@didyouknowcrime_: Some say he was a decorated hero trusted with Canada's largest air base. Others say the uniform hid a predator who betrayed everyone who served under him. Where do you stand? Russell Williams was a colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force and an elite pilot who had flown the Queen, the prime minister and other dignitaries. In July 2009 he took command of CFB Trenton, Canada's largest military air base. Behind the uniform, investigators later found, he had been breaking into homes near his own houses in Ottawa, Tweed and Belleville since 2007, and his crimes had escalated over time. In February 2010, police matched tire tracks and boot prints at the home of Jessica Lloyd to Williams, and after a ten hour interrogation he confessed. On October 18, 2010, in Belleville, he pleaded guilty to 88 charges: the first degree murders of Jessica Lloyd, 27, and Corporal Marie-France Comeau, 37, two sexual assaults and forcible confinements, and 82 break ins. He was sentenced to two concurrent life terms with no parole eligibility for 25 years, and he was stripped of his rank and medals.
