@@-Zer0Dark- that's the truth. I started shaving my head in my early thirties. if you keep on waiting, it's like you are in denial. and looks horrible. lol
They had little. A shoe print and tire marks. A good attorney would have a field day with those. But interrogator used those little to make him confess in 30 minutes.
He's a military man. He's trained to be cool and collected. Or at least appear so. It is fascinating how open and honest he is though. On first watch I interpreted it as his conscience. But I think, also, he knew he was done because he had all kinds of stuff on his hard drive. His crimes seemed like crimes of impulse which steadily escalated. If there was an iota of planning involved he wouldn't have picked women/houses that literally encircled his military base lol. It was like he wanted to get caught. And he didn't seem the genuinely sociopathic type who wanted to get caught for the infamy. He seemed like he had a genuine problem. It's something a lot of men can relate to but wouldn't admit it. Most men have dark sexual thoughts at times, and the internet is a big driver of them.
He's military. It's very unusual. Among other things, he has decided to overcome his cowardice for the greater good. He knows exactly what the investigation needs from decades of filling out reports. Most killers are civilians, and don't have that kind of training or discipline. It doesn't mean he's a good person, just he's decided to do the right thing, and his military training is a part of what makes this interrogation so compelling and weird.
I believe it’s a demon or evil spirit that pushes them to do it, like I don’t think it’s truly them. Like a month or two ago when they found that guy at an amusement park loaded with guns, he killed himself but before he wrote on the wall “I am not a killer” so I believe no body truly wants to do it and that’s it’s just something trying to live through them
@@shylow3833that sounds just like every killer's excuse for doing what they did. if they are aware enough to know they aren't controlling themselves, they would seek help or turn themselves in, but they don't say anything about that until they are caught.
@@TheMusicalStylingsofBrentBunn I can answer that: because they have rings through their noses, which are connected to their horns. Horny material doesn't evaporate.
I always think about how I'd do in these interrogations. Then, I remember, I'm not going to murder anyone. Honestly makes life so much more stress free Thank you everyone still telling me I can be falsely accused and convicted the first 200 replies weren’t enough to get that message through
I don't know, there are a couple of videos on here of people who also didn't commit crimes who were arrested and/or convicted after sloppy interrogations. If you're innocent that's all the more reason to call a lawyer instead of submitting to an interview.
Him describing the scene in the basement with the cat is perhaps one of the most chilling and terrifying things I’ve ever heard. It’s so surreal it sounds straight from a horror movie.
I bet the cat knew something wasn't right, but perhaps it didn't know whether to go and warn it's owner, or to just keep an eye on the creepy guy to make sure he didn't try anything. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to think you're home alone, safe, only to discover a man hiding in your basement.
Isn't it? A woman would never feel safe if she looked at these videos. An open window in her basement that she prob forgot about and then her cat killed her!! When he sprang out at her, that woman would have felt disbelief & terror!
This guy is a genius, he got a confession of multiple rapes and murders from an airforce colonel in just over one hour. By the time he finished he pretty much solved the case with not a single request for a lawyer. Incredible interrogation technique.
Naw, he was garbage. Total and utter garbage. A 3 year old could do a better interrogation. What he should have done was confuse him a little more. You sir need to learn what a real interrogation is.
@@ibrokeintourhouseandstoleu5453 This is in no way a justification for this detectives poor manipulation skills, he was rash, loud, uncultured and in serious need of some good old fashioned professionalism. I'm not so devoid of common sense that I can't dictate whether or not his skills in mental deterioration is biased or in this case; Just.
A moment of silence for that detectives kids. Who never got away with anything...... Ever..... All jokes aside that was a master class in interrogation
The "Call me Russ, please" at 28:25 is such an interesting moment to me... I really cant help but wonder why he said that. This man has gotten used to being adressed as Colonel by everybody, and the interogator strategically uses his name Russel as a way to deliberately strip away his confidence. It works, so, the mere use of his full, first name without honorifics is a legitimate ego-dissolver for him. And yet, in this moment, as his mind is racing and he is weighing the options he has left, he suddenly says "Call me Russ, please." Im so fascinated. Why is asking the investigator to essentially call him a friendly nickname, a valuable enough thing for him to say, that he decides to break his own silence and disrupt his thought process to do it? Is he trying to combat his nerves by connecting with Jim? Is he trying to manipulate his way out of the situation? If so, why didnt he seem to run further with it? What was going through his mind at that moment? Did he just want to say ANYTHING to break the silence? Why did he choose to say THAT then, when the entire opening of this video makes it clear that he's probably not someone who'd love to be called a nickname by an investigator UNTIL THIS MOMENT? Why didnt he just break the silence with an "I dont know"? No matter what the answer is, and what he was thinking, i think theres something interestingly human about it.
I think it was a response to the psychological torment of realizing his life was over. In that moment you need some sense of familiarity and warmth to tether you to the world. I think him asking to be called Russ was just him wanting someone to resemble a friend.
Honestly, i think i agree with you. @@_illustrate_ Jim's interrogation style (here at least) is pretty friendly. Russel is probably very aware that everyone close to him will be repulsed by him when they find out what he's done to those women, and on top of that he'll go to jail and be stripped of all accolades. But for now, Jim's there. "Yeah, sure, he's interrogating me, but he's being pretty friendly and kind about it." Its not a stretch of the imagination to think Russel may want to capitalize on that affable warmth that Jim is so willingly extending to him, and pretend they're sort-of friends for a moment. It lets him take a mental break from being in an interrogation room, and from everything that'll come after it: a fate that's completely out of his control now, but also entirely paved by his own actions, and therefore his own fault.
I know right, I think he must if thought ohh well I've been got, " which he really hadn't been got at all, the interagator lied about what evidence and the actual strength of evidence they had against him" which wasn't enough to pin these crimes on him or arrest him for, But he didn't realise any of that, So he wanted to get it all over with, He told the investigator absolutely everything, Every detail, Maybe he wanted to end his behaviour himself.
This is still the most remarkable interview of a murder suspect on youtube or anywhere else. The steady, intelligent, persistent line of questioning of such a high status individual, resulting in a full on-camera confession, has got to be something that happens once in a lifetime.
There's a reason for all of that and that is he could take the guilt anymore. He is far from a psychopath, thinks first about his wife's well-being (under extreme stress, which make it clear he didn't ask about her on purpose of being perceived better or getting a lighter sentence), he's nervous and shows signs of inner regret. Video was of course cut in a way that makes him look as bad as possible for not causing a moral dilemma, but the most terrifying thing is that, leaving what he did aside, he is a normal, intelligent person and decent person who you'd never guess for something like this. Just shows there's evil in all of us and what we do is our choice, not our fate. I don't doubt for a second he doesn't know why he did what he did.
This is a great one. I would say the Chris's Watts interview is on par with this; yes Watts was not a high profile individual, but the case certainly was. In both cases, skilled interviewers broke the deadlock
Don't agree. Williams was given a choice. Confess. Or we toss your house where Wlliams knew they would find the evidence to convict him. To spare his wife he confessed. Any detective could have got that confession.
Exactly lol, idk about Canada laws, but homie should’ve just asked for a lawyer and not answer anything 😭I don’t agree with him but like dude come on 😂
@@LexieEclectic I feel like the timestamps in the video are usually correct, so the interrogation most likely just went on for another 9 hours if what you say is true and they were there for 10 hours
He told his wife he'd be back for dinner and just over an hour later she gets a call letting her know that her husband is under arrest for being a serial rapist/murderer. That's got to be a mood killer.
35:45 this is the first time you see the detective freak out. Russell tells this really intense story about the cat staring and then looks detective in the eye. Detective is like, holy fuck, and has to take a sip of his drink.
I have a crappy job and live in a crappy Apt. I could never understand how someone with a great job a house and a summer house could give it all away to harm others? I would do anything to save a stranger!
Yeah, the only reference people have of interrogations of this size are from films, where they have to fit everything into a 5-minute scene. However, I've also seen other interrogations, and whilst they're all quite impressive, this interrogator trumps all the others. In fact, I have definitely seen him in another interrogation where he is just as impressive.
wow. that is a serious skill to be able to tell a person that they can 'walk out of here whenever they want, totally don't have to say anything and have the right to legal counsel'... and a short while later, got them willingly confessing to murders!! incredible
ice la honk not really williams pretty much confessed once he knew he was caught to minimize the damage on his wife he was a gift for the interegator really,made him look very good.
ice la honk lot of it seems to also be posturing too. Like, “Hey, you can leave, quitter, but there’s no shame in quitting. You can stay, or go, it’s all up to you.”
I can't imagine the rush of adrenaline a detective must get after hearing a simple phrase like "got a map?" when they've finally broken a suspect down enough to confess. It has to take nerves of steel for his hands not to shake handling the binder to get what he needs out for him to give up that crucial information.
That won't fix further serial killers / serial rapist ... we have to change and adapt society so we fix these kinds of behaviors. Im a optimist, we can fix things for the better of mankind ;). Hopefully so. To prevent these we must study the whole lifetime of these people so we can prevent such things happening from now on, I think it might be a good field of study for future jobs, good thing don't you think? because just hoping hell for someone who already committed these acts won't help any further.
@@athlonz2007 I believe psycho or socio-pathology isn't a "nurtured" trait, it is instrinsic to a certain % of the population and you cannot fix this naturally occuring phenomenon, you can only put measures to prevent the potential damage.
Maxime Boivin From what I’ve read psychopathy is nature, born into it. Their brains work differently. Sociopathy is nurture, it is something made by trauma. There’s a quote “Psychopaths are bred, sociopaths are made” or something along those lines
@@dingdong1456 oh no in the US they literally IQ test all incoming police officers and if you score high you are not allowed on. they admit to this openly and claim it is because they worry high IQ people will get bored and quit after undergoing costly training. LMAO
Yea cause I’m not gon lie he had a good chance if he just got a lawyer. He walked in the station ready to confess detective could’ve just looked at him for an hour.
I've met military guys and police officers whose common sense were NOT there at all. It always made me wonder how the hell he/she were able to be soldiers/cops. As far as the soldier goes, someone told me.... Well everyone needs pawns. He was probably a pawn who's friends all died around him so there was no one to promote but him. Never forgot how cool that sounded lol.
One of the many things that stands out to me in this interrogation is his description of Corporal Marie-France Comeau’s murder. How absolutely terrifying for her. She’s in her home trying to coax her cat out of the basement one night. The cat is fixated on something and won’t move. Marie comes downstairs, notices the cat is staring at something, goes closer and sees a man with a torch hiding in the corner, who then attacks her and ties her up. That is horror movie-level terror. Glad this monster is locked away. RIP Marie-France.
he is so disconnected to the terror he inflicted on his victims. He actually slept with a bound victim next to him in the bed. These poor women went through hell and then he disposed of them like throwing trash in a bin.
@@pikachupowers i think it depends on the prison in question and whether or not the criminal in question will make friends once there, but i feel like life in supermax without parole and plenty of solitary is far greater punishment than death, which would relieve him of any consequences
I've seen this before but I rewatched a bunch of your videos because they are so well done. Just have to say this is one of the best detectives, as far as his entire interrogation process, that I've seen in an interrogation video.
If you watch very carefully, you will see that the interviewer began mirroring the pervert’s posture. He waited a long time before beginning to do this, and eventually did so twice. Then he changed his posture completely to one that neither had used: a contemplative stance. Almost immediately the sick pervert EACTLY MIRRORED HIM!!! That was the moment the investigator turned the game, and the pervert decided it had no way out. In truth of course the investigator had bluffed about the strength and value of the tyre and footprint evidence, as well as the DNA from the first victim. Plus, they had no idea where the second victim’s body was. Had he lawyered up and said nothing, there was at that point insufficient evidence to convict. It convinced itself it was over, and convicted itself in it’s head! But it wasn’t very smart. It hunted in its own back yard. It had some very odd, very prolific trophy perversions. It kept evidence that would have linked it to the crimes. Despite all its evil depravity, the pervert had several weaknesses. One was it’s dependence upon its wife. It needed her on side for what it imagined would be the next stage. For some reason, this was the most disturbing case. The confessions offer NO real explanation for the real motives. Those desire/revenge/hate questions are inconclusive. The investigator is a genius. He saved lives for sure. The revelations at the end about entering children’s bedrooms suggests the direction the crime spree could have gone had it not been stopped. Excellent work.
This all may have never come to light if it wasn't for the one guy who came forward with a hunch about that vehicle he miraculously remembered seeing parked in the field near her house.
You would be surprised how many killers are caught by pure chance, the only reason Dahmer was caught was because he used a different brand of handcuffs than the police. Tracy Edwards didnt originally want to press charges, he just wanted to go home but since the police could not remove the cuffs they went back to Dahmers apartment and since Dahmer did not know where he put the key as he would remove the cuffs by chopping off his victims hands, the police forced their way inside to search.
@@lowhp_comic After way too many murders. All the reasons that made it possible for him being stopped right now seem like luck. His potential next victim, which we'll never know is a very lucky person
i can only imagine the sheer terror of checking your basement on what would be a normal day only to see a figure lurking in the corner, what an absolute monster.
Agree, absolute worst nightmare. I just wanted to also comment re yt police shutting this channel down 8 months ago. Can't believe it. I found the missing end part of this interview on CBC news channel so how do they get to post explicit material but this channel gets taken down?
@@ksc743 jcs is sort of about how these people are people, and how they react to these extreme situations. meanwhile youtube encourages exploitative and sensationalized entries in the same genre with channels like explore with us.

Why else would they do this to him. I'm a sensitive soul (but not where murderers are concerned) and never found any of his content offensive.
I'm never going to be able to forget that the reason this happened is because he "saw her in her house". A day later he was in her home. The day after that she was dead. She had done nothing wrong, they'd never met, she was just in her home. She was just living and someone saw her, and that was what led to her death. I can't fathom how truly awful this is.

@@Halal_Dan Brother, what you are doing is victim blaming. It's a flawed rationalisation, one that mustn't be encouraged. You shift the blame from the perpetrator to the victim, voiding responsibility to the transgressor. The victim was in her own home, where crime is low, how could she possibly anticipate a psycho coming into her home and strangling her? It's just implausible to take into account of someone coming into your home and killing you, because these things are left to circumstances outside of our control. Just like how you'll never anticipate your own death until near the hour. There's nothing this person could have done to anticipate this and therefore not live by herself as you say to afford her the safety you propose. Even if she had someone, whose to say he wouldn't have waited for an opportunity to make sure she was alone or that the murderer kills the husband? If you're that paranoid in life, you may as well lock yourself up in an underground bunker for the rest of your life... Even then you never know. You see my point? Maybe the person you were replying to was harsh in their wording, and I get what you're saying, it just comes across as callous and unnecessary. Maybe your cadence was lost on me through being only text, so you probably meant well, idk.
Sad, if she had three trained to bite and kill suspects with three big German Shepherds she would be alive today. The trained German Shepherds after biting the suspect in the face and arms and legs would give police his DNA. If he went to a hospital to treat the dog bites. Then the hospital would then have his DNA that he left in the victim's house. This would have meant ; No alibi. Now he is where he belongs in prison. Other big BUBA'S are enjoying seeing him dance around in women's under wear.
This was an absolute masterclass by Sgt Smyth. I was polite professional and fact based. He played Russell like a fiddle. This is impressive ai that Russell was a senior military officer who had to be trained to dodge interrogation questions. However, Russell did not help himself by showing up to the interview in the same shoes and the same truck he used in the crimes
Russell was ready to confess the moment he sat down lol. He gave no resistance whatsoever and didn't lie about anything or evade anything. He also knew he was cooked because his hard drive was full of massively incriminating evidence, as well as DNA evidence and God knows what else. He made no effort to conceal his tracks. His crimes were clearly impulse crimes and he seemed to know he had a problem. The interrogator was good but it was a layup.
It's crazy how the investigators always use the same BS "I'm your friend, it's beyond my control, I need your confession to help you, blah-blah" and it actually works waaay more often than not.
This man honestly scares me. Seeing how calm he is while confessing to brutally murdering/violating these women is chilling. Wow. My heart goes out to his victims and their families.
@Tracy Howard-Allison your missing the most craziest part, that lady that he worked with once. He knew from the first time he seen her he was going to kill her. Let that sink in.
Former law enforcement officer here: The detective's phrasing of "your vehicle drove up to the side of the house" and "your boots walked up to the back of the house" was brilliant. Not a direct accusation but leading to the only logical conclusion that he was guilty.
I’ve watched a lot of these, and it never gets old. The slow build up to the direct confrontation. Any innocent person would immediately deny and get upset being accused like that, but I’ve seen time and time again that most of the guilty people just casually respond. Like you literally just got accused of murder that also goes directly against your alibi and you have almost no reaction? Lol
best question he asked was, "inside or outside?" which he can immediately ascertain that either she's still alive and kidnapped, or he murdered her. Basically that question hammered the final nail in his confession.
Lord almighty I can’t even fathom the fear those girls felt.. I hope this guy receives some good “prison justice.” The fact he doesn’t have to feel the fear and pain his victims felt just isn’t not fair 😡
He tried to kill himself by stuffing a toilet paper roll in his throat after writing a suicide "letter" in mustard on his cell wall. He's not doing so good.
Just like you said, he certainly will in prison. He’s got that baby face and cowardly demeanor despite being in the military… don’t worry Bubba will fit him into the schedule 😉
Never heard of him. I can't find anything about him on Google. Even the narrator says he wasn't a world renowned expert. He just printed off the copies.
Whoever is the narrator on this video is the greatest. I could sincerely listen to you listing out the ingredients to Cocoa Puffs and I would be in bliss. Love the work!
I see what you’re trying to say, but you should always ask for a lawyer if you’re ever called in for questioning. Police and detectives will always try to make it sound like it’s suspicious to ask for them whether you’re innocent or not
imho not really that smart, "since i haven't done anything wrong i would need a lawyer to tell me how to proceed from there, specially if i might get accused of something i didn't do" would be more than enough to brush off a sentence like that
I think I speak for the whole JCS fan base when I say I would love to see an episode on Paul Bernardo. It would be so interesting to see your takes on it
Thank you so much! I watched the interrogation without commentary...and had an extremely difficult time understanding exactly who he is, what the crimes were and how he was caught.
The reason that occurred is because the detective actually did a really good job of not directly naming the crimes. He would say things like missing people, the situation at hand, these situations, etc. The reason that is useful is it tries to avoid priming the other person's mind with all the expected negative connotations of heinous crimes. It makes it almost feel like the detective is asking him to admit to a much lesser crime. You get the sense the crime is incredibly serious. At the same time, there are moments where the detective almost makes it sound like he is just asking for him to admit to stealing some candy and his reputation is all that is at stake.
"Wanna know anything in particular?" That was creepy... it's like when a normal person gives up trying to keep a secret and can't be bothered anymore, except this is a 'person' who is also a detached murderer.
Yeah man I literally paused the video and took a 10 minute break. Maybe it’s just projecting my own disgust on the interrogator, but I could have sworn he “broke character” and was taken aback by that question as well (shown in how he asked the question directly after Russel’s creepy question). What a sick fuck
Yeah. That moment he showed in true colors the psycopath inside him for the frist time to another person that not his victims. He was hoping to do this more times before being caught but was eager to describe everything and confess. Since the beginning he nodded yes to the investigator, because his mind was far away and couldnt think of denying but processing that was it, the time had come to confess.
Everyone saying detached but I see a lot of emotion in him. He’s clearly ashamed of his actions. He’s looking down and sounds and knows he did something wrong. He probably just thinks that he’s already caught and at least has honor in him to “do the right thing”.
@@joii_j No, it's after the "crossroads" moment during the interrogation. Notice his behavior prior to the examination of his boots. He is arrogant and relaxed; yet, any possible anxiety seemed to tell on him by the way he chewed his gum. After the examination his breathing pattern is different, more strained; he begins to sigh periodically; his arms are crossed; his posture is more rigid and stressed; I think he must have swallowed the aforementioned gum...sighhhhhhh
@@mgal6234 Definitely relieved, he probably had so much anxiety and racing thoughts about thinking of excuses, the fact that he can just tell the truth now is a weight of his shoulders.
@@virces6563 I disagree, let's assess your opinion.

So, Hollywood disagrees, too.
This is the same detective who did the interrogation of a men (Who was a child molester )& a women that lured a beautiful little girl to their car thinking she was getting a puppy , but they kidnapped & murder her ! He found her remains ! This detective is great at what he do & should not be played with!!!
The fact that he said multiple times that he could speak with a lawyer and even said "would you like to speak with a lawyer?" And was still able to coax a confession. This is how things should work
the guy who drove past the house and saw the suv probably didn’t think much of it and was debating contacting police due to it being such a small amount of potential irrelevant information, but this shows how something small like seeing a car at 3 am can be so important.
Yes im gonna start calling the cops everytime i see a car parked somewhere where i havent seen it being parked before. Perfect use of police resources. Yes officer there is a car parked here, you better come quick something might be going on, maybe.
Nomen Nescio did you watch the video? he called the police after that person went missing *the same night* he saw the car there. Very good use of police resources as he would have went on to kill more women
@@Fireball006 In this case yes, which is a 1 in a billion chance that something like that is going on just because you seen a parked car.

Nomen Nescio don’t know how you brought race into this but when you hear that someone is missing and you seen a car by their house the night they went missing then yes call the police I’m not saying call the police if you see a car i’m saying if you have some info that can might help save someone life then go and call the police
They are amazing eh? Imagine when they start getting the tell tale signs that this person is a psychotic murderer... just gotta sit there all gangster still.
He was worried when she was having a seizure she was going to bite her tongue. So he made sure she didnt. Then he caved her skull in with a flashlight. Makes sense....
Even complete psychopaths learn the ability to respond palliatively to a health crisis, even if the bigger health crisis is the psychopath themselves. Williams was a conscientious man without a conscience. That’s part of what makes him fascinating from a purely criminological standpoint. I’ve no doubt that he responded to the seizure as any attentive person would, but deep inside he likely viewed it as nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
I keep thinking that when Marie-France first saw her CO in the basement, she must have wondered what he was doing there. I wonder at point she thought she was going to die. It is a tragic case. One cannot imagine the fear she went through - the anguish, the mental torture, not to mention the physical violations of her body. Nobody can imagine the suffering that poor woman went through. It really is hard to imagine how a person can do this to another person.
The whole scenario with the cat staring at his is something straight out of a nightmare. Imagine going to your basement and noticing your cat staring into the dark corner and looking to see a man there then having him attack you.. terrifying.
That fact has haunted me ever since I first learned it. For some reason, it was the most chilling thing in his interrogation and I’ve watched the entire thing (not just the edited version)
Same. I can’t stop thinking about it. The cat was trying to help the owner, but cats just don’t roll like dogs. This is when you need a Belgian Malinois.
I’ve never read Stephen king but that detail about the cat coupled with the killer himself sharing it so matter-of-factly, that I imagine is scarier than anything Stephen King has ever or could ever write. So incredibly pedestrian, so normal, something that would unsettle you a little but 99.999% of the time it would ultimately amount to nothing and so you wouldn’t be prepared for what really came next. Just awful.

It is fascinating how open and honest he is though. On first watch I interpreted it as his conscience. But I think, also, he knew he was done because he had all kinds of stuff on his hard drive. His crimes seemed like crimes of impulse which steadily escalated. If there was an iota of planning involved he wouldn't have picked women/houses that literally encircled his military base lol. It was like he wanted to get caught. And he didn't seem the genuinely sociopathic type who wanted to get caught for the infamy. He seemed like he had a genuine problem.
It's something a lot of men can relate to but wouldn't admit it. Most men have dark sexual thoughts at times, and the internet is a big driver of them.
He's military. It's very unusual. Among other things, he has decided to overcome his cowardice for the greater good. He knows exactly what the investigation needs from decades of filling out reports. Most killers are civilians, and don't have that kind of training or discipline. It doesn't mean he's a good person, just he's decided to do the right thing, and his military training is a part of what makes this interrogation so compelling and weird.
I believe it’s a demon or evil spirit that pushes them to do it, like I don’t think it’s truly them. Like a month or two ago when they found that guy at an amusement park loaded with guns, he killed himself but before he wrote on the wall “I am not a killer” so I believe no body truly wants to do it and that’s it’s just something trying to live through them
thats dumb@@shylow3833
@@shylow3833that sounds just like every killer's excuse for doing what they did. if they are aware enough to know they aren't controlling themselves, they would seek help or turn themselves in, but they don't say anything about that until they are caught.

Him describing the scene in the basement with the cat is perhaps one of the most chilling and terrifying things I’ve ever heard. It’s so surreal it sounds straight from a horror movie.
Seriously, nightmare fuel
I bet the cat knew something wasn't right, but perhaps it didn't know whether to go and warn it's owner, or to just keep an eye on the creepy guy to make sure he didn't try anything. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to think you're home alone, safe, only to discover a man hiding in your basement.
Isn't it? A woman would never feel safe if she looked at these videos. An open window in her basement that she prob forgot about and then her cat killed her!!
When he sprang out at her, that woman would have felt disbelief & terror!
I watched this video 4 years ago, and that scene never left my head.

A moment of silence for that detectives kids. Who never got away with anything...... Ever.....
All jokes aside that was a master class in interrogation
“We know you took the cookies out of the jar. Your window of believability is slipping away..”
The "Call me Russ, please" at 28:25 is such an interesting moment to me... I really cant help but wonder why he said that. This man has gotten used to being adressed as Colonel by everybody, and the interogator strategically uses his name Russel as a way to deliberately strip away his confidence. It works, so, the mere use of his full, first name without honorifics is a legitimate ego-dissolver for him. And yet, in this moment, as his mind is racing and he is weighing the options he has left, he suddenly says "Call me Russ, please." Im so fascinated. Why is asking the investigator to essentially call him a friendly nickname, a valuable enough thing for him to say, that he decides to break his own silence and disrupt his thought process to do it? Is he trying to combat his nerves by connecting with Jim? Is he trying to manipulate his way out of the situation? If so, why didnt he seem to run further with it? What was going through his mind at that moment? Did he just want to say ANYTHING to break the silence? Why did he choose to say THAT then, when the entire opening of this video makes it clear that he's probably not someone who'd love to be called a nickname by an investigator UNTIL THIS MOMENT? Why didnt he just break the silence with an "I dont know"?
No matter what the answer is, and what he was thinking, i think theres something interestingly human about it.
I think it was a response to the psychological torment of realizing his life was over. In that moment you need some sense of familiarity and warmth to tether you to the world. I think him asking to be called Russ was just him wanting someone to resemble a friend.
Honestly, i think i agree with you. @@_illustrate_ Jim's interrogation style (here at least) is pretty friendly. Russel is probably very aware that everyone close to him will be repulsed by him when they find out what he's done to those women, and on top of that he'll go to jail and be stripped of all accolades. But for now, Jim's there. "Yeah, sure, he's interrogating me, but he's being pretty friendly and kind about it." Its not a stretch of the imagination to think Russel may want to capitalize on that affable warmth that Jim is so willingly extending to him, and pretend they're sort-of friends for a moment. It lets him take a mental break from being in an interrogation room, and from everything that'll come after it: a fate that's completely out of his control now, but also entirely paved by his own actions, and therefore his own fault.
@@Bean-hz8jo agreed
Maybe it was a plea for mercy. Which he didn’t give the women and which he didn’t deserve.

He was trained to respond, always respond. He wasn't trained to think. Thats how this interview went south so fast
@@braxma12 i was thinking the same thing
Seems proud of it
I know right,
I think he must if thought ohh well I've been got, " which he really hadn't been got at all, the interagator lied about what evidence and the actual strength of evidence they had against him" which wasn't enough to pin these crimes on him or arrest him for,
But he didn't realise any of that, So he wanted to get it all over with, He told the investigator absolutely everything, Every detail, Maybe he wanted to end his behaviour himself.
This is still the most remarkable interview of a murder suspect on youtube or anywhere else. The steady, intelligent, persistent line of questioning of such a high status individual, resulting in a full on-camera confession, has got to be something that happens once in a lifetime.
There's a reason for all of that and that is he could take the guilt anymore. He is far from a psychopath, thinks first about his wife's well-being (under extreme stress, which make it clear he didn't ask about her on purpose of being perceived better or getting a lighter sentence), he's nervous and shows signs of inner regret. Video was of course cut in a way that makes him look as bad as possible for not causing a moral dilemma, but the most terrifying thing is that, leaving what he did aside, he is a normal, intelligent person and decent person who you'd never guess for something like this. Just shows there's evil in all of us and what we do is our choice, not our fate. I don't doubt for a second he doesn't know why he did what he did.
This is a great one. I would say the Chris's Watts interview is on par with this; yes Watts was not a high profile individual, but the case certainly was.
In both cases, skilled interviewers broke the deadlock
Don't agree. Williams was given a choice. Confess. Or we toss your house where Wlliams knew they would find the evidence to convict him. To spare his wife he confessed. Any detective could have got that confession.

@@M15CH13F How was it pointless? They had basically nothing on him before he started talking.

Never forgot how cool that sounded lol.
I think when he said "it's getting out of control " really resonated with the suspect, because his actions had gotten out of control.
One of the many things that stands out to me in this interrogation is his description of Corporal Marie-France Comeau’s murder. How absolutely terrifying for her. She’s in her home trying to coax her cat out of the basement one night. The cat is fixated on something and won’t move. Marie comes downstairs, notices the cat is staring at something, goes closer and sees a man with a torch hiding in the corner, who then attacks her and ties her up. That is horror movie-level terror. Glad this monster is locked away. RIP Marie-France.

it caught me off guard when he said "got a map?"
bruh
Yeah that was a kick the nuts I was like “OH SHIT!”
If you watch very carefully, you will see that the interviewer began mirroring the pervert’s posture. He waited a long time before beginning to do this, and eventually did so twice. Then he changed his posture completely to one that neither had used: a contemplative stance.
Almost immediately the sick pervert EACTLY MIRRORED HIM!!!
That was the moment the investigator turned the game, and the pervert decided it had no way out.
In truth of course the investigator had bluffed about the strength and value of the tyre and footprint evidence, as well as the DNA from the first victim. Plus, they had no idea where the second victim’s body was. Had he lawyered up and said nothing, there was at that point insufficient evidence to convict. It convinced itself it was over, and convicted itself in it’s head!
But it wasn’t very smart. It hunted in its own back yard. It had some very odd, very prolific trophy perversions. It kept evidence that would have linked it to the crimes.
Despite all its evil depravity, the pervert had several weaknesses. One was it’s dependence upon its wife. It needed her on side for what it imagined would be the next stage.
For some reason, this was the most disturbing case. The confessions offer NO real explanation for the real motives. Those desire/revenge/hate questions are inconclusive.
The investigator is a genius. He saved lives for sure. The revelations at the end about entering children’s bedrooms suggests the direction the crime spree could have gone had it not been stopped. Excellent work.

This all may have never come to light if it wasn't for the one guy who came forward with a hunch about that vehicle he miraculously remembered seeing parked in the field near her house.
You would be surprised how many killers are caught by pure chance, the only reason Dahmer was caught was because he used a different brand of handcuffs than the police. Tracy Edwards didnt originally want to press charges, he just wanted to go home but since the police could not remove the cuffs they went back to Dahmers apartment and since Dahmer did not know where he put the key as he would remove the cuffs by chopping off his victims hands, the police forced their way inside to search.

@@Halal_Dan Brother, what you are doing is victim blaming. It's a flawed rationalisation, one that mustn't be encouraged. You shift the blame from the perpetrator to the victim, voiding responsibility to the transgressor.
The victim was in her own home, where crime is low, how could she possibly anticipate a psycho coming into her home and strangling her? It's just implausible to take into account of someone coming into your home and killing you, because these things are left to circumstances outside of our control. Just like how you'll never anticipate your own death until near the hour. There's nothing this person could have done to anticipate this and therefore not live by herself as you say to afford her the safety you propose.
Even if she had someone, whose to say he wouldn't have waited for an opportunity to make sure she was alone or that the murderer kills the husband? If you're that paranoid in life, you may as well lock yourself up in an underground bunker for the rest of your life... Even then you never know. You see my point?
Maybe the person you were replying to was harsh in their wording, and I get what you're saying, it just comes across as callous and unnecessary. Maybe your cadence was lost on me through being only text, so you probably meant well, idk.
Sad, if she had three trained to bite and kill suspects with three big German Shepherds she would be alive today. The trained German Shepherds after biting the suspect in the face and arms and legs would give police his DNA. If he went to a hospital to treat the dog bites. Then the hospital would then have his DNA that he left in the victim's house. This would have meant ; No alibi. Now he is where he belongs in prison. Other big BUBA'S are enjoying seeing him dance around in women's under wear.

This was an absolute masterclass by Sgt Smyth. I was polite professional and fact based. He played Russell like a fiddle. This is impressive ai that Russell was a senior military officer who had to be trained to dodge interrogation questions. However, Russell did not help himself by showing up to the interview in the same shoes and the same truck he used in the crimes
And the whole not asking for a lawyer once they started pressing him, and then guilty silence thing 😂
Russell was ready to confess the moment he sat down lol. He gave no resistance whatsoever and didn't lie about anything or evade anything. He also knew he was cooked because his hard drive was full of massively incriminating evidence, as well as DNA evidence and God knows what else. He made no effort to conceal his tracks. His crimes were clearly impulse crimes and he seemed to know he had a problem.

@@angelnumber2002 Yeah flying planes es for the queen he sure knows about war casualties
Remember being a child and being scared of monsters? This guy is definitely one of them. There's nothing scarier than a psychotic human.
Former law enforcement officer here: The detective's phrasing of "your vehicle drove up to the side of the house" and "your boots walked up to the back of the house" was brilliant. Not a direct accusation but leading to the only logical conclusion that he was guilty.
You might enjoy Jim Smyth on the behaviour panel 👍
True. Very little details but still important. He really did a perfect job here.
I’ve watched a lot of these, and it never gets old. The slow build up to the direct confrontation. Any innocent person would immediately deny and get upset being accused like that, but I’ve seen time and time again that most of the guilty people just casually respond. Like you literally just got accused of murder that also goes directly against your alibi and you have almost no reaction? Lol
Yeah, gotta make sure to keep clarifying "alleged car/boots/etc"
best question he asked was, "inside or outside?" which he can immediately ascertain that either she's still alive and kidnapped, or he murdered her. Basically that question hammered the final nail in his confession.
Lord almighty I can’t even fathom the fear those girls felt.. I hope this guy receives some good “prison justice.” The fact he doesn’t have to feel the fear and pain his victims felt just isn’t not fair 😡
He tried to kill himself by stuffing a toilet paper roll in his throat after writing a suicide "letter" in mustard on his cell wall. He's not doing so good.
Just like you said, he certainly will in prison. He’s got that baby face and cowardly demeanor despite being in the military… don’t worry Bubba will fit him into the schedule 😉
@@jmfl620 Look at his crimes, he'll probably enjoy it
People who go to prison on skin beefs definitely feel fear.
We need part 2 right away!😮
If it wasn't for world-renowned forensic expert John Norman, this guy would still be out running free.
His work in the Nike Necrophile case of 1997 is epic
gotta love john norman.
Never heard of him. I can't find anything about him on Google. Even the narrator says he wasn't a world renowned expert. He just printed off the copies.
Good Boy Buddy ...that’s the joke. The detective was bluffing.
@@RuminatingWizard LOL. Exactly
The detective did a number on the Williams. Bullshited his way to a confession in barely an hour.
I can't even imagine the stress and anxiety taken off Jim's shoulders when he heard the words "Got a map?" I mean. You got him. Amazing work.
I don't think I would have been able to resist doing a big fist pump at that point.
Closure for the families of the victims
The detective played it so cool to keep him talking. "Let me see what I got here, I might have something," like it's no big deal.
all in less than an hour
Hope he got a fat bonus and a raise
Im so glad this video is back.
Whoever is the narrator on this video is the greatest. I could sincerely listen to you listing out the ingredients to Cocoa Puffs and I would be in bliss.
Love the work!
Yeah. We all miss him and his voice. His channel is … Kizzume
"Is there any reason you want to see a lawyer now ?" Such a clever way to put it
only just clicked how smart that is
I see what you’re trying to say, but you should always ask for a lawyer if you’re ever called in for questioning. Police and detectives will always try to make it sound like it’s suspicious to ask for them whether you’re innocent or not
@@phoenixfeatherr yeah true that but in this case its very fortunate he didnt
imho not really that smart, "since i haven't done anything wrong i would need a lawyer to tell me how to proceed from there, specially if i might get accused of something i didn't do" would be more than enough to brush off a sentence like that
Hows Ray doin these days rick?
It’s so bizarre how much he cares about his wife’s feelings, but not the women he kidnapped, brutally raped, and murdered.
Seems to be a common theme with married serial killers.
He has no empathy for them because they arent important to him or his life, it's basically empathetic narcissism if that's a thing
Not a man
Right? It's presumed that psychopaths feel no empathy or remorse yet he conveyed that for his wife...
But also how much could he really care about his wife... if he actually wanted her not to suffer he wouldn’t of done that crap. He needs to fry.
I think I speak for the whole JCS fan base when I say I would love to see an episode on Paul Bernardo. It would be so interesting to see your takes on it
Thank you so much! I watched the interrogation without commentary...and had an extremely difficult time understanding exactly who he is, what the crimes were and how he was caught.
The reason that occurred is because the detective actually did a really good job of not directly naming the crimes. He would say things like missing people, the situation at hand, these situations, etc. The reason that is useful is it tries to avoid priming the other person's mind with all the expected negative connotations of heinous crimes. It makes it almost feel like the detective is asking him to admit to a much lesser crime.
You get the sense the crime is incredibly serious. At the same time, there are moments where the detective almost makes it sound like he is just asking for him to admit to stealing some candy and his reputation is all that is at stake.
You can thank the man driving home from work that noticed his suv parked in an unusual manner this man knew something was wrong here!
I know! It's incredibly lucky he noticed it. More women would have been harmed if this guy hadn't been caught.
They probably would have searched the surrounding area of her home.
Warmgun Warmgun if he would have stopped by to make sure things where okay he could have saved a life
Mikey Tello ......yes if only he had a look around he may of saved her.
@@mikeytello2878 You mean, if the murderer didnt kill her she would still be alive? dont put that on an innocent bystander.
"Wanna know anything in particular?"
That was creepy... it's like when a normal person gives up trying to keep a secret and can't be bothered anymore, except this is a 'person' who is also a detached murderer.
Yeah man I literally paused the video and took a 10 minute break. Maybe it’s just projecting my own disgust on the interrogator, but I could have sworn he “broke character” and was taken aback by that question as well (shown in how he asked the question directly after Russel’s creepy question). What a sick fuck
BollywoodBonanzaB I was thinking the same think like he had the audacity
Yeah. That moment he showed in true colors the psycopath inside him for the frist time to another person that not his victims. He was hoping to do this more times before being caught but was eager to describe everything and confess. Since the beginning he nodded yes to the investigator, because his mind was far away and couldnt think of denying but processing that was it, the time had come to confess.
Everyone saying detached but I see a lot of emotion in him. He’s clearly ashamed of his actions. He’s looking down and sounds and knows he did something wrong. He probably just thinks that he’s already caught and at least has honor in him to “do the right thing”.
Right. Like I just made lentils. It’s an easy recipe. Want it?
Kudos to the detective involved here, very masterfly done sir👍
Definitely my favorite interrogation. It's chilling when he knows he's trapped and asks "got a map?"....
Michael Saunier I concur! VERY CHILLING!!
No, it's when he says "Call me Russ" lol🤣
He almost seemed relieved or is it just me?
@@joii_j No, it's after the "crossroads" moment during the interrogation. Notice his behavior prior to the examination of his boots. He is arrogant and relaxed; yet, any possible anxiety seemed to tell on him by the way he chewed his gum. After the examination his breathing pattern is different, more strained; he begins to sigh periodically; his arms are crossed; his posture is more rigid and stressed; I think he must have swallowed the aforementioned gum...sighhhhhhh
@@mgal6234 Definitely relieved, he probably had so much anxiety and racing thoughts about thinking of excuses, the fact that he can just tell the truth now is a weight of his shoulders.
Alright, this channel is literally the most perfect thing I’ve ever come across
I literally have to agree
It’s forensic psychology fyi. You can’t study Jim Can’t Swimology yet.
Hello Clarisse.
I agree!
@@MisyeDiVre This comment deserves way more thumbs up lmao
That gum he’s chewing should be considered a victim as well. Christ.
😂😅
Yeah this is the best channel amongst all!! I hope you make a new one soon
Woody Harrelson would play this guy perfectly.
Thought of woody harrelson too
Wayne Urquhart dude just go post some joke about being an Apache helicopter and go somewhere else this was so irrelevant and dumb
not everything has to be a film
@@virces6563 I disagree, let's assess your opinion. "Dahmer" & "My Friend Dahmer" portraying, obviously, Jeffrey Dahmer; "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" follows Ted Bundy; Norman Bates was inspired by Ed Gein and has a couple versions since Hitchcock's "Psycho". So, Hollywood disagrees, too.
I believe the podcast small-town dicks did a pretty good cover of this too, one of their creators is a local police officer
Your content never fails Jim
*Ego up technique
Learning, you are.
Master, you will
Lmaooooooo
My "like" on this comment is number 665.
I bequeath the satanic honors to whoever's in line behind me.
McNulty's Sober Companion I was like 667, poor bastard...
This is the same detective who did the interrogation of a men
(Who was a child molester )& a women that lured a beautiful little girl to their car thinking she was getting a puppy , but they kidnapped & murder her ! He found her remains ! This detective is great at what he do & should not be played with!!!
Damn, these Canadian cops are professional as hell.
Just thinking that
This guy is great. There is another video of him on this channel playing the bad cop role in the Michael Rafferty case
Anyone will know who has been through police training in Canada. Jim is the GOD of interrigation
Canada has very high standards.
The fact that he said multiple times that he could speak with a lawyer and even said "would you like to speak with a lawyer?" And was still able to coax a confession. This is how things should work
the guy who drove past the house and saw the suv probably didn’t think much of it and was debating contacting police due to it being such a small amount of potential irrelevant information, but this shows how something small like seeing a car at 3 am can be so important.
Yes im gonna start calling the cops everytime i see a car parked somewhere where i havent seen it being parked before. Perfect use of police resources. Yes officer there is a car parked here, you better come quick something might be going on, maybe.
That got petty fast ^^^^^ 😯
Nomen Nescio did you watch the video? he called the police after that person went missing *the same night* he saw the car there. Very good use of police resources as he would have went on to kill more women
@@Fireball006 In this case yes, which is a 1 in a billion chance that something like that is going on just because you seen a parked car. Imagine if people called the cops everytime they saw a parked car somewhere. White people should stop calling the cops literally all day fucking long just because "something might be going on".
Nomen Nescio don’t know how you brought race into this but when you hear that someone is missing and you seen a car by their house the night they went missing then yes call the police
I’m not saying call the police if you see a car i’m saying if you have some info that can might help save someone life then go and call the police
That little tuft of hair in the front is the real crime here.
We're all headed that way brother, unless we die young
IT’S A RARE FORM OF MALE PATTERN BALDNESS, YA FOOL!
@@groinBlaster31hell nah man I’m either shaving it or going to turkey. Can’t play this game right here
He’s guilty already bc of that hair I’m sorry but that’s a crime in itself 🤦🏻♀️

The interrogator is incredibly skilled. Damn...... He comes across as trusting and gentle.
He was a car salesmen before.
He's not going to go ham on a guy like this.
Mental chess
They are amazing eh? Imagine when they start getting the tell tale signs that this person is a psychotic murderer... just gotta sit there all gangster still.

He was worried when she was having a seizure she was going to bite her tongue. So he made sure she didnt. Then he caved her skull in with a flashlight. Makes sense....
He still needed her at that point, once he was done with her, she was discarded, vile person.
Even complete psychopaths learn the ability to respond palliatively to a health crisis, even if the bigger health crisis is the psychopath themselves. Williams was a conscientious man without a conscience. That’s part of what makes him fascinating from a purely criminological standpoint. I’ve no doubt that he responded to the seizure as any attentive person would, but deep inside he likely viewed it as nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
Because HE wanted to kill her, he wanted that control
Can't have her dying too early or that will be necrophilia
Why the hell would he not lawyer up?
I love how excellent this detective is. He establishes rapport with Russ. He has evidence, but he needs that confession. And he gets it.
The whole cat/basement scene is straight out of a horror movie...poor woman
I keep thinking that when Marie-France first saw her CO in the basement, she must have wondered what he was doing there.
I wonder at point she thought she was going to die.
It is a tragic case. One cannot imagine the fear she went through - the anguish, the mental torture, not to mention the physical violations of her body.
Nobody can imagine the suffering that poor woman went through. It really is hard to imagine how a person can do this to another person.
Horrifying
Some times truth is stranger than fiction.
Jessica Fig he videotaped taping her to death
Not to mention the other poor woman who woke up to find him in her bedroom.
Little did "Russ" know at the time of this interrogation, that his wife would one day be able to view it on CZcams.
i think the worse thing is that the families of victims can see the footage
This wasn't shown in court?
@@IvanIvanov-qx5oz I think he pleaded guilty, so the case didn't go to trial.
Surya yes he did
Ex-wife ✊🏾
Its rereshing af how once he finally gives in, he just completely openly shares the whole truth. Hes a monster, but you gotta respect the honesty.
Um no, the term the jig is up comes to mind. Why respect his honesty? hell, Ted Bundy was honest eventually.
the first words out of Russels mouth should have been “I want to speak to a lawyer”
Honestly this entire channel is a lesson in why talking to cops is a bad idea
The guilty never do it
So you wanted a murderer to go free? What a horrible human being you are
Absolutely! Those right are yours. Many men and women have died defending those rights. NEVER speak to LE without legal counsel.
seen another interview with this detective talking about this case. the lawyer wouldn't have helped. They were all over him already.
When he pulled out those search warrants in succession it was like he was pulling a fatal move in Yu-Gi-Oh
Lmao. He brought the head arms and legs of Exodia to the table and a trap card as well
This comment made me realize that EVERY INTERROGATION IS A GAME OF YU-GI-OH.
I love this comment, thank you.
Russel shouldve said those cards are banned in competetive play
Instead of d-d-duel!! it was j-j-jailtime!
The whole scenario with the cat staring at his is something straight out of a nightmare. Imagine going to your basement and noticing your cat staring into the dark corner and looking to see a man there then having him attack you.. terrifying.
That fact has haunted me ever since I first learned it. For some reason, it was the most chilling thing in his interrogation and I’ve watched the entire thing (not just the edited version)
Same. I can’t stop thinking about it. The cat was trying to help the owner, but cats just don’t roll like dogs. This is when you need a Belgian Malinois.
That scenario is nightmare fuel. He deserves to rot in prison.
I’ve never read Stephen king but that detail about the cat coupled with the killer himself sharing it so matter-of-factly, that I imagine is scarier than anything Stephen King has ever or could ever write.
So incredibly pedestrian, so normal, something that would unsettle you a little but 99.999% of the time it would ultimately amount to nothing and so you wouldn’t be prepared for what really came next. Just awful.
I just made a comment similar to this, really something out of a horror movie
