This channel is like attending a very interesting class where I dont have to do anything

Its training for when you get arrested, in a nutshell don't open your mouth until you get a lawyer in there.

Congrats, that’s how learning is meant to feel

Congrats, that’s how learning is meant to feel

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.

Yeah you do , you need to listen and actually learn , just like every class , it just depends on why you’re watching for

You do a lot of things in your head and heart while watching this videos. Its just schol that mistaught you that learning means suffering.

I think the worst part about that is I’m more interested in learning and actually retaining information from these things then forced labor at school

Literally though I'm so mind-boggled I am willingly taking notes. Shame on you JCS, making me learn...

You have to focus your attention or you may miss something

@Shane Austin Yes. And this guy is guilty.

@Shane Austin Yes. And this guy is guilty.

What??? You lucky person! I came to this channel and the creator gave me homework....AND a damn test!!!!

Wow every now and then a comment like you nails what I'm thinking

Yeah but unfortunately all you learn about is a random loon

This is exactly what I wish education was like. I love learning but having it monetized and based on passing a test just fucks it all up

@Teresa What a great  transferable skill!

Perfect description!  I’m in sales so I use these to enhance my interrogation skills using psychology and reframing. Love this channel

I agree!  Criminal psychology is fascinating.

I agree!  Criminal psychology is fascinating.

But you’re compelled to listen because it’s so engaging.

This channel is like attending a very interesting class where I don’t want to be in anymore!

I know right! That's such an accurate description

That was basically my forensics class. I had the coolest ex cop for a teacher and all we would do was watch murder documentaries and movies.

yea wish they had more content :( love these longer episodes

Your right. Subbed instantly. One of the most informative channels on youtube

@Jade haha well played...Dr. Douchebag, checkmate.

You should check out Jordan B Peterson's channel then. Best psychology education that you can find on Youtube.

I have never agreed with someone in such an agressive way

I was a Psych major in college, and now I'm a criminal prosecutor, so I love videos like these!

"where I dont have to do anything"<br>That's my dream

"where I dont have to do anything"
That's my dream

good way to put it, I agree, addicting to watch these people under pressure too haha

You just described my entire University degree...

#1 take away from this !  NEVER TALK TO COPS !

Oh my goodness! You are so right! No note taking required here.

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

@Syn damn, you dont have many friends do you😬

@Syn damn, you dont have many friends do you😬

Shane Austin If that’s your point, then why did you stalk the comments to find the stalker? You started the Infinite Regress, Congrats.

@Syn do you just stalk YouTube for Comment Thiefs orrrr?

Do you always steal comments for thumbs up likes on YouTube orrr?...

Not only that it's like a class I didn't sign up for, yet in few months I'll become a novice interrogator.


It’s so bizarre how much he cares about his wife’s feelings, but not the women he kidnapped, brutally raped, and murdered.

@Beautyalaritz they have feelings, they just don’t believe others have feelings

@Beautyalaritz they have feelings, they just don’t believe others have feelings

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.

Even Hitler cared about Germany or something.

Even Hitler cared about Germany or something.

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

He loves his wife. He considered the murdered women as objects.

@Ash Walkerthisway theres no such thing as empathetic narcissism. Thats like saying water is dry

@Ash Walkerthisway theres no such thing as empathetic narcissism. Thats like saying water is dry

@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

@Tunnelsloth I had no idea he wanted to kill Liz, where did you find that info?  She was the one he loved. Scary man that’s for sure,

@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.

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’

I mean he obviously regretted doing what he did. Also, he'd been with his wife for decades (I believe). In my opinion he showed a lot of remorse.

@Way Hectic Not a man? Weird... looks like a man to me.

@David Pacolay One of his surviving victims said his wife knew and helped cover up for him. I’m not saying this is fact, but one victim Did say this.

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.

@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.

@4chanBackIn2006 oh wow. I hope that’s not true. If it is she needs to be punished in some way.

@4chanBackIn2006 oh wow. I hope that’s not true. If it is she needs to be punished in some way.

One of the surviving victims actually said that his wife knew he was a predator and helped him hide it. Allegedly.

Beautyalaritz his motives are all selfish he doesn’t want to hurt her so she’s still around for his benefits

They never cooked for him or did his laundry.

@Valinor You're fine. Don't let these armchair psychologists think you're a monster. They know fuck all about what they're talking about.

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.

He doesnt care about her; it's said to appear as if he does have feelings. <br>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.

@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.

cballin you are the greatest of all time

cballin you are the greatest of all time

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.

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 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.

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

Total mystery, how does one be more considerate to some people than others???? This is a basic principle just taken to an extreme.

why on earth would it be strange that people care about the objects of their affection

why on earth would it be strange that people care about the objects of their affection

It's compartmentalization. Psychopathic males are extremely good at it. He looks at victims as objects of pleasure.

@Valinor please speak to a professional about these thoughts. I'm not being sarcastic or aggressive.

His wife was there for him before he lost all compassion towards other females I'd have to guess

His wife was there for him before he lost all compassion towards other females I'd have to guess

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 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.

its an exchange of one way compassion which he doesnt want to lose and hurt his ego

its an exchange of one way compassion which he doesnt want to lose and hurt his ego

@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?

@Valinor Feelings/empathy for human life isn't typically only felt for humans you can benefit from.<br>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.

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.

I 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.

@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

But also how much could he really care about his wife... if he actually wanted her not to suffer he wouldn’t of done that crap. He needs to fry.

Right? It's presumed that psychopaths feel no empathy or remorse yet he conveyed that for his wife...

Right? It's presumed that psychopaths feel no empathy or remorse yet he conveyed that for his wife...

He has no empathy for them because they arent important to him or his life, it's basically empathetic narcissism if that's a thing

Seems to be a common theme with married serial killers.

This interrogator is so good I almost admitted to it

@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"

@JV PW Actually the unedited version is nearly 3 hours

@Chaz Mcdickinson The guy is regarded as one of the best interrogators in the world.

@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 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!

@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.

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

I know omg I’m over here clapping him on

Right!? Got a confession in less than an hour!


Am I the only one concerned that this guy with Top Secret clearance can cave so easily and quickly under basic interrogation techniques?

Guilt is a powerful force irrelevant to the situations you’re implying

Guilt is a powerful force irrelevant to the situations you’re implying

@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].

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

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.

@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.

@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.

@Demarkil regular people who should be have extraordinary training and discipline, especially at the higher ranks. Sadly, that’s apparently not always the case.

People actually believe military  leaders are exceptional human beings? They're not. They're just people.

@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.

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.

@daFawkes understood but I think that is the point. This creep slipped through the cracks and that's disturbing.

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.

@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!!

Nah I don’t blame him, the detective was legendary

Nah I don’t blame him, the detective was legendary

@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.

@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.

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.

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.

When you look at the collection of garments... physical contact was the next step.

@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.

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.

@Numbzie That's not the point of torture. The point was to get the truth. Torture is counter productive.

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

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.

The only words out of his mouth should have been get me my lawyer he would still be free

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

@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.

@Numbzie false positives are the entire problem outside of ethics, it's more significant then you seem to give credit.

@Numbzie false positives are the entire problem outside of ethics, it's more significant then you seem to give credit.

Imagine that he is trusted with classified information but belives shoe prints are unique to each individual just like fingerprints.

@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.

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.

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

Top Clearance isn't to prevent you from giving up information under torture - it's just to prevent you from posting state secrets to fucking Facebook.

Easy to cave when you realise that there's no hope for you

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.


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!

Im beginning to think he’s the only detective in Canada.. he’s featured in many high profile interrogations

That voice with a sympathetic tone can make criminals confess against their will.


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.

@Christopher Anderson yeah got that from his first comment. I just like collecting trolls, they're adorable.

@Nemo I think you got trolled lol<br>I believe that cravenblade2 is a genius.  He's ded serus.

And Russel would've gotten off because of trial errors. Great job

@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.

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.

I think russ himself wanted to confess after he thought he was caught by seeing the footprints....

I have a feeling he wanted to confess though.

I have a feeling he wanted to confess though.

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.

@ian mcavoy Not if...what? To what part are you responding?

@ian mcavoy Not if...what? To what part are you responding?

@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?

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.

@cravenblade2
And exactly for that reason did Russell crack.
He probably also thought the detective is trash and that they have nothing on him.

@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!

@VitalMercenary Unbealivible sence of humeur their, Sir

@VitalMercenary Unbealivible sence of humeur their, Sir

@Sally J well said Sally, with the comments section invaded by trolls it difficult to have a civil conversation or debate.

@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.

@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 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.

Hi Alan Constantine, I also respect your opinion, thanks for helping me see the simplicity of approach for the better outcome.

@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.

@Clinton Pendleton Why include your own counter? Why shift the video up just enough to hide the actual timestamp? It's called DECEIVING.

@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.

@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 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".<br>    JCS obviously cuts out tons of info for times sake.  The detective did an amazing job nonetheless, but it wasn't in an hour.

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.

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

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

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.

@cravenblade2 yeah sorry but that detective was good

@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?

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.


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.

@J K you ain't the sharpest colored person out there, are you? 😂

@Sarah O’Hara bwahahah. And all I could think was - are you Barney in disguise? 🤣

@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.

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 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.

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 <del>or a car justice warrior</del> and knows better

Sarah Kirschling You’re welcome. Note to self: Must work on creepy 😜

G58 thank youuu and thank you. Btw creepy and witty is my favorite combo 🙃

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. 😎

Nomen Nescio I identify as a purple meat popsicle thank you very much

Nomen Nescio it’s actually very common and helpful to call in a suspicious vehicle

@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.

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 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 did you watch the video? he called the police after that person went missing <b>the same night</b> he saw the car there. Very good use of police resources as he would have went on to kill more women

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

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.


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.

@Thomas Downey the best I could do was find some reaction videos. Not ideal, but it's what it is

@Cookie Ninja Do you know what they are called because someone else could’ve uploaded them? I very much hope so

This playlist is getting shorter all the time. There are 2 or 3 videos I used to watch that are gone now :(

@OllieDavies he hasn't announced what platform yet, and his twitter acct is SwimJim

What platform is he moving to? I tried to find him on Twitter but I couldn’t


The content of this channel has heavily reinforced to me the importance of not talking to the police. Ever.


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.

@* 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

@Gustavo V. It took me 3 separate sessions to finish this video. its harrowing.

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."

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.

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

@I am gonna be Billionaire in 2020! I Don't think you gonna be a billionaire any Time soon with that attitude honey

@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.

Remember being a child and being scared of monsters? This guy is definitely one of them. There's nothing scarier than a psychotic human.

@Dominique Marie Yeah flying planes es for the queen he sure knows about war casualties

Krystal Mead I mean civilian deaths make up the most casualties of wars I think these ppl are very desensitized

@* VENOM *  I'm more scared of the guy who raped and brutally murdered women than the guy doing his job

@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.


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.

more like 2% ive barely seen any about that

@Mr. Red Not necessarily kids, but even worse- people who feel the need to be angry. Constantly. Incessantly.

@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.

Hit em where it hurts. He obviously only cares about himself and not for the victims. So degrade him.

@Lucy F I totally agree with you. I am not into cross dressing but if it’s someone’s thing - then they should go for it.

@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.

@H.P. Hatecraft Then just say burglar or panty thief. The fact that he's cross dressing isn't the problem here lol.

@Lucy F well uh... he cross dressed with the underwear he stole from women

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.


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!


JCS is like a good dog. we don't deserve him, but we hope he knows we love and appreciate him.


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!

Yeah I'm glad they were able to both keep going at that point. Usually that's the end of it. Composure is really everything

Look closely at the detective’s cheek - he momentarily lost his composure but quickly regained it.


'So I told him we have a world renowned expert on footware impressions!' <b>laughter from his colleagues</b>

'So I told him we have a world renowned expert on footware impressions!' *laughter from his colleagues*

They were probably watching on the camera from the other room, laughing when he said it.

@sleepful I recognized your username/pfp from Cumtown videos...that's how gay I am.

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

@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.

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

@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)

@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.

“Our world renowned footwear impression expert, Kenny the copy guy..”

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!

Hes just the photocopy guy, not even a cop lol


Serial killers in America: I will NEVER admit it! You will NEVER CATCH ME

Serial Killers in Canada: This is how I did it, here is the body, and I’m sorry

@The whispered sins of house !!!!!!!!! “That Chapter” definitely aims to prove that too lol

@V H  i would hope a population 10 times smaller would have less

@V H don't know about the percentages but the population difference should be noted

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.

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'

@Luke_MoonWalker I’m sorry sir but you are overly rude

Silkyizsik we got some crazy ass ones tho..so the few we have are scary asf

@Beena Plumber what would you call his condition?

@Vulgrim  Yess yess... me and my 4 upvotes disagree

You should watch That Chapter to see that canadian killers are pretty crazy too

@V H That's because there are less people......

@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.

@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?

@V H are u serious? Canada if full of killers... Canada and Florida

@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.

Stephanie Ann Yeah, it really does seem like he didn’t want to face his wife after this.

Lol, true. Except for Michael Rafferty 🤬 I seriously hate that monster.

@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.

Silky -true but more child molesters in Canada.

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

The interrogator had a lot to do with this confession, the guy is on point Go Jim Smith

Wait..did he say "sorry"?  I missed that.  (But yeah..this whole thing is so polite!)

Lol. True and they will show with a map!

Significantly less serial killers here in Canada in general too


My respect for Jim Smythe was already high, but when I heard that he refused every deal for the rights to his story, it shot through the roof.

What an absolute hero, and a class fucking act. I'm glad there are men like him on the force.


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.

Yes, it's absolutely chilling. I already have to check the closets and under the bed. Now I have to add the basement...


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


This is the first time I realized that interrogating someone is actually quite an art form.

@Deirdre Brydon I think it's on the JCS Patreon that I saw it. The guy being interviewed/interrogated was called Michael Briere.

Of course you have to be very highly socially intelligent to be able to build someone’s trust and have them open up

That interrogation is now part of detective academics, in North America.

@V H he was my best pupil.

He called me shortly before the interrogation. But he didn't need my help, just some reassurance.

Jonathan Yes, in this one. Jim Smyth is one of the best in the world. And he works for one of the best behavioural science teams in the world.

@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.

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.

If Jim interviewed me I'd confess everything, even stealing that candy bar as a kid.

I didn't realize how much I sucked at conversation until I had to start doing it for a living

Just be happy your dad didn't do this for a living. From experience, it's awful.

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

CA VG that is a good point, this guy is highly skilled compared to other investigators I’ve seen

All I know is I wouldn't want to sit down at a poker table with that investigator.

I took some interrogation classes in the military and it really is. I wasn't that good at it. You have to be able to sell shit to a toilet.

Ashley Garden I know! It’s like a choreographed dance. He goes one way, interrogator goes the other way. It’s amazing to watch

yes. if you are high educated and maybe not from usa. for sure there are as many beautiful and intelligent people.<br>but the system is not for education in human category. ( i am talking bout the justice sys )

For real.
That was some Jedi mind sh*t.
Impressive.

If this was my husband I could never hide anything from him - not a single pair of shoes ! :))

@CA VG this detective is quite good at his 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.

A lot of it, maybe not necessarily in this one, is actually very theatrical


This channel is a free degree in criminal psychology and integration techniques

A degree with no tests or exams, my kind of degree

Should be useful when my kids become teens. ;-)

@John Selwitz jim just shut his patreon down and has stopped uploading there :( do sad. i was a patron for so long.

@Franc Von VillionJim: then fires you for being late

SusieW His patreon is absolutely awesome. Best $1 I’ve ever spent

Integration techniques? I wasn't aware they did calculus tutorials here too 🤣

Better than a degree if you're living in america tbh

Ive taken the Reid course, he does a good job of explaining from what I've seen so far.

Job interview for interrogation
Jim: So what is your scholar history?
Me: I watch JCS religiously.
Jim:*gives me the job*

SusieW oh really? Cool, I’ll have to do that, thanks


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.


I still come back to JCS whenever I cont sleep.❤❤your voice is so calming and the subject matters are sooo interesting 😍😍🇿🇦
