18. KILLER IN CAMOUFLAGE: The Crimes of Russell Williams (Ontario)

Whose Crime Is It Anyway?

In 2007, police became aware of a string of break-ins with very particular similarities; women’s underwear were going missing. Police were beginning to worry that this intruder would soon escalate his crimes, putting these women in danger…and they were right. When they finally caught the person responsible, it shocked the country because this was a prestigious, well-respected man, and the last person anyone could have suspected. This is the case of ex-colonel Russell Williams.
