David Russell Williams was a trained Canadian Forces pilot with 23 year career. He was the perfect military man. He spent time all over Canada, but settled in Ottawa with his wife Mary. On January 28, 2010, 27 year old Jessica Lloyd vanished from her home in Tweed, Ontario. Investigators notice a footprint and tire tread marks in the snow next to Lloyd's home. Over the next week, police set up a check point on the highway to check the tire tread of every motorist who drove through. Williams was stopped and a one of the officers noticed the similarities between the treat on Williams' Nissan Pathfinder and the tread marks at the crime scene. On February 7, Ontario Provincial Police called Williams at his home in Ottawa and asked him to come down for questioning. In the ten hour interrogation, Williams confessed to murdering Lloyd, as well as 37 year old Marie France-Comeau, a military flight attendant. Williams also admitted to several sexual assaults and over 80 break ins. Investigators found 48 pairs of ladies underwear and bras taken during his break ins, as well as photographs of Williams wearing them. He also stated he had pedophiliac tendencies, stealing underwear from victims as young as 9 years old. Russell Williams was subsequently sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for his crimes.
