while she was taking a personal phone call

Nursing station? Curious

I certainly hope this doesn't turn out to be like the Omid Tahvili escape in BC where the guard was promised $50g to look the other way.

A bit of interesting background on what has been transpiring with Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre administration in the past few months:

[Sillybilly]

So we are curious ... what reason/excuse does one give for their unauthorized presence in a secure detention facility after having gone through so many steel gates? I was looking for the lingerie department, the washroom, the exit, the russ remover?

C'mon OCDC, tell us what they said

 

[ellabella]

I have tried to search but am having issues and am curious: What's the story with RW's wife?

Does anyone know? Is she standing by him, has she spoken about it at all? <Not saying that she should do any of these things or that she shouldn't I am just genuinely interested.

 

[Summersolstice]

Is this the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre? It looks nothing like the old Carleton County Gaol. It is, however, very close to Orleans.

Security breaches at Ontario facilities are not unheard of:

OMG, there are so many horrifying details by this victim, it is almost impossible to read. :-(



Laurie Massicotte watches the same two television programs before bed: Law & Order at 11 p.m., and Without a Trace at midnight. On that Tuesday evening last September, she followed her typical routine, curling up on the living room couch with an apple, the remote control, and one of her daughters&#8217; old Barbie blankets. Within 15 minutes, she was fast asleep. &#8220;It was a busy day,&#8221; she says now, one year later. &#8220;I spent most of it cleaning: bringing in pots from the yard, rearranging furniture in the basement. I was exhausted.&#8221;

When she woke up in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Massicotte remembers two specific things: hearing the theme song for the final credits of Without a Trace, and being smothered under her blanket as someone on the other side delivered punch after punch to her face. In those first few seconds, the 46-year-old was so disoriented and so short of breath that she assumed the house was on fire, and that thick smoke had filled her eyes and lungs. She soon realized the terrifying truth. &#8220;Shhh,&#8221; said the intruder, in between blows to the head. &#8220;I need you to be quiet.&#8221;

What transpired over the next 3½ hours was pure terror. Home alone, Massicotte was blindfolded, shackled, stripped naked with the sharp edge of a knife, and forced to pose for dozens of unthinkable photographs before the stranger in her house finally fled. Every time he ordered her to sit this way or lean that way, his threat was the same: &#8220;Don&#8217;t make me make you.&#8221;


&#8220;I thought he was going to kill me at any given moment,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It was just like a horror movie, and I didn&#8217;t know what was going to happen in the next scene.&#8221;

The scene five months later was almost as sickening. In February, two detectives from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) visited Massicotte&#8217;s home in Tweed, a small eastern Ontario town just north of Belleville. &#8220;It&#8217;s all over,&#8221; one of them told her. &#8220;We&#8217;ve caught the person who did this to you, and he has confessed.&#8221;

Three doors away, Massicotte could see yellow police tape wrapped around the property. The man who lived there&#8212;Col. Russell Williams, the 46-year-old commander of Canadian Forces Base Trenton&#8212;was already locked in a jail cell, his alleged double life finally revealed. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t comprehend any of it,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I was in total shock.&#8221;

She despises Williams, prays that he spends the rest of his life behind bars, and hopes to sue him in civil court. Yet for reasons that even she can&#8217;t explain, Massicotte says she has found it in her heart to somehow forgive him. &#8220;I can&#8217;t put it into words. It&#8217;s between me and him. He let me live.&#8221;

In fact, Massicotte saves her harshest words for the police, convinced that the cops could have done more to stop her attacker before he climbed through her window. Hours after her assault, an OPP investigator told her what is now a well-known fact. &#8220;He said: &#8216;Laurie, we have a confession to make,&#8217; &#8221; she recalls. &#8220; &#8216;Apparently, 12 days ago this same situation happened to a girl just down the road from you. We&#8217;re really sorry we didn&#8217;t get it out to the public, but I can tell you right now we&#8217;re putting out a release and it will be on tomorrow&#8217;s news.&#8217; &#8221;
For Laurie Massicotte, the OPP &#8220;safety alert&#8221; came a day too late.

On Sept. 30, Laurie Massicotte will mark a gruelling anniversary. Over the past 12 months she has battled every possible emotion, from fear to betrayal to guilt. Even now, as she shares her story for the first time, she is careful not to disrespect the other families. &#8220;I would never want to offend the Lloyds or the Comeaus by speaking about my experience,&#8221; she says. &#8220;How can those people listen to this when their daughter is dead?&#8221;

But Massicotte is a victim, too, and she says she can&#8217;t begin to heal until her story is told. She is not looking for fame or pity. If she wanted the spotlight, she could have grabbed it a long time ago, when the reporters first invaded Cosy Cove. &#8220;Getting my story out now is my way of finally facing it, regardless of what other people want to tell me about what I should be doing,&#8221; Massicotte says. &#8220;So many people want me to shut up. The Crown doesn&#8217;t want me to say a word, and the police, of course, don&#8217;t want me to go on and on about their mistakes. They have not apologized. They don&#8217;t care.&#8221;

Col. Williams has not apologized, either. He hasn&#8217;t said a single word since his arrest, and despite previous reports about a plea bargain, all signs are pointing to a long, drawn-out trial. Yet Massicotte insists that she does forgive him. &#8220;Deep down inside, I will never forget,&#8221; she says. &#8220;But forgiveness is how I am going to move on. That is the only way.&#8221;

I am so shocked reading the Mcleans article that I really can't comment. To think this SOB lived so close to me all those years.

 

[dotr]

Beyond shocking,beyond evil.
I am in awe of the courage and dignity of the survivors of that duplicitous coward.

Kudos to Macleans for an excellent article.
Thanks to Wondergirl for post.

 

[flipflop]

WOW, Im speechless, Laurie...if you are reading this site KUDOS to you for telling your story and moving on. I cannot understand why the OPP do not warn the public, you always read in articles that they don't want to panic the public. Would it not be better to warn the public, to have more watchful eyes, even if they do panic- who cares, at least they would be protecting themselves and keeping a watch on others. Shame on LE for not protecting the neighbours on Cosy Lane. No wonder the OPP want Laurie to remain quiet on this, it certainly makes them look bad. Suck it up OPP, you goofed big time!!!!!

I agree. I also think LE did some great work in the events leading up to his arrest.

LE disintegrated the drywall in the home of Comeau, looking for evidence. They did the same at Cozy Cove. That in and of itself comes from the results of recommendations from the Paul Bernardo case analysis. I think that there are certain recommendations that will come from analyzing the case of RW, to aid LE in their analysis of future investigations.

I hope they looked behind the drywall and in every nook and cranny of the Westboro home, too. It's so hard to imagine how hundreds of "souvenirs" could have been stored in any home. It would almost take a storage unit unto itself, IMO.

True enough, SS, I had only read of the 2 locations I mentioned.

We have heard zilch, zip, nada about his home on the Base, and his office at the Base. It could be argued that these may have been the "safest" places to store evidence, due to the fact that he himself controlled the entire Base, and nobody would question his authority, and there would be definitive protocol for going anywhere near his personal space in those locations.

 

[flipflop]

I still believe that he must have stored the majority of it in a home office, his wife probably respected his privacy due to the position he held in the military (i.e. top secret stuff for work) he would have had this office under lock and key and his wife would have no reason to snoop around in this office.

you may be right and also I would imagine he would have had the usual military kit boxes stored with his treasures and loot... no reason for her to search those out..

Another article today which names one of his victims, Linda Martel. She reported a break in and the police asked her to check to see if her lingerie was missing! of course it was as well as her daughter's.
