  378. 25:32you're going through these things
  379. 25:34um are you
  380. 25:38well let me let's talk about jessica
  381. 25:40because she was there with you for the
  382. 25:42whole day
  383. 25:42right what kind of feelings were you
  384. 25:45experiencing while you were with her
  385. 25:46that day
  386. 26:03oh she's a very nice girl
  387. 26:15can you tell me why you killed her right
  388. 26:18do you know why you killed her well i
  389. 26:21think i killed her because i knew that
  390. 26:22uh
  391. 26:33her story would be recognized
  392. 26:41her story will be recognized how do you
  393. 26:42mean
  394. 26:44well because she knew i was taking
  395. 26:50pictures
  396. 26:56so because of the two
  397. 27:02stories in tweed
  398. 27:07that would have been a fairly yeah
  399. 27:12been quite always
  400. 27:17so if you didn't take pictures what
  401. 27:19would you have done with her

  407. 27:41mind between
  408. 27:43well the you know
  409. 27:46the attention the first two god
  410. 27:53was very much focused on
  411. 27:57obviously or for obvious reasons
  412. 28:01pictures i took
  413. 28:07so anybody else telling stories about
  414. 28:10pictures
  415. 28:11right would have been
  416. 28:14a fairly straight line

  718. 47:00on the hard drives you'll see there's
  719. 47:02video as well
  720. 47:05so there's video of the um
  721. 47:14almost four hours i guess
  722. 47:18i have what
  723. 47:25well of uh
  724. 47:32initially at her place of raping her
  725. 47:40and then
  726. 47:44yeah so i was running the video
  727. 47:47and then taking still pictures so the
  728. 47:49video pretty much covers everything
  729. 47:53did you use video at other places
  730. 47:57uh to manage analysis as well
  731. 48:02you know is that video on the hard
  732. 48:03drives
  733. 48:05same type of uh activity
  734. 48:09yeah oh i didn't ever put on any
  735. 48:12stuff okay
  736. 48:17so jessica poses for these pictures and
  737. 48:21there's videos and
  738. 48:23then what happens
  739. 48:30then i got her dressed because she
  740. 48:34thought she was leaving
  741. 48:41fruit
  742. 48:45and then as we were walking out struck
  743. 48:47around the back of the head
  744. 48:52okay when did you decide to do that
  745. 49:13well i was pretty sure that i wasn't
  746. 49:15going to let her leave
  747. 49:17but
  748. 49:24the idea of striking her on the head was
  749. 49:28developed in the afternoon
  750. 49:34and what was that strike supposed to
  751. 49:35accomplish in your mind what was the
  752. 49:38intent of
  753. 49:39doing that well i thought i would be
  754. 49:42able to knock her out and then i was
  755. 49:44i was going to strangle her
  756. 49:47okay so when you actually do striker
  757. 49:51what's the result
  758. 49:55her skull gave way a little bit
  759. 50:00felt like there was a lot of blood so i
  760. 50:02think that's what happened
  761. 50:05she was immediately unconscious
  762. 50:19and then i strangled her
  763. 50:24how'd you strangle her
  764. 50:27uh same rope just put her on her neck
  765. 50:32okay well she was
  766. 50:38unconscious
  767. 50:41now what happened to the zip tie that
  768. 50:42was around her neck earlier
  769. 50:49i took it off
  770. 50:56around that i guess
  771. 51:02did you take it off before you put the
  772. 51:04rope around her neck or after or do you
  773. 51:05remember
  774. 51:06after she was dead
  775. 51:10oh okay so the zip tie was around her
  776. 51:11neck while you use the rope
  777. 51:14did you leave the rope around her neck
  778. 51:17no
  779. 51:18okay and how did you know she was dead
  780. 51:35well her she stopped moving

  885. 57:57to go to her house
  886. 58:07well uh in october
  887. 58:11october november not quite sure the
  888. 58:13summer in that timeframe
  889. 58:20and do you really remember why that you
  890. 58:23thought to
  891. 58:25um to do that
  892. 58:34uh well you know she had said she lived
  893. 58:38alone
  894. 58:40when the one time i met her
  895. 58:57um
  896. 59:01just trying to understand why her versus
  897. 59:04you know the dozens of other
  898. 59:05women you probably come across on a
  899. 59:06daily basis
  900. 59:13i don't know
  901. 59:24and i went out there when she wasn't
  902. 59:26home just to see where she lived
  903. 59:32when did you do that a couple of nights
  904. 59:35before
  905. 59:38how did you know her address
  906. 59:42all right this is a nominal rule for the
  907. 59:45basement
  908. 59:46okay so when you go out there
  909. 59:50a couple of nights before do you
  910. 59:51remember what night that was you were
  911. 59:53there first time
  912. 59:58i don't uh but i it was within two or
  913. 1:00:01three nights i think
  914. 1:00:04okay probably well no more than four or
  915. 1:00:06anything
  916. 1:00:07like that and did you actually go into a
  917. 1:00:10house on that occasion or did you uh
  918. 1:00:12okay so what happened that night how did
  919. 1:00:14you how did you get into her house
  920. 1:00:16this window on the side of the basement
  921. 1:00:18sidewinder
  922. 1:00:20okay just the back step of it
  923. 1:00:24how did you get to her house that that
  924. 1:00:26first night you went there
  925. 1:00:28i drove what did you drive
  926. 1:00:34uh i think i drove my truck
  927. 1:00:37what kind of finder did you remember
  928. 1:00:40where you parked it
  929. 1:00:43yeah i parked it
  930. 1:00:47a bit of a division in the residential
  931. 1:00:50areas there i parked it on another side
  932. 1:00:54it's like 700 meters away okay
  933. 1:00:57so not on her street on different street
  934. 1:00:59remember what street you parked on
  935. 1:01:01no but it's uh actually might be the
  936. 1:01:02same street but there's an interruption
  937. 1:01:04in the street
  938. 1:01:05where there's a construction zone so
  939. 1:01:08there's a pathway in between so i think
  940. 1:01:11it's probably the same street
  941. 1:01:13okay so uh you go to her house
  942. 1:01:16and when you went there that night did
  943. 1:01:19you know that she was away
  944. 1:01:24i'm not sure if i knew entirely but i i
  945. 1:01:28think i thought she was right
  946. 1:01:30okay is that based on her schedule or
  947. 1:01:34or how would you know uh
  948. 1:01:37well my yeah because i fly with the
  949. 1:01:40squadron i have access to the schedule
  950. 1:01:41and
  951. 1:01:43i can say a slightly different schedule
  952. 1:01:45she has but
  953. 1:01:46that's probably how i know you don't
  954. 1:01:49know for sure
  955. 1:01:53i think that's probably how you okay
  956. 1:01:56so you go to our house and what do you
  957. 1:01:59do that night
  958. 1:02:01the first night i

  1063. 1:07:36in the house there when you went to
  1064. 1:07:38marie france's house
  1065. 1:07:42probably running shoes there wasn't snow
  1066. 1:07:45on the ground
  1067. 1:07:49so you go in and you're in the basement
  1068. 1:07:52and whereabouts in the basement area
  1069. 1:07:58um by the furnace
  1070. 1:08:01okay and what are you doing like what uh
  1071. 1:08:03what's your what's your sort of
  1072. 1:08:05plan at that point i was waiting for a
  1073. 1:08:07little bit
  1074. 1:08:10okay and how long did that take
  1075. 1:08:13well she didn't then she came down
  1076. 1:08:15looking for the cat
  1077. 1:08:19all right and
  1078. 1:08:22uh what happens next well
  1079. 1:08:25as i described i subdued her
  1080. 1:08:28give me the flashlight
  1081. 1:08:34but essentially
  1082. 1:08:39wrestled her to the ground and tied her
  1083. 1:08:41up
  1084. 1:08:46okay and what did you use the tie rod
  1085. 1:08:49same real green rope it's in tweed
  1086. 1:08:54is it just green or like uh how long is
  1087. 1:08:58this piece of rope
  1088. 1:09:00it's probably um 20 feet
  1089. 1:09:06it's a boat boat bro it's got some red
  1090. 1:09:08specks in it i think
  1091. 1:09:11okay is there lots of ropes and tweed or
  1092. 1:09:14is this probably the only
  1093. 1:09:16rope no this uh
  1094. 1:09:20there are two two lengths
  1095. 1:09:25two lengths of the same green rope and
  1096. 1:09:28were they both used
  1097. 1:09:31uh well i finally ever had one with me
  1098. 1:09:33so i don't know if i used the same piece
  1099. 1:09:36both times or not but only two lines are
  1100. 1:09:39up
  1101. 1:09:40okay so you tire tire up how did you tie
  1102. 1:09:43her out
  1103. 1:09:44when you obviously do that okay
  1104. 1:09:48and what is she wearing at that point
  1105. 1:09:50she wasn't wearing anything to start
  1106. 1:09:52with
  1107. 1:09:54so when she came down to the basement
  1108. 1:09:55she had no clothes on
  1109. 1:09:57she had some sort of a shawl over her
  1110. 1:09:59shoulder
  1111. 1:10:00okay she immediately dropped when she
  1112. 1:10:02saw me
  1113. 1:10:04did she say anything when she saw you
  1114. 1:10:09she did she called out you
  1115. 1:10:14bastard
  1116. 1:10:16okay and then what happened
  1117. 1:10:21then i subdued her as i described by
  1118. 1:10:24hitting her with that red flashlight
  1119. 1:10:28okay although they were more glancing
  1120. 1:10:32glancing blows cut her skin but
  1121. 1:10:35weren't doing much else okay she fell
  1122. 1:10:39over and then i subdued it
  1123. 1:10:41she tripped
  1124. 1:10:44how did you tie her at that point like i
  1125. 1:10:47know you used the rope but
  1126. 1:10:48where did you tie her up like
  1127. 1:10:51just told her to put her like pulled her
  1128. 1:10:53hands behind her back and just
  1129. 1:10:55tied her wrists together okay
  1130. 1:10:59and then then what happened after that
  1131. 1:11:02then i took her upstairs
  1132. 1:11:09did she go upstairs under her own power
  1133. 1:11:11or did you carry her
  1134. 1:11:13no she passed out on the stairs
  1135. 1:11:19and then i carried her up
  1136. 1:11:23why do you think she passed out
  1137. 1:11:26i expect
  1138. 1:11:29from the heads to her head
  1139. 1:11:35to carry it up to where she were better
  1140. 1:11:37put her on the bed
  1141. 1:11:39okay and
  1142. 1:11:42then what happened
  1143. 1:11:52uh well
  1144. 1:11:55as i described i think i um
  1145. 1:11:58on the bed i raped her
  1146. 1:12:01over a period of time
  1147. 1:12:05okay and again just to be specific with
  1148. 1:12:08what sex acts

  1153. 1:12:22did you exactly to any point with her no
  1154. 1:12:26okay um
  1155. 1:12:31but just before i forget you i think i
  1156. 1:12:33asked you
  1157. 1:12:35don't mean to bounce around and hear us
  1158. 1:12:36but with jessica
  1159. 1:12:39i asked you about ejaculation you said
  1160. 1:12:41you didn't at that point when did you
  1161. 1:12:42ejaculate with jessica
  1162. 1:12:45um the
  1163. 1:12:48second time or third time that i had her
  1164. 1:12:53for a moral sense and was that at her
  1165. 1:12:56residence or yours
  1166. 1:12:58hers okay any other times that you
  1167. 1:13:02ejaculated with her

  1169. 1:13:11use anything to clean up or
  1170. 1:13:16no
  1171. 1:13:18what happened to the ejaculate
  1172. 1:13:22she swallowed it
  1173. 1:13:26um so getting back to marie france
  1174. 1:13:30it's just straight vaginal sex no condom
  1175. 1:13:32no ejaculation
  1176. 1:13:34is that right yeah okay um
  1177. 1:13:38how long does that go for like how long

  1179. 1:13:48uh cup well
  1180. 1:13:53i don't have two rz okay
  1181. 1:13:57and then what happens next
  1182. 1:14:03well as i described i suffocated her
  1183. 1:14:06using
  1184. 1:14:07duct tape
  1185. 1:14:13why did you decide to do that
  1186. 1:14:23well again because of the
  1187. 1:14:27as i pictures here it would have
  1188. 1:14:31it was going to be a pretty straight
  1189. 1:14:32line back to tweet
  1190. 1:14:37okay but why why why did you decide to
  1191. 1:14:40use that method
  1192. 1:14:42versus something else
  1193. 1:14:55i had
  1194. 1:14:58thought about strangling her earlier
  1195. 1:15:07that's on the video what is
  1196. 1:15:11my uh
  1197. 1:15:14well
  1198. 1:15:17it was a short short-lived attempt
  1199. 1:15:20because she struggled quite a bit

  1201. 1:15:28decided that i needed to suffocate her
  1202. 1:15:34so the short-lived tempest strangler and

  1635. 1:40:15not too much here russ just a few
  1636. 1:40:17details that
  1637. 1:40:18i wanted to cover off and specifically
  1638. 1:40:21dan with marie france
  1639. 1:40:23um in the basement of her house
  1640. 1:40:28uh there's a hole in the drywall
  1641. 1:40:33do you recall how that happened
  1642. 1:40:36whereabouts i don't know specifically
  1643. 1:40:39but
  1644. 1:40:39it's downstairs i don't remember that
  1645. 1:40:42okay do you remember doing anything with
  1646. 1:40:46her in the basement uh where you may
  1647. 1:40:47have used some clothing or something to
  1648. 1:40:50to secure her yeah i tied her up against
  1649. 1:40:54one of the
  1650. 1:40:56poles in the basement initially
  1651. 1:41:00i went outside and put the screen back
  1652. 1:41:03on and
  1653. 1:41:03secure the window okay
  1654. 1:41:07well she was tied to the pole yep and
  1655. 1:41:10what was your thinking behind doing that
  1656. 1:41:11at that point
  1657. 1:41:14just to cover up how i'd come in
  1658. 1:41:18okay now by the time she's tied to that
  1659. 1:41:21pole is that in the very
  1660. 1:41:23initial few minutes kind of thing of the
  1661. 1:41:24confrontation or that was

  1664. 1:41:30does she have the duct tape on her mouth
  1665. 1:41:32yet

  1670. 1:41:49occurred in there
  1671. 1:41:51remember that yep what happened there
  1672. 1:41:54she had passed out on the bed and i had
  1673. 1:41:57gone to look at the front window
  1674. 1:41:59see if anybody was coming and
  1675. 1:42:04she got up and closed the bedroom door
  1676. 1:42:07and raced into the bathroom
  1677. 1:42:08trying to get somebody's attention
  1678. 1:42:13but her mouth was taped and her hands
  1679. 1:42:15were tied
  1680. 1:42:18what did you do as a result of that well
  1681. 1:42:20i just got in
  1682. 1:42:24some deuter again and got got her back
  1683. 1:42:26in the bitter
  1684. 1:42:28and do anything just regain control over
  1685. 1:42:33okay if i remember correctly there's a
  1686. 1:42:34bit there's a bit of blood in there do
  1687. 1:42:36you know where that blood would have
  1688. 1:42:37how that that would have occurred all
  1689. 1:42:38the blood was from
  1690. 1:42:41the initial hits as i was trying to
  1691. 1:42:43subdue her
  1692. 1:42:44okay her skin breaking with the
  1693. 1:42:48blows to her head okay do you recall
  1694. 1:42:51blood being in the bathroom
  1695. 1:42:53no actually i didn't have a light on
  1696. 1:42:54there but
  1697. 1:42:56it doesn't surprise me okay
  1698. 1:42:59um there's a pair of underwear and some
  1699. 1:43:02socks on the floor of that bathroom
  1700. 1:43:05that belonged to her do you remember how
  1701. 1:43:07they got there i don't remember seeing
  1702. 1:43:11what do you recall doing to her breasts
  1703. 1:43:14it's pretty clear that there was some
  1704. 1:43:16something happened to her breasts do you
  1705. 1:43:18remember
  1706. 1:43:19what that might have been no i certainly
  1707. 1:43:22touched her breasts i didn't
  1708. 1:43:24do anything to hurt them i remember that
  1709. 1:43:27no
  1710. 1:43:28okay all right
  1711. 1:43:31um well russell
  1712. 1:43:34when i suffocated her she was on her
  1713. 1:43:38her front so
  1714. 1:43:42may have been something there but what
  1715. 1:43:44do you mean
  1716. 1:43:46well she was lying on the floor in the
  1717. 1:43:48bedroom as i suffocated her and
  1718. 1:43:49obviously struggled
  1719. 1:43:51maybe an error that something happened
  1720. 1:43:53but i didn't do anything specifically to
  1721. 1:43:55her breasts
  1722. 1:43:56okay so when you suffocate here that's
  1723. 1:43:59when you have the duct tape over mouth
  1724. 1:44:00and nose
  1725. 1:44:01and that's on the floor yeah and

  1729. 1:44:15put her on the bed
  1730. 1:44:17and covered her up with a duvet
  1731. 1:44:20okay and what was your thinking behind
