Accused killers wife devastated
Impact of charges revealed in affidavit
OTTAWA-The wife of Col. Russell Williams says she has been devastated by charges against him in connection with two sex killings, two home invasions involving sexual assaults and 82 lingerie break-ins, including 34 in Orléans.
Mary Elizabeth Harriman, 52, has not spoken publicly since her husbands arrest in February. For the first time, the impact of those charges on Harriman were revealed in an affidavit filed in a Belleville court.
The revelation of these charges has been devastating to me, Harriman said.
As a result of the charges, my previously anticipated future and financial security had become jeopardized, the affidavit said.
The affidavit is part of a $2-million lawsuit launched against Williams and his wife by one of his alleged victims on May 6.
In the statement of claim, the 21-year-old woman says she has suffered severe depression and addiction since the alleged attack. The statement of claim also says that the woman, called only Jane Doe, has had to develop psychological mechanisms in order to survive the horrors of the assault.
The statement of claim also alleges that Williams fraudulently transferred his Ottawa home to his wife to protect it from legal action. The transfer, according to documents obtained by the Citizen, was signed off by Williams on March 26.
In Harrimans statement of defence filed last week, she said the home transfer was not fraudulent and there was nothing untoward or suspicious about it. Harriman says that she entered into a domestic contract with her husband to provide her with financial security.
Williams has not yet filed his statement of defence.
The case began when Williams was asked to come in for questioning in February after a roadside check for a unique design of snow tires matched the colonels truck.
In a lengthy interview at Ottawa police headquarters, Williams allegedly directed detectives to so-called trophies at his home at 473 Edison Ave. in Westboro, including photographic images and more than 500 pairs of womens underwear taken in break-ins. Some of the evidence, according to a search warrant linked to the murders and sex assaults, included items such as photographs, thongs, bras, panties and baby blankets.
On Feb. 8, Williams allegedly led police to the body of Lloyd, who had last been seen Jan. 28.
Williams is also charged in two home-invasion sex assaults that happened within walking distance of his lakeside cottage in Tweed. In those cases, he is accused of breaking into the victims homes, tying them naked to chairs, blindfolding them, then sexually assaulting and photographing them.
