Did you ever watch his interrogation? I started watching it and couldn't stop.....it's a masterful example of a highly trained interrogator up against a remarkable controlled murderer. Truly worth the watch. Best TV you'll see...
Here he is at the start of the interrogation....believes he's there to "assist" in the investigation of the murders.
Here he is as he realizes he's wearing the very boots they have casts of at the site....Body language was stunning throughout.....
The interrogation of Williams by Detective Smyth is astounding in its subtlety and effectiveness.
I've read that he undertook extensive preparations for it, consulting with psychiatrists and criminal profilers from both Canada and the United States.
The whole thing was sequenced very carefully, and he "walked" Williams from respected Air Force commander to serial killer in a series of small steps, each of which offered no way to back up.
The Markoff interview is just as good in my opinion, except that Markoff pulled the plug and asked for a lawyer instead of giving an explicit confession.
However, before he asked for a lawyer, he made it obvious that he was the murderer.
Detective Smyth was able to use Russell Williams' own sense of honor and responsibility to extract a full confession and a detailed description of each murder before the interview ended.
I started the video and had to force myself away to get back to work. I’m guessing it’s going to be quite a compelling take. Thank you.
