TORONTOAs 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.

I did a lot of web searches on the subject, came up with some good info, used it in my job. Managed to get a really bad case that I was dealing with shut down...but he's still there. Working on that; he's just no longer in a position of power.
Corporations should give candidate managers a PCL-R test, or else they are risking major lawsuits and possibly a guy like this, who's a psycho murderer. Most of the time they manage to restrain themselves enough to keep from being caught, but hierarchical organizations tend to favor them.
An interesting point is that psychopathy is genetic. The alleles are known. I hate to say it, but a simple DNA test could identify a potential bad guy. Since some of them self attenuate, pre-restraint would probably be frowned on.
But then again, maybe a lot more innocent women would be alive if some identification of probable nutcases were made.
About them: The Mask of Sanity is distinguished by its central thesis, that the psychopath exhibits normal function according to standard psychiatric criteria, yet privately engages in destructive behavior
Destructive behavior being on a sliding scale of course...
A little editorial.
This madman with a gun and a uniform deserves a swift military trial followed by a short burst of fire from the hand picked squad of marksman who volunteer to do him. He has forever disgraced the Canadian military in ways that are hard to comprehend, and thus put Canada itself at risk.

I will get a copy of THE MASK OF SANITY very soon. Thanks for the tip.
Do you happen to know, from all your research, if there are a greater number of psychopaths and severe personality disorders nowadays --- or is it... just that there's lots of information available online to read about them?? It seems there are alot of sociopathic liars out there nowadays....

You are right! The sheer numbers of these long ago crimes revealed only over the past decade or so - it is simply mind boggling.
Thanks hennie pennie.
