0:37here is the closest
0:39to interview by NIS for top secret
0:42clearance oh yeah all right well again
0:45Russell I appreciate coming in an
0:47investigation like this I mean I'm sure
0:48you can appreciate it's been big news uh
0:50especially down Belleville way um and
0:54you know obviously our approach to cases
0:55like this is that uh uh we don't give up
0:58on somebody being aive until we get
1:01evidence that they're not so um because
1:03of that we're treating Jessica's case as
1:05an Emer situation obviously um so we're
1:09we're fast forwarding things that we
1:11might normally take our time with um and
1:13that's why we're here on a Sunday
1:15afternoon so again I appreciate it um
1:19we're going to do a pretty thorough
1:20interview today okay um and the reason
1:23for that is because uh the last thing we
1:25want is to be calling people back again
1:27and again and again okay um so what
1:29we're going to do is we're going to go
1:30over a number of things and uh I'm going
1:31to explain what all those are to you
1:33okay
1:34um I'm a big coffee guy I don't know if
1:37you're a a coffee guy or I didn't want
1:39to drink in front of you so no I
1:40appreciate that all right go ahead I
1:42could uh uh definitely they black yeah
1:44they're just black with uh with
1:49sugar probably a little bit started your
1:51what sorry
1:53Gum g well there's not cuer if you want
1:55to toss it orever I appreciate
1:57that all right and again um like I said
1:59this is interv is going to be very
2:00thorough um but again uh I have a simple
2:04rule when I talk to people it's uh I'm
2:05sure you're the same way I treat
2:07everybody with respect I want ask they
2:09do the same for me um so what we're
2:11going to do is we're going to start off
2:12by uh going through um what your rights
2:14are okay just like everybody else okay
2:18um have you ever been read your rights
2:19before I'm sure you've seen on TV a
2:21whole bunch of times but that's usually
2:22the American version so okay I'll go
2:24over with you briefly okay um basically
2:26in Canada uh as you know I'm sure is uh
2:29we all have uh our rights guaranteed
2:30under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
2:32okay now uh Russell just to avoid any
2:34confusion because people do get confused
2:36when they're talked to by the police is
2:38that uh um you're obviously not under
2:40arrest here today okay anytime you feel
2:42uh you want to leave here you feel free
2:44to do so the door's not locked Teresa
2:45will walk you down to Lobby anytime you
2:47want okay um if there's anything that
2:50comes up in our interview today Russell
2:52that uh that you feel you want to talk
2:54uh to a lawyer about um you just uh you
2:57just let me know okay and the reason for
2:59that is I want to explain to you exactly
3:01what's going on here okay um Jessica uh
3:05Lloyd is um is one of four cases that
3:09we're currently investigating okay um
3:12and essentially what's happened is over
3:13the past uh U about four or five months
3:17y um there have been four occurrences
3:20that like I said that we're looking into
3:23uh two of those occurrences occurred in
3:24September of 2009 um and very briefly
3:27they were up in the the Tweet area uh
3:30they involved somebody entering U two
3:32different women's houses um in the
3:34evening hours and uh committing sexual
3:37acts okay uh in uh November of 2009 a
3:42young lady by the name of uh Marie
3:44France KO um my people yeah was found uh
3:48murdered in her home in Wright yeah and
3:51um we believe that there was a sexual
3:52component to that crime as well and um
3:56then most recently we have Jessica
3:57Lloyd's disappearance okay so
3:59essentially when you look at those kind
4:01of crimes we're looking at a number of
4:03different uh potential criminal charges
4:05right um we're looking at issues uh all
4:07the way from the most serious one which
4:09is first-degree murder uh kidnapping uh
4:12sexual assault um break and Enter with
4:14intent to commit sexual assault yeah um
4:17forceable confinement okay and uh so
4:20what I want to make sure you understand
4:21and this is what we been doing with
4:22everybody we been talking to is that
4:24clearly when we find out who's
4:25responsible for one or all of those
4:27crimes uh they could be charged with one
4:29or all of those offenses okay whether
4:31it's you or whether it's anybody else
4:32all right and that's why it's important
4:35that we uh make sure that people
4:36understand what they have to do and what
4:38they don't have to do when they're
4:38talking to us okay so as I said before
4:41any point today uh you feel the need you
4:43want to speak to a lawyer uh you let me
4:45know and uh we can take you to a room
4:47where you can do that in private okay
4:49okay um do you have your own
4:51lawyer I have a realy lawyer but I don't
4:54have a lawyer all right um if at any
4:57point you want to make that call and you
4:59don't know who call uh we have a phone
5:01list of lawyers that are available to
5:03give you advice free of charge right
5:04over the phone okay so again if at any
5:06point today you want to take advantage
5:08of that you just let me know sure um is
5:10there any reason you want to call lawyer
5:11now no okay um a couple other fairly
5:14simple and straightforward the things
5:16that you probably understand but again
5:18we go over them to make sure everybody's
5:19clear is that uh you don't have to speak
5:22to me today okay okay and the reason for
5:24that is because the law considers me to
5:26be what we refer to as a person in
5:28Authority okay probably to what you may
5:30be considered to be on the base um and
5:32because of that I can be compelled to
5:34appear before any judge in the country
5:36basically to account for what takes
5:37place here today between you and I okay
5:40and that's the reason why everything's
5:41recorded um because there can't be any
5:44more accurate record than that right so
5:46no understood um and the other thing I
5:48want to make sure you understand is that
5:49uh you know you mentioned a second ago
5:51about Miss Como um being one of your
5:54work Associates um so I don't know
5:57what's happened since November um on the
5:59military side of things um but what we
6:02want to make people clear on is that uh
6:04if you have been spoken to by any person
6:06Authority or any police officer about
6:07any of those cases um I don't want what
6:10they may have said to you to uh um make
6:13you feel influenced or compelled to say
6:15anything to me today okay whatever you
6:16might have felt influenced or compell to
6:18say to them earlier you don't have to
6:20repeat it to me and you don't have to
6:21say anything further okay but obviously
6:22what you do say you know for the third
6:25time is being recorded right so um
6:27understood these first two attacks
6:29happened uh not that far from my place
6:31in two well the second one did yeah we
6:33didn't even know the first one had
6:35happened but uh I understand that was
6:37reasonably close as well but the second
6:38one was uh was very close yeah so
6:41certainly at the time you did a uh a
6:44door to door yeah uh within a couple of
6:47days probably the same night so I spoke
6:49with a couple guys then okay um yeah and
6:51I'm I'm aware of that from looking at
6:53the different cases and essentially uh
6:56Russell in a nutshell that's what we
6:57wanted to uh to talk to you about okay
7:00um those four cases are of concern to us
7:03and um you know you've kind of almost
7:05hit the nail on the head about some of
7:07our issues that kind of uh make us want
7:09to talk to to Russell Williams okay um
7:12because essentially uh there's a a
7:15connection um between you and uh and all
7:18four of those cases would you agree
7:22geographically I drive past yes I would
7:25have to say there's a a connection yeah
7:27yeah and that's that's why um I'll be
7:30quite Frank with you that's why uh
7:32things kind of um uh evolved when uh the
7:35officers talked to you on Thursday night
7:37okay uh we kind of went from there
7:38because uh when I think you discussed
7:41with the fact that you were a uh a
7:43colonel at the base I was in uniform at
7:46the time so yeah so pretty obvious right
7:49um so essentially uh then the connection
7:51with Miss Kom um yeah was mate um and I
7:55believe you're uh a door or two down
7:59from one of those two incidents TW Three
8:02Doors Down yeah yeah very close
8:04absolutely yeah exactly so uh those are
8:07some of the issues we wanted to discuss
8:08with you okay um so just getting back to
8:12uh these four incidents that we're
8:14talking about um maybe you could just
8:16give me a little bit of history as to uh
8:19your arrival in the uh in the base in
8:21Trenton when did you start working
8:24there Friday on the day I was
8:28um
8:36Friday on the day I was at home most of
8:38the time most of the day I had a start
8:39of a stomach flu okay in Ottawa or Tweed
8:43in Tweed in Tweed okay yeah uh so we
8:46backtrack
8:48then
8:50so all day Friday you're at home Y and
8:54then what time do you leave to go to the
8:56base to sleep there on the Friday night
8:59um
9:03not sure probably just you know went in
9:05for just before bed uh they're probably
9:09left TW between 8 and N or so okay um
9:12and you get to the base and spend the
9:14evening there and get up for the 530 y
9:17okay that's right so we backtracked from
9:19there um you when did you arrive at your
9:22home uh at the cottage can I want I want
9:26to get confused between your home and
9:27Ottawa and the home so been in Tweed all
9:30week yeah uh the week prior
9:33now
9:36um yeah I think that's the case was in
9:40twe a week flew Saturday headed to
9:43Ottawa Saturday night okay so um if you
9:48didn't have the stomach flu on the
9:49Friday what was your schedule that
9:52day okay
9:56um what would have been my schedule just
9:58a standard schedule in the office okay
10:00so uh I was brief in the morning couple
10:04of
10:06uh a couple of meetings I can't remember
10:09what the specifics were going to be okay
10:12so um Thursday night you slept at tweet
10:15or you yep all right and what did you do
10:18Thursday during the day Thursday during
10:21the day I was at the base
10:23again
10:26um I think it was a fairly standard day
10:28I can't recall exactly but
10:32uh yeah nothing I was not flying so I
10:35was at the base so I would have gone in
10:36early in the morning back in the evening
10:38again okay do you remember what time you
10:40left the base that
10:47night I don't remember anything peculiar
10:50so I would say
10:53uh I don't know probably seven to nine
10:55somewhere in that range okay that's when
10:58you you left left days yeah what was
11:00that's a 45 minute Transit so 45 minutes
11:02home okay okay now I'm not not going to
11:04walk you through November but I'm going
11:06to take you to a date that's probably
11:07pretty fresh in your mind uh uh the day
11:09that uh that Marie fron com um do you
11:12remember how you found out I do yeah I
11:14was sent an email
11:18um well as soon as the uh the off staff
11:21and the base learned they told me okay
11:25so I got an email I can't remember if it
11:27was late at night early in the morning
11:28it a certain I saw
11:30uh I want to say first thing in the
11:32morning because I had just come back
11:33from Ottawa I was in Ottawa for
11:38um um a set of meetings on one of the
11:41days I can't remember what what day of
11:43the week we're talking about it but
11:45uh yeah no I mean obviously one of your
11:48people gets killed it gets your
11:50attention so absolutely I very much by
11:53that coming it and how did you know
11:55Marie France com I had only met her once
11:58um
12:00she was on a crew I was on just after I
12:03got to the base okay so uh I can't
12:06remember I think it was a one day trip
12:07uh I did a number of trips uh in Canada
12:11transporting
12:12um our um you know troops sort of first
12:15Lake out of Edmonton uh you know we tend
12:19to H Scotch them across uh until they
12:21get into theater so and any I I can't
12:24remember which trip it was but uh we did
12:25a number of them out to Edmonton just to
12:27to pick up the troops bring them to Tren
12:29and and then uh put a fresh crew on and
12:32cuz we'd fly open and back in the same
12:34day so pushing the edge of that and uh
12:37fresh crew on they continue on after a
12:38couple hour delay okay do you know uh
12:41roughly when that happened that we were
12:44on the same crew the time you met or the
12:46one time there yeah it was soon after I
12:48got to the base so uh I I don't remember
12:51exactly but I would say in the first
12:53couple of months so August
12:55September okay um now you got that email
12:59Ying that something had happened uh do
13:01you have uh any kind of a a clear
13:03recollection as to how your schedule was
13:05going that
13:08week well I can't remember what again
13:11what day that uh the message came in
13:14just a
13:15second
13:22um no I can't remember what day day of
13:25the week but I
13:26um I'm just think there was a whole
13:28bunch of activity spun up as a result
13:34obviously I can't remember the day of
13:36the
13:37week
13:42um I'm just trying to think through the
13:44news reports I
13:48read I'm sorry I can't remember what day
13:50that was but
13:55uh what I what we learned after the fact
13:58was that the um
14:00the MPS had
14:03leared uh of her death I think quite a
14:06bit after her body had been discovered
14:10okay
14:13so I think would have another Sor
14:22just okay so I think if I remember
14:25correctly the MPS
14:27learned late that evening can't remember
14:30when obviously her body was discovered
14:32it was probably in the news reports but
14:34uh so they learned and then they passed
14:36it to offs that Im so they immediately
14:38passed it to me okay the MPS work for
14:41the wing operations officer so they go
14:43you know through their train of command
14:44and then as soon as the the duty launch
14:46officer had that information she advised
14:48me okay um so again that that particular
14:53with some others right right I'm sure
14:55it's spread like wildfire absolutely um
14:58so that particular week uh do you have
15:01any recollection well for instance when
15:03you got the email uh do you remember
15:05where you were I was at home and tweet
15:07okay yeah um do you remember if that was
15:10a week that you were um reasonably
15:13stable in Trenton or how' you no I had
15:15been in Ottawa I had been in Ottawa
15:17earlier in the week uh for some meetings
15:20over in uh in gatau for one of the um
15:24actually for the c17 acquisition I was a
15:26project director when I was here in h
15:28for that so just some Fallout stuff for
15:30that okay so I had been here
15:36um at some point in that week again I
15:39can't remember how the days all fell
15:41together but um I seem to remember that
15:45I got this word shortly after having
15:48come back from Ottawa seems to me it was
15:51the same week so if we were to uh to you
15:54know do a similar uh investigation in
15:56your background is there is there
15:58anything you can think of that anybody
15:59may have misinterpreted or anything uh
16:02in your history that somebody might say
16:04Russell Williams uh absolutely did this
16:07no okay be very boring what's that it'll
16:11be very
16:12boring all right because essentially
16:14that's what I'm looking at is it uh
16:18um you seem like a very intelligent
16:20person I think you can see how um a
16:23surprise like that would U certainly set
16:26up some alarm BS or investigation right
16:28okay
16:29um so the next thing we need to cover
16:32off is uh well I'll just ask you this
16:34straight out uh given the types of
16:36crimes for investigating uh do you get
16:38much chance to uh to watch television
16:41shows CSI things like that I do watch uh
16:45I prefer law in order but I do watch CSI
16:47occasionally as okay so you have an idea
16:49of obviously the forensic capabilities
16:51things like that are out
16:52there what would you be willing to give
16:55me today to help me um move past you in
16:58this investig
17:00a what uh what do you need well um would
17:05you be willing to supply things like
17:07fingerprints blood samples things like
17:08that okay um Footwear Impressions yeah
17:12okay all right um I think that's what
17:15we're going to we're going to ask you to
17:16do all right now we have a process we
17:18have to go through to do that okay um
17:20and for the blood sample uh I don't take
17:22the blood sample we have specially
17:23trained officers that are trained to do
17:25that okay uh I'm going to step out and
17:26make sure they're still available
17:30can I assume you're going to be discreet
17:33it's possible yeah because
17:36uh you know this would have a very
17:39significant impact on the base if they
17:41thought you thought I did this well uh
17:44bottom Russell that's one of the reasons
17:46we're here on a Sunday afternoon um uh
17:49the uh the military certainly be of
17:50great assistance for to us especially in
17:53relation to miss komo's investigation so
17:55uh it's certainly one of the things that
17:56would end our decision to to give you a
17:58call at home day and see if we could
17:59deal with this today okay so okay
18:07um CU it's tough to undo the rumor mill
18:10once it gets
18:15started I appreciate that
18:18okay now that you've had some time to I
18:20I know we've been throwing a lot of
18:21things at you here but now you've had
18:22some time to to think about things um is
18:25there anything uh that you're concerned
18:27about uh that Buckle swab matching in
18:30any of those four residences um is
18:34there I guess let me explain you want to
18:37get out here Russell okay um this is a
18:40significant investigation as you can as
18:42you can well imagine um that uh that DNA
18:45is going to be uh significant in our
18:48investigation both uh you know quite
18:50possibly to help you quite possibly to
18:52help us understood I don't know yet I
18:53don't know what the result is yet
18:56um and I'll go back to the example gave
18:59you cuz it's a very similar uh issue I
19:01think um and you talked about the idea
19:04of discretion here okay uh you talked
19:06about the idea that uh um you know I
19:11think hopefully you appreciate the fact
19:12of how we approached you here yeah
19:14absolutely um and essentially uh we have
19:17no issues with that okay um we talked
19:20recently about you know the whole idea
19:22of any unusual sex acts of your history
19:25um but another thing can often happen in
19:27cases like this is that people um become
19:30concerned about uh um things like
19:33extramarital Affairs uh indiscretions
19:36along those lines um is there any
19:41contact that you may have had with any
19:43of those four women um that you may not
19:47want your wife to be aware of anything
19:49like that that we should know about to
19:51try and uh explain why if if your DNA is
19:55found it would help us understand why it
19:57may be there absolutely not
19:59okay can you think of any reason
20:03um why we would find your DNA any of
20:05those residences let's let's focus on
20:07well for instance uh I believe let me
20:09just check the name there make sure I
20:11got the right address talking about the
20:12house it was just uh a couple of doors
20:14down from you there in in Tweed couple
20:17of Doors Down was Lori I don't know her
20:20last name I don't know maikati I don't
20:22even know what her last name is but
20:25uh there's a the woman down the road
20:29Three Doors Down her name is glor I
20:31don't know her last name all right let
20:32me just make sure we're on the same page
20:39here uh my understanding is she lived at
20:41the 76 Cozy Cove yeah so she would be
20:43the one the second one uh the second
20:46incident on your on your road there
20:48couple of Doors Down ever been in her
20:52house no we met her once I think the
20:56first summer
20:59um we were there
21:01so4 okay and that's what I'm getting at
21:03I I again this is a credibility issue
21:06right because I don't want to come and
21:08see you two weeks from now and say you
21:11know U our CSI people in that house and
21:14uh are you familiar with how C uh DNA
21:18works I think broadly yes I would guess
21:20so um one of the challenges we have in
21:242010 with DNA is has become so um
21:27precise that um I guess the best way to
21:31explain it is I can think back 15 years
21:33ago when I started in uh in violent
21:35crime investigation yeah um for us to
21:38get a DNA match the sample we had to
21:40find was um you know probably would have
21:44filled half of one of these cups you
21:46know CU they destroy so much of the the
21:47sample in the testing okay um
21:51essentially DNA has become more and more
21:53precise to the point where when you and
21:55I walked in this room earlier today uh
21:58could have sat down talked for 30
22:00seconds walked out CSI officer could
22:03have come in 3 4 days from now yeah did
22:07some swabs here and he would have found
22:09your DNA and my DNA and probably a lot
22:10of other people's DNA sure um a little
22:13bit gross to think about but essentially
22:15uh you know as we talk um we you know a
22:18little bit aspir it comes out of our
22:20mouth that uh that contains our DNA or
22:22blood or our skin cells contain our DNA
22:25and that's what I'm getting at if you
22:26were ever in Lor's residence quite
22:28possibly quite innocently your DNA could
22:31be uh in that residence has there ever
22:33been a time you've been in there no okay
22:36um what about the other lady down the
22:39road on uh I hadn't even heard that name
22:42so no I don't I don't actually know who
22:43that was okay have you ever V visited uh
22:47U Marie France Como at her residence no
22:50okay all right um so you're quite
22:52positive there would be no reason why
22:53your DNA would be any of those three
22:55locations okay um did you know Jessica
22:59Lloyd even in passing for any reason no
23:02I didn't hear hear her name till it was
23:04on the news Okay the reason I'm asking
23:06that uh is because um I know you were
23:10asked that question on Thursday night
23:13and sometimes what we find and again
23:15this is one of those situations that can
23:17sometimes cause us to get in a lengthy
23:18investigation as somebody that maybe
23:19doesn't deserve it um but what what it
23:22can happen sometimes is they you know
23:24somebody gets stopped by the police like
23:25you did and they uh they get asked that
23:29question and people when they're stopped
23:31by the police they can be nervous okay
23:33um so they blurred out an answer and
23:35then they start driving away and why' I
23:37do that because the problem is that once
23:39they uh get asked again then they feel
23:42compelled to maintain that
23:45answer for fear that if they change
23:47their answer somebody could find it you
23:49understand what I'm saying I do okay so
23:50I want to make sure that's not happening
23:52here I don't care what you said to the
23:53officers on Thursday night last week um
23:55if there's any uh communication or cont
23:58between you and Jessica Lloyd you've
24:00seen her picture right around town yeah
24:03ever seen her
24:04before I don't no I would say I have not
24:07okay all right all right and you
24:10mentioned something about uh doing some
24:12Renovations at your uh at your property
24:14and Tweed there um I think you said
24:16something earli about tearing up carpet
24:18correct me if I'm wrong but oh yeah okay
24:20when did all that happen in 204 or five
24:24okay any recent uh Renovations no okay
24:27all right
24:35just want to make sure I'm covering all
24:36the bases here
24:41um okay kind of tires you have on your
24:47Pathfinder I think um I think they're
24:51toy you the brand name or sorry
24:55the um I don't sorry the make is Toyo
24:59yeah I don't know the model
25:04okay see read this up to you see if it
25:07rings a
25:13bell ever heard of uh does Toyo Open
25:17Country
25:18HTS sounds make any sense okay when did
25:21you have those tires put on your
25:24Pathfinder well it's the second version
25:26we've had of them so uh
25:30uh I think it might have been this past
25:32fault but they replaced other ones we'
25:35had on the
25:36same okay well Toyo I can't say that
25:39they were the same exactly the same
25:40model but uh our dealership here in on
25:43us say they're very popular for the
25:45Pathfinders okay and they were good they
25:47lasted a long time all right
25:51um I've had to you were talking about
25:55the the whole idea of the MPS uh helping
25:57us with our inves
26:00you have the same system as we do at our
26:01headquarters with the swipe cards um one
26:04of the things uh one of our
26:06investigators did is they made a call
26:07while I was talking to you there um
26:09because we were trying to work through
26:10that week of the uh the 23rd of November
26:13okay um 23rd being in the Monday uh 24th
26:16being in the Tuesday okay um what what
26:19they've what they've told us is that um
26:21and I want to make sure I get this right
26:23is that uh on the
26:2623rd uh your swipe card was be being
26:28used at the base okay okay uh on Tuesday
26:3124th there was no use of your swipe card
26:34okay okay and then on the uh the
26:35following days uh the Wednesday Thursday
26:37Friday um there was what appeared to be
26:40average activity of your Swip card in
26:42the base does that make sense to you it
26:43does that that says that I was in Ottawa
26:46on the Tuesday okay do you remember
26:48where in Ottawa you were yeah I was in
26:51gatau with uh as I said meeting about
26:54the uh c17 okay um now
26:58again I want to be fair to you here
26:59we're going back two months um are you
27:01sure that would have been the uh the day
27:04you were in Ottawa
27:06well only because I wasn't at the base
27:09okay so I I can't remember honestly that
27:12that's the day I had the meeting in
27:13Ottawa but uh if I wasn't at the base it
27:16was CU I was here okay now if that is
27:19the day you had a meeting in Ottawa um
27:21do you remember being at the base on the
27:23Monday uh the 23rd and swiping your card
27:26in and out do you remember what you
27:27would have done that evening to to to
27:29get to Ottawa for that meeting like
27:31would it be
27:33uh I drove to Ottawa in the morning of
27:36the day of my meeting so if it was the
27:37Tuesday then I would have left uh Tweed
27:40it was a very foggy morning okay uh that
27:43morning and I drove in that morning okay
27:46so I would not have been at the
27:48base uh the day I was in a because the
27:51meeting started at 8:30 or something
27:54okay so you leave the base you would
27:55have went home to to your residents in
27:57tweet
27:59yep and then you left weed in the
28:00morning and drove up to your meeting in
28:02Ottawa okay um you leave the the meeting
28:05in Ottawa is a daytime meeting evening
28:08meeting or do you remember uh yeah it
28:09was a a daytime meeting finished I don't
28:12know midaf afternoon or so okay we had
28:14lunch and then finished I think uh my
28:17wife and I had dinner cuz she was here
28:19for work and then I had it back okay um
28:22well that's these are the kind of things
28:24I'm trying to draw out here that's
28:25helpful to us um do you remember where
28:27you had dinner
28:30uh well I don't remember exactly the
28:32restaurant but it was in Westboro cuz
28:33that's where our house was being built
28:34at the time so we had dinner you know in
28:37a restaurant that we would expect to be
28:40able to frequent uh once the house was
28:42finished okay remember how you
28:45paid uh one of us would have paid by
28:47Master Card okay are you sure about that
28:50or pretty sure that's normally how we uh
28:53okay we pay for meals all right can't
28:55remember if it was me or my wife that
28:57paid but one of us okay and you remember
28:59which restaurant it was again no okay
29:01all right and you see where I'm getting
29:03at right I mean that can be very helpful
29:05for us because we can track uh that
29:08issue right we can we can put somebody
29:10paying for a meal at a location I was
29:13meeting with uh you know 15 people or so
29:15that day so okay what time did the
29:17meeting
29:20end I would say between 3 and four okay
29:23and um are you sure that that's the same
29:26day you went out with your wife
29:31well I think so yeah CU she was here and
29:37uh I think that was the day we went to
29:39this restaurant in Westbury yes okay um
29:42you finished dinner and you remember
29:45what you did that evening I would have
29:47driven back to tweet okay and you would
29:50have now again I I know we're talking
29:53two months ago here but do you remember
29:54specifically having get her and then
29:56driving back to tweet or uh do you
29:58remember are you just guessing
30:02here no I'm not really guessing I mean I
30:05I believe that this night at this
30:07restaurant was following the meetings in
30:08Ottawa
30:10MH and I you know kissed my wife goodbye
30:13and headed back to tweet to go to work
30:16the next day okay um all right the uh
30:22the tires that you have on your truck
30:24right the reason I asked you about that
30:25is there is there any time I mean you
30:28recall where you were stopped um by the
30:31officers there yes okay did they explain
30:34to you what the significance house that
30:36was her house okay so you remember that
30:38location yep do you remember what the
30:39crossroad was or I don't think there was
30:42a crossroad it's sort of just uh the
30:44south end of 37 okay um when you get
30:48stopped at that location has there been
30:51a time in the recent uh one or two weeks
30:54that uh your vehicle has uh left that
30:58road for any reason whatsoever have you
30:59driven into a field with your vehicle at
31:01all um for any reason you can think of
31:05no okay um cuz I want you to Rack your
31:07brain here this is important so is there
31:09anything you can remember doing that uh
31:12you know what it cause you to to uh
31:15drive off the road no at that section of
31:17roadway no that's my early uh that's the
31:20early part of the highway and um just
31:22head north it's about 30 minutes from
31:24there to uh oh probably 20 from there to
31:27to my house okay um would it surprise
31:31you to know that uh when the CSI
31:34officers were uh looking around her
31:37property uh that they identified um a
31:40set of tire tracks uh to the north of
31:43her property um looks as if the vehicle
31:45left the road and uh drove along the
31:49north tree line of of Jessica Lloyd's
31:51property okay um they took uh they
31:56examined those tire tracks MH and uh
31:59they have contacts in the tire business
32:02obviously tire tracks are a major source
32:04of evidence for us sure um shortly after
32:08um this investigation started they
32:10identified those tires as the same uh
32:13tires on your Pathfinder really
32:16yeah okay okay one of the other uh one
32:20of the other things that they do to try
32:22and identify the type of vehicle that
32:23may have left those tires well they do
32:25two things they they talk to Witnesses
32:27okay
32:28um there was a uh female police officer
32:31that actually drove by that location uh
32:33that evening and recall seeing an SUV
32:37type vehicle in the field up to the
32:38north of Jessica Lloyd's Hill uh
32:41consistent with a a Pathfinder okay
32:43maybe consisted with other things but
32:44consist with
32:46Pathfinder um and they uh what they also
32:49do to try and identify the type of the
32:50vehicle is they look at uh what they
32:53call the wheelbase width okay cuz
32:55different Vehicles different mies models
32:57have wheel B base width so they can take
32:58those two sets of tire tracks measure
33:00the distance between them okay and
33:03determine what the uh the width is sure
33:06and then they can enter that into a
33:07vehicle database and it will spit out
33:09the types of vehicles okay um your
33:12Pathfinders wheelbase with is very very
33:15close to the width of the uh of the
33:18tires uh that were left in that field
33:21okay um do you have any recollection at
33:25all of being off that road no was not
33:27off the road no
33:28okay all
33:30right Russell
33:33um is there anything you can think of
33:36let's go talk about Marie France comoo
33:38for a minute okay is there any reason at
33:41all you can think of that during our
33:45investigation obviously we're searching
33:48uh computers uh things like blackberries
33:51right electronic devices uh looking
33:54through houses for things that are in
33:56handwriting written notes Diaries things
33:58like that um now I'm not a liberty to
34:01tell you what the content was but is
34:02there any reason at all you can think of
34:05why Marie France Kom would have
34:08specifically referenced you in some of
34:10her uh in some of her
34:13writings not at all
34:15no no absolutely not okay is there
34:19anything that she ever said to you that
34:21led you to believe that there might be
34:22something uh more than a passing
34:24interest with her towards you not don't
34:27all no we spent you know one flight
34:30together talking I'd go back
34:32occasionally and
34:34talk no
34:36I if that's the case that's a that's
34:38very surprising okay all right um you
34:42have any questions for me right now no
34:44okay I'm just going to step out and see
34:45how things are going okay I mean it is a
34:47Sunday but there's probably 60 70 people
34:49working on this file so there's a lot of
34:50things happening sure uh so let me go
34:52out and see what's happening and then
34:53I'll uh I'll come back in and we'll
34:55hopefully continue okay I told you when
34:58I came in here uh that I'm going to
35:00treat you with respect and I've asked
35:01you to do the same for me
35:04um we talked about the whole idea of how
35:07we've uh approached you here okay uh the
35:11trying to be as discreet as possible
35:13okay but the problem is Russell is every
35:16time I walk out of this room there's
35:18another issue that comes up okay and
35:20it's not issues that point away from you
35:22it's issues that point at you okay and I
35:24want I want you to see what I mean all
35:26right
35:30this is the Footwear
35:34impression of the person who
35:37approached the rear of Jessica Lloyd's
35:40house M on the evening of the 28th and
35:4329th of January okay all right now I
35:47want you to keep in mind that this is
35:49slightly smaller okay in scale okay okay
35:52all right that's not to scale that's the
35:54Footwear is actually bigger if you look
35:56here on the ruler you'll see that uh one
35:59inch is just slightly smaller than an
36:01actual inch okay but this is the way it
36:02prints off on the computer
36:05yeah move this over so you can see what
36:07I mean all right but essentially when
36:09you're dealing with Footwear Impressions
36:11um we have a gentleman on the op who's
36:14uh basically world-renowned his name is
36:16John Norman and essentially with
36:18Footwear Impressions uh you're in a
36:20situation where you're you're pretty
36:22much in the area of of fingerprints okay
36:26and essentially what we're talking about
36:28here is especially when you start adding
36:30in other pieces of of uh information
36:32that uh support uh an investigative
36:35position
36:39okay this is a photocopy of the boot
36:44that uh you took off your foot yeah just
36:46a little while ago okay now I'm not an
36:50expert in Footwear Impressions so I rely
36:51on the
36:53experts Footwear impressions are very
36:55much like uh like fingerprint comparison
36:58okay you take a look at this print and
37:00again this is one print this person
37:02walked through there's several different
37:04prints to compare so we're going to get
37:06features off of one print to compare
37:07features off another print to
37:10compare these are
37:16identical okay your vehicle drove up the
37:20side of Jessica Lloyd's
37:22house your boots walked to the back of
37:26Jessica Lloyd's house
37:28on the evening of the 28th and 29th of
37:30January okay you want
37:33discretion we need to have some honesty
37:37okay because this is this is getting
37:39under control really fast
37:41Russell okay really really
37:56fast
38:00this is getting Beyond My
38:02Control all right I came in here a few
38:06hours
38:07ago and I called you the way I called
38:09you today because I wanted to give you
38:10the benefit doubt M but you and I both
38:13know you at Jessica Lloyd's house and I
38:17need to know
38:26why
38:49I don't know what to say that's well you
38:52need to explain it because this is the
38:54other problem we're having wrestle okay
38:57again again these decisions are made by
38:59me right now there's a search warrant
39:01being executed at your residence in
39:04a so your wife now knows what's going
39:08on the search being executed that day
39:11your residence anded and your vehicles
39:13been seized
39:15okay you and I both know they're going
39:17to find evidence that links you to
39:21these
39:23situations okay you and I both know that
39:25the unknown offender
39:30male on Marie France com's body is going
39:34to be matched to you quite possibly
39:36before the evening's
39:38over okay this is a major investigation
39:41the center of foric Sciences on call 24
39:43hours a day helping us with
39:47this your opportunity to take some
39:50control here and to have some
39:53explanation that anybody is going to
39:56believe is
39:58is quickly expiring
40:03MH okay we're applying the investigators
40:07now applying for a warrant to search
40:09your
40:12office right these aren't decisions that
40:14we can say yes or no to this is a
40:16practical steps in an investigation like
40:21this and
40:26Russell
40:43Russell H listen me for a second okay
40:47when that evidence comes in when that
40:49DNA match when that phone rings and
40:51somebody knocks on this
40:54door your credibility is gone okay
40:58because this is how credibility works
40:59all right and I know you're an
41:00intelligent person and you probably
41:02don't need to hear this explanation but
41:03I also know your mind's racing right now
41:05okay because I've sat across a lot of
41:07people in your position over the years
41:09okay the bottom line is is that as soon
41:13as we get that that piece of evidence
41:15that solidifies it DNA okay as soon as
41:19the
41:20expert in Footwear Impressions the
41:22expert entire Impressions calls and says
41:25yes I've examined those and they're
41:28match
41:30mhm it's all over because as soon as
41:33that
41:34happens where's your credibility where's
41:37your believability you're just another
41:40uh and again don't take this wrong okay
41:44but you can see if you step outside this
41:46room in your mind and imagine how people
41:49are going to view you okay if the truth
41:52comes out after the clear evidence is
41:56presented to you when you finally go
41:59okay I'm screwed
42:01now what are we going to
42:11do
42:13Russell you know there's only one option
42:16what do you what do you what other
42:17option is there what's the
42:20option well I don't think you want the
42:23cold blooded psychopath
42:26option
42:29I might be
42:32wrong because I don't get me wrong I've
42:34met guys who actually kind of enjoyed
42:36the notoriety got off on
42:39it got off on having that
42:42label Bernardo being one of them I don't
42:45see that in you if I saw that in you I
42:48wouldn't be back in here talking to you
42:49quite
42:56frankly but maybe I'm wrong maybe you
42:58got me fooled I don't
43:05know this is
43:09over and it can have
43:12a a bad
43:14ending where Jessica's parents
43:18continue to wonder where her daughter's
43:26lying and I don't know I mean obviously
43:29there's a huge search still underway and
43:31it'll
43:33continue it'll continue until her body's
43:39found that might even happen tonight for
43:41all I
43:45know once that
43:48happens then I don't know what other
43:50card you would have to
43:56play

48:49why is it hard to
48:55believe
49:11it's just it's just hard to
49:17believe whose decision was it and we're
49:22going to find out the answer to this
49:23anyway but whose decision was it to
49:26issue to the uh the directive to the
49:28base Personnel that nobody had to speak
49:31to the police and to seek legal counsel
49:32before they were
49:37questioned my I don't think that was my
49:40understanding that Direction came from
49:41somebody that reports to
49:44you what do you think they're going to
49:46say Russ no know what do you think
49:49they're going to say all right and and
49:51let's let's step back for a second here
49:54okay I really don't think it benefits
49:56you or makes you look any better to
49:58start debating the little issues but
50:00that is news to me okay I have a legal
50:02officer that reports to me yeah who may
50:05have given that direction okay but
50:07that's the first time I've heard if
50:08that's true that's the first time I've
50:09heard that all right and that may be the
50:11case but how does it
50:16look
50:18right we're not even dealing with
50:20something that's really even evidence
50:22cuz it's not needed I mean when you have
50:24you have DNA and all this other stuff
50:26that's not what was the direction I
50:28don't recall but it was something along
50:30the lines of of uh telling the people on
50:32the base that they didn't uh they
50:34weren't required legally to speak with
50:36police and they should seek legal
50:37counsel before they decid to speak but
50:40well if that was if that was actually
50:42said it would not have been to the base
50:43at large it it may have been to the
50:45individual the uh the boyfriend who was
50:48the suspect okay my understanding it
50:51went out to all Personnel no AB maybe
50:52maybe no only under your command I don't
50:54know okay that's fine see it that's fine
50:57now let's get back to the issue what's
50:59that so you talk about perception my
51:01only two immediate concerns from a
51:03perception perspective
51:06are what my wife must be going through
51:08right now
51:10yeah and the impact this is going to
51:12have on the Canadian Forces where do we
51:25go
51:33verse is there anything you want from
51:36me is there anything you want me to
51:39explain is there something missing that
51:41you're struggling with that I can shed
51:44some light on for
51:51you I'm struggling with how upset my
51:54life is right now
51:57R what are you looking
52:07for I'm concerned that they're tearing
52:10apart my wife's brand new house so am
52:14I but if nobody tells
52:17them what's there what's not they don't
52:20have any
52:23choice computers will be brought to
52:25Microsoft in California they'll be
52:28they'll be picked apart you can't erase
52:31things from
52:33computers it doesn't happen I'm sure
52:35you've seen that I'm sure that's pretty
52:37common knowledge these days it just
52:38doesn't happen there's they sell
52:41programs that uh to try and help people
52:44clean their computers of stuff and our
52:47guys are pulling that stuff out all the
52:48time the FBI is pulling that stuff out
52:50all the
52:55time
53:00this
53:01investigation will end up costing no
53:03less than $10
53:06million
53:10easy and they will say no to
53:15nothing any
53:17request this major case manager makes on
53:19this case they've already been told it's
53:23approved don't even bother asking

1:04:04you
1:04:06um I saw her in her house on her
1:04:12trima wasn't stand had I
1:04:16guess then I noticed she wasn't

1:04:23Thursday so I got into look
1:04:31around then
1:04:33um and the
1:04:36left notice she'd come
1:04:40home so I went back
1:04:45in through the uh back patio
1:04:49door while she was
1:04:54sleeping
1:05:07so I woke her
1:05:20up didn't um didn't hit her she only hit
1:05:24her once
1:05:26Friday
1:05:43night
1:05:51okay well so I raped her in uh in her
1:05:55house
1:05:58house and then I took her to the car and
1:06:01took her to
1:06:14tweet and
1:06:19um spend the day in
1:06:24tweet
1:06:28and then I hit her um as we were walking
1:06:32she thought we were
1:06:37leaving hit her on the back of the
1:06:50head
1:06:54okay
1:06:56particular well um what did they hit on
1:06:59the back of the head
1:07:04do well I was surprised that uh her her
1:07:08skull gave
1:07:10way she was there and immediately
1:07:15unconscious and I strangle
1:07:18her
1:07:19okay what did you hit her
1:07:22with
1:07:24flashlight okay right in the house or
1:07:27outside the house in the
1:07:31house yeah they'll find signs of
1:07:36that where in the house did this
1:07:39happen in the main portion just in front
1:07:41of the
1:07:42fireplace what do you mean they'll find
1:07:44signs of it oh it was quite a bit of
1:07:46blood I hadn't expected I'd expected to
1:07:49knocker
1:07:53out but obviously generated a lot
1:07:56blood what did she bleed onto the floor
1:08:00it's just a tile floor okay did you
1:08:03clean it up or did you I I wiped it
1:08:07up I know it'll be easily spotted well

1:22:16right
1:22:18um oh let me ask you this is it
1:22:22uh two lived
1:22:25right and two
1:22:26die what's what was the difference in
1:22:29your mind
1:22:30between well the
1:22:32uh you know the attention the first two
1:22:37god
1:22:40um was very much F focused
1:22:44on
1:22:45obviously or for obvious reasons uh
1:22:48pictures I
1:22:53took
1:22:54so anybody else telling stories about
1:22:58pictures right would have
1:23:01been fairly straight
1:23:07line okay but when when this thing
1:23:10happened with Marie
1:23:12FRS there was was did you believe that
1:23:16you were already a suspect for what
1:23:19happened in tweet
1:23:22no so what what were you concerned
1:23:28about well because
1:23:36um I was pretty sure that
1:23:40uh you know she was serving military
1:23:43right
1:23:45mhm it would have been
1:23:47uh it would have been difficult
1:23:50for investigators to
1:23:53ignore that
1:23:56connection
1:23:59okay yeah makes sense

1:41:49there's video as
1:41:51well so there's video of the
1:42:00um almost four hours I
1:42:04guess of
1:42:11what well of
1:42:19uh initially at her place of uh raping
1:42:22her
1:42:23[Music]
1:42:27and then
1:42:31uh yeah so I was running the
1:42:34video and then taking still pictures so
1:42:37the video pretty much covers
1:42:40everything did you use video at other
1:42:44places uh
1:42:46Ates as well okay and is that video on
1:42:50the hard drives y same type of
1:42:54uh activity
1:42:57y oh I didn't ever put on any
1:43:01stuff
1:43:04okay so Jessica poses for these pictures
1:43:08and there's videos and um and then what
1:43:17happens then um I got her dressed cuz
1:43:21she thought she was leaving
1:43:27B
1:43:31fruit and then as we're walking out uh
1:43:34Stu her on the back of the
1:43:39head okay when did you decide to do
1:43:52that
1:44:00well I was uh pretty sure that I wasn't
1:44:03going to let her
1:44:04leave but
1:44:09um you know the idea of striking her on
1:44:13the head
1:44:14was developed in the
1:44:21afternoon and what was that strikes
1:44:23supposed to accomplish in your mind what
1:44:25was the intent of of doing
1:44:27that well I thought I would be able to
1:44:30knock her out and then I was I was going
1:44:32to strangle
1:44:34her
1:44:36okay so when you actually do strike her
1:44:39what what's the
1:44:42result her skull gave way a little
1:44:46bit felt like and there was a lot of
1:44:49blood so I think that's what
1:44:52happened she was immediately
1:45:05unconscious and then I um strangled
1:45:11her how'd you strangle
1:45:14her uh the same
1:45:17rope just put her on her neck
1:45:20okay well she was um
1:45:27unconscious now what happened to the zip
1:45:29tie that was around her neck
1:45:35earlier I took it off
1:45:43uh around that I
1:45:49guess did you take it off before you put
1:45:51the Rope onun her neck or or after or do
1:45:53you remember after she was
1:45:56dead oh okay so the zip tie was around
1:45:59her neck while you used the Rope M okay

1:46:16dead she
1:46:21um let her body stop

1:54:00basis I don't
1:54:03know
1:54:11you I went out there when she wasn't
1:54:14home just to see where she
1:54:18lived when did you do
1:54:21that a couple of nights
1:54:25before had' you know her
1:54:29address I there another role for the
1:54:33basement
1:54:35okay so when you go out there a couple
1:54:37of nights before do you remember what
1:54:39night that was when you were there first
1:54:44time I don't uh but I it was within two
1:54:49or three nights I
1:54:50think okay
1:54:53well no more than four anyway something
1:54:55like
1:54:55that and did you actually go into her
1:54:57house on that occasion or did you uh
1:55:00okay so what happened that night how'
1:55:01you how'd you get into her house this
1:55:03window on the side of the
1:55:05basement side window
1:55:09okay just a back step a bit how did you
1:55:12get to her house that that first night
1:55:14you went
1:55:15there I drove what did you
1:55:20drive uh
1:55:23I think I drove my
1:55:24truck could I find her do you remember
1:55:27where you parked
1:55:30it yep I parked it
1:55:34um a bit of a division in
1:55:36the residential areas that parked on
1:55:39another
1:55:41side 6 700 met away okay so not on her
1:55:45Street on a different street you
1:55:47remember what street you parked on no
1:55:49it's uh actually might be the same
1:55:50street but there's an interruption in
1:55:51the street Street where there's a
1:55:53construction Center
1:55:55so there's a pathway in between so I
1:55:58think it's probably the same street okay
1:56:02so uh you go to her house and when you
1:56:05went there that night did you know that
1:56:07she was
1:56:11away uh I'm not sure if I knew entirely
1:56:14but I I I think I thought she
1:56:17away okay is that based on her schedule
1:56:21or or How
1:56:23would how would you uh well my yeah cuz
1:56:27I fly with the squatter I have access to
1:56:28the schedule
1:56:30and okay it's a slightly different
1:56:32schedule she has but that's probably how
1:56:34I do you don't know for
1:56:39sure I think that's probably how I know
1:56:43okay so you go to our
1:56:45house and what do you do that night the
1:56:48first
1:56:50night look around and
1:56:56U make sure that she was living

2:04:11lengths two lengths of the same green
2:04:14rope and were they both
2:04:18used uh well I I only ever had one with

2:04:26lengths of rope okay see you Tire tie
2:04:30her up how did you tie her up when you
2:04:32after sub
2:04:33do okay and what is she wearing at that
2:04:37point she wasn't wearing anything to
2:04:39start
2:04:40with so when she came down to the
2:04:42basement she had no clothes on M she had
2:04:45some sort of a Shaw over her

2:05:34like I know you used the Rope but what
2:05:36what did you tie her up like just told
2:05:39her to put her like pulled her hands
2:05:41behind her back and just tied her wrists

2:05:57did she go upstairs under her own power
2:05:58or did you carrier no she passed out to
2:06:03on the

2:06:25her put her on the bed
2:06:28okay and then what

2:06:41uh well as I described I think
2:06:44I she's on the bed I raped
2:06:48her over a period of time
2:06:53and again just to be specific what what
2:06:55sex acts took place

2:07:09no did you rectly at any point with her
2:07:12no
2:07:15okay
2:07:18um but just before I forget you I think
2:07:20I asked you
2:07:22you don't mean to bounce around on you
2:07:24hear us but with Jessica I asked you
2:07:27about ejaculation you said you didn't at
2:07:29that point when did you ejaculate with
2:07:32Jessica
2:07:34um the second time or third time that I
2:07:38had
2:07:39her for moral
2:07:42sex and was that at her residence or
2:07:45yours hers okay any other times that you
2:07:49ejaculated with her no
2:07:53okay
2:07:55um when you ejaculated with Jessica did
2:07:58you use anything to clean up
2:08:01or
2:08:05no what happened to the
2:08:09ejaculate she swallowed
2:08:13it um so getting back to Marie fron it's
2:08:17just straight vaginal sex no condom no
2:08:20ejaculation is that right yeah
2:08:23okay um how long does that go
2:08:27for like how long where you engaged in
2:08:30that
2:08:35activity uh
2:08:39well hour and a half two hours
2:08:43yes okay and then what happens
2:08:50next well well as I described I
2:08:52suffocated her using um duct
2:08:59tape why did you decide to to do
2:09:10that well again because of the
2:09:14pictures I described to you it would if
2:09:17um it was going to be a pretty straight
2:09:20line back to Tweed
2:09:25okay but why why why did you decide to
2:09:27use that method versus something
2:09:41else I had
2:09:45uh thought about strangling her
2:09:50earlier
2:09:54that's on the
2:09:56video what
2:09:57is my
2:10:01uh
2:10:04well it was a short shortlived attempt
2:10:07CU she struggled quite a
2:10:11bit then
2:10:14I decided that I needed to suffocate
2:10:20her so there was a short lift attempt at
2:10:24Strangler and what's on the video the
2:10:26Suffocation or the
2:10:28Strangling well just me putting my hand
2:10:30on her
2:10:37throat and then her responding
2:10:41yeah surprise very
2:10:45aggressively okay any videos of the uh
2:10:50the Suffocation part pictures of
2:10:55that um now you you mentioned that you
2:10:57brought the rope with you where did the
2:10:58duct tapate come from I brought it
2:11:02okay and what did you do with it
2:11:07afterwards I think it
2:11:10uh it state in
2:11:13tweet what color abduct tape we talking
2:11:16about I know it comes in a variety of
2:11:17colors but great
2:11:20great
2:11:23um so
2:11:25before uh the Suffocation um obviously
2:11:28how long do you think you were with
2:11:31her from the point well how long do you
2:11:34think you were in that house from the
2:11:35point you went in that window to the
2:11:37point you
2:11:40left probably
2:11:43um 4
2:11:45hours okay so correct me if I'm wrong
2:11:49did you say you were got there at 11 11
2:11:52or around 11: I think that's right
2:11:57okay so you we left around 300 in the
2:12:03morning well I was in the basement for
2:12:05quite a while before she came down and
2:12:09she wasn't going to bit so I was
2:12:12probably in the basement for 30 40
2:12:14minutes
2:12:15okay
2:12:17so by the
2:12:20time she saw me it was probably closer
2:12:23to
2:12:25midnight all
2:12:27right um but I didn't have a watch sh so
2:12:30I'm not
2:12:34sure any
2:12:44gloves I don't think
2:12:46so did you wear gloves with
2:12:49Jessica uh only to get in the
2:12:52house it's a very cold
2:12:57night and what about the two women in uh
2:13:00in Tweed
2:13:03not so while you're with Marie
2:13:07fron what kind of conversations are
2:13:09taking place anything in she said to you
2:13:12stick out in your mind no I tap her
2:13:15mouth there was no
2:13:17conversation okay when did you tape her
2:13:20mouth
2:13:23as soon as I got her up to the bedroom
2:13:25why did you decide to do
2:13:26that because she was
2:13:33uh you know quite
2:13:37aggressive in what way I was confident
2:13:40she was uh would have screened given the
2:13:47chance what way she did initially did
2:13:50she okay in the
2:13:52basement so in what way was she
2:13:54aggressive well just
2:13:57in when she discovered me she was very
2:14:01vocal screamed quite a
2:14:05bit until I subdued her so I expected
2:14:08she would scream again give him the
2:14:11chance
2:14:13okay do you remember how you left her
2:14:20residence back
2:14:22door patio
2:14:24door
2:14:26okay did you take anything with you that
2:14:30night some of her

2:34:43uh do you think it would have happened

2:34:53I was hoping not that I can't answer the
2:34:57question
2:35:00okay
2:35:01um not too much here R just a few
2:35:04details that wanted to cover
2:35:07off specifically deing with Marie
2:35:10France
2:35:12um in the basement of her house uh
2:35:16there's a hole in the uh
2:35:18drywall
2:35:20do you recall how that
2:35:22happened
2:35:24whereabouts uh I don't know specifically
2:35:26but it's
2:35:28downstairs I don't remember that okay do
2:35:32you remember doing anything with her in
2:35:33the basement uh where you may have used
2:35:35some clothing or something to uh to
2:35:38secure
2:35:39her yeah I tied her up against one of
2:35:42the uh poles in the basement
2:35:47initially I went outside and put the
2:35:50screen back on and secured the
2:35:53window okay while she was tied to the
2:35:56pool yep and what was your thinking
2:35:58behind doing that at that
2:36:00point just to cover up how I'd come in
2:36:06okay um now by the time she's tied to
2:36:09that poll is that in the very initial
2:36:11few minutes kind of thing of the
2:36:12confrontation or there was shortly after
2:36:15I subdued her and TI her up yes okay
2:36:18does she have the duct tape on her mouth
2:36:19yet
2:36:24yet I think probably okay pictures will
2:36:28show
2:36:29it all right now in the upstairs
2:36:32bathroom by her bedroom there's uh looks
2:36:36like something's occurred in there
2:36:38remember that yep what happened there
2:36:41she had passed out on the bed and I had
2:36:44gone to look out the front window see if
2:36:47anybody was coming and
2:36:51uh she got up and closed the bedroom
2:36:54door and raced into the bathroom trying
2:36:56to uh get somebody's
2:37:00attention but her mouth was taped and
2:37:02her hands were
2:37:04tied what did you do as a result of that
2:37:07well I just got in
2:37:10and some do her again and got got her
2:37:13back into the bedroom I didn't do
2:37:16anything just regain control of her
2:37:20okay if I remember correctly there's a
2:37:22bit there's a bit of blood in there do
2:37:23you know where that blood would have how
2:37:25that that would have occurred all the
2:37:26blood was
2:37:28from the initial hits as I was trying to
2:37:31subdue her okay her skin breaking with
2:37:35the blows to Red okay do you recall
2:37:38blood being in the bathroom no actually
2:37:41I didn't have the light on in there
2:37:42but doesn't surprise me
2:37:46okay um there's a pair of underwear in
2:37:49some socks on the floor of that bathroom
2:37:52that belonged to her do you remember how
2:37:54they got there remember seeing them
2:37:58see what do you recall doing to her
2:38:01breasts it's pretty clear that there was
2:38:03some something happened to her breasts
2:38:05do you remember what that might have
2:38:08been no I I certainly touched her
2:38:10breasts I didn't do anything to hurt
2:38:13them I remember that no
2:38:16okay all right um
2:38:21Ora now when I suffocated her she was on
2:38:25her her her front so may have been
2:38:30something there but what do you
2:38:33mean well she was lying on the floor in
2:38:35the bedroom as I suffocated her and
2:38:37obviously struggled may have been in
2:38:39there that something happened but I
2:38:41didn't do anything specifically to her
