Canada - Marie-France Comeau, 37, & Jessica Lloyd, 27, slain, Ont, 2009 & 2010 - #1

[burbqueen]

this just backs up what I have been saying. I think most of the so-called "experts" are full of it or just guessing. Yes, its scary, but there are SK amongst us who live normal lives and stay under the radar. Not every SK is some ex-con raving lunatic. Look at the BTK killer and numerous others.

Is it possible that a very busy person in an executive position involving work-related travel could have enlisted the help of a hired hand to do his legwork? By that, I mean someone to analyze possible prospects, thereby saving valuable time for the executive?

This is the era of personal chefs and so on, so I wonder.

I have also had some similar thoughts. I was thinking regarding the photographs, if they were only for his "personal use" , or was he sharing them with someone/s ? In this day and age with the internet, predators have their own "community". Well if there is anything to that, his computer will hopefully tell all!

I read a novel by James Patterson, i think it was "Four Blind Mice" It was a group of rich and powerful military men who paid for video and footage of rapes/murders. The man who was committing the crimes was military and committed the crimes wherever he was posted. As soon as this came out I thought of the book!

 

[noZme]

Has the cause of death been reported in any of the cases being reviewed for connections to Williams? Also, has anyone seen anything about where he grew up? All I read began with his college years.

 

[dar107]

It's an actual term used by profilers, BTW. Getting an aspirin for the victim during the assault falls under that category. Research it if you don't trust that.

BTW I should have included that I realize this is not your term. Sorry!

 

[pinkeyesucks]

um, I new here, do I need to register if I am from the area concerning this case?

 

[nobodyzgirl]

I was just expressing MY opinion. I don't care why they are calling him that. In my eyes he is NO gentleman. As I said, I am sure the families don't appreciate it.

ITA agree with you, anyone who does what he has been charged with, is no gentleman in my opinion either.

 

[nonfictionrocks]

It's JMO that a predator even as cocky as RW would not delegate stalking potential victims. (If this is what your alluding to.) It's quite possible that RW was doing "personal research" while appearing to be working. We may be overestimating how much actual time he spent on military duties and may have had more free time than we realize. Remember that sociopaths are extremely devious and excellent at covering their tracks. But it seems that RW was not quite as clever as he thought he was.

JMO

ITA and want to add that IMO, I would think that stalking potential victims is an intricate part of the whole thrill package.

An interesting tidbit was the fact that he was driving the Pathfinder when they got his tire impression instead of his usualy ride; the BMW.

His wife not having a clue reminds me of Witchita's BTK. His killing career spanned almost 30 years and she never suspected him. He had a huge collection of drawings of the murders scenes (and future scenarios) as well as other items and she never found them - or so she said.

It's the policy of the Websleuths owner. I think that is for reasons of legal liability. Antiquegirl is telling you this as a courtesy, because the board owners ban people who do not substantiate things with links. Right, antiquegirl?

Private messages, however, are another thing altogether.

So, it does not matter what the members think of the Websleuths policy: they merely have to follow the rules set by the site owners.

You are right, Summer. Not just legal liability, but also to try to prevent hoaxes and fraud. This is not aimed at any specific poster, but it's possible for anyone to sign up here and claim connections and "facts" that do not exist, thereby confusing and misleading our investigation. This is why admin asks for links or at the least, identifying sources. A way around this (sometimes) is to contact Tricia to verify your ID and personal connection to the case(s). To circumvent these rules runs the risk of being permanently banned from the site. And yes, it was a courtesy warning before any mods come in and start deleting posts and banning people.

PJ, please don't take this personally. We would like you to continue posting, but following the above guidelines is for your own protection, as well as for the purpose of maintaining the integrity of the investigations here. While the rules may not always make sense to everyone, they are the rules of this site. I hope you consider contacting Tricia to get yourself verified as an insider. Just trying to help.

Funeral arrangements for Lloyd are being handled by John R. Bush Funeral Home and visitation for family and friends will be Friday 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Service will be in the chapel Saturday at 1 p.m.

Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.

You only need to register if you know the accused, accused's family or knew the victim and/or the victim's family, not if you live in the area.

A group of men, now that is an interesting idea. Yes, we do know that there is a market for sexual exploitation/violence on the internet. There are daily reports in the news about *advertiser censored* rings. There is also a possibility that some people limit sharing their collections to a chosen few, an inner circle, kind of like a club.

I do hope that the police investigate all the possibilities. What if a predator does not limit his tastes to one particular demographic?

Speaking of which, this book looks intriguing:

OK, maybe not professional posters, but posters that are professionals Although a lot of you probably are professional posters by this time.

We are lucky enough to have posters from all walks of life with a broad spectrum of expertise and/or some may have special inside knowledge about a case.This is all extremely valuable information for the forum.

But,we like to make sure that anyone posting as a professional in a specific area truly is what/who they claim to be. This is not a new rule and has always been the case. But it seems unclear to some and I wanted to clarify it.


This thread is to reference posters that are posting as experts in certain areas, such as law ,psychology,LE, and we even have a resident chemist. This also applies to those that claim to be insiders to a case.

Please know that Tricia does not reveal ANYONE'S identity if you should choose to be confirmed by her.

We just want to make sure that if posters rely on information posted by someone with special training, that they do actually have that training.
if someone posts with "expertise", and they are not on this list, do not assume they are an expert, but rather use your own judgement as to how much weight you would like to give it.

Not unless you are personally connected to the victims, the accused, or other parties closely involved in the case (i.e. LE, lawyers, family, etc.). To the best of my knowledge, any info posted here needs to be backed up with links and/or an identification of your source. If you're not going to do that, you need not register. Your own personal opinions and speculation are fine, as long as it's made clear that that's what they are.

[RubyRed]

This article highlights where he has been and some unsolved murders, in those areas.

[Paladine]

I was watching CTV Newsnet...they reported...

-Funeral for Jessica this weekend
-Williams showed the police Jessica body

-He confessed to Jessica and Marie-France's murders

-He has not retained a laywer, he's using duty counsel

-Searches at both houses concentrated on crime trophies, clothing, other articles of clothing, photo collectionictures taken of assault and murder victims

-Col told police he took the photos

-Kathleen was also mentioned as being investigated

Also, this...

"The once high-flying career military officer told investigators about four dozen break-ins in addition to the crimes he has been charged with, published reports say.

Williams, who has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of two women and the sexual assaults of two others, described the string of break-ins that followed the same pattern: stolen lingerie and lots of photographs, the Globe and Mail reported, quoting several sources.

He is also alleged to have told police he photographed the two break-ins that led to the rapes and the two murders of women. He has been denied bail on those four charges and remains in custody until his next hearing on Feb. 18.

The Globe said Williams gave police a long and far-ranging confession in a business-like manner.

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/763292--colonel-told-police-of-break-ins-report?bn=1

Globe and Mail piece...well worth the read...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...asure-trove-of-photo-evidence/article1462386/

Not sure if this is old news, don't have time to read back...but I found it interesting enough to chance a repeat posting...

ITA and want to add that IMO, I would think that stalking potential victims is an intricate part of the whole thrill package.

An interesting tidbit was the fact that he was driving the Pathfinder when they got his tire impression instead of his usualy ride; the BMW.

His wife not having a clue reminds me of Witchita's BTK. His killing career spanned almost 30 years and she never suspected him. He had a huge collection of drawings of the murders scenes (and future scenarios) as well as other items and she never found them - or so she said.

There is another possibility, too: persons enlisted as "sweepers" to tidy up the trail, whether they wanted to, or not.

Serial murderers are not always the loners we think they are.

 

[Paladine]

A little personality info...

He would enter the Red Lion alone, always between 2:30 and 3 p.m., taking a seat at the end of the bar, away from the chattering locals assembled at the other end near the beer taps. Dispensing with pleasantries, he would simply order his usual pint of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale and sit quietly, nursing his drink and avoiding conversation, as if deep in thought.

"He barely talked at all," said bartender Christine Maclenan, whose family has owned the dark-panelled Red Lion Pub on Belleville's Coleman Street for 11 years. "He kept to himself. You couldn't have a conversation with him. It was bizarre."

The solitary and reserved figure cut by Col. Williams, 46, at the bar is similar to the description given by those who knew and worked with him.

2 more possibilities, timeline might fit...do we have a Russell Williams thread? That may be needed...not sure if I should be posting this here..:waitasec:. I wonder if his was more a home invasion, underwear fetish that went awry...not too sure if this is his MO. Police are sure pulling out all their old files, a good thing.

"Back in 1983, Erin Gilmour and Susan Tice, were sexually assaulted and murdered within 4 months of each another, in downtown Toronto.

In 2000, DNA revealed that both women had been killed by the same man.


Gilmour's brother, Sean McCowan, told Global News he called Detective Sergeant Steve Ryan of the Toronto Police Cold Case Squad after reading the papers on Tuesday.


"(Det. Sgt. Ryan) just mentioned that the Colonel is a person of interest and they're going to take a look at it," McCowan says. "You start to think about Erin's case, and could this person be somehow involved."
