a detective this channel is amazing. Only remark is that I would like more dissection of the interviews, I want to hear more of your personal knowledge! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
I love all those interrogations videos, especially the explanations regarding the techniques the officers are using against the suspects, its going to be very useful for my next crime!
And the view of "reality" is down to the PERCEIVING of this. Mine is awesome irrespective of another's free will to choose other. Laying on the divan styles, in the sunshine, on quilted comfort, and the traffic a gentle soothing hum, in background. Admidst birds and nature noise intermingled with that, and the sunshine, is streaming through, onto my back as I enjoy the Darrell Lea choc covered licorice in mouth, clothed in my new season winter wear warmers, in love with life itself, whilst penning the journal, as per usual. No problems not one, nothing other than satisfied with the status quo time, place, date and current affairs. Gosh it's a glorious day people. Let us rejoice and be glad in it .
I've watched this video multiple times and it still keeps me gripped and in a permanent state of awed fascination watching how Det Jim Smith just breaks the Col like a dry twig in June. It really is a lesson in cutting edge interrogation techniques.
I love these videos! Jim, could you do a video on the Boston Craigslist killer Phil Markoff? :)

Wow, the absolute absence of compassion and guilt is absolutely chilling. The way he can detail the rapes and murders without a shred of emotion is disturbing. It feels like a hollow human being.
Hey Jim love your content. I'm a new subscriber, & also have now joined you on Patreon.
I was hoping you could tell me what video(s) this is a clip from at the very start of the above video, so I can watch it over on Patreon. Thanks, & keep up the great work! Xx
The detective like the colonel I can imagine despite being as professional and experienced as he is, being as mentally anxious stressed thinking "it's extremely important I say and respond with the exact statement so I don't lose" except it was say the exactly correct question instead of an answer. He did an amazing job keeping it going and getting as much of the right info with the opportunity he had.
Holy fuck. This is insane, this guy is a master. I don't know what's scarier, the fact this guy broke a COLONEL in UNDER AN HOUR, or the fact someone could recollect doing these horrible things so calmly.
I know that Jim Smyth knew this guy was guilty from very early on in the piece, getting that first "got a map?" admission must be an INSANE rush. Mega props to his skills.
Its so absolutely amazing how they got this man to confess in 1 hour!!! And I've seen other videos of stupid people and kids who wont admit and fight for hours and some days !
Sighing quite a lot there Russ, almost like you were afraid of something important. Also, that synchronizing body language was pretty good; I didn't think something so minor can be subconsciously trusting.
Jim has a very soothing voice. I'm not even being interrogated, yet I feel compelled to leave a comment, admitting to the time I took a dollar off my grandmother's dresser...
Jim Smith is amazing. I can imagine him in Starbucks 'can I have a coffee please?' ...'Here you go sir. Ok I confess I cheated in my math exam, stole a candy bar from the local shop, and secretly listen to Justin Bieber'.
It's funny that at a minute 32:40 or so the tape shows the interrogator mentioning Paul Bernardo. I know it is somewhat fringe speculation but there are those out there such as the researchers William Ramsey esquire and private investigator Ed Opperman, as well as straight media outlets (below) who point out that Williams and Bernardo attended the same school at the same time. I don't think it's too crazy of a hypothesis to wonder whether some of these killers are networked such as the Chicago ripper crew's connection with John Wayne Gacy which is a pretty weird circumstance; it's known that there were other killers because Gacy has to solid alibis out of state for two of the killings and burials under his house.
So what I'm getting at with all this is that there's so much left out of sensationalized media narratives with these cases that I don't think anyone just viewing public information that's available, especially public information including police reports and other relevant evidence or generated information to some extent (meaning it is sometimes played down or suppressed by lawenforcment or other officials such as lawyers or judges), has any idea what's really going on with these cases.
For instance just the meager amount of information that Jim Rothstein's, retired NYPD Detective Jim Rothstein brings to the table in regard to the David Berkowitz murders and the Son of Sam case, it's hard to imagine anyone with a brain in their head really thinking that Burkowitz wasn't actually part of an organized group of people committing these murders. But nobody ever hears about that, no one ever hears about Jim Rothstein or about the Process Church of the Final Judgment, no one ever hears about all the dog sacrifices going on in the parks or at the Mason and Zionist Sabbtean millionaire Samuel Untermeyer's estate which served as a ritual area. All the really interesting stuff that gets left out, while it doesn't paint a completely new picture or necessarily always drastically change a lot of the conclusions about a case, it differently opens up a whole host of new questions and I think it's a pretty disingenuous and suspicious the way these narratives are put out in the media.
So yeah I appreciate the channel though and I love the videos keep up the good work.
I have heard of this case before and I have often wondered why he confessed so quickly. I have a theory that two things factored into his quick confession. 1, the talent of the officers interrogation techniques and 2. He wanted to get caught. He either never intended to kill his last victim and only intended to rape her but it went too far and she died or she recognized him since they had met before. Or there were two sides of him the sailor and the monster. His monster side killed her but there was still a small part of his sailor side left and he wanted to put the monster away for good. That small piece of him that remained knew he would only continue to escalate and if he confessed then no one else would die. Again this is just a theory, I could be totally wrong so don’t come for me. No one knows why hew did those things except him and we will never truly know what motivated him to do these evil things. I’m glad that officer was able to get that confession because had he not this monster would have continued to kill for who knows how long.
Just letting you know that Mr. Williams was stripped of his rank by the Chief of the Defence Staff, so you can (thankfully) actually drop the “Col.” from your title. :)
The Sergeant/Interrogator is top class forsure. Seems like a very sound and intelligent guy. If anybody, people like him are the ones that could get away with murder, but thankfully he's on the good side!
Some people in the comments are saying how it was impressive he was able to do this in a little over an hour but this wasn't in just over an hour, if you look there's a timer and there's some parts that were sped up, this took over 2 and a half hours.
I think its kinda of a tactic to be more casual sounding, like you havent planned this line out before and you are thinking off the cuff, when we very well know hes used those same lines before with other interrogations. We do end with eh alot but usually not in the middle of a line of thought like we do with 'uh' when we are thinking of the next part or a way to word it. Eh is more of a rhetorical question of agreement or an opening to the other person to elaborate, or show understanding....all shortened to a sound. Get what im saying, eh?
I'm so baffled by these people just spilling everything without bothering to ask for a lawyer. I get if they really need to just get it off their chest, but this guy doesn't seem to give 2 shits. Yikes.
I don’t care how great a neighborhood is, keep cameras up, and lock your doors. Psychopaths are real. I’m trying to figure out how this guy managed so many break-ins sheesh. Clear psychopath, didn’t even leave the neighborhood smh
for him it's just "i raped her", one emotionless second to say it. for her it must have felt like a lifetime of panic and fear and pain and things i can't imagine. i pray for her, i don't know what else to do and i don't often pray for people
AtheistOnTheEdge I respectfully disagree. When asked why these things happen, he says he doesn’t know, and it wouldn’t matter. He did the arm folding, and silent treatment. If he was bragging, we would know why he did this. IMO, he knows why, but does not want to get in to his reasons because they probably cause him embarrassment. IMO, of course. ✌️
Mr. JC you’re fine. I wasn’t responding to you. Note the original poster’s name - it’s at the beginning of my comment. I know these comment sections can be confusing sometimes. ✌️
CandiGale73 agreed. He was not bragging at all. As he put it himself, he saw it was “all wide open” at that point, so there was no reason to even try to lie.
I dont understand people who evaluate him like this. I think it is clear to see that this guy knew what he was doing was wrong and I think he knows morals. He had sexual fantasies that included rape and hurting someone and he gave into it. I dont think he took pleasure in killing them but was completely willing to do so to cover up. The sexual part was what drove him and even though he knew how wrong it was he didn't stop. Since it happened so late in his life I assume he was struggling with his deviant fantasies for a while before giving in. He also shows that he actually cares for his wife trying not to put stress on her. I think this guy has horrible sexual fantasies/instincts, found a wife he loved and had a moral code, but acted knowingly against his morals when he killed those innocent women.
@CandiGale73 no you are absolutely right :) i hope I showed that it is my opinion. Maybe I am wrong, maybe people see him differently. One of us has to be wrong and maybe I am. Just my opiniom that I see him more like that.
mq bq your entire comment was “I think.” How is that not evaluating someone? I’m sure most of us aren’t psychologists, and are only stating our opinions too - aka “I think.” You can split hairs over evaluate versus observe, but if you’re not a shrink, to observe or evaluate, your opinion is as valid as the next person’s. ✌️
@CandiGale73 I am not sure if i can follow you're argument. Me mentioning that I "think" that my evaluation is right is pointing out that it is just my opinion. I didn't say that he "is", just that I think that. So its my opinion against other peoples' opinion.
@CandiGale73 if it is the evaluation part that you argue about. Yeah I mentioned my personal evaluation vs the evaluation other people did :) I didn't mean to sound like it is bad for other people to evaluate. I just think their evaluation is off and mine is more accurate
nardinit you’re wrong. Are you saying that if you perceive something one way, and another person sees it opposite, that only one can be right? How does that work in the real world for you?
andreas johansson He’s very simplistic in the details, hesitant. He isn’t going on and on about the crimes. He answers the questions, and provides to-the-point descriptions. People who brag and/or relive their crimes, go in to finite detail, as if they are getting off by it. I listened to his confession several times. IMO, he would be much happier back at his home to look at the women’s garments, and take photos of himself wearing them. ✌️
@CandiGale73 ???? That's 100% false. Of course hes to the point and matter of fact. He's a psychopath with BPD. He's also literally smiling many times during his confession as he reads his crimes like a grocery list. He ABSOLUTELY was bragging in the exact same way many other killers do. To the point, dead eyed, and brutal. Kerry rawsons own letters with her father confirms this. He was literally excited for his confession
andreas johansson if he reads his crimes like a grocery list, where is his excitement? Last time I read mine, I wasn’t experiencing excitement. You want to see someone who is enjoying their crimes, go watch Bundy’s interview several hours before he is executed. This man lives in isolation with his perversion. He knows most will be repelled. Are you a psychologist for diagnosing Williams, or did another diagnosis him?
@CandiGale73 lol are you a psychologist? You don't need to be one when MANY have analyzed him over the years like any serial killer. He's a psychopath with narcissistic personality disorder and many think he has borderline personality disorder. Obviously he's not going to show emotion like we do. He absolutely does go into excessive detail many times like when he goes on and on excessively about his "projects", his "kill kit", and the breakdown of the murders while he's smiling many times throughout. Hell he bragged so much many of the victims families has to leave the courtroom lol. Heres a TINY snippet.
"If you've read much about serial killers, they go through what they call different phases. In the trolling stage, basically, you're looking for a victim at that time. You can be trolling for months or years, but once you lock in on a certain person, you become a stalker," he said. He then explained how the victim selection occurred: "There might be several of them, but you really hone in on one person. They basically become the [...] victim. Or, at least that's what you want it to be.."
He goes on forever. He is very clearly getting off on telling the world how "good" of a serial killer he is. He's too narcissistic not too and his own daughter confirms all of this in her book. Also he doesn't live in isolation and NEVER did. He raised a family, worked a steady job, was relatively well liked/known by his coworkers, and to this day he is one of the most prolific letter writers in American serial killer history and kerri rawson herself had to stop writing to him because he wouldn't stop bragging. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of BTK
andreas johansson WTF? You are way too defensive. I was being genuine about who diagnosed him. But, you clearly have taken issue, as if you feel I’m challenging you (I asked a very simple question. No challenged intent). I am coming at this with no background, or knowledge. I am saying what I perceived. You can’t change what I believe to be true no matter how many things you cut and paste and send to me. I’m not changing my first impression, anymore than you will.
@CandiGale73 defensive? Feel that being challenged? Lol okay candi you're not a psychologist remember? Dont put words in my mouth. You dont get to claim to know what you're talking about, perpetuate an argument, and then go "woah bro why r u do defensive?¿? Its just what i beleive!". Your beliefs are invalid in the face of psychology and science lol it really doesnt matter what you believe in. Fact is fact
What an evil bastard this guy is. Can’t imagine what Jessica’s family were going through when they heard what she endured that day. Special place in hell reserved for this man.
A true psychopath won’t break or bend under interrogation . Would have been smart enough to ask for a lawyer and would have left when the cop said you’re free to go. Don’t throw that word around so loosely.
This man is so disgusting and yet calm...I can not believe such exist. He calmly said he strangled and bound her and then left for the base because he had to fly early the next morning? How dare you, you took someone’s life and you have the audacity to go about your own like nothing happened. Disgusting.
The cold-bloodedness in this guy was probably not enough to alleviate inner thoughts that someday some of his sick and demented photos will be out for the public to see.
I’d bet $50 his wife knew something. Not everything, but she knew he had some sketchyyy kinks. Theres no way he did so much without showing his wife anything telling over the years.
And than this man turns down offers that could make him a very wealthy man, his integrity is that of a dang saint! No blood money being generated by this MAN! They don't make them like this very often. Just when I thought I couldn't love him any more!
He didnt even ejaculate, and in one case he even nursed the girl after her seizure, AND THEN proceeded to kill her. Clearly he liked to dominate and the power he had over these women's body and lives and that he could control them gave him a satisfaction he knew he cannot replace with anything else. So was he a textbook psychopath sexual deviant? If yes, why did he seem distraught at the thought of his wife being upset? He knew what he did was wrong, and felt disappointed too, and psychopaths feel no remorse. I wish I could understand clearly as to WHY would someone do this and their mindset that led to this. Imagine being his wife who knows him as a strong hero, a loving husband and an organized meticulous well made person.... Her world must have been shattered. Poor thing.
I wouldn't say he was "distraught" at the thought of how his wife would be affected. More like a casual concern, like one would have at the thought of their car getting scratched up. And saying he was disappointed doesn't necessarily mean he felt remorseful. He didn't elaborate, so he could have meant disappointed he got caught, or he could have meant nothing at all and just hoped a vague expression of remorse, combined with acting like he was worried about his wife, would be enough to gain some sort of sympathy and lessen some of the consequences on himself.
Psychopaths too, can develop feelings of remorse in rare cases for very specific important persons in their life’s, his wife being most likely the only person in his life he truly ‘cares’ about.
jedi1706 fan this is true in most cases, but psychopaths can actually very rarely feel true ‘concern’ for someone that they love. Which is clearly visible in this video, he does not give a fuck about any of the girls he murdered and raped, but to the one person he cares for he truly shows concern.
@Gideon Jones I agree on the remorse part, he probably was disappointed that he got caught over such a trivial detail, which was made up, but ofc he didnt know it then.
However, i do feel he did have a level of concern for his wife. How he confessed everything to the last detail because he didnt want his wife to sit through multiple trials.
In all the cases ive seen and heard of psychopaths, sociopaths and others, one thing ive understood is they are all different when it comes to their motivation, what kind of harm gratifies them, how they treat their family, and they react when caught.
They are all different. No emotions, no remorse is a very generalized idea to them. Its true, but theres a lot more to them than that.
There's a quote by Hannah Arendt, taken from her writings on the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals, that's always really resonated with me: "Nobody is all monster, all the time." She wrote this in response to testimony showing that even the most irredeemably monstrous and sadistic Nazi war criminals all seemed to have aspects of their lives in which they genuinely seemed to care, even care deeply, for such things as their pets, their mundane hobbies, their wives or mothers, etc. For example, Eichmann personally, deliberately orchestrated the unspeakably cruel and brutal torture-murders of millions of innocent men, women, and even newborn infants...yet he apparently loved caring for his pet chickens; he treated them with immense tenderness, and was distraught at the thought of them not being cared for. Hitler adored and babied his dog, and Jeffery Dahmer was devoted to caring for his tropical fish. Myra Hindley, who had tortured and murdered numerous small children, apparently became inconsolable when she learned her beloved dog had died.
probably was a lousy lover, and his wife knew he was a failure in that way. the guy was not casanova. look at him. probably felt the only way a woman would give him attention was if he abducted her.
At 28.00 why is he looking at the evidence like this is brand new information and chewing his stupid gum. This investigators patience is award winning.
Ted Bundy did that and we all know what happened^^

Also, after 4 minutes the interrogator is clearly letting him know that he's a suspect, but the guy has no reaction...If you're innocent you would say : WHAT DID YOU SAY ?! Am I a suspect ?!
Great cover honestly. Being in the military regularly means long hours and secret missions over weekends is you rank high enough.

I would never trust him, he has no lips! He looks creepy as hell, especially in his uniform. His arrogance made him believe he'd NEVER be caught! So much so, he even wore his murder shoes to the Police Station. This is a perfect example of an evil psychopath. Amazing work by the Interegator. He sure showed him who was the boss! So refreshing to see good police work.
@Little Miss eats crisps for breakfast haha its just my theory..." No lips, no good " ☺️ they must have spoken so many lies over the years.... Their lips have been worn out 🤔

I wish the officer hadn't said the DNA results would be back so quickly. The fastest a lab can return DNA results is 4 hours (though in 2010 that test wasn't available), but standard DNA tests are 24-72 hours. If you need PCR or other modern amplification techniques, it's at least 72 hours. If you're going to bluff, be careful not to give away that it's a bluff so obviously. That could have easily backfired (though I'm glad it didn't).
Leaves her doors unlocked, all her valuables set there yet she was murdered by a commander. In charge of 7000 men with the best military gear. Canookastan disarmed all its citizens, only people in government can own guns. Hope you all feel safe!

No they did not, you can own a gun in Canada....we just dont feel the need to have one like everyone in the US. My cousin had rifles and shot guns and one hand gun but since he wasn't that much into hunting or going to the range anymore he sold them and never got his license renewed again after that. We have stricter laws regarding guns, and more hurdles to jump to get one but that helps weed out those who really dont need a gun or want to acquire a gun for the wrong reasons. You can easily find this on the canadian government website which details in how a citizen applies for a firearm license or you can go off ignorance and spout bullshit. Here is our gun registration website which details everything http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms
Question. How is it that the interrogator was allowed to lie about the footprints being like fingerprints? I mean, I see it all the time, investigators lying about the evidence that they claim to have, was wondering why it is ok for them to do..?
Can't speak for Canadian law, but in the U.S., there is a difference between lying to a suspect about inculpatory evidence for a crime they already committed vs. lying to a suspect to entrap them in a crime. Remember: there is no such law that says cops cannot lie to you.
Ok...When the phycologist will end the session treatment and the police investigator will come in to interrogate? Whaaaattt? He's the investigator !?!? Impossible!!!
His responses are cold, calculated, no emotions. When detective asks about details of rape, is the only time his response seems somewhat shameful but not remorseful. I’m kinda weirded out by fact that rapist would do oral sex on victim. Idk a lot on subject, but wtf does rapist actually think victim would enjoy that? Completely creepy, awkward
Where were all those defectives during Karla Hamolka /Paul Bernardo integration that ended up setting one of the most notorious serial killer in the history free?
I don't think I need to add that this case it's fucking horrifying but what struck me hard was the woman who went looking for her cat: I'm no idiot to not know about how vulnerable we are as women, but I've never tought about how something so mundane for me was the beggining of the end for another poor soul.. truly, truly horrendous. I hope they're resting in peace.
Does anyone notice in Canada anytime Bernardo’s case is brought up in interrogations the people’s reaction? It’s equivalent to in the USA Bundy, Bittaker/Norris, it’s almost like a bogeyman name drop.
It was a very public gruesome case that we all thought "just doesnt happen in canada". Happened in a relatively quiet part of the country but it scared alot of people being as it was so alike those 70's/80's serial killers in other countries but in our face in "modern day". And the fact it was a sadistic couple just sensationalized it even more. Its a shame that the parents had to live through that media coverage too on a regular basis like that, cause it was talked about and in media constantly.
Nick Morris ??? He’s in the military. He’s conditioned to make decisions that cost lives and not crack under foreign interrogators. Pretty sure cops either have less or the same amount of training as any normal military interrogator
Soldiers are not trained to deny information and resist enemy interrogation. It's accepted that captured soldiers will tell what they know under interrogation or even torture.
@Feudela Really? That's interesting. I always thought (from watching too many movies) that they were trained to just give their name rank and ID to interrogators
@JamalTheTitan yeah that's what you're "supposed" to do. But after you enlist, you see that there are some people you can trust with your life....and others need a string from chow-bricks-work. And somehow still get lost.
@JamalTheTitan My dad was in the air force, served on a gunship, and went through SERE training. They put you through a mock prison camp and train you to resist interrogation to an extent. Nothing too sophisticated though.
I’ve watched this interview in it’s entirety and that Russell Williams has ice water running through his veins. Bravo to that interrogator for cracking that tough nut. I live in Ottawa and it’s horrifying to think that he could have done that to me or my daughter. He is disturbed to say the least.
I dont know what to say but i didnt find Russel to be such a tough guy. You could see him he breaks down from the first minutes. Didnt challenge the detective at all.
@Constantine he wanted to get caught; I think part of him was disgusted with who he was

@Ivan Getsukdov I'd disagree. He had a lot more to lose than your average man. He seemed distraught about his wife finding out. I think he legit thought he was just gonna answer some questions and leave. "No one would suspect ME I'm the friggin colonel for godsake."
I actually prefered unflavored gum until I found out that the gum itself is as bad as the artificial flavorings. Turns out any gum you can buy in a supermarket is basically bleached tire rubber that's interlaced with so much phthalates that it nearly melts when you chew it up and mix the components. So that's fun, who doesn't like chronic sublingual exposure of hormone disruptors?
@Lyft Eeng Yeah, some brands do that after a good while. I hated that. Not sure what the difference is but if I had to take a guess I would say the kind that turns to fucking swamp mush is probably a more traditional rubber while the kind that doesn't is probably some horrible silicone/silicone oil mix.
@mindache Eh, anyone with a discerning eye can assemble a healthy meal in a supermarket, just not as cheaply. Most people like their money and their sugar induced dopamine high a lot more that they like thinking about the future of their health. If the demand wasn't there, the 98% of crap that causes most heath disorders wouldn't be on the shelf.
@Atlas Reburdened sugar chasing-ill educated-television indoctrinated-bots are not real problem. i think ( and i am 3rd world oldfuck without future) "just not as cheaply" part is the core of the problem.
profit chasing profit to gain more profit disregarding anything else is whats fuckin us all. whole damn planet.
@mindache Yeah, but what I mean is that if literally no one bought the cheap junk, the businesses that make cheap junk would go out of business. I agree that blind profit chasing is a terrible idea for everyone, but even that is fine if the people have a minimum threshold of quality and responsibility that they will accept.
Btw, literally nothing threatens the earth. The earth started as a fiery death orb of pure lava which was pummeled for millions of years by what we would now call civilization ending comets, and then life happened. We could make it hard for ourselves to be here, but nothing except the sun expanding in a few billion years and swallowing it up will ruin it's ability to harbor some sort of life.
@Atlas Reburdened despite others telling you to shut the fuck up, I suspect you're right. When you live in the country, you see just how resilient life is. We spend 50% of our time in the summer simply beating-back nature; otherwise it would literally take over.
If you take a plane from Toronto and start flying north, you realize in short order that nature's not going anywhere anytime soon. There ain't nothing BUT trees here in Canada.
When the investigator mentions the reason for the "questioning", the suspect should immediately recognize that he has been busted, and refuse to answer. The tire tracks, and the boot prints, undeniably point to him. And, to think, they made him a colonel. A poor warrior, indeed
...so you know what he would do if ever shot down behind enemy lines...they wouldn't have to torture him at all to get info from him...were was all that military training at...he should have took that offer to leave when feeling uncomfortable go back to the base steal a plane an haul ass to whereabouts unknown...smh
@James Vickers His soul was burning from inside, he could no longer keep in the secrets eating him from inside. He wanted it to be over and felt a brief sense of relief thanks to the interrogators mental technique of building trust in under an hour.
@Stephanie Hernandez I don't have the right mentality for it. I'm not sure I'd be able to stay objective and I suspect my emotions would get the better of me. If you think you'd love a job like this, more power to you. We definitely need people like you to do jobs like this.
I've been watching this a few minutes at a time, once his giving the details of his interaction with his victims. I can't imagine how he's keeping it so cool and staying focused on his interrogation and the techniques he needs while talking with this monstrous individual.
My brother in law says hequit being a police officer due to the politics, but, when you get him drunk, you learn it's cause he couldn't handle all the cases of kids being hurt.
It seems like the Canadian Police really don't fuck around. I've never heard of police in the US setting up a roadblock to check people's tires and match them to a print at a crime scene.
i must have watched this and other versions, yes the full interview too, a dozen times. ill be honest, iam not the biggest fan of the police at all but i cannot deny the brilliance of detective jim smyth at cornering this murderer. ofc the detective had prepared for the interview knowing this murderer is a high ranking officer. i salute him as well as the investigators that worked on this case for bringing justice,at least, to the families.
This video brings back ugly memories of a job interview last year -- it went very much like this. "Your resume says you worked on <xyz tech> between 2015-2017. Can you tell me more about that?" "I...uh...I don't remember"
Job interviewers also use the silence technique hoping you will fill the dead air with nervous talk so they can gain insight into what kind of person you are. After I'm done giving my answer I always just shut up and wait for the next question. I have never not got a job offer I have interviewed for.
There's an actor who does play him in a fictionalized movie based on this, and the guy looks eerily like Williams. Definitely Woody Harrelson could play the part too - he's got that unhinged look that would work for the Williams character; restrained but with something simmering just below the surface.
YESS, HIS FACE MIMICS ARE VERY MUCH LIKE HARRELSONS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOMENT CHIGUR IN NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN HAVE HIM SITTING IN FRONT OF HIM WITH A SHOTGUN....SPOT ON!!
Ziggybam Murphy ——-Seriously? I didn’t know there even was a movie on him, but Gary Cole? He played the military guy who killed his whole family—‘Fatal Vision’. Weird
Woody is best at screwing up world chess championship. I’d hate to see him even try to go here. He is too funny. Also “Zomblie Land Two, Double Tap” is about to come out and you think a hair line defines who should get a roll. I think Ed Harrison or the guy who played Aragon would be better.
I don't care if I'm guilty or innocent, I'm immediately calling for my lawyer and leaving. Kinda scary to think that he may have gotten away with that last murder, and potentially more in the future, if he had simply asked for a lawyer.
As long as Russell and the detective were talking, there was hope that she could still be alive somewhere. When Russell asked for a map it was like all the air was punched out of my body because that meant she was dead. That one, short question from Russell changed everything in a split second. I've never experienced that before. It made me cry. So sad; she was beautiful and young; going about her life like all of us girls have done. Turns out the boogeyman is real.
@Burnt Toast thank you for replying!! I seriously don’t understand how I didn’t see these. So apparently there’s a Jessie Smollett one too by JCS if ya wanted to watch it!
Watching this is so insane. His reactions to what he did are so cold and calculated, but it's all so matter of fact. Definitely a complete lack of emotion or empathy.
If anyone is wondering why this video is unlisted (basically still uploaded but not able to be seen unless on a playlist) it’s because he deleted like 3 or 4 videos from his channel including this one and putting those ones on his patreon instead of just making patreon exclusive content
Also just realizing he never even advertises his patreon so idk what the point in doing that to himself was just seems like an easy way to get less views from people who binge watch these on YouTube
@TheZaZaSmoker Yeah it's kinda weird since he doesn't even mention his patreon also I remember watching this video a while back before it was unlisted and when I went to rewatch it and couldn't find it I honestly started to question whether I imagined JCS covering this lmao.
Not saying this man shouldn't have gone to jail. Should have. But, let this be a lesson we all learn. DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE WITHOUT A LAWYER. AGAIN. GET YOU A LAWYER BEFORE YOU SAY A WORD!

68 likes@Jason Wolf maybe it's less of caring and more of respect as an afterthought. He chose who he would "respect" and hold in"esteem", and who he wouldn't. But he respects and esteems himself the most, so he did the brutal shit that HE wanted to do. That would be his logic in guessing, not defending the guy at all.

55 likesI kind of get the feeling. No reason to feel anything for people who aren't important to you in your life. It's a waste.
10 likes@Valinor Feelings/empathy for human life isn't typically only felt for humans you can benefit from.
34 likesTypically, humans have the capacity and tend to empathize with and feel for another human being just because it's naturally social beings' nature to. An inability to do that is a socio/psychopathic/narcissistic trait.
@Beautyalaritz its not about people I care about being beneficial or not. Simply not caring about those who aren't in my "circle". Why bother?
3 likesits an exchange of one way compassion which he doesnt want to lose and hurt his ego
10 likes@Beautyalaritz Right, even Ted Bundy exhibited clear empathy for Liz Kloepfer. He felt bad that he incinerated one victim's head in her fireplace, and he felt urges to kill her but would make himself stay away from her during those periods so that he wouldn't hurt her. Even if it was a low level of empathy on the scale of things ("I care about your feelings enough to not murder you"), it was still something.
13 likesIt makes you wonder: if he had spent much longer periods of time with some of his victims, would he have still killed them all? If he got to know them and had lengthy, real conversations with them? Probably, but who knows.
nah he's just concerned about his image in her eyes, he is clearly selfish. if he cared about his wifes feelings he never would have done all that fucked up shit

2 likesI watched a video of the four most creepy interviews from serial killers here on YouTube and the reporter asked the man while showing the murderer a picture of his daughter as a little girl, “how would you feel if a man kidnapped, raped, and murdered your daughter?” He just said. “I wouldn’t appreciate it.” The reporter said, “that’s it? That’s all the response you have?” The murderer seemed dumb founded and said he compartmentalizes his victims and his family. He couldn’t even make the connection.
4 likesHappy wife happy life (in prison)
0 likesEh, people say a lot of shit, but I feel like he was the only one I've watched where I felt like he truly regretted what he did. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like he had a compulsion he absolutely felt he needed to act on, and it wasn't necessarily something he was proud of. He didn't want to hurt his wife, or the reputation of the Canadian Armed Forces,. I could be wrong, of course. I'm not excusing what he did, just to be clear.

2 likesfireflocs I wouldn’t say this guy falls under the normal category
2 likesI believe this is due to his sociopathic nature. The girls who he murdered didn't know the facade he put on his entire life for his friends and family. He didn't want his wife to think badly of him because she did know that facade, and because he believed that SHE believed the lies. The most important thing for a sociopath is to be liked (by those who know them, not murder victims who clearly see past the lies).
6 likesThis is just my own personal, educated opinion.
:)
In contrast, a psychopath typically wouldn't care who likes them and who doesn't, as long as they get their way. The psychopath cares more for convenience in lies than its affect on others.
cballin you are the greatest of all time
2 likes@Lee Price Sounds more like you have an anti-female bias. There's a difference between exclusive love and general empathy that you're conflating. If you read further down, a number of women clarify that they don't love all men the same as their partners, but they still feel empathy for men who are suffering. Same for me in terms of women. I hope you will reflect and eventually grow out of this immature mindset that women's perspectives are not to be trusted. As a man, let me inform you it reflects badly on your character. But I have hope you can change.
4 likesHe doesnt care about her; it's said to appear as if he does have feelings.
3 likesHe knows the extent of the absolute depravity and embarrassment. Maybe if he says he's being honest "for his wife" she may be the only chance of anyone who could possibly search for empathy in him. He knows how much people are gonna despise the fact he's alive from this point on.
I don't believe he really cares about his wife and her feelings. I think what he really means is how this will affect the image of himself and his life, that he has carefully crafted in his mind, and his wife was an essential prop.

The most effective torture can get people to confess to things they've never even thought about doing, which means unless specifically trained if you DID do something you'll be confessing to that too, anything to make it stop.

6 likes@Yowie I'm sorry it seemed that way to you, but the bulk of my comment was about how one could get false positives. But the point of my comment was that torture is indeed effective, TOO effective. This was in response to someone saying it was not effective. I mean the goal of torture is to get someone to confess to something, right? Its really good at that. Including making innocent people confess to things they've never done. But we're not just trying to get any old person to confess to an act, but the actual perpetrator of said act. So we do not use torture, which is basically you and I saying the same thing, I'm just defining it as super effective at getting confessions while its being defined elsewhere as ineffective because it gets false confessions. Both are true.

Most were useless and destroyed in surgical strikes. Most people don’t know that Hussein worked for us and actually took directions from us. We used 9/11 to gin up support to replace him and reignite religious warfare in the region. The idea was to get rid of all the secular strong men who did a decent job of keeping everyone in line with brutal tactics. What would replace this system was the Arab Spring which saw an uprising in religious violence and sectarianism. Assad is the last Secular Strong man but probably won’t hold out much longer. The Western Powers intend for the Middle East to be in a state of perpetual violence.

0 likesJust FYI, any clearance level also requires an NTK (Need To Know) to be worth a shit. Just because you have a clearance doesn't mean they hand you a booklet with all information related to national security. People in that rank need a Top Secret by default, as a technicality, so all you need is a clean background. The guy doesn't know shit other than having access to some resources that could get him information, but those same resources would also raise huge red flags if the information he gets a hold of isn't relevant to his job (aka doesn't have a Need To Know that information). We can assume that the people who actually hold valuable information would have impressive qualities that render them a true asset to national security, and have a Need To Know for that information. Chances are they wouldn't break this easily, this guy's just a chump who worked his way through the ranks without particular excellence.

0 likes@Bryan L That's correct. Security clearance doesn't mean you are privy to all material up to and included your security clearance level. It's there because some of the material you have to read or handle will sometimes be secure documents. When I was serving in the military, I was cleared for the second highest security level (Top Secret, which was the highest level for national documents, but the top NATO security level I was not cleared for, which I think is called Cosmic Top Secret now, but we called it NATO Top Secret back then) because my job was to deliver documents to the correct individuals with the proper security clearance. Basically, you can't just give Top Secret documents to a random soldier and tell him to give them to an officer with Top Secret clearance. The courier also needs that clearance or he's not allowed to handle the documents. It was funny knowing that I had, as a private, a higher security clearance than most officers above me in the base, but the Top Secret documents themselves weren't that interesting most of the time. It was mostly just a bunch of [REDACTED] for [REDACTED].

51 likesI believe a lot of interrogations rely directly on the suspect. One suspect can take 6 hours with an interrogator to get a confession while another could take 5 minutes with the same interrogator. It is not necessarily the mind games played, some people want to get caught, others want to string it out as long as possible. He was a good interrogator in this instance, and the suspect was very willingly giving information.

0 likesEvans Automotive this interrogation was actually like 6-7 hours from the time he arrived. In my opinion, if he had not given the boot prints, he would have left the interrogation and bought himself a little time. He could have gone home and lawyered up soon after. He could potentially have fought the allegations, but he was going to be #1 suspect forever. The DNA on Marie France was too degraded to be tested I heard, so Russ’s DNA sample wasn’t going to incriminate him. The smart thing Det Smith did was convince him the DNA sample was soon to be matched. Most likely a good lie on his part. Anyway, Russ was not going to confess unless he was done, and the boot prints kind of sealed it (the search warrants were issued after that, and they would have found tons of evidence in Russ’s place). Still an amazing interrogation to get a full confession, but if Russ wore different shoes, he wasn’t confessing on this day and could even potentially be a free man to this day. Scary thought
5 likescravenblade2 ok bud sorry didn’t know you were a detective with over 30,000 hours of interrogation time. Oh you’re not? Well you sure like to act like it
4 likesExcept, it took more than 7 hours in there and 3-4 before he started confessing. But our host here is as much as a liar as this guy. He simply shifted the timestamp out of view and included his own. When he speeds up the time it's a lot more in reality, but gives the impression that it's on this fake timeframe that he inserts. He is doing that in every video, I bet. Weirdly, this makes the man appear as if he never said anything prior to his confession, because that is all cut out of the video. That's why this didn't impress me. Should have known that there is a lot more to it.

0 likes@damselcausingdistress 81 I totally agree, in the US some police officers use leading questions with a little bit of evidence they found mixed in the middle so the suspect picks up on that information and repeats it. Once that is done the officer would berate the suspect and use bullying tactics to extract a false confession. With many of the prisons being privatised with incentives for filling cells it's so easy to gain a conviction especially when you have crooked judges and district attorneys in the pockets of the privatised prison wardens. Its always the poor and mentally ill who cant afford competent lawyers. If they do get bail then theyve got the hundreds of bail bonds companies to deal with who are cropping up on every street corner in the poorest districts of America putting the poor into further financial hardship. I feel so bad for these people, with a justice system so bent in the favour of the wealthy the poor dont stand a chance.

Meet your burden of proof and demonstrate that the "host" is being deceptive in this video and, allegedly, all others.

Why would he elect to include downtime prior to the interrogation in the timestamp and which reality do you experience that doesn't match up with the timestamp when it's accelerated forward? That's nonsensical. Again, do present your evidence as well as a working mechanism we can use to delineate your beliefs from delusions. Thanks!

0 likesThe time it had taken to get the confession was a lot longer than an hour. There is a lot of footage that was redacted from the interview before the confession happened. In the actual video, there is a clock in the corner and the time jumps quite a bit in some places. When Smith askes Williams about when he started working at the base, the time jumps quite some time but in the video, Williams says " The Friday, I was". Parts are redacted all over the place. Plus after the confession, the interviews lasted for a week. I read this somewhere on line and thought I would love to see the rest of the interrogations for this case. But the confessions were redacted in most of what happened, ie how he tortured his victims.
0 likes@xebek No, there is no reality reflected in the timestamp. There is original video of this and it went on for 8 or 9 hours. The timestamp used in this video is self-made. The original timestamp is further down and moved out of view, as I explained. You can ask yourself why that is. It's featured in a 5th Estate video. Can't remember if I linked to it.
0 likesThe fast-forward is nonsense, because it's in relation to this manufactured timestamp, not the real one.
Clearly the original poster believes that the guy got cracked in under 2 hours and it's one of the top comments. That's what we are responding to. And apparently 3k people like it, so they must think it''s true...right?
So, not to have myself being called delusional on the internet, heavens forbid...here is your proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj7QRP37Wn0
Do you see that "15" down there towards the beginning? And towards the end the "20"? Yes, it is not fully in view. But I'm sure you can still make it out. Ok, that's about 5 hours that I can visually confirm, not 8-9. And originally I said 7. Alright. I'll admit that much. Maybe they said in the video it was longer, not gonna watch it again. Anyway, that is clearly the ORIGINAL timeframe. For some reason our presenter here chose to focus with a close-up on the upper part of the original footage, inserting another counter. That he then comically fast-forwards as if that means something. Why would you do that other than being dramatic and deceitful?

59 likes@DickDickstein This is exactly why people like nurses, doctor, engineers, and the like are often not selected for jury duty. One of the sides knows all they have is BS those analytical type people are the most likely to put their emotions aside. They are also the more likely to understand the evidence and processes explained to them and see potential weaknesses in them. I have watched an engineer who is an expert in his given field develop tunnel vision and put his reputation on the line so day the cause of X was Y only to have it be Z. Experts can be wrong. At the exact same time another engineer we brought in for the same investigation repeatedly said to everyone, including the first expert, that while the theory itself is valid the evidence does not point to that and more testing was needed.
16 likesThe point here is two fold. First) Experts can be wrong and develop tunnel vision, I have personally witnessed it. Second) The expert was very convincing and it took another expert to recognize the error. The second expert was also able to accompany the evidence the entire way from discovery to testing. This does not happen in criminal cases. You have to trust the group who is trying to take your liberty away.

6 likesI must confess that I did initially take that renowned expert on foot ware impressions line seriously. My thinking was that boot outsole and tire tread patters are in no way unique to him (though a matching combination of both would've been suspicious enough). However, any possible damage or wear captured by the impressions (provided they were clear enough) would've been unique to him.
there is actually a renowned footwear analyst from new brunswick. the reason he is so renowned is because he is the one who came up with the techniques examining footwear from the inside. identifying footprints from shoes. this guy is known for solving a murder here in miramichi. theres a whole forensic files episode on it, if you're interested

0 likesBecause Canadians don’t have the same style of Miranda rights as Americans. Once you are read your rights snd owed an attorney, they can still force you in an interview. This was affirmed in a case where the suspect asked for his lawyer 46 times and the police would not let him go back to his jail cell. In the us, anything said after evoking your right to a lawyer is inadmissible in court. Basically, Canadians are subject to harsher interviewing because they don’t have the option to run to their cell. Americans culture is very focused on personal freedoms, whereas Canada’s is not. It makes sense.

No he wouldnt.

His footprints were also matched identically to footprints left at the victims house along with the tire tracks.
He would never have been able to explain that away.
He was fucked from the second s he arrived at the station.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse wrong. There isn’t a court out there thats gonna convict on those two things alone. Why do you think he made up that whole story about having the best shoe-print analyzer in the country? And rare or otherwise unless there is some type of serial number “rare” doesn’t cut it. It was tread and any number of that tire could be in that city as well as that shoe print as far as anyone knows. Its not a unique marker. Absolutely no way he would’ve gotten a murder conviction on those two things alone. Period. Because as well as all that those two things only put him at the scene, not inside the house and there was no DNA evidence of any kind to place him in contact with the woman or place him inside the house at any point. He could make up any number of lies as to why those were there but he wouldn’t have to because those things wouldn’t be enough to even hold him. The narrator said it even, he could’ve walked out of that interview at any time before he copped to the murder. They didn’t even know it was murder until he confessed
786 likes@The Introspectre nope, they probably would t be enough by themselves although I've seen convictions come back on far less evidence.
44 likesThere were many other examples of incriminating evidence, such as the deleted victim photographs he took, and less damning but equally devastating items belonging to the victims which williams took and stored at his home, such as the panties and brassieres he took from their homes. The combined evidence pool would hang buried him regardless of whether he spoke or not. I'm afraid his admittance simply confirmed what these fantastic detectives already knew and could already prove.
Edit:
Its a common tactic to say they're free to leave any time they choose to, but there is no chance he would having left the corridor, never mi d the building. Its a clever tactic to give the subject a false sense of security. If Williams had tried to leave he would have been detained at the other side of the door.
You see, the police dont interview people when theyre at a disadvantage. They ARREST people in order to get time to build up their evidence, but sometimes they already have enough evidence to build a case without a confession and interviewing suspects is generally the final section of the arrest phase.
They've already built the foundation of their case by the time they come to interview suspects and whilst it's true that certain answers suspects give can affect the outcome of the arrest phase, sometimes theyre only conducted to confirm the polices suspicions.
That's what happened here.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse You talk about the evidence at his house but they wouldn’t have gotten the warrant. He really could’ve walked out he wasn’t under arrest and they didn’t have enough to hold him to get a warrant to investigate. He had a mountain of evidence locked behind the very solid vault door of plausible deniability. They lied to get him there. He was a colonel in the military they were gonna need more than that to bring him down or even hold him. There are way more cases that go dead at interrogation than are solved. So many more murders go unsolved especially once you break the first 48 hour mark. Dude was free and clear until he talked.
239 likes@The Introspectre wouldnt have gotten a warrant?
29 likesYou clearly have zero familiarity with arrest procedures.
With a rare tire match and footwear match from the victims driveway they would have a warrant within the length of time it took the judge to sign it off!
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse if they could’ve gotten a warrant they would’ve immediately. I don’t understand the condescension. And again, even in the interrogation he lied about having the best analyzer and even the narrator alludes to the fact that this was an embellishment and that this evidence isn’t as conclusive as the interrogator was making it seem. Rare doesn’t mean unique. They aren’t just gonna give a warrant because something is rare. Any number of Suvs could’ve had those tires and any number of people could’ve had those shoes, they are not gonna get a warrant on that. They cant even place the vehicle there technically. You could lie and say someone changed the tires; no GPS saying yea this specific vehicle was there, no license plate. Way to condescend while presenting a very flimsy and naive argument.

Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse Who dis?
10 likesNí Síocháin Gan Saoirse both you commenters make good points. I don’t know who’s right, you or Crimson. I think Williams was an idiot for agreeing to go into the interview. I would have called a lawyer right away, especially since he knew that he was guilty. The question is then how quickly would they have been able to get the warrants. They probably would not have been able to get them if he had not agreed to go in for an interview because many undiscovered culprits could have had those tire tracks. They didn’t even have the footwear evidence against him at that point. They only had the tire tracks at that point. So, I have to agree with Crimson that you are wrong. My opinion is that he could have gotten away with everything if he was a little shrewder and not gone in for that interview, and instead, gotten a lawyer right away.
46 likesNí Síocháin Gan Saoirse I think they were bluffing him a lot in the interview. When he came in for the interview, they didn’t yet know he had those same boots. They only knew he had the same tires. They didn’t have search warrants either yet when he came in for the interview. They were bluffing him on that also. But, their suspicion of him definitely increased very quickly as he answered their first few questions. An innocent person would have instantly stood up and asked for a lawyer while loudly protesting their innocence as soon as they realized they were being questioned about some murders. If he had any real intelligence, he would’ve loudly and violently admonished the detective for even thinking a colonel like himself could have anything to do with this case. He should have said: “Are you guys fucking nuts? Do you know who I am in the community? I’m not answering any of your questions. I’m leaving now and phoning up my lawyer.” I don’t know how you think they could’ve held him with only a match on the tire tracks. And, they didn’t have any warrants yet. They only got the warrants after he started acquiescing to their line of questioning. And, I don’t even think they needed the warrants and they were just bluffing him on that because as he started admitted everything.
50 likesHe could have claimed he was having an affair with her, and parked away from the house, he could also follow that up by saying she was also seeing someone else so him parking away benefitted both of them and that if this other person found out they wouldn't be happy, redirecting the murder to someone else and at the same time his show of guilt and anxiety would be because of being unfaithful to his wife. They would ask why he didn't come forward and he would respond with wanting to keep the whole affair a secret from his wife, if he gave evidence she would find out about the affair.
25 likeswas thinking the same. could easliy be framed...
1 like@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse you might have missed the part where Williams willingly allowed the police to inspect his boots during the interview. The video skips ahead during that part but there's 18 minutes of the interview cut out just after the 24 minute mark.
38 likesIf he had lawyered up instead of cooperating he wouldn't have been free and clear but driving the same type of vehicle with the same brand of offroad tire and living near several attacks is not enough for the warrant or a conviction. The investigation into him wouldn't have ended and they had DNA from one victim who was forcibly confined so they definitely would have taken Williams' DNA from the coffee cup he drank from and matched it to that to get a warrant if he had lawyered up or followed him around until acquiring a sample if he hadn't accidentally given one in the interview. They also might have eventually found the body and gained more evidence from that or other parts of the investigation.
That doesn't change the fact that they didn't have much of anything on him at the beginning of the interrogation though. Suspicion but not enough for a warrant so if Williams had shut up, gotten a lawyer, and cleared the evidence out of his house, which admittedly is not the easiest thing to do perfectly when police are following you, he could have gotten away with it, potentially. So you are kind of wrong but still kind of right because the investigation might have shaken all kinds of things loose from the people around Williams like his wife or friends that suddenly realize they have information about him.
You're kind of a rude dick that didn't pay enough attention, just fyi
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse You keep saying rare tire print but it is still a mass produced tire and fairly common for an SUV.
60 likesYou're sitting over here acting like they had a conclusive DNA match and not just a tire tread match. People may have been convicted on less, many people are convicted of crimes they didn't even commit so that's a moot point, but people have definitely been found not guilty despite way more evidence against them and having way shadier backgrounds than a career military man.
So yeah, a great prosecutor with the right jury and judge could get a conviction but a great defense attorney with the right judge and jury could get him off.
Whatever his odds were of avoiding conviction, whether low or high, I'm sure we can both agree they went way down after he confessed and provided evidence against himself.

5 likesHe knew there was no way out and this was basically a formality. Didn't want to cause a mess for the military to deal with, perhaps. Quite possibly also might have wanted to confess, because he was disappointed - as he says - in himself because of his urges. Although that might just be him setting up the best line of defense for a later trial. Certainly smarter than to boast or be uncooperative.
The interrogator did next to zero to make this happen. Not only did Williams accept the informal style by letting the interrogator use his (one) firstname...later he even offers him the nickname? Why??? I refuse to believe that someone in this line of career would let himself be treated like this unless he simply chooses to.
Regarding the amusing fight in here: The problem is that the defense hinges on JCS having all the facts. Which seems not to be the case. Shouldn't trust any old Youtuber to spread nothing but gospel. This channel seems to focus on promoting interrogation "techniques" that seem more fitting to use on kindergarten children than adults. Especially those who are capable of severe brutality and calculated acts. All of the accused are either dumb as bricks (Lazarus) or acting to get a lesser sentence when they know they are done for (like probably Williams, here). To believe for one second that these people can be impressed with "ego-up" and such nonsense...as if.

@The Introspectre They (foot prints and tire tracks) both have unique markers. The detective even states that shoe prints are as unique as fingerprints and goes into why.
6 likesThere are differences in wear, flaws on both which reflects variances in pressure and distinctive markings caused by the way you walk and drive, the things you've walked on and/or ran over. Look deeper into the forensic science of these things.

@TheSP33DFREAK It's a sign of intelligence not to argue with statements that are obviously untrue and can be verified simply by fact-checking. In this post-truth era, it's ridiculous to argue with somebody who doesn't believe in objective truth and facts.
2 likes"As shoes and tires are used, their physical features change over time. This is called wear, and is often reflected in the imprint or pattern left behind. In the case of a tire track, if a vehicle is out of alignment, the right front tire may be heavily worn on the outer edge, leaving a unique wear pattern. A forensic examiner can use that wear pattern along with the tread pattern and information gained from database searches to positively match that impression to the suspect’s vehicle."
4 likesIt's not the tire or footprint that is unique, it's the wear.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse my friend, don't be so nasty. Your handle is Irish, and if you are, maybe you don't understand the way the legal system works on this side of the pond. I'm glad this man was caught and so happy he's been held accountable for what he's done. But from a legal standpoint, he would have been FAR better off by lawyering up in the first place.
4 likesThe investigators clearly state they are bluffing in this video over and over. Would he have got off? Eh, probably not. BUT, he made their jobs easy by not getting legal representation. Which I'm glad of. Hopefully more dumb criminals fall for that shite. That being said, the people you're arguing with aren't wrong. He made a grave mistake in not seeking counsel.
@Justin Mercer at least you were decent, so I'll reciprocate your decency.
4 likesI had said earlier in this thread that I'm not american but I still maintain evidence building is NOT a consideration in many of these people I'm into it with.
They simply watch too much csi and know little about how to formulate a case defence or prosecution.
@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse I appreciate you recognizing that. Just as an aside, I find interactions are more productive when we're civil. Well most interactions anyway lol. Sometimes we gotta be wild apes.
6 likesBut to your point yes, many if not most people apply csi logic to real life crimes. I think where the disconnect might lay is that at least in the U.S. ( can't speak for other countries, but I've [unfortunately] been on both sides of the law. Minor in the criminal side but experienced on the other) is cops have every legal right to lie and play up the "civilians" idea that csi type forensics exist. If you believe a tire print is as unique as a finger print, there is no protocol in place to keep a u.s. cop from misleading you. They can tell you the earth is flat if they believe it will help to convict you. That's why it's important (no matter how smart you are) to have legal counsel at all times before talking to the law. Innocent or not.
If he would’ve asked for legal counsel right away, he MIGHT have gotten away with it.

1 like@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse no, you are completely wrong on the claim that the 'you are free to leave at any time' is simply a scare tactic. disregarding the fact that this is canada, and those rights read to the colonel are legally binding - meaning using them as otherwise would be a severe breach of a citizen's security - the colonel has no reasonable level of evidence levelled against him as others have already mentioned in this thread.
0 likeshe accepted this interview voluntarily, and as such, the act of stopping and leaving the interview would be within the colonel's authority as a 'non-suspicious' citizen as well. that is not to say that the colonel wasn't actually suspicious (as we know); having the exact same tire tracks and shoeprints were definitely so, it was a valid hunch that prosecutors could've gone on. but nowhere near incriminating in either an interrogation or a courtroom. they would be aggravating factors to a foundational argument.

@Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse those are still both circumstantial and a lawyer could show that beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't him. That along with him being a colonel with ts clearance would have helped his defense immensely. A confession or DNA is all that would have made the case

4 likesWitnesses talking about the sighting a silver SUV and the tyre tracks were what put them on to Williams in the first place. He had already lied previously about something else at a checkpoint, so was at this point under police surveillance. While he was in this interview, a warrant had ALREADY BEEN ISSUED for his house. They would have found enough stuff there for the 80+breakins and sexual assaults, which alone would have had put him in prison for life. Not quite as sure about the murders and the locations of the bodies, but he itemised and fetishised mementos such as underwear, so he likely had something left at home that would have led them on to solving at least several of the unsolved crimes (although most of his sentence is being served concurrently, if you total up everything but the life sentenes, you've still got 100+ years of time to serve). He most likely would have spent at least most of the rest of his life in gaol just on the break and entry.
If he stfu, what they would have gotten from the warrant would have already have been enough to at least put him in gaol for the rest of his life (82 counts of break and and end his military career and marriage, which in turn probably would have been enough leverage to get him to talk as much as he did in this interview anyway. His moral compass obviously wasn't completely fucked, he still gave them the victim's location and talked pretty freely once the gig was up, without asking for anything in return.
At the very very least, he certainly was not walking out of here. Once he walked in, there was no scenario in which he was leaving that interrogation room a free man, they were just sizing him up for confession to make things easier and to cover all bases (including the recovery of the murder victim).
@imjustsomeguy72 Jesus mate, don't go talking logical and sensible on here!
2 likesI know this is late, you're probably tired of replying to this thread, but I'd like to point out that there was no way he was walking.
3 likesThis interview had finessed him into a confession. But the search of both of his homes being conducted during the interview was real.
He was also the prime suspect of another murder which was briefly touched on in this video, so I believe that they had a ton already to execute the warrant.

I wonder the police will get search warrant if he didn't corporate from the beginning?
0 likesActually the "evidence " of tire prints and shoe prints were not that specific. Common tires and shoes. And size. And without denials or admissions.

The reason cops work so hard to get a confession is to save time and money(a modern trial costs tens of millions of dollars and takes years), not because they dont have enough proof.
Ní Síocháin Gan Saoirse It’s obvious that it’s YOU who have absolutely no idea about how the justice system works, let alone evidence gathering. It’s innocent until proven guilty. All because some detectives who have a tire print, which btw was EXTREMELY COMMON not rare, and footprints that match his doesn’t mean the judge is going to issue a warrant. The judge wouldn’t even entertain the notion of the tire being his it would only be the footprint, which from what I gather they didn’t have at this point. The reason why this interview is so amazing is because it was the only thing that slapped the cuffs around his wrist. Everything else could be written off by doubt or be considered circumstantial. He was just an arrogant freak who fell for the games of the detective who was in a whole other league than him. If he was a smart and cunning murderer the second they called him in he would of lawyered up and got rid of all the evidence he had at his house. By the time they would of gotten a search warrant or arrest warrant, if they even could, everything physical would of been destroyed and they would of been left with a tire print and foot print. He wouldn’t of gotten convicted on that, and if you believe he would you’re a moron who should stop commenting on YouTube because even by YouTube’s standards your an idiot.
0 likesBut not for long
0 likesIf you dont cooperat you become the prime traget. And he allready was.
They would have searched his House
They would have found all the underwear and photos and maybe even Blood or Hair from the Killings.
Also this kind of Criminal was only starting out. His urges were becomeing more and more and he was working him self up. He was already murdering Wemon. He would not have stoped. Its only a matter of time till they would have got him.
RetributionAngel Well if he immediately lawyered up and got rid of the evidence at his home it would of been a hard case to crack. We are talking about ifs and should haves here though. If the cops called him to come in and he immediately called a lawyer before going in and got rid of all the physical evidence at his house then the only thing they would of had were tire tracks and footprints. Neither one of those are enough to get an arrest warrant but the footprints might have been enough for a search warrant. However, if he got rid of the physical evidence at home they wouldn’t of found underwear or the boots. He was an arrogant person though which is why he got caught. He thought he was untouchable. Which is why all that remained at his house. If you watch crime documentaries the people who get away are those that leave no evidence, and the evidence they do leave behind can’t be traced back to them because they burned everything they used to begin with. Many people have done crimes just like his and haven’t gotten caught because of lack of evidence. The cops more than likely know who the perpetrators are but can’t do anything about it. Detectives and behavior science units are not dumb and usually know immediately. They have to prove it though.

21 likesHey, I'm a little late to the party but I just wanted to chime in with that I lived in Trenton during the time of this happening. I was in Highschool, and I had worked at KFC where Mr.Williams would often come in to get food after his shift still in uniform. I found out later that the murder (of Jessica) had taken place previous to me seeing him, and it always stuck with me that people are out there that can commit murder and still go out for fast food as if nothing had happened. Also for the record, he was one of the only people to actively praise the coleslaw at KFC and that is why I knew deep down something was wrong with him.

4 likesIdk man, I'm Canadian so our KFC coleslaw is just basically a light-green slop that tastes vaguely of cabbage. Also for everyone saying I'm taking the murders lightly, you have to understand that at the time of this happening I was only 15-16 and I had no relation to the family whatsoever. It absolutely is a tragedy and I guess I didn't make myself clear on the fact that I find this behavior abhorrent, and how terrifying it is to know that he was walking amongst people I knew as well as myself on a day to day basis. I just wanted to lighten the mood after a pretty dim and bleak video and so I made a joke. Thanks for the feedback regardless, and enjoy your day.

Their brains are not wired like a normal human, they lack the very primal thing that makes us human, caring and compassion. This man is a monster. Always remember be careful of men (mostly) that are super nice, almost nice at nasium, that glib superficial niceness can be a precursor to other deeper issues., not always but be cognizant of this. My mom always told me to be careful of the quiet men, knowing what I know now I would be more careful of the really nice ones. It's really scary too because often they are very articulate in speech and academically advanced.....look at Ted Bundy!!

1 likeWhen I was in middle school, we had this security guard who always gave me the creeps. Just something about him was... Off. Otherwise, he was a pretty normal guy. I attended a church in my town and there was always this woman who sat by herself in the back left pew.
Fast forward about 5 years and that security guard is suddenly on the news. Turns out, 15 years prior, he had kidnapped a girl from the school and kept her in his house. He had just started working at the school and convinced her that her parents didn't love her and that he'd take care of her. He fed her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and gave her just a bucket to relieve herself in.
The woman I mentioned that sat alone in my church happened to be the woman he kidnapped. He, after many years, ended up allowing her to leave the house and go into town. She made friends with a local convenience store owner and noticed, in his store, that there was a missing persons poster with her picture on it. Once she felt comfortable with the convenience store owner, she told him that that was her. He sheltered her as he informed the police.
I didn't know how to feel. I suppose I feel like it made me more aware of how the world around me is so very different from how I pictured and hoped it would be. Maybe a bit of my faith in humanity died that day. I don't know.

0 likes@Kathleen MacDonald Have you not seen the American Justice system?

Do not speak out of your ass, to compare the Canadian Police to the very undertrained American police is insane.
0 likes@Kathleen MacDonald I am saying our problem is not as bad as it is in the US, also the RCMP has started cracking down on the kidnapping issues, people being kidnapped is not the RCMP being bad (except for the very few kidnapped by the rcmp which I could not find a single source on btw) the issue would be the RCMP not doing anything about it, which they started doing stuff about. You are speaking out of your ass, the RCMP was horrible 10 years ago but they have changed and are doing a lot better, so not think that they are even nearly as bad as the American Police who are trained to shoot first ask later

0 likesthis channel is by far the best. also is it just me or would Woody Harrelson play a great Russell Williams if there were ever a movie or show on this
5 likesI find this video to be the one I keep coming back to over all the other JCS videos, something about the way Russel describes the acts that he performs is so different form any other confession. He seems so shameful, I almost empathize with him, which is incredibly scary. He doesn't have the lack of empathy disposition of any other suspect in these videos. Chris Watts and Jennifer Pan try to feign it, but it's so clearly not genuine, many others like Dalia Dippolito, Jodi Arias, Stephanie Lazarus simply don't even pretend to be sorry. Williams feels like he genuinely hates the person he's become behind that stoic persona. He's very clearly a monster and I don't have remorse for him, but I find him to be an immensely fascinating person to watch speak.
7 likesAs far as interrogations go this legit seems like the best one ever
11 likesGenuinely interested to know, how many of these interviews if the suspect got a lawyer immediately and refused to say anything at all without one present would have ended differently?

If anyone can answer this I would love that.

3 likesGonna let you dudes in on something. As a barber with over 12 years experience, that hairline and patch is very common as we men get older. The reason why this gentleman’s “patch” looks more pronounced is because it’s likely he’s got a slight indentation where the separation occurs. My grandfather used to tell me “never get old” and I think he meant it.

Then you wear the murder boots to the station knowing what you've done and why they may be calling you in. Also, if your hair line is giving you the finger in such a disrespectful way it is time to shave it all. Walking around with that patch of hair is ridiculous.

I would have supported you up to there. I don't understand how you can try to take the moral high ground over people but then suddenly say they have lesser character than a murderer. Not only that but you were thoroughly patronizing to them. Your character is not any better than theirs just because you refused to make fun of a serial killer's hair. You weaponized any moral high ground you may have had and used it to look down on them and be disrespectful. I hope this comment doesn't reflect how you behave normally in daily life.
@Grace Reynolds so what ypure saying is, because I dont agree with adults picking on someone because of the way they look even though male pattern baldness is a natural process that happens to most men and I told them they should pick on his character
2 likesas ypu mentioned a serial killerI am obviously in the wrong for that? I have male pattern baldness , I'm bot insecure about it, it's a natural thing, as for patronising I I literally have absolutely no idea how you came to that conclusion, in fact I find it a bit wierd that you came to that.@James Steven I directly quoted the part of you original comment that I took problem with. Like I said I agreed with you for the most part until you said that anybody making fun of his hair has lesser character than a literal serial killer. The patronization came in when you called anybody exhibiting the behavior you condemned children. Do you think you're justified in comparing people to a serial killer just because their comments triggered your insecurity? I'm sorry that this is something that has negative impact on your life. It sounds like this is something that makes you emotional so I realize how you could have misinterpreted my message. I'm not attacking your view as a whole rather a very specific part of it you probably wrote. If you reread my comment you might be able to see what I intended for you to see.

11 likesEdit: No one cares that matters, at least.
@James Steven I would venture to say that most sighted individuals observe features other people possess (be they positive or negative features) on a regular basis and generally do not use their beauty or lack thereof as a basis from which to make solid JUDGMENTS about the character of the individual. Unfortunately, Colonel Russell here has a particularly wicked and immoral character and has committed depraved acts against others that seem to have made pretty much everything about him fair game to criticism - thus the humor (that you indicate feeling is childish/juvenile) emerges unbridled - because he is terrible person - not just visually "ugly".

8 likesYou're projecting, big-time.
The hottest guy I ever dated (no offense to my longtime love sleeping next to me snoring right now with his full head of thick hair) was balding. This was in our mid-20's so he had been balding for years. He shaved his head regularly so it looked tamed and the only comment he made about his hair was that it would have been nice to have had the option. He was charismatic, confident and had women falling for him constantly. I still think about him now and then because he was really, really sexy. He's married with children and living a good life. His baldness didn't define him and he has other things going for him besides lack of hair.
My dad is bald. He was a long-haired hippie and hated that he was going bald but he dealt with it. He had a great career. He's got a dark, hilarious personality. He's still in love with his wife of 30 years as his lack of hair had no effect on his overall happiness and his successes in life. Suck it up, buttercup. Most of us wish we could change a physical feature but we don't go around accusing people of being worse than litteral serial killer rapists for a tease on YouTube of all places.
Get a grip. I hope you find the peace you seek for your sake and the people who have to deal with you.
You could have come correct in the thread when called out, but you didn't. So I am not going to coddle, but hopefully you remember it's all in your head and you can choose to be a happy bloke if you really want to work on it.

0 likes@James Steven
0 likes1) Yes, but fully-grown adults don't ALWAYS behave in a mature manner either and often DO act silly like out-of-control children.
2) I did not want you to or believe you should change what you said. I was simply contributing to the discourse and sharing my own perspective which is different from your own. Besides...even if you had changed what you said, you would STILL be an adult because mature adults also do that sometimes too.
3) One's surface features can be altered cosmetically – which is more of a financial decision than it is a matter of quality character. However, a genuinely beautiful countenance that's truly worthwhile to behold is invaluable and requires more resolution because it must be nurtured and cultivated from within.
4) Take care 🌟

2 likesI've only just found this channel. I don't how to describe it. Great? Sure. You feel some degree of anger at the psychological manipulation the interrogators use, but also a degree of respect at how well they do their job. I think the most horrific thing is how they know someone in guilty from the start, but the emotional changes the perp goes through are insane. They start off quite happy, get worn down, and then candidly talk about horrific crimes. It's almost like watching a movie, but the realisation that it is real is haunting.

And you think that I think that because there have been movies made about the subject(is), then I assume that it's only natural for it to be made (ought).

118 likes@Joii J. No, it's after the "crossroads" moment during the interrogation. Notice his behavior prior to the examination of his boots. He is arrogant and relaxed; yet, any possible anxiety seemed to tell on him by the way he chewed his gum. After the examination his breathing pattern is different, more strained; he begins to sigh periodically; his arms are crossed; his posture is more rigid and stressed; I think he must have swallowed the aforementioned gum...sighhhhhhh

0 likesMichael Saunier HAHA so true
1 likeThe thing is, he wasn’t trapped UNTIL he asked for a map. At any time he could leave and up until that point the only thing incriminating were his lack of response to accusations and his attitude that was analysed in this video, at best those things might warrant a search through his property which may have led to the same discovery. But to me the instant acceptance of guilt for having the same tires and shoes as a suspect, is something that only a guilty person could convey. Any innocent or even just rational human would argue that those could be anyone’s shoes or tires, he didn’t.

He brought this woman to his home, talked her down out of a seizure... Yet still killed her some hours after. Just. Haunting.

I agree. It forced him to break his killer persona and become the protective military officer he was trained to be. She became more than an object. She became a woman in distress & the snap to reality possibly made him realize how evil & screwed up a man he is. Obviously, he had to kill her, knows he'll never lose the taste of it but he seemed almost relieved to be caught so he couldn't do it again.

2 likesice la honk It really is. It's all thanks to playing on every bit of psychological manipulation the interrogator can. Interrogations seem like just listening on the surface, but in reality it's some legit 4D chess going on. Everything the detective does is done for a reason, and to the end of achieving that confession. Everything. From body positioning to when and how he offers Russell coffee. What Russell does with his coffee cup tells the detective whether he's defensive or not. What Russell does with his feet tells the detective whether Russell is comfortable or in a rush to get out of there. How their bodies are positioned are decided based on whether they want to seem like allies (like in this video, they're sitting sort of next to each other, but the detective is squarely facing Russell, while Russell is squarely facing the door, as if he's ready to jump up and run,) or whether the table is physically between them and they're facing each other like adversaries.
11 likesThe interrogation room is this detectives comfort zone. It's truly his domain. It's his like his chess board and he's ten steps ahead of Russell right off the bat, even though he doesn't have that proof yet. It's intimidating but impressive to watch. Every single aspect of this interaction is strictly controlled and specifically planned with an end in mind, and it's all based on decades upon decades of research into human psychology, kinesthesiology, physiology, and more.
Like I said, it's legitimate 4D chess when you have a good interrogator going at a suspect.

4 likesthe detective did a good job, but this interrogation is unique due to the suspect. he's a high ranking person in his career and views himself as important and above the law. if he is suspected of wrongdoing, he will try to make himself look good at every opportunity and expects people will believe him. he didn't want a lawyer because it would most likely either embarrass him or make him look weak. going in there, it wouldn't even occur to him that anyone would suspect him. the detective went in hard as soon as the boots had been inspected and there was no way for him to get out of this at that point, when the warrants had already been executed and he would eventually be forced to provide DNA, whether or not it mattered to the investigation, the important part is he perceives it as so.

It happens every day. Whether it’s a detective investigating a homicide, or a patrol officer investigating a larceny or a burglary, these police officers are the ones stepping up to face hardened criminals in order to protect the innocent.

some time but in the video, Williams says " The Friday, I was". Parts
are redacted all over the place. Plus after the confession, the
interviews lasted for a week. I read this somewhere on line and thought I
would love to see the rest of the interrogations for this case. But the
confessions were redacted in most of what happened, ie how he tortured
his victims.
Man I'm a true crime junkie and latter half of this interrogation, aka the confession, made my stomach turn. Watching a normal looking guy get into the gritty details of his crimes was disturbing. Great work from the detective to get a completely free man to confess.

I’ll tell you what, I was a lieutenant colonel at the time, so we were just one level apart, and we talked and laughed at the officer’s mess and you can’t tell the difference between a true psychopath and anyone else.

FYI: If you want to find a psychopath easier for whatever reason, looks at some CEO's. Much higher chance of finding that trait there.
9 likes@Harry Sachs You sure will - Worst case you just need to speak to people that they burned/deceived.
5 likes@FunkoFever Well, in the RCAF they still have a thing called "morale" which we in the USAF lost long ago due in part to PC culture. In other words, in the US, the days of meeting up at the O-Club for drinks and such are long gone. The Canadians, at least in those days, still socialized on Thursdays and everyone was expected to show up. It was great, and once myself, our Ops O and Col (then) Williams were all together at the bar around 1700. Russ said something like "Sorry but I have to leave early" and we didn't think anything of it. Months later we figured that was the night he killed Jessica. It might not be, but it's a good story at least.
32 likesThe most interesting thing was the way they do performance reports. In the states we call them OPRs but they have PERs, (not sure what it stands for anymore) but they have a narrative overall assessment and multiple categories that have a 1-5 score (poor to outstanding). Things like time management, written communication, verbal communication, leadership, etc. Anyway, once Russ was arrested General Blondin (RCAF Chief of Air Staff at the time) flew in to address the base. They have a much smaller force than we do obviously, so they really know each other better and many officers were really freaked out by this. Russ' executive officer was freaked out about how much time they spent alone at night, working on reports and such. All that time, not a clue.
Anyway when the General came he got all the Lt Cols together (there were only like 9 of us on the whole base).for a meeting on what's next. He field promoted one of the guys (Dave Cochrane) to full colonel on the spot and named him wing commander. No parade, no promotion ceremony, just wham, you're the boss and now you have to grab the exec and go to prison to do your turnover briefing with Col Williams. And remember, until he's court martialed he's still a colonel. You need to get spun up on the status of various missions, get the secret codes for things like the vault, etc. (Later on Dave said the turnover went well, very professional, other than being in prison). Meanwhile, the general reminded Dave, he's due for a PER, and this guy was the commander for operations ATHENA, the Haiti air evacuation , numerous other achievements and such so his performance report has to be written as such. For example, time management was outstanding. The only areas hes poor in are "values and ethics" and "conduct becoming of an officer" but you can't let that jade the rest of his performance legally or he'll have grounds to fight the court martial.
Wild stuff.
@bn880 After the fact it "all adds up" but no, you can't tell them from anyone else in person. Yeah, he had some quirks that were signs afterwards, but plenty of other people have those quirks too. I got a weird vibe around the guy myself, but I get that same feeling around a good friend of mine that I've known for years as well. There's just no way to tell.
11 likes@bn880 Of course, there's also a sort of "spectrum" of psychopathy. I know a lot of us in the profession of arms are a little more on the psycho side than neutral, depending on what test you use. The train killing 5 vs 1 person unless you throw the switch test, we all have no issue killing that 1 person to save 5, even if it's a friend, but that's what we need to think like in combat. It's a numbers game after all, and if I can kill 5 enemies by sacrificing 1 of mine, and I can win that way, that's what I have to do. You can't play chess without losing pieces. By definition that's sort of psychopathic but not the same as having zero empathy.
15 likesThat's what I've been told anyway. I'm just a pilot, not a psychologist.
@John Tringali Nope, that's where you're wrong. Don't underestimate trained professionals (psychologists) is all I am telling you. You can't tell, most people couldn't tell, but SOME people would be able to tell. Trust me. His position alone would make most psychologists already suspect he was a primary psychopath, and then through a process of observation they would decide for sure. And to clarify, a diagnosis of a psychopath primary or secondary is not a prediction of murder.
5 likes@FunkoFever The other thing I remember is seeing him giving an award to the MP that looked into the case involving Cpl Comeau. I didn't know her as she was in another squadron (she was 437th and I was 429th) but the base paper had Col Williams shaking the hand of the MP who was trying to convict her boyfriend, a mechanic from the base, because when a woman is killed it's usually her husband or boyfriend. I wonder what happened to that guy. They never had any evidence on him but he ate a lot of crap I'm sure. Until, that is...

6 likesJason James It does kinda come with the territory. You can’t knowingly sign off on mission orders to achieve some objective when you know you’re going to lose x% of your guys without being able to suppress or disassociate that. I mean, even the indifference we feel watching IR or EO feeds of engagements watching enemy troops being blown apart. It’s required, but in reality those are all people with kids and families... but that’s war. The difference between being a warrior and a killer is that you don’t enjoy it. Ya know what I mean?
4 likes@wujidao Exactly! I too was surprised at just how quickly he caved. It was as if he was relieved to be caught. His only real concern seemed to be for his wife. Probably not the typical profile of a primary psychopath.
1 like@John Tringali No offense to you or your crew, but if you can be "normalized" to see killing as a job, that's a form of "psychopathy" in itself. To lose human compassion for the "enemy" that you're targetting.... that's basically at core a form of psychopathy. It's learned*, *trained psychopathy rather than naturally borne. Meaning, that a psychopath that doesn't distinguish between killing for amusement from killing for national defense can hide easier in those ranks. Or to put it another way, it's harder to tell the serial murder type psychopath from the trained mercenary "controlled" psychopath.

2 likesThis investigator is masterful. It’s in the questioning: as an example he asks “Why do you think *these things happened*?” instead of challenging the suspect with “Why did *you do these things*?” He never breaks the trust he’s gained earlier in the interrogation. He also never reveals his own feelings one way or the other, minimizing the suspect’s fight or flight response - there’s no threat here, this is all very normal, just two guys having a conversation. He makes himself sound almost bored with the whole thing, while the murderer confesses everything. Well done on his part keeping it all together.

0 likesI realize that all of the cases on this channel are of guilty people, but it's pretty damn scary that the detective can be pretty sure of guilt simply by how you talk in this tiny, quiet room that is a brand new experience for you. And, is most likely meant to rule you out as a suspect. Everyone is going to react differently to that. Yeah, it doesn't make him guilty right away, but it probably means he's gonna be there for hours until he says something incriminating. Even if it's not fully true and happens from exhaustion.
0 likesIt was the search warrants. He had a MASSIVE collection of mementos, pictures, and movies. He knew at least one of the victims had been all over his house in Tweed and a decent forensic exam would turn that up. His goose was cooked right there and he knew it: search warrants meant The End. His wife would soon know all about him. Hiding this from his wife was an important part of his life. Once that was not possible, he makes no further effort to defend himself.
0 likesInteresting are also the interrogators reactions to some of his comments. The moment Russ first says "I raped her..." the interrogator places his hand near his own mouth and stiffens as he hears the story... It really makes me wonder and at the same time, kinda makes me feel bad for the interrogator himself as his humanity shows. I don't think anyone would be comfortable hearing these details firsthand.

Williams was a conscientious man without a conscience. That’s part of what makes him fascinating from a purely criminological standpoint.

1 like@Deputy Dawg That's most likely the answer. Maybe it's a little that it's a natural (or possibly even learned) instinct to help a person in a medical crisis, but that probably only played a small role if any. He wanted the control. In his mind he was entitled it. Can't have a seizure get in the way of that.
2 likes@Deputy Dawg ding ding ding, you my good person are correct
1 likeThis really weirded me out too. Why did he "talk her through" the seizure, let her rest afterwards, etc., as though he cared about her, only to murder her not long after? I don't understand this man at all. I also feel EXTREMELY badly that this woman who had to endure a seizure in the company of her torturer.
6 likes@Ellen Weiss I forgot about this video till just now. Even a year later this still doesn't make sense to me. He comforted her only to kill her once he gained some small bit of trust /compassion.
2 likes@Robotoboy Your argument is weakened by you using "sociopath" and "psychopath" interchangeably. They are not the same thing.
3 likes@Ellen Weiss I think that seizure was his downfall, and why he was so eager in the interrogation. SOMETHING bout Jessica made him feel guilty. This wasn't simply another 'assault/murder' combo; he brought Jessica to his home, rested next to her, talked her out of the seizure, comforting her through it. The murder later was survival instinct as the others; the dead can't snitch.
4 likes@(edited) i think their argument is weakened by talking about how ppl are “evil” - evil isn’t really a thing. people don’t do bad things just for the sake of it. he raped and murdered those women because he was a sexual sadist, he was arrogant enough to think he could get away with fulfilling his fantasy & knew leaving witnesses could implicate him.
3 likes@Laura Also very true. Viewing people through a black and white lens is misguided at best. Everything is shades of grey.
3 likes@amagicallaura had the best take IMO Ill get back to that First its kinda interesting that the vast majority of you assume someone who worked themselves up from stealing undergarments to actually raping and then murdering would be completely neglectful of the victims need prior to the execution. I feel like this man is a sexual sadist, but that is a mostly a sexual deviant point of arousal - I think WIlliams certainly has purposively conditioned himself to be less empathetic over time at the same time as his sexual urges increased and this lessened morality (it imitates a sociopath's lack of empathy) helps to allow him to be okay with committing these violent acts.
0 likesI actually completely disagree with this take that deputy dawg has... "He wanted to kill her, he wanted that control" .. I dont think he's a true sadist outside of the sexual side of him, certainly there is the control aspect of the rape and binding them, but I honestly didn't get the impression that he wanted to kill them or even enjoyed doing so - he did it because (excuse my bluntness) it tied up loose ends.
Contrast this to someone like Ted Bundy who actively tortured his victims during the sexual act doing excessively vile things and killing them in exceedingly brutal ways.
When Williams was in the act, I feel like he wanted complete control for his sexual gains but that if he could've had it entirely his way he would've wanted them to like it. I don't think that he hated them like you'd see from a lot of serial killers that stems a lot of times from their relationships with their moms. You certainly do have a level of misogynistic behavior- I don't know if you've seen The Frozen Ground the killer Robert Hansen played by John Cusack kills strippers/call girls and justifies it in his conservative/religious beliefs 'you cant rape a whore' the act of how he captures them uses them for sex is similar but he torments them because he genuinely dislikes them even using them as a game for himself in his execution method which is straight from "The Most Dangerous Game" where he basically sets them free and hunts them. Contrastingly Williams sexually deviant fantasy seems more like the I will use any woman I want for my pleasure any way I want cause sex is not a bad feeling they should just like it -- It actually is almost a pinpoint replication of the behavior of the rapist Chris McCarthy (based off Marc O'Leary) in the TV - Miniseries 'Unbelievable' about how these girls rapes are handled by police the contrasting nature of how male cops handled it vs. two female cops played by Toni Collette and Merritt Wever (who were great in it) who end up actually solving the cases.

0 likesWithout doing any research on this subject, it leads me to believe that he is at least a lesser grade of psychopath...one with a sort of tribal mentality. His tribe is his family -- he'll protect it at all costs, but the outside world is fair game for whatever his whims may be.
Maybe an expert can chime in, but it makes sense, evolutionarily speaking. His brand of psychopathy might have been an asset to some ancient village, perhaps he'd even be treated like a hero, with his crimes ignored because they happen outside the village. But now that today's "villages" are so large and impersonal that peoples "tribes" are actually narrower, his kind has become a liability to society.

0 likesUnfortunately, I'm not even 100% sure it was him. I was taken in for an investigation, and I for just a few moments wondered if I actually stole the computer from a walmart backroom because they said they had dna, video, and fingerprints. And then after I assured myself I didn't somehow commit a theft without remembering, I thought I was going to jail no matter what I said, and was thinking of getting a plea deal. I got lawyer, and it truned out they were lying the whole time, which basically destroyed my trust in the police forever.

0 likesBlacklight Redlight the detectives aren’t trying to find out what really happened, they’re trying to incriminate and tie anyone they can into the crime, sad as it is it’s true, that’s why you should ALWAYS get a lawyer if you’re faced with this situation and never answer anything except for “no comment” to any police officer.

4 likes@Shusty Rackleford I don't know, I think murdering someone because you enjoy raping and murdering is pretty emotional. as for instance LIKING/WANTING something so badly that your willing to kill someone and possibly go to jail for the rest of your life, is pretty emotional and irrational if you ask me.
7 likesThis guy is smart. He knew what he was doing, he came to see what they knew with the intention of confessing if they had enough info.
1 likeShusty Rackleford there’s what interrogators say happens and then there’s what really happens. You think this guy didn’t know not to say anything? They offered him a lawyer, he could walk out any time he’s a strong military dude he would have walked right past that little dude if he wanted to. He definitely knew what he was doing walking in there he wanted to be caught. He let the interrogator think he was doing his job while he prepared himself mentally to spill the beans. My 2 cents anyways
3 likesShusty Rackleford My point is everyone likes to say this guy is a moron because he walked into the wolf’s den wearing the same boots and let the interviewer break him down and confessed. My theory is that none of that is true. He was not intimidated by the interviewer. He is not stupid. He would have avoided this situation if he didn’t want caught. He wore those boots and came there with the specific intention of getting caught. It’s not possible to rule this theory out because no one knows his exact intentions.
1 like@Shusty Rackleford The intelligent ones get away with it, did you see how fast he broke? If he had no emotion he wouldn't have panicked, would have lawyered up real quick. He was arrogant, which means he wasn't very smart

0 likes@Shusty Rackleford wow, you assume that much about me by my reply without knowing anything else about me? Doesn't speak well to your intelligence. First off pilots in the CF are trained in what's called conduct after capture, basically resisting interrogation secondly, arrogance comes from the false assumption that you are better than others which an intelligent person should know is nonsensical. In any case if he's so smart why did he get caught? Could he have not forseen with his "hyperintelligence" the danger he was in?
0 likes@Shusty Rackleford Ok let me break this down for ya, the very definition of arrogant is having an exaggerated sense of ones own abilities, exaggerated means not realistic (better or worse than reality). Intelligence is hard to define and even harder to measure but generally the more intelligent you are the more in touch with reality you should be. There are many people who, like you idealize murders for whatever reason and you're free to choose your role models but do notice how the detective did not need to employ overly elaborate methods to get a full confession in under an hour. The result of the interrogation speaks for itself, the most intelligent man in that room is the detective.

There certainly is not a lot of evidence that psychopaths are somehow more intelligent, however that concept is defined. I appreciate the fact that you admitted oversimplification (often necessary) ,but I urge you to think again if you think these crimes are committed by "hyperintelligent" people.

5 likes@rodowy fabian lol yeah this guy pretty legendary
1 like@Chelsea Dunham that it would work is counterintuitive to me. Listening to the interrogator speak, you could pick out his act from a mile away. It got irritating to me at some points. He's talking to someone strongly suspected of egregious crimes like he's his lifelong friend. Even after the admission he keeps it up. You would think a colonel would be well versed in psychological tactics and see right through it all, but it worked. "Call me Russ", a significant gesture of trust and intimacy, right before admitting to rape and murder.
2 likesAs a military man, Williams was used to dealing with people in an impersonal manner. I doubt he had many genuine connections with anyone in his life. Being a psychopath makes that difficult, but a high ranking military job even more so. And along comes this investigator, who doesn't call him by his rank, who treats him like an equal, digging into his most repressed secrets. Williams was desperately in need of intimacy, of something genuine beyond the life he knew. Ironically, he found that in the least genuine place imaginable. Perhaps that's also why he committed all of these horrible as well as strange acts, stalking, break-ins, taking photos in women's stolen bras... he needed something to release himself from the responsibility on his shoulders and the hard image he needed to keep up. It's similar to how kids who are held on a tight leash by their parents often grow up to act out by excessive partying or drug abuse.
He needed a friend to be honest with, and the investigators no doubt studied everything about him beforehand and constructed the interrogation strategy based on that. Pretty brilliant.
VoidSurf I work as a counselor and have to talk to people about very difficult subjects and being non-judgmental is crucial...Russel was waiting for someone to talk to...he had been holding all that in for awhile and when he realized he was caught and that this man wasn’t going to fight him...he took the opportunity to spill his guts

I don't think it's unlikely to assume that he would get a chuckle out of it as a "haha you thought we were leaving and I fucking killed you". I dont think this man sees women as equals or really as people. To be driven to do something like this off impulse is a mentality that he has coped with and accepted without looking for guidance or help.

When the detective said to him "These are your boot marks, so you were at Jessica's house", all he should have said is " No they aren't, many men must have the same type of boots !" (and the same argument with the tyre marks), then the interrogation would have run a different course. But all he did was stare at the evidence for minutes at end, saying absolutely nothing. An innocent man would have immediately refuted the allegations. When he said nothing, I knew he was guilty as hell.

5 likes@Pongo simply owning a gun and carrying one in public is enough to deter someone like this coward from trying anything on you. He will go somewhere where he knows he won't get shot.

One might argue that is the most valuable thing when owning a firearm; deterring crimes in the first place.

Not only is it illegal where I live to bring a gun to work or in most places with me, but at home their are children around. Talking it on an off my person when im out doing shit is so convoluted, ill just end up forgeting it. For me a gun should stay in a safty case,, not just next to me in a bathroom.

0 likes@Pongo I'm in the same boat as she is. I have a firearm either on me or within arms reach all the time except when I'm at work. But my state has a law that allows us to bring our guns to work as long as we keep them in our cars. It is literally called the "Indiana bring your gun to work law" and no employer can tell and Indiana resident that they can't have a gun in their vehicle. It's really not that convoluted for me. My gun is either:
3 likes1)On my hip.
2)In my locked vehicle while I'm at work.
3)Within arms reach. (In the bathroom, on the night stand, etc)
I've been the victim of a home invasion and my gun was the only thing that kept the intruder at bay. It would have done me no good in a safety case. With kids around I would teach them about proper gun safety to mitigate the chances of an accident.
@Pongo yeah, I was replying to your comment. You don't need to carry it 24/7. If a predator sees you with it at the store, it when you are out. He likely won't be willing to risk hiding in your basement for you. These guys are cowards. That is why I said guns are also great crimes deterrents. A criminal is is likely to pick a fight with a person who is armed, doesn't even necessarily need to be on your hip at all times.

2 likes@emma you might want to check the facts on the number of wrongfully accused, look up actually numbers on wrongfully convicted, and then realize that you can be at the wrong place at the wrong time , and end up spending the rest of your life in prison.
5 likesIt's be interesting, but unfortunately (or fortunately for the innocent), I'm not sure if the police would be allowed to release an interview of an innocent person.
1 likeEmilthehun course you can but there has to be evidence, even if a detective hs made up his mind about you being guilty if there’s no actual evidence he can’t possibly arrest you - because innocent until proven guilty (by evidence) wether or not that evidence was created by you being at the wrong place at the wrong time or by you committing a crime doesn’t really matter, i give you that. but saying youre guilty until proven innocent is just plain bs
1 likeAppiusOS aw yeah good point :( it’d be so interesting to see that tho
1 like@emma no. I said once you are accused, you are guilty until you proven innocent. And how do you think innocent people get locked up in the first place? There no factual evidence needed , just fitting a profile, driving the same type of car , having a similar shirt will do the trick. Detectives will do everything they can to make a deal with you to confess to the crime. They will tell you that you are looking at life in prison, but if you confess now , they offer a plea deal for a lesser charge. And boom you confess to something you've never done. And maybe in terms of percentage it's only 0.01% , but how do you know that you wont be part of this 0.01%? You come off as someone intelligent, so why not read a few case studies to understand how and why this happens.
2 likesSo I’ve actually met some people who worked this case and took interviewing courses from RCMP polygraph specialists, and graduated the program near the top.
1 likeGenerally, when someone is innocent, it won’t be a single thing or few things they say, it’ll be that their story, composer and alibi maintains veracity, or its something you can develop into a story with a beginning, middle and end. The guilty, unless they’re confessing, will lie and cover up, creating faults in their story. A criminal interrogation is more conceptual than literal in that it’s a “bigger picture” thing.
Russel did not once ask "why are you telling me this? Why are you asking me?" These are questions that EVERY innocent person immediately asks once they are questioned...

@Emilthehun Jim has had multiple cases where the person was innocent. Recently the girl who's husband committed suicide and she was accused. The police even tempered with evidence to have her convicted but they got caught. The black guy, who was caught accused of robbing the jewelry store but they had no evidence, and the guy who kept asking for a coke and just wouldn't talk, so he was let go.
3 likes@Emilthehun Apologies for the 'absolutely no sense' question. These events took place in Canada. In the US, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty (not just accused of something). In some cases it may be only a technical distinction, but it is important nonetheless. Your comment got me thinking that this may not be true in Canada. Is it, or is this another question that makes absolutely no sense? A quick search answered my question. In Canada, there is also the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
2 likes@Greg Scott the innocent until proven guilty is a myth. Kind of like a feel good slogan . In Canada, around 872 people are wrongfully convicted each year. Although much much lower then the USA, it still shows that anyone can be a victim to such crime. And that is why it is actually the opposite that is true. You are guilty unless you can prove your innocence.
0 likesMost people think this only happens to criminals but that is not true. Just like any traffic violation, where the officer gives you a ticket. Let's say it's a speeding ticket. Are you innocent until proven guilty, or guilty until you prove your innocence ? Well I can tell you , that you are guilty, unless you show proof to the court that you didn't commit the crime. A dashcam video for example. So you see , there is a difference between the two. The officers word is enough with no evidence to back it up to turn anyone into a victim. Conviction without evidence is hard , and that is why ple bargain is used where you testify against your self in exchange for a lesser sentence. Obviously it's the same in Canada, just not as wide spread yet.
@Channel Ninbikun and so you can see that the cops will do just about anything to lock you up. They are not your friends, and once you pop up on their radar, do not ever talk to them without a lawyer present.
0 likes@Emilthehun I agree with what you are saying; there are MANY problems with the system, including the fact that routinely prosecutors can mess with evidence without consequences. Many innocent people end up convicted, and many other innocent people are put in situations where they have to admit to a crime or face a far more devastating penalty if they don't. It's all true. How do we fix it?
1 like@Greg Scottit can only be fixed by taking away the incentive to find people guilty. But as a cop , your performance is measured by the number of arrests and tickets you do monthly. So it is in your interest to find people guilty even if they were innocent.
1 likeThe prosecutor and judge dont care if you are guilty or not , they just have an interest in getting your money as well.
The privatized jails have an interest in filling up their cells , for profit, so they give local police departments kickbacks to supply them with never ending streams of prisoners.
If you take away the incentive to look at citizens as cash cows, you might be able to make a change. But obviously this is unrealistic, so you just have to understand that it is you who is solely responsible to protect your self from injustice.
So if you people choose to live believing that you are innocent until proven guilty, that's okay. But if you do get accused and convicted for something you didn't do , you shouldn't complain. Because most likely your false beliefs of a fair system is what got you convicted in the first place.
@Joe Blow and that is the truth. Unfortunately people still believe that the "law is on our side" when in reality it's not. A cops job is to find you guilty, and your job is to defend yourself.
0 likesAlways always ask for a lawyer. They will probably tell you that you'll have to wait 3 days to get a free one. Wait it out. Always remember that you are dealing with professionals who do this for a living. It also helps if you are actually innocent lol
There is NO way to tell if someone's truly innocent...or guilty for that matter without definitive proof. You follow the evidence where it leads. Cops also have pretty good intuition some of the times and follow their guts but they're not perfect and mistakes are made. At the end of the day, it's not always possible to tell if someone's innocent or guilty especially in complicated matters where say someone mentally ill confesses and the evidence seems to line up with their confession. Of course, there are all kinds of little clues to help detectives. Body language, physical evidence, DNA (DNA is extremely important and never lies although sometimes lab technicians do). At the end of the day without some definitive proof such as DNA or video evidence you just go with the preponderance of evidence and leave the rest up to a jury. It's not perfect but more often than not it puts the bad people away and keeps the innocent from being wrongly accused. Unfortunately not all the time though.

"Judge Langdon’s criticism of Det.-Sgt. Smyth is biting, even to the point of doubting the honesty of his testimony under oath. He writes that Det.-Sgt. Smyth lied to Mr. Armishaw about the evidence against him; engaged in a “relentless monologue” at a suspect who wished to remain silent; undermined Mr. Armishaw’s lawyer’s advice by suggesting the lawyer was ignorant of the overwhelming evidence against him; claimed to speak for the courts, and offered leniency in exchange for a confession; and placed a false choice before Mr. Armishaw — confess or be damned — in which innocence, though still technically presumed, was not an option."

I know i'm 4 months late, but honestly I wouldn't. Jim has pulled some really shady stuff, including purging his entire channel of its content, in order to get people to join his patreon. He only has a small handful of videos up now, but he used to have more than double that, including a very successful series where he would talk about more than one interrogation in each video.
2 likesI believe what happened is that he claimed that youtube was demonetizing all his content (probably true), so he literally deleted EVERY video from his channel. The only video that was left up at the time was the Chris Watts video. His videos must still be getting demonitized, so what was the point of deleting your entire channel's content that was already created and has been up for ages? That was around the time that he made his patreon and started advertising it hard on every video.
I love the guy's content, he clearly puts a lot of effort into them. I'll still be supporting it. But it made me very very wary of his patreon.

Where the cat (cop) has to outsmart the mouse (criminal) when literally the whole "game" could have ended with either words "i have nothing to say" or "lawyer".

Something I noticed-when the cop asked the suspect if he watched detective shows, he brought up CSI.

Do you think the cop mentioned CSI on purpose to plant the idea in the suspect's mind that, "Yep. All that silly CSI bullshit? It's real, and we got it.

Yeah he reminds me of that one FBI guy from Mindhunter.
4 likesYeah. Holder
3 likesMind hunter is awesome can't reccomend It enough.
2 likes@Joe King The techniques the detective uses are the same ones discussed in Mindhunter, because they both originated from the same source of information on how to interrogate a serial murderer, so that you don't shut him down, and instead get him to open up. It involves empathy - making your subject feel at ease with you by making him feel like you understand why he did what he did, without judgment. That's why the detective here DOESN'T get confrontational and pull out the duct tape and vice grips. All the duct tape and vice grips will accomplish, is to make the killer lose interest in talking to you. Being screamed at is 1) no fun, and 2) it gets real boring, fast, if you've killed a few people. Being beaten and screamed at accomplishes absolutely nothing, and a good interrogator knows this from the get-go.
0 likesYou can read more about how this method of interrogation got started in Detective Robert Keppel's book "Riverman: Ted Bundy and I Hunt for the Green Rover Killer". The book that inspired "Mindhunters", by John Douglas, is also excellent in that regard. Happy reading!

17 likesHe didn’t seem to be the sort to assert his authority. Many military officers are little more than bureaucrats, who, despite the authority their rank affords them, are nevertheless unaccustomed to exercising the sort of command over subordinates that, say, your typical infantry NCO does. Orders are dispatched from their ranks in a very impersonal/detached fashion.

1 likeGSTAL005 I wasn’t referring to the benefits of his rank, but the means by which he exercised his authority — you know, the interpersonal dimensions that are relevant to his psychological profile and the case in question. It’s one thing to become accustomed to people affording you praise, pageantry, and respect. That typically leads to arrogance. It does not, however, manifest or amplify authoritarian traits — which are usually ingrained in people’s personalities before they put on a uniform.

Nonmi Hiseddeo Nice catch! I was suspecting that, too.
20 likesThe "father of criminal profiling," former FBI special agent John Douglass, uses a term in one of his books that has always stuck with me: "everyone has a rock."
He was referring to a case when a man who had bludgeoned a child to death with a rock was refusing to engage with the interrogation, and managed to remain completely emotionally detached. Douglass brought the rock out of evidence and slammed it down on the table in front of the guy...who then instantly just cracked.
Douglass says that "everyone has a rock," in the sense that EVERYONE— even the most hardened, unfeeling monsters— will all almost inevitably have SOMETHING (or someONE) that functions as an emotional "button" that, when leaned on, will crack them wide open.
Russ's "rock" was apparently his wife.

3 likesI’ve got a longtime friend who never wanted or had kids, and it reminded me of how they always say they’re MUCH happier hearing their various friend’s funny and/or crazy stories of parenting, without ever having to worry that they’ll personally experience any of it: “Your kid seriously said that!? That is hysterically funny. But because it happened to you. It’s funny because it happened to you, not me.”
Oh! And also— thanks for saying my comment was funny! Again, as a parent, my jokes usually get an eye roll and deep sigh, at best. 😁
Ray Hage Your comment also reminded me of how I’ve always thought that parenting is kind of comparable to having some particularly unusual kink or fetish: it’s almost indescribably rewarding, fulfilling and pleasurable if you went into it consensually...but it’s almost certainly an absolute horrorshow if you were forced to enter into it involuntarily.
3 likesFor example, if you go into a given situation fully expecting to be raising a teenager, or, say, having someone pee on you while you’re wearing a bunny suit...then all the hardship and humiliation will feel SO worth it. But if not? You're in for a world of 🤮
Heh.
@Manecki Neckbeard i have a lot of friends who are parents and every time i hear one of their stories, i feel better about my life lol. but you describe the "horror show" perfectly. its voluntary in your case, but frankly, i think i would rather do time at a white collar jail
3 likesRay Hage Sir, congratulations on the second comment in a row to make me literally LOL!
2 likesAnd yeah, I certainly do hear you— a family member of mine actually did a stint in one of those so-called "country club" white collar prisons. And, while it most definitely was NOT a relaxing, pampered country club experience, my impression is that he didn't have to deal with anywhere near the levels of consistently high-decibel daily chaos and stress that parenting a teenager entails.
And of course, I've recently discovered that it's all magnified exponentially during covid lockdowns! Who knew!? I wouldn't have thought it could get any crazier, until I suddenly lost those precious 7 hours a day of peace! If nothing else, this experience has made me realize that teaching seems very much akin to parenting: a stressful, if tremendously rewarding and fulfilling career if you choose it*...but a relentless onslaught of maddening, confusing, exhausting, head-meet-brick-wall frustration if you're unwilling and/or unprepared.
* Although, as an obnoxiously optimistic person, I can say that I've suddenly gained new insight into why several of my former teachers were so remarkably rotten at their jobs: to a one, these teachers were the last, aging vestiges of a generation in which unmarried women were essentially involuntarily shunted into careers as either nurses, secretaries...or teachers. It didn't matter if the reason they were unmarried in the first place was due to a hatred of kids and nurturing in general, they simply didn't have a choice (although, obviously, there were rare exceptions) when it came to careers. One teacher in particular of mine so clearly detested children, and was counting the seconds to retirement...but I realize now that as a "spinster," she likely never had any other options. It's been fascinating to witness the difference between my own and my parents' teachers with those of my kids. My parents had innumerable grumpy, mean, bullying teachers, and there were still a few hanging on by the time I came along...but every single one of my kids' teachers has clearly just loved teaching and children/young people in general.
Ray Hage Ugh. Sorry. The endless days of sheltering at home have left me with waaaay too much time on my hands, as evidenced by my multiple logorrheic TLDR comments & replies.
3 likesI guess now would be the time to finally get started in earnest on that novel? Or something? 🤷🏻♂️🙄
@Manecki Neckbeard haha don't worry. frankly, i think you don't have enough children as it appears you have too much time on your hands to write such a long and thoughtful comment. I've never been to any prison so I don't have much in the way of that experience but from what I understand it would be more pleasurable than spending 24 hours with them in this coronavirus lockdown which doesn't really have an end in sight. You could just use birth control in the future to avoid more of these problems and write a good novel as that would actually increase your wealth and prestige

"If it bothers you, then you flush it. It takes 2 seconds. Why are you making such a big deal about this?"
2 likesThis is the same reason I try to teach my kids to wipe toothpaste & hair out of the sink, to throw trash in the bin, etc. Because if I just do it for them, that teaches them that it's really not a big deal. And once they get into the real world as adults, I do NOT want them to be That Guy.

@Rick writes I guess it is connected to the "I am more intelligent than the cops" part. The other issue it that they are afraid that they going to be suspicious if they call for a lawyer which is of course nothing, compared to the confession, but when they get to that point it is already too late.

Also, the way he commited the crimes shows that he didnt even care about NOT leaving proofs (dna, car used, footprints) at the crimes scene. This man seems to be fighting against himself inside, like if a part of him didnt accept how bad is to do what he did.

2 likesI joined the Army at 17rs old- but even at that age I found many of the officers and NCOs didn't have the brains to fall to the ground without orders. First they try and break you, then mould you into a mindless killing machine. I always found it odd that a soldier can start as a private, then acting corporal, then full corporal, then sergeant, then colour sergeant/staff sergeant, then sergeant major second class, then sergeant major first class, and by that time, he can go to captain due to his age after all of that ladder climbing. But the highest you can reach by going through the ranks is lieutenant colonel. Yet some wet behind the ears second lieutenant can go all the way to field marshal. The army is a class system, the main reason I left is because every time I passed the officer's mess, they'd be eating from a silver service that soldiers had to polish every day, with butlers catering to their every need. They look for poorest, least educated and then turn their backs on them willing to sacrifice people who've put their lives at risk fighting stupid wars.

perhaps youre giving waaaay too much credit to military administration?

14 likes@HMQ exactly. theyre as susceptible to it as anyone else, doesnt take much to psychologically manipulate someone under friendly pretense. its a lot simpler to disconnect and evade when someone you can easily hate is trying to pry information from you, which IS something experienced military pilots are often prepared for. this was completely different to the way a military power would interrogate an enemy combatant. Military and criminal interrogations have different goals and different restrictions, which both affect the method required. dude didnt stand a chance in that room.

6 likes@finn bell and no, interrogation is never easy.
2 likes@Ja frost Completely different scenarios. With fraud you have government records that automatically (with computer machines and otherwise) weed out discrepancies.
1 likeOn the other hand, the forensics experts are still developing the case when the interrogator got a complete confession and acknolwedgement of guilt as well as the disclosure of other information that authorities have still not even got a hold of (such as his admission of where the body is, along with other items and paraphernalia that connects to the crime).
@Ja frost , Pretty sure your comment is supporting the Canadian and Australian Special forces.
4 likesBelieve me, they are the absolute best, along with the British.
They are not to be underestimated.
They are dangerous, and they are on the right side.
@Nicole S yeah great idea let's all have a fresh new take on the eternal bullshit 'which military special forces is the best' discussion i can't wait
4 likesI mean sure, but the core thing to remember is they wouldn't be questioning anyone if they had solid evidence of you doing something. So anyone just needs to keep in mind everything they're saying from the time you engage them is a protocol to get you to admit guilt. In some cases even if there is none. So at every instance of speaking you keep th thought to give them nothing. Never give any answer that would indicate you've done anything at any time. Better yet just don't speak. So by those standards never give them the first word, and it renders any interrogators useless.
0 likes@Nicole S i know, my point there was overall strength of military has no bearing on the individual strength of its best people. Not always on the right side though. More than one former SAS officer bailed to work for the IRA post Vietnam. Though that probably says more about the treatment they came home to than their moral hygiene though
1 like@clive ramsbotty haha so useless right? 1st off we likely dont know half of the failures and successes of any special forces unit, let alone the fact that the majority of the job is "kill people, dont be seen"... how do you quantify a groups proficiency at that?

He is guilty, shouldn’t he have used any chance to get out of there and save himself? He could have left anytime. Not only that, he could’ve gotten a lawyer but he declined. He is oddly nonchalant, as if he knew he wanted to get caught in his subconscious. Usually guilty people would want to flee the situation.

10 likesI have a cat and it’s so fucking horrifying to think of going to see what she’s doing, realizing she’s looking at a certain corner of my basement, going to investigate, and finding an actual man standing there. Usually cats are staring at nothing or a bug. Worst nightmare is for it to be an intruder.

If you watch very carefully, you will see that the interviewer began mirroring the pervert’s posture. He waited a long time before beginning to do this, and eventually did so twice. Then he changed his posture completely to one that neither had used: a contemplative stance.
7 likesAlmost immediately the sick pervert EACTLY MIRRORED HIM!!!
That was the moment the investigator turned the game, and the pervert decided it had no way out.
In truth of course the investigator had bluffed about the strength and value of the tyre and footprint evidence, as well as the DNA from the first victim. Plus, they had no idea where the second victim’s body was. Had he lawyered up and said nothing, there was at that point insufficient evidence to convict. It convinced itself it was over, and convicted itself in it’s head!
But it wasn’t very smart. It hunted in its own back yard. It had some very odd, very prolific trophy perversions. It kept evidence that would have linked it to the crimes.
Despite all its evil depravity, the pervert had several weaknesses. One was it’s dependence upon its wife. It needed her on side for what it imagined would be the next stage.
For some reason, this was the most disturbing case. The confessions offer NO real explanation for the real motives. Those desire/revenge/hate questions are inconclusive.
The investigator is a genius. He saved lives for sure. The revelations at the end about entering children’s bedrooms suggests the direction the crime spree could have gone had it not been stopped. Excellent work.

0 likes@Dylan They didn't get to him out of nowhere. The questions were not taken out of nowhere. If they got to you, an innocent, would you be saying no in situations you should say "ok", "sure"?

0 likes@Matheus Blank if you were innocent that means you would have no idea what they were talking about because you would have to be involved to know.

8 likesComanche except it actually doesn't. There are plenty documented cases of false leads and such being yielded from torture, and that's on top of innocents who are wrongly imprisoned being tortured for information they literally do not have.
43 likesThe CIA also flooded the streets with drugs, tried to use LSD to brainwash people, tried and failed to kill Castro like a hundred times, and once spent millions of dollars putting a microphone in a cat in an operation that failed miserably.
So no, just because the CIA does something doesn't mean "it works" or "it's right"
Plain and simply, torture is barbaric, occasionally fails, and is probably overused.
@Comanche Naw, torture has been proven to not be effective. It's been proven since Vietnam when used against the Viet Cong. Torture often leads to misinformation because of how destructive it is to someones mental state. They will tell you whatever you want to hear, even if it's wrong, so that you stop. Fuck the ethical questions it brings up. It just doesn't work on a practical level.
29 likesThis narrative that torture works is upheld and maintained by folks who stand to benefit, financially, from telling that myth. The myth is then spread by gullible folks who attach themselves on an ideological level to governments who use said methods, allowing their own government to do said acts but demonizing other governments who also do it. "When we do it, it's good because my group is good and can't be wrong. When you do it, it is bad because your group is bad" is the basic premise.
Comanche all intelligence agencies torture smh

@Comanche First of all, please watch it one more time. he was super confident at first and gradually broke. Second, Of course torture works, that's why it's been used since the ancient time!!! it's so effective that many people- including myself would've confess to crimes we'd not committed.
4 likes@Comanche You're right in regards to "you're going to give any information" but wrong in how you interpret that statement. The person being tortured will tell you whatever you want to hear, even if they didn't do anything wrong and have no real information. That's the point. They will tell you anything, true or false, to get you to stop even for a short while. Think about this video. No physical violence was used, just psychology, on trained military personnel and he divulged everything without fuss.
7 likesBlanket statements like "they just tell you that to try and make the world less dark" are hyperbolic. There are countless studies by the FBI, CIA, MIAs and so on stating that. Just look them up yourself. Real life isn't a comic book or movie. It isn't simply pull fingernails and break bones and out pops accurate info, especially if the person being questioned doesn't have any info to begin with.
Spock well if you know so much about social psychology you would know that different methods can work depending on that persons morals and psyche. What about the person who you know knows information but is refusing to give it to you, because they have a strong sense of dignity and loyalty to country(the Japanese for instance). You are saying torture wouldn’t break that type of man down at all? What about the man scared of death and pain who even at the mention of torture spills everything he knows. The drug cartel owner who is only worried about himself and his own benefit when told they can make all the torture stop and have a lesser sentence if they rat out their friends so they do cause it helps them out? Do you just read one side of the argument and take it as fact or have you read anything about the possible benefits of torture?

0 likesone thing i noticed, the interogator failed to mention his military reputation. At the begining the narrarator mentioned it was to take away his higher social stance and bring him down to his level, but the downside to doing this is that its harder to put his military reputaion in his mind. The impact of his actions on how his men view him would have likely been enough to force him into sliping up. Although that would have been a good tactic to utilize in a later interview if this (softer) tactic had failed to illicit a confession, or evidence.

On the flip side people like your friend have may saved many innocent men from prison.

The interviewer testified that she was 100% certain that the daughter had not been interfered with.

But I saw that guy had just got off a bus and didn't even see me so I knew the police was lying, and he had such a wild look in his eye I felt like he was a dirty cop was trying to abduct me. Why would a police make such a blatant lie and look so crazy doing it??? There were some other people out for walks so I wasn't too scared because there were witnesses. He kept asking me where I lived and telling me he'd drive me home that I wasn't safe, but I told him I lived close by and promised I'd go home. When he finally left me alone he looked kind of sad and resigned about it. Later I found out it's because Williams was in the neighbourhood and the officer really was trying to protect me.

0 likesStu Pidazzo in the military everyone especially high ranking officers are extremely aware of their positions. When talking to someone (first you ask permission) you always address them by the rank. It's a honor thing. If you use their name you raise yourself on the same level.
7 likes@I am the one even if the person addressing the authority isn't even in the military? (Like the detective here)
2 likesStu Pidazzo There is a line in the rank hierarchy when passed after which other institutions like hospitals will refer you as colonel or general. Where I come from that doesn't happen even if you were 4 star general but it is a practice in many countries. Colonel comes right before 1 star general so he was pretty pissed he wasn't recognized. I can't amplify how neurotic officers are of their rank. If you address them by higher rank they will give a smug smile and crack a joke if you address them by lower rank they will loose their shit.
4 likes@I am the one oh I see thanks for the info. I didn't really notice any egos hurt or shit lost from our good ol' pal Russ here. Perhaps he secretly was in fact?
0 likesStu Pidazzo Oh, he was. If you ever go to military you will see how god damn childish place it is(but necessary). War is childish thing also so what else to expect. For officers its like a game of honor. The higher ranking you are the more respect you have. And then there are different units fighting over who is the toughest and most necessary. And they know exactly how to tune your mind to subscribe to that game. In 6 months you are brainwashed to value the things military wants you to value and behave as you are told to. This mad man was in the military well over a decade. If he is frequently addressed as colonel instead of Mr(as apparently is custom new continent) he must have been pissed. He just covered it but he sure as hell was.
0 likes56 minutes to get him to start his confession. That's scary quick. That lie about the tyre tracks/boot/fingerprint connection was genius.

Well if you commit SO many crimes.. you gotta know you're going to get caught eventually.. and for him it must have been a realization that.. 'hey.. it's finally that time.. I knew it was coming so fuck it. '
50 likesHad he walked away, right after the pleasantries, he would still be a colonel. Lesson! Police always smarter or thinks they are smarter.
4 likesFudge Fudge I agree, I just thought it was strange that he wouldn't even try to deny anything.
8 likes@theRobinBrown In my honest opinion, I believe there was a part of him (maybe subconscious even) that wanted to be caught, which is why he barely questioned the idea that something like tire track analysis could be done at a level as to make it similar to the accuracy of the likes of fingerprints or why he was so quick to establish such a convincing link between himself and the crimes he was involved in.
24 likesthere are moments when the sighs come across more like sighs of relief than anything else, at least to me.
There's several moments when he refers to the well-being of his wife and the impact on her as a primary focus of concern,showing that at least on some level he is capable of some form of emotional response based on the ramifications to others that come from the actions he committed (be it concern/pity/remorse).
He even states outright that he would hope that if he weren't caught that it wouldn't happen again but couldn't be sure.
Maybe I am way off as I don't know much about the case (aside from this video) nor do I have any professional background in psychology, and yes I still obviously view the Col. as a sick individual who deserves what he got and arguably more but yeah, I guess that's just my interpretation I got from viewing this footage.
That's not to undermine the masterful and eloquently subtle use of techniques on the side of the interrogator however. Its easy to want to go in guns blazing and tear the guy a new one when you believe or even flat out know the person is guilty. Anyone could do that, just like being in an argument with someone, demanding answers and whatnot. It takes patience, talent integrity (and I suppose a little trickery helps) to be able to pull off a confession like that one.
On a side note, I would be interested to see a breakdown on this channel of a high profile example of a wrongful arrest/conviction based partially on interrogation footage with an analysis on what may have been some of the underlying causes (at least on the interrogation side of things) such as the body language or answers given, that might have led to the wrongful arrest/conviction. I think it would be an interesting and different aspect that I don't think I have seen very often.

The justice system isn't about justice anymore. The truth is usually the first victim of the justice system. It has been my experience, that many of the prosecutors and cops, don't care who they hurt. They don't care about the victims. They enjoy destroying people, regardless of innocence or guilt. Use their authority to bully people. And are often, just big assholes and/or criminals with a badge.

6 likes@AshamedMusic • The snapple bottle was found bearing mortal injuries. Neck was broken and inside of the lid was ripped. All labels were removed while the bottle was still leaking. Saliva samples recovered from (what remained of) the neck point to you as the sole suspect but we cannot discard the possibility that a separate container was used, like a glass. Now, since you've named another suspect I'll have to ask you to be more specific. When and where did you and @Valkyrie carry out this deed?
4 likes@Valkyrie You were called in today on the suspicion that you were present and partook in the brutal defilement of the Snapple Bottle. There is no direct evidence pointing to your guilt but I'd like to interview everyone just to be sure. I'd rather let 10 criminals walk free than put 1 innocent behind bars. So here's the question. Are you familiar with @2fast4u 87? They claim you were their friend 10-15 years ago.

3 likesThat's logical if you are innocent or sitting there because of something you perceive as unjust, ridiculous, or meaningless. This man is a murderous fraud who knew he would look even more suspicious if he stood up and left. More so, as preponderant and conceited as he is, he obviously wanted to know how much they knew to subsequently try to confuse the interrogator - to lie his way out of the tight squeeze he was in. Sure, the fear of incriminating himself had to be there (he did) but he knew he was there because evidence was already pointing his way and walking out was not going to change that.

0 likesOn the other hand there is the deterrent factor....Just knowing that there is the possibility that the intended victim is armed, would have a very high percentage chance of persuading a bad guy from not trying in the first place.....If there is 0 chance of being confronted with an armed victim, the bad guy is going for it every time.
I have no idea what the Canadian Military allows their members to do...luckily I do not live there.....but judging from the people they have in charge i.e. Col. David Russell Williams, They obviously have pretty low standards.
I personally would much rather be armed, than not, in a situation. Of course if you want to be a sitting duck, that is your option.
@archerace7 fair points. Personally, I'm not convinced I could shoot an attacker, and I'd be concerned that a gun being available would just give them a gun to use on me that they otherwise might not have had (you know, in a hypothetical situation where an attacker got screened through a process that determined that they shouldn't be allowed to have a gun because they're likely to attack someone with it).
0 likesBut I also just wouldn't trust myself with a gun in the house, given my occasional suicidal ideation. It would be far too easy of an out for me. Or if there was never a scenario in which I actually needed it to defend myself, and a child got a hold of it and killed themselves. Being armed isn't worth that risk to me. I can make do with much less lethal modes of defense. Frankly, I could even live with tasers being allowed to the public, with proper oversight.
at the end of the day, I don't think guns are a magic bullet, so to speak, to stopping or preventing any crime. The death penalty isn't sufficient deterrent for killers, I doubt open carry would be. I also don't think there is a magic bullet that would solve crime. That would be completely impossible without literal mind control, which wouldn't be acceptable.
I do think they can help certain people in certain situations, but I think someone with a gun but little to no gun safety training and little to no regulation is more dangerous than no gun at all
these women were literally in the military on a base, you think a gun would have made a difference?

22 likesI hope more people start living with their friends and family, especially in remote, high crime or low light areas - research shows that firearm, taser or mace training won't solve the primary problem of panic causing the victim to freeze up or forget they have the defense item, especially if they're smaller than or are intimidated by the attacker. The kind of thorough instinct retraining that most military and police get is hard to access in the most remote (and thus high risk) areas and aren't super cheap or time effective. It's one of those things where i feel like the most at need people aren't best serviced by small defense items. At least guard dogs have their own instinct training!

0 likes14:06 I've always had an issue with people being accused of being guilty because they're behaving nervous. as stated by the narrator "discomposure was emanating from the suspect".

I was interrogated by the police as I had worked at another station (as part of my roster) that had an almost identical robbery. So I was the main suspect I was nervous and I was innocent. Ultimately they caught the offender, he was a casual staff member and would of had access to the keys and would have been able to make copies. But in my interrogation I was probably behaving nervous and second guessing my answers so as to not implicate myself. I was also emanating discomposure and a few other things!!

It just shows the disassociation has already happened for these guys. They kill easily because they're already emotionally removed from the world around them. They might care about a few people, like this guy with his wife, but for everyone else, there's no empathy at all. They mostly just care about themselves, though. I feel for their victims, they had terrible experiences that shouldn't happen to anyone.

9 likesWhile people such as Williams obviously have some sort of mental and/or psychological condition to cause them to commit such crimes, and need to be permanently taken out of circulation, I'm always puzzled by comments such as yours, as if you yourself had some personal vendetta against the person. Especially when such comments include violent and/or graphic descriptions of what you would like to do to the person. It's almost as if you're overcompensating for some sort of shortcoming yourself - perhaps some guilt of your own you're trying to suppress. Often, the ones that scream the loudest for heads to roll are the very ones that deserve it the most.
What about it, EverydayGear, ever rape or kill anyone? Or maybe you're "just" a peeper? Attracted to underage boys or girls maybe? Which is it?

No doubt there was a powerful sexual neurosis at work... but the same can be said of many nowadays, who never commit rape or murder. Being a military man perhaps, with a strong masculine inclination possibly added fuel to the fire of his condition? A mixture of unconscious factors converging towards a final act, interesting to think about I guess- but love and prayers firstly for the families who have been devastated by this horrendous man.

1 likeThe one thing that I see as a glaring issue with the investigation is why the hell the detective didn't ask if he had ever done this before? With someone this evil, there is almost no chance he lead a perfectly law-abiding existence his whole life, then suddenly when he was fifty or whatever raped and murdered a few people in a short period of time. You don't go from zero to serial-rapist-and-murderer at the drop of a hat. It's built up to. This wasn't some crime of passion where a relatively normal person could snap and kill - this was rape and murder - meaning he probably developed severe issues with sex, violence, and control during puberty - these issues form while they're adolescents and growing up, not when we're middle aged, and they stick with them all through their lives . Rape and murder and kidnapping where he was confident enough to break into his victims' OWN homes, an unfamiliar area where he did not have the upper hand, rape them on their OWN beds, and then take the victim with him in his car to his own damn house in another city or suburb or whatever That takes serious confidence and a comfort in what he was doing - almost like it was routine - that only comes with experience.
0 likesHe's done this before - several times. He's raped before, definitely, and it's almost certain he's killed before. He doubtless has many victims, probably going back decades.

0 likesI think the guy is actually somewhat proud of what he’s confessing. My take is that an inherent underlying motive of the crimes was that he liked taking truly insane risks and getting away of them, morality completely ignored.

2 likes@mcnuggets ferg i'll be fine, don't worry. I'll stress it once more, if you do anything illegal, do not underestimate the intelligence of today's and tomorrow's police system. It is the community and the factual information we give that assists the police. (staying quiet amd having a lawyer is smart and while I am not advising against that, these tactics delay investigation and man hours and do more to hint to your guilt to the untrained or lazy.) If you are guilty , you already know you are guilty at your core. Think on this before it ends up in the situations we see plentiful of on this awesome channel. Have a good day Mr McFerg*. God Bless and thank you for your thoughtful reply.
1 like@Travis Bowen No doubt the police are going to be on it, so why stay and incriminate yourself further out of fear of disrespecting them?
0 likesSorry if I have zero to no empathy for people trying to not take responsibility for their actions. Your mindset is defensive and, in my opinion, outdated. We don't have to go back and forth in the comments. I understand your stance and you have read mine.
2 likesAnyone else reading, cooperation with the police in a crime you have commited just ends the problems in this world. If you are innocent, then information you have or don't have will show that; If not, stop being ignorant and relinquish the notion that if you are brought into an interrogation room that the police have nothing or rely on your compliance to act or will just stop looking at you if you walk out or lawyer up.
And stating again, being quiet and or deciding to lawyer up can have the opposite effect you are going for as to an untrained investigator it might rub off as guilt. Look up examples and stay safe and positive in this life.
Of course it's going to look guilty. Still better than incriminating yourself needlessly though. If the police are interrogating you they're out to get you, they aren't trying to help they aren't being friendly they are building a case against you. Anyone reading this I would strongly advise to say nothing at all to the police.

G Man There are plenty of innocent people that have gone to prison for something they said or did incorrectly in an interview. I was trained in interrogation and I can tell you that it is not very hard to confuse people into saying something that you want them to say. There are many psychological techniques that are used so that someone who is tired, stressed or diminished in Some capacity may say something inculpatory without realizing it. A good lawyer can save you from yourself. Unless you you want to be the only guy in the room with no training or experience. An innocent person needs a lawyer more than a guilty one. Besides that it’s your right under the constitution. Why would you waive any of your constitutional rights?

Don’t get me wrong, he’s a disgusting scum bag, I just hate seeing that he has actual emotions.

I believe that William's show of concern for his wife's feelings is faked to win the interviewer's sympathy. I doubt that this egotistical narcissist understands what it is to love another person. Psychopaths have no shortage of emotions, but those emotions all relate to themselves, not others. To me Williams looks like he could be reeling emotionally from the shock of realising that not one single person he knows, his wife included, will ever want to speak to him or see him again. And that he is now completely alone. He certainly didn't cope at all emotionally after his arrest, because he became suicidally depressed and tried to kill himself, 2 months later.

You will more than likely not get passed the first psych eval before you are cashed and trashed.

0 likesThat is the most stupid remark I have read for a long time. Do you have a clue how mentally exhausting and depressing such police work can be ? It doesn't take one to know one - the old adage is false, but you have to know your enemy - in this case a potential psychopath - to know how he will react. Studying the psychology of such criminals and the criminally insane can be such a mental burden that it can easily destroy a policemen's family life, and his or her own, if they are not careful. A psychopath can never be a good detective, because it is impossible for them to put themselves in another person's position. Psychopaths are insane egocentrics, always.

6 likesGod. At 38:05 I actually thought he was starting to cry, and I naturally felt sort of empathetic-- like finally, at least he's feeling a tiny bit. And then he looked up and said, totally calmly, "got a map?" And my empathy totally withdrew, like it got burned.
6 likesI think we really try hard to recognize relatable emotions in people-- even murderers being interrogated, as strange as that sounds on paper-- and the reality of what psychopathy is, when you realize you were reaching out to an emotion that was completely fabricated, feels so startling.

2 likesGreat job Detective Smith. I served as a Military Police Officer in the UK for many years. Detective Smith did a wonderful job in breaking down Williams Rank Barrier at the start of the interview, levelling him and allowing the Police Officer to dig under his skin. Quite often Military people believe their above and not subject to Civil Law due to being isolated and detached from normal life. Col Williams was able to evade capture for an unknown number of years due to his transient life and his position in the Military in which it is generally perceived that a person of his standing would not harm a Fly. What i do think that helped in this case is that Det Smith isn't in the Military and as such was not sympathetic and influenced as such.

0 likesThis is why you get people, especially in the U.S who confess to crimes they never committed.
0 likes@Stu Pidazzo Criminal polygraphs tend to come hand in hand with a drug screen, because they are aware of people taking Benzodiazepines prior to polygraphs. "Beating" the polygraph has more to do with manipulating your biophysical responses to those baseline questions, commonly called "control questions." They'll ask you extremely obvious questions, and instruct you to lie about a few. "When I ask you if your name is Stu, I want you to say No." This is a controlled deception, and they can see how your body reacts. If you react much more strongly to these controlled deceptions, and maintain as calm and composed as possible when lying about more important matters, the test tends to be interpreted as "inconclusive"
1 likeIt's really all pseudo-science, but they'll have trouble saying you're definitely lying, if your breathing goes up, heart rate goes up, sweat increases, and you fidget more lying about your name, than it does when you say you didn't kill the person. So the results are almost always then listed as inconclusive.
I always had a fear that I would be mistakenly fingered for a crime, and I would be asked where I was at such and such a time on such and such a date. Unless I was at work, there's a good chance I wouldn't know where I was, much less, be able to prove it.
0 likesL Clark Polygraphers are careful about the way in which they ask questions. I wouldn't fear if I were you. They wouldn't ask "Where were you on X evening?" They'd ask something more like "Were you at the victims residence (or place of employment) or wherever the crime took place on X evening.
0 likesSo even if you can't remember exactly where you were that night, you'd know you were not at the scene of the crime. As such you'd feel comfortable saying no, and your biophysical reaction would reflect as much.
They aren't nicknamed truth detectors, but lie detectors. They aren't used to discover a truth, they're used to get an idea if you're lying about a specific suspicion.
Hope you can rest easier now 🙂
@Gene L but since polygraphs are generally used along with alibis to exclude possible suspects, and narrow an investigation, an inconclusive polygraph and no alibi wouldn't exclude you........
0 likesEvelyn Waugh you're right, lacking an alibi combined with an inconclusive poly result would do nothing to exclude you from investigation. My most recent comment was that the polygraph in that case would likely return results of "No Deception Indicated" if the person in question (who is actually Innocent) is asked specific binary questions regarding his whereabouts.
1 likeWere you at the Flamingo Nightclub at 6pm on August 13th?
He said he might not be able to remember where he was at a specific date and time but it's likely he'd be pretty sure of where he wasn't. He could answer that question with a negative, comfortably.
Edit: The polygraph is typically used a scare tactic once the list of suspects has been narrowed very considerably. Far past the alibi stage. Thankfully as time goes by, it's used less and less is already not admissable in court. I was simply stating an innocent person would likely return an NDI result and a guilty person can quite easily get an inconclusive result, if not an NDI.

They are paid to do things that are unthinkable and that's why in war times so many of them commit rape, child molestation, and cold blooded murder. That's why they come back into society after war times with PTSD because they fractured their conscience if they had any at all. These murderers are thought of as heroes and that's why this reality is like a Twilight Zone. People fear those who have served 20 years in prison for murdering one person and yet applaud those who have murdered like a serial killer in war. This feeds mankind's lust for killing and that's why most people sign up they're not drafted. Once a person has taken another person's life what's to keep them from killing you in line at the grocery store?

0 likesJust keep in mind this is Canada, i.e. he was supposed to be told he won't be leaving (as they strongly suspected it's him), the sitting between the suspect and the door is considered a form of detention and as long as you had an access (phone call) to a lawyer, interview keeps going no matter how many times the suspect says I wanna talk to a lawyer.

He was a soldier after all (pardon my english) and apart from all those tragedies, he served his country.

@E J I don't romanticize him. I also think he's completely wicked and deserves the punishment he got. I just want to take a step further in the analysis of his character. I try to understand his actions. He snapped really easily at the "crossroads". He could've just said he doesn't want to provide DNA, get a lawyer and voila, work something from that point. You are looking at this case in a strictly binary fashion - someone is a monster or not. I just tried to not do the same. I understand your anger towards him though.

1 likeI agree, Russell Williams is a gentleman and a scholar
burbon look he fell for the interrogation tactics not because he’s honourable and decided to give up but because he panicked.
0 likesI don’t think there’s any evidence to go off to indicate that he was in any way honourable. His military history doesn’t make him honourable. His caving and confessing to a crime doesn’t make him honourable. Moreover honour speaks of moral character, of which this dude clearly didn’t have from what I saw.
Yeah sure Hitler probably wasn’t a horrible human to everyone for all of the time, but the acts he committed (the death of millions) outweighs any “honour” he may have had, same as this guy.
Basically I see no evidence to claim he had a moral character.
@E J Your looking at your perceived notion of "honor". This man is a hardened psychopath that has excelled in a military career. He might not flinch at killing civilians or raping innocents but than truly be concerned for his wife. Its how mobsters can kill someone with a baseball bat, chop up their body and dump it in the river and than be completely obedient to their mom who scolds them. His fear truly might have had to do with his loss of his perceived honor (military accolades, his wife etc.). These people are able to dissociate the crime from their every day life. The man is a monster no doubt. Cruel and unremorseful this man deserves the harshest of penalties.

My frustration stems from the fact that this subject matter is the MOST IMPORTANT work any police investigation; bar none!
0 likesI am gonna go out on a limb and say that this detective's skill set does not require any knowledge of visual and audio recording efforts (nor should it). Therefore it is the fault of and belongs at the feet of the Top Cop of that police force (Chief, etc)!!!

Rape is about control and power. Don't ever let anyone tell you that it's about sex or the clothing someone is wearing. It has NOTHING to do with sex. This man was high with power due to his position in the military. The military is toxic and breeds monsters.

0 likesI'll state the obvious, this investigator is a beast and completely destroyed Williams by getting him to confess to all of these crimes in just over an hour but I don't understand why they didn't make it less of a show.
Some would say that Williams is the dummy for taking Smith to his word and others could also say that Williams is the one who brought this upon his wife, etc. I think those are true but, the only thing that the investigators had control over and a certain ethical responsability over was to limit the psychological damage done to the wife, who was innocent, as far as we know.

Scott sentenced Williams on October 22, 2010, to two concurrent terms of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.[59]". Allowing the possibility of parol is like saying we think this person can be reformed and can once again become a contributor to society. He also apparently collects his military pension. Is there any crime for which the Canucks will hand down commensurate retribution in serving justice? Thought number 2: It's just so remarkable to think about the secret mental lives people live. I suppose persons of action are more likely to act on those but this guy and BTK and people like these are just so scary because they are not the mentally impoverished psycho of the ilk portrayed in Silence of the Lambs.

Probably because they think that refusing to speak will make them sound guilty, but staying and acting a fool makes them look even gultier.
29 likesTim McManus I would just say flat out. ‘Hey man, I’ve seen too much tv to talk to cops without a lawyer. You might think it makes me look guilty but I’m better safe than sorry.’ I’ve already taught my teenager to never, ever answer questions in a police station. To just say she can’t speak without counsel being there.
40 likesThe fact he remained after the interrogator told him he was free to leave was due to his arrogance and misplaced confidence in his own intelligence...perhaps thinking the interrogation wasn't overly serious and would be a cake-walk for him. He may have initially thought he was only there to deal with a few easy questions - not as the prime suspect he actually was.

3 likesCrime is an emotional action. This archetype of the coolheaded mastermind is a movie, novel, and comic book theme. Plus, when on the spot, you are nervous, looking for emotional release, validation. Guilt and the Fear of being found out, punished is an intense feeling. Almost as if there is God, applying the heat. You may have never been arrested. I've been handcuffed often, and I always sing like a canary. No real crimes, mostly alcoholic based. One time right place, wrong time.

@Bethany ... I don't see it that way. He just led a double life. It was very risky behaviour. He just esculated things. It got out of hand. He did try to frame someone with the murder though. He was an addict I suppose. I think he was a likable guy. He would not of got so high up without the support of colleagues. It is a very interesting case. It tells me society is a facade when leadership can be feigned to this level. He has embarrassed emot of people and confused so many more let alone destroyed so many others.
0 likes@19zuzi82 ... well he did say he was concerned about his wife. That should not be ignored or brushed aside. I do not see why he would say it if it wasn't true. I accept he had no feelings for his victims. He was all ego so it was just about him. His wife was in his little bubble though. I am not really into labels. We like to distance ourselves from people that commit atrocious acts. I want to learn about myself from these people. We all have the capacity to turn evil. War will bring it out. Society has us hoodwinked. I am on a journey of leadership growth. It is about gaining access to the inner workings of the mind. You get more control when you prove yourself worthy is how nature works. I could kill now and not get too fazed about it. No PTSD either. Leaders are very resilient in that way. But I am not a pervert and I do care about others. So killing is only an act of necessity for me. We are really tribal people. Survival is the name of the game.
2 likes@Stewart McJinnon Is that a copypasta, 'cause it surely looks like one. If it's not, it's one hell of a tangent... And no, I think he was worried about his wife's reputation , not his wife well-being. If he truly cared about the woman he'd married he would have refrained himself from raping and murdering, for the sake of not putting her through the hell of having a murderer as a husband. Also, he just probably mentioned her to appear vaguely caring in hope to appeal to the interrogator. Feat at which he failed, BADLY.
1 like@19zuzi82 ..I'm not sure of the distinction between his wife's reputation and well-being. That makes no sense to me. His long term good friend was completely shocked by the revelations. This was on another program. To me this does not neatly fit into the label of psychopath. I feel life events and experiences can take us on a downward spiral. Yes he had a fetish and that was it. No big deal. But it was socially unacceptable especially due to his career. He tried to manage both. It got crazy. Rape becomes murder when society shows zero tolerance. Little steps lead you down a pathway to murder. It is a journey. Most serial killers describe it that way. Killing becomes easier. You cross a threshold. He seems pretty normal to me. I just don't have a fetish. No, did not paste. My thoughts in real time.
0 likes@Phil Ill .... He knew he was done when the search warrant was being executed.

0 likesIt IS interesting how Russ originally started with burgling women's underwear- a crime much more innocent *at least in relation * to where he ended up. Then assault. Raping. Torture. Killing.
It's refreshing to hear a different theory than "Russ had psychopathy". I havent finished watching, so I dont know which theory I'd agree with yet, but it's intriging to put forth an idea other than what is essentially a damaged prefrontal cortex. Not all killers, not even all serial killers, are strictly psychopaths in the fMRI-meets-Hare-checklist sense. This one had a paraphilia, and unlike say, Bundy, my understanding is when Russ's B&E began he focused on only on the clothing for his fetish, with no victim contact. It seems you're postulating the possibility Russ started committing those crimes without any urge or intention or plan to rape and or kill people, that this was a later development.
Psychopaths do have a ramp up, but it usually begins with violence like simple assault on a wife or gf , not nonviolent creeper paraphilia. Also if you have served and have seen many military men who are very human inside (or began that way) but can appear and behave as if they are emotionless because of their military training or experiences, you may see (or mistake) the possibility of Russ either having been one of these and this somehow coupled with the panty fetish somehow combusted and drew him deeper into sadism, (or even that he still has hidden emotion). Its unlikely but possible.
Something I think worth mentioning here is Orgasmic Conditioning. It plays a role in why paraphilia's for wearing panty here is different than someone just having a fetish or kink to do it. Paraphilia's destroy the will of those affected like youd say drugs do to an addict. Where they need more and more intensity, stronger etc, to get off, or even to get hard. This is why the controversial idea of neutralizing pedophiles by giving them animated porn or a set library of doctor-prescribed, mild pedoporn from the 30s (so the actual victims are mostly dead of old age) is actually NOT something that would help neutralize them. Having an orgasm while using such porn would condition their already affected brain and body to seek out more intense versions of it, inevitably resulting in the harm of a child. (That's the best analogy I've got). Anyway, it's totally valid to have a theory hes not a psychopath but a combination of other factors.
I find it interesting how quickly people always are to diagnose psychopathy actually. I wonder if it is our way of disassociating such killers from our species.
Because if we were to accept they're not, and are as human as we are...then you may be right, we can learn about ourselves, and each other, from we have always killed, the majority killed (and still kill) for socially acceptable reasons (war and self defense; in some cultures revenge or vigilantism) or at least socially understandable ones - (losing control due to jealousy or rage, usually the ones we refer to as voluntary manslaughter/2nd degree murder, "crime of passion" etc.). So maybe not so compatible with ol' "call me Russ" here.
@Rick writes ... I enjoyed reading all that. Yes I now look beyond the facade that is our society. I use what I call a leadership lens. It is our tribalism mentality. Any threat to the mental state of our society gets labelled as evil and gets ostracized. Too many labels. New ones just keep popping up. They are all descriptive or are shaped within the context of society. Labels tend to lock in our thinking. I like to connect the dots and not have a disconnected mind full of labels. I feel for answers rather than just observe and judge. I look within and understand others by understanding myself. It is a two way street. It is leadership. It is about taking the ego.
0 likes@Rick writes ... I enjoyed looking into the Chris Watts case also. It is a journey. Everything is. Rather than focus on the act of violence and labeling people based on their actions, exploring their journey is being more open minded. I say leaders tend to look at things from the opposite direction also. Followers have a one tracked mind.
1 likeAlso I see a pattern how rape becomes murder simply due to an attempt to silence the victim. Harsh rape laws lead to women dying. It is not an easy one to deal with. Well I suppose these rare cases are unfortunate compared to the strong deterant for commiting rape. It just shows that these murders are not thrill kills. It is all about self preservation.

1 likeIt's funny that at a minute 32:40 or so the tape shows the interrogator mentioning Paul Bernardo. I know it is somewhat fringe speculation but there are those out there such as the researchers William Ramsey esquire and private investigator Ed Opperman, as well as straight media outlets (below) who point out that Williams and Bernardo attended the same school at the same time. I don't think it's too crazy of a hypothesis to wonder whether some of these killers are networked such as the Chicago ripper crew's connection with John Wayne Gacy which is a pretty weird circumstance; it's known that there were other killers because Gacy has to solid alibis out of state for two of the killings and burials under his house.
1 likeSo what I'm getting at with all this is that there's so much left out of sensationalized media narratives with these cases that I don't think anyone just viewing public information that's available, especially public information including police reports and other relevant evidence or generated information to some extent (meaning it is sometimes played down or suppressed by lawenforcment or other officials such as lawyers or judges), has any idea what's really going on with these cases.
For instance just the meager amount of information that Jim Rothstein's, retired NYPD Detective Jim Rothstein brings to the table in regard to the David Berkowitz murders and the Son of Sam case, it's hard to imagine anyone with a brain in their head really thinking that Burkowitz wasn't actually part of an organized group of people committing these murders. But nobody ever hears about that, no one ever hears about Jim Rothstein or about the Process Church of the Final Judgment, no one ever hears about all the dog sacrifices going on in the parks or at the Mason and Zionist Sabbtean millionaire Samuel Untermeyer's estate which served as a ritual area. All the really interesting stuff that gets left out, while it doesn't paint a completely new picture or necessarily always drastically change a lot of the conclusions about a case, it differently opens up a whole host of new questions and I think it's a pretty disingenuous and suspicious the way these narratives are put out in the media.

I have heard of this case before and I have often wondered why he confessed so quickly. I have a theory that two things factored into his quick confession. 1, the talent of the officers interrogation techniques and 2. He wanted to get caught. He either never intended to kill his last victim and only intended to rape her but it went too far and she died or she recognized him since they had met before. Or there were two sides of him the sailor and the monster. His monster side killed her but there was still a small part of his sailor side left and he wanted to put the monster away for good. That small piece of him that remained knew he would only continue to escalate and if he confessed then no one else would die. Again this is just a theory, I could be totally wrong so don’t come for me. No one knows why hew did those things except him and we will never truly know what motivated him to do these evil things. I’m glad that officer was able to get that confession because had he not this monster would have continued to kill for who knows how long.

I think its kinda of a tactic to be more casual sounding, like you havent planned this line out before and you are thinking off the cuff, when we very well know hes used those same lines before with other interrogations. We do end with eh alot but usually not in the middle of a line of thought like we do with 'uh' when we are thinking of the next part or a way to word it. Eh is more of a rhetorical question of agreement or an opening to the other person to elaborate, or show understanding....all shortened to a sound. Get what im saying, eh?

2 likesI dont understand people who evaluate him like this. I think it is clear to see that this guy knew what he was doing was wrong and I think he knows morals. He had sexual fantasies that included rape and hurting someone and he gave into it. I dont think he took pleasure in killing them but was completely willing to do so to cover up. The sexual part was what drove him and even though he knew how wrong it was he didn't stop. Since it happened so late in his life I assume he was struggling with his deviant fantasies for a while before giving in. He also shows that he actually cares for his wife trying not to put stress on her. I think this guy has horrible sexual fantasies/instincts, found a wife he loved and had a moral code, but acted knowingly against his morals when he killed those innocent women.

0 likesandreas johansson He’s very simplistic in the details, hesitant. He isn’t going on and on about the crimes. He answers the questions, and provides to-the-point descriptions. People who brag and/or relive their crimes, go in to finite detail, as if they are getting off by it. I listened to his confession several times. IMO, he would be much happier back at his home to look at the women’s garments, and take photos of himself wearing them. ✌️
0 likes@CandiGale73 ???? That's 100% false. Of course hes to the point and matter of fact. He's a psychopath with BPD. He's also literally smiling many times during his confession as he reads his crimes like a grocery list. He ABSOLUTELY was bragging in the exact same way many other killers do. To the point, dead eyed, and brutal. Kerry rawsons own letters with her father confirms this. He was literally excited for his confession
0 likesandreas johansson if he reads his crimes like a grocery list, where is his excitement? Last time I read mine, I wasn’t experiencing excitement.

0 likesAre you a psychologist for diagnosing Williams, or did another diagnosis him?
@CandiGale73 lol are you a psychologist? You don't need to be one when MANY have analyzed him over the years like any serial killer. He's a psychopath with narcissistic personality disorder and many think he has borderline personality disorder. Obviously he's not going to show emotion like we do. He absolutely does go into excessive detail many times like when he goes on and on excessively about his "projects", his "kill kit", and the breakdown of the murders while he's smiling many times throughout. Hell he bragged so much many of the victims families has to leave the courtroom lol. Heres a TINY snippet.
0 likes"If you've read much about serial killers, they go through what they call different phases. In the trolling stage, basically, you're looking for a victim at that time. You can be trolling for months or years, but once you lock in on a certain person, you become a stalker," he said.
He then explained how the victim selection occurred: "There might be several of them, but you really hone in on one person. They basically become the [...] victim. Or, at least that's what you want it to be.."
He goes on forever. He is very clearly getting off on telling the world how "good" of a serial killer he is. He's too narcissistic not too and his own daughter confirms all of this in her book. Also he doesn't live in isolation and NEVER did. He raised a family, worked a steady job, was relatively well liked/known by his coworkers, and to this day he is one of the most prolific letter writers in American serial killer history and kerri rawson herself had to stop writing to him because he wouldn't stop bragging. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of BTK

I wouldn't say he was "distraught" at the thought of how his wife would be affected. More like a casual concern, like one would have at the thought of their car getting scratched up.
7 likesAnd saying he was disappointed doesn't necessarily mean he felt remorseful. He didn't elaborate, so he could have meant disappointed he got caught, or he could have meant nothing at all and just hoped a vague expression of remorse, combined with acting like he was worried about his wife, would be enough to gain some sort of sympathy and lessen some of the consequences on himself.
Psychopaths too, can develop feelings of remorse in rare cases for very specific important persons in their life’s, his wife being most likely the only person in his life he truly ‘cares’ about.
1 likejedi1706 fan this is true in most cases, but psychopaths can actually very rarely feel true ‘concern’ for someone that they love. Which is clearly visible in this video, he does not give a fuck about any of the girls he murdered and raped, but to the one person he cares for he truly shows concern.
0 likes@Gideon Jones I agree on the remorse part, he probably was disappointed that he got caught over such a trivial detail, which was made up, but ofc he didnt know it then.
2 likesHowever, i do feel he did have a level of concern for his wife. How he confessed everything to the last detail because he didnt want his wife to sit through multiple trials.
In all the cases ive seen and heard of psychopaths, sociopaths and others, one thing ive understood is they are all different when it comes to their motivation, what kind of harm gratifies them, how they treat their family, and they react when caught.
They are all different. No emotions, no remorse is a very generalized idea to them. Its true, but theres a lot more to them than that.
There's a quote by Hannah Arendt, taken from her writings on the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals, that's always really resonated with me: "Nobody is all monster, all the time." She wrote this in response to testimony showing that even the most irredeemably monstrous and sadistic Nazi war criminals all seemed to have aspects of their lives in which they genuinely seemed to care, even care deeply, for such things as their pets, their mundane hobbies, their wives or mothers, etc.
3 likesFor example, Eichmann personally, deliberately orchestrated the unspeakably cruel and brutal torture-murders of millions of innocent men, women, and even newborn infants...yet he apparently loved caring for his pet chickens; he treated them with immense tenderness, and was distraught at the thought of them not being cared for.

I wish the officer hadn't said the DNA results would be back so quickly. The fastest a lab can return DNA results is 4 hours (though in 2010 that test wasn't available), but standard DNA tests are 24-72 hours. If you need PCR or other modern amplification techniques, it's at least 72 hours. If you're going to bluff, be careful not to give away that it's a bluff so obviously. That could have easily backfired (though I'm glad it didn't).

@Lyft Eeng Yeah, some brands do that after a good while. I hated that. Not sure what the difference is but if I had to take a guess I would say the kind that turns to fucking swamp mush is probably a more traditional rubber while the kind that doesn't is probably some horrible silicone/silicone oil mix.
0 likes@mindache Eh, anyone with a discerning eye can assemble a healthy meal in a supermarket, just not as cheaply. Most people like their money and their sugar induced dopamine high a lot more that they like thinking about the future of their health. If the demand wasn't there, the 98% of crap that causes most heath disorders wouldn't be on the shelf.

i think ( and i am 3rd world oldfuck without future) "just not as cheaply" part is the core of the problem.
profit chasing profit to gain more profit disregarding anything else is whats fuckin us all.
whole damn planet.
Call him russ please
4 likes@mindache Yeah, but what I mean is that if literally no one bought the cheap junk, the businesses that make cheap junk would go out of business. I agree that blind profit chasing is a terrible idea for everyone, but even that is fine if the people have a minimum threshold of quality and responsibility that they will accept.
1 likeBtw, literally nothing threatens the earth. The earth started as a fiery death orb of pure lava which was pummeled for millions of years by what we would now call civilization ending comets, and then life happened. We could make it hard for ourselves to be here, but nothing except the sun expanding in a few billion years and swallowing it up will ruin it's ability to harbor some sort of life.

0 likesWhen the investigator mentions the reason for the "questioning", the suspect should immediately recognize that he has been busted, and refuse to answer. The tire tracks, and the boot prints, undeniably point to him. And, to think, they made him a colonel. A poor warrior, indeed
