This story is just rocking Canada right now... :-(

I heard on the news today that when this guy was brought in for questioning by the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) he was warned and offered counsel. He refused a lawyer. Even after they started talking to him about the matching tire track, etc - he refused a lawyer, admitted to the crimes...the first thing he told them is that he wanted to protect his wife.

He can receive a military pension...some have been outraged by that, but somewhat saner heads have noted that his wife deserves at least some of that money (I think ALL of it!).

Just...so mind boggling....

ETA: When this story first broke, it was noted that everyone was rallying around his wife. I cannot imagine what she is going through. I am so glad she has good people around her.

Horrific. Simply, inexcusably, horrific.

I wonder, sometimes, upon closer inspection, how much was 'hidden' vs. 'untold'. I guess I just don't understand how someone can be 'normal' 99% of the time, and deviant 1%. Did people really not suspect something was amiss? Did his wife not wonder about things?

I am appalled by what this nut job has done!! Locking him up for the remainder of his pathetic life is too good for him.

He apparently kept his video 'journals' on hard drives hidden in the rafters in the basement. At his first interview, he told police where to find the drives (as well as all the female lingerie he had stolen and collected), and told them where the one woman's body was.

From all the stories I have read, there is no sense of anything being 'untold'. Serial sexual predators/killers have often been defined as coming from a certain station in life. This guy made it to the rank of Colonel and presented very very well. He started off with breakins and over time moved to riskier and riskier actions...it was a gradual thing.

Perhaps in some sick way he was relieved to be caught. He certainly confessed without much prodding. WEIRD.

That was SICK! He don't need life, he needs to have done to him what he did to that defensless woman and make him beg for his life before they kill him!
