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

Who knows? He'd be pretty stupid to, IMO.

I'm wondering what he was doing in Ottawa when he was arrested and how long he'd been there. He was certainly in the Tweed/Trenton area when questioned on the highway, so it couldn't have been long. Was he on assignment, eluding LE, or something else entirely?

JMO

FYI-Trenton is nowhere near Tweed, he would have been stopped on HWY 37 going into Tweed when they asked him.

His wife lived in a house doing renos in Ottawa, and the trip from Ottawa to Belleville (or Tweed) is about 3 1/2 hours, give or take. It's not a short trip by any means.
He worked on the base, which would have been a 35-40 minute drive from Tweed to Trenton daily. I don't believe he was eluding LE as he lived in Tweed, and commuted daily to and from work.

"In September, two women were attacked in Tweed, about 40 kilometres northeast of Belleville. The victims were hit, tied to chairs and photographed by their attacker."

From:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...fter-ontario-woman-disappears/article1457129/

hmmm.. I wonder if they had sketches done up or if he was completely masked, etc? I am guessing so as no one in this area ever warned women here. Interesting. Also, were they inside his cottage I wonder... Sounds like he was a Paul Bernardo in the making for sure.. A switch from rapist to killer?

And I don't care what anyone says, being a wife.. I would hope that she would notice something strange about her husband. It all comes out in some form or another, you know?

One question about a number of people being involved, but only one charge; at 7:02 in the PC. Interesting.

Thanks. I used to be familiar with the Tweed area as friends of ours lived in the outskirts there in the '70s. We visited them dozens of times back then, but now I don't remember where specifically their house was - only that we had to go through Tweed to get there. Coincidentally, these same friends later moved to Port Dalhousie where their home was directly behind that of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka at the time of their arrests. What a small world!

Poor Jessica and the Lloyd family. I am so happy that they've caught the perp, for both the sake of the victims and their loved ones.

I don't live in Belleville, but it's not a terribly long drive, so I was very concerned about whether or not the police would be able to catch the monster. It was especially frightening because police had even gone as far as issuing a warning for women who lived alone, which doesn't seem like it happens very often.

I wish he was responsible for all of the MANY sexual assaults in this area, would make me feel very relieved at best.
There is a lot of crime here, a lot of "under the radar" murders. Very weird energy here...

This would not put him at the right age, and I know that there has been SO much speculation about the MacVicar case. It got smothered by rumours from the start.

SNIP:
"MacVicar had been sexually assaulted and stabbed. Police believe her killer was in his mid-to-late 20s, angry, volatile, likely armed, and likely didn't know MacVicar."

It wouldn't surprise me to hear about additional charges filed against this perp, including other murders in locations he has previously resided. Thankfully the women around Belleville can feel a little safer in the knowledge that the monster who had been wandering among them is now behind bars.

 

[pjgrrrl]

Gals, can I just say that this is entirely heartbreaking. I know the family, and sometimes I maybe get too involved with this stuff. It sickens me to think people are like this. It sickens me that people in an important position take advantage of it all.
I hate not being able to walk down the street at night because it's the number one street in the area for assaults.
It's sickening. I have already been sick today from this all.

 

[nursebeeme]

wow... catching this guy opened up a can of worms! (and hopefully can close a bunch of previously cold cases)

rest in peace Jessica


ETA: in the presser video I noted that at the end of the segment a reporter clarified the canvas and stated that the perp was pulled over for an unpecified yet specific reason and it was due to that interview with him that they became interested (fwiw).

Amazing that the police had been so close to R.Williams last fall, and that one of the 2 home invasions happened on Cosy Cove Lane! (according to this article). I cannot imagine how that woman is feeling now, knowing she was living so close to her attacker. (assuming Mr.Jones is talking about the 2 women who were hit, tied and photographed some time last September). I'm wondering if LE got and compared DNA from these 2 victims and Marie France Comeau of Brighton, murdered late November, and that is how they made the connection. (This is JMO, just me thinking out loud).
Would this also mean the woman that lives/lived on Cosy Cove didn't see her attacker? Was he wearing a bataclava/mask?

Jones said he's lived in the area for 42 years, the last 13 of them in the Cosy Cove Lane home he now shares with his wife, Bonnie. The road is just northeast of Tweed and south of Sulphide Road.

But sometime Sunday, Jones said, police arrived at a neighbouring home, placing plastic yellow tape around the property and going to work inside the house while wearing white suits of the kind used by forensic investigators.

That home, said Jones, belongs to Col. Russ Williams, commander of 8 Wing-CFB Trenton, Canada's largest air base.

Jones said Williams moved in about five years ago and was expected to move to a new home with his partner, Mary Elizabeth Harriman, whom Jones said works in Ottawa.

Jones said he returned home from bird hunting one day last fall to find more than a dozen police cars parked on his property.

"I thought I'd been broken into," he said.

Instead, police told him it was something "much more serious." Jones said he was taken to the Central Hastings OPP detachment in Madoc, interrogated for 3.5 hours, fingerprinted and later given a polygraph test, which he said he passed.

Jones said he was asked about two home invasions near Tweed last year, one of which happened on his road.

He said police seized computers, compact discs, DVDs, camera, his hunting knife and workboots and other items from his house. Jones said he's still waiting for the return of some possessions.

Jones said he has since been "100 per cent cleared" of any crimes.

PS: So glad though that Mr. Jones name has been 100% cleared.
