The Interrogation of Col. Russell Williams

They need to bring his barber in for questioning as well

The witness who noticed a parked truck is the reason he got caught.

This is a masterclass in interrogation. The detective absolutely smashed it.

He looks down and thinks.... "Oh shit i wore my raping shoes today"

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.

This channel is like attending a very interesting class where I dont have to do anything

Wow this Detective is on a whole new level. He sounds like a therapist but goes in ruthless.

It will always blow me away how normal, cool, collected, open and honest these psychopaths appear to be. Terrifying.

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.

He got the confession, location of the body, and a handshake from the suspect all in less than an hour. That takes serious skill.

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.

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.

Dude chewed that gum into cement.

This is the first time I realized that interrogating someone is actually quite an art form.

Haircut alone deserves jail time

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.

“Subsequent to his conviction, his uniform was burned, his medals were destroyed and his vehicle crushed and scrapped.” Good!

Bruh this man literally bluffed a murderer into a confession with zero solid evidence, like WTF?!?!

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
