2 murders, 2 assaults, 500 stolen items of women's underwear: Canadian pilot becomes suspect

As Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip waved to the crowd after a 2005 visit, a tall, fit officer stood next to them. He saluted the royal couple, and flew them home to Britain.

Now that same elite Canadian pilot, Colonel Russell Williams, stands charged with the murder of two women, the sexual assault of two others and 82 break-ins, during which he often stole women's panties.

The charges have shocked a country, hurt soldiers' morale and prompted fears that the commander of Canada's most high-profile military base and the man who once flew Canadian prime ministers could be a serial killer.

WTH??? This is just too much weirdness on a Saturday.

I agree;(

This individual is being discussed on the thread at WS which is devoted to the disappearance of Australian scientist Lachlan Cranswick who was last seen in Deep River, Ontario on January 18.
The Websleuthers are suspicious that RW may be implicated.

If you think this is weird, take a look at one of Williams old pals, Paul Bernardo also from Canada.

Williams is an amateur compared to Bernardo. Creepy. It’s depressing to know that people can do such things. I guess they’re just psychopaths.

Clue me in here, is RW incarcerated? I know LC (Aussie) was a relative/and or family history of RW.? Was not RW always a "person of interest"? after LC's disappearance? If I remember correctly, someone posted on our thread: "one last fling"[before what], as RW was in the area.

Thanks for the Update.

Yes, RW was arrested and I seriously doubt he's eligible for bail; he's been dicussed quite a bit recently on the LC thread - the current thread in No.3 at WS; if you read the last 4 and a half or so pages, most of your questions will be answered by those avidly following this case:
