More than three hours into his interrogation, when Col. Russell Williams knew he was caught, he worried about what was happening to his wife and their “brand new house.”
Det. Sgt. Jim Smyth, part of the Ontario Provincial Police behavioural-sciences unit, had slowly and steadily brought Williams to the realization that they knew. About the two sexual assaults of his neighbours. About the murders of Jessica Lloyd 10 days before and Marie-France Comeau two months before.
He’d come in confidently at 3 p.m. on Feb. 7, 2010, to the police interrogation room in Ottawa, the court heard Wednesday on the third day of Williams’ hearing on 88 criminal charges. View full article »

“He’s just a very twisted individual; there’s no two ways about it,” said retired lieutenant-general Angus Watt, who once promoted Williams.
“He was able to lead an elaborate double life and was able to keep it successfully concealed. This was the act of a depraved individual and really has no reflection on the men and women of the Canadian Forces.”
The disgraced cross-dressing commander of Canada’s largest air force base pleaded guilty on Monday to 86 lurid sex crimes, including two murders that “stunned” the military.
Colonel Russell Williams, 47, a married pilot who once flew the jet used to ferry Canada’s prime minister as well as the British royal family on a visit, displayed no emotion as he admitted to his crimes in a courtroom in Belleville, Ontario. View full article »
Crime scene tape surrounds 62 Cosy Cove Lane, owned by CFB Trenton commander Colonel Russell Williams and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Harriman.
The man Mary Elizabeth Harriman knew in her life was not the man who’s life is under scrutiny for the world to see. He would hold her hand on walks. They went on vacations, they golfed together, normal couple things that would raise no suspicions.
The two wed in June 1991 in a ceremony in Winnipeg. They were a power couple, with no children, and, due to the nature of Williams’ job, they spent periods of time apart. View full article »
Yonni Barrios, 50, hugs his mistress after exiting and becoming the 20th miner to be rescued from the San Jose mine near Copiapo, Chile on Oct. 13, 2010
The world watched and waited as one miner after another was resurrected from the depths of the caved in gold and copper mine in San Jose. Riveted to their seats, holding their breath while one by one was brought to safety. Enough drama for any one individual you would think, when speaking in terms of being buried alive for over two months.

The layers of deception run deep; outwardly you would be none the wiser
Random snippets of real life drama with an ex-husband who lived to lie and cheat and cover his tracks and situations where he financially, emotionally and physically abused. As in many things in life, the truth was buried…buried deep within the layers of the infamous cheater who we will call Onion Boy (O.B. for short). We will strip away the layers for all to see the loser is not the victim but the man who believes he can lie so well that he will never be caught…
My days spent with my daughter were and have continued to be the most amazing times that I have been privileged
to have with the exception of the last seven years in which I have had the joy of sharing those times with an amazing guy who takes the dramas from O.B. in stride. Thankfully. We are blessed, at long last, with some sanity in our lives. But, there was a road to be travelled long before this serenity kicked in.
In those days of baby formula and diapers, the dramas were at an all time high. View full article »
He thought his wife, Belleville’s police chief, was having an affair with the city’s mayor.
Chief of Police Cory McMullan is seen in this image courtesy the Belleville Police Service.
Fuelled by a jealous rage, a screaming David McMullan threw Cory McMullan to the ground, dragged her by the hair and struck her repeatedly, leaving her with a broken arm and multiple bruises.
Then he summoned their teenaged daughter to the family garage, saying, “Look what I caught,” and struck his wife again with an object as she lay on the concrete floor. View full article »

Tyler Clementi, 18, committed suicide after video posted online
The internet is filled with stories of teens and their exploits, leaving a parent to question if their kid is capable of some of those same heartless and malicious shenanigans or perhaps in a position where they can be so easily victimized. Stories that are driven home by a case out of Rutgers University this past week. A real life tragedy where an 18-year-old freshman committed suicide after his roommate allegedly broadcast the young man’s sexual encounter with another man over the Internet.

Witness claims wife had sought refuge in women's shelter prior to murder.

Serena and Sophia Campione, small victims of a bitter child custody battle
protect yourself and those who you hold dearest; take the first steps at www.cheateralert.com
A judge called for a break in court yesterday as jurors became blurry-eyed and turned their heads away from the photos of the two dead children that were shown in detail.
Projected on a large screen, were the photos of little Serena, 3 and Sophia, 19 months, after they had been drowned in a bathtub and then placed in their mother’s bed.
Their mother, Elaine Campione, 35, is charged with the first-degree murder of her two little girls, who were found dead in the mother’s Coulter Street apartment in Barrie on Oct. 4, 2006. But her lawyer is arguing that she is not criminally responsible because she was not sane at the time she drowned them. View full article »

Wilde says, "the next thing I know I have my hands around her neck."
A voice told him to do it, he said in court.
This is what the father accused of strangling his eight-year-old daughter in her North York bedroom told a Toronto courtroom during his murder trial Friday.
“It was the voice that started it,” Richard Wilde spoke of Oct. 18, 2007, the day he killed his daughter, Megan.
Wilde, whose defence lawyer is claiming he was not criminally responsible for Megan’s death, told the University Ave. courtroom how his daughter had a bath and read him a bedtime story. View full article »

The two young victims of a bitter custody battle
Court records have been unsealed in the case of Leo and Frances Elaine Campione. The unhappy husband and wife were thrust into the spotlight two weeks ago, when the mother of one-year-old Sophia and three-year-old Serena was arrested and accused of killing the children.
A judge ordered their records sealed for several weeks after revelations that the distraught wife had accused her husband of abusing her.
Those documents were opened Tuesday and they show Frances Campione alleging her spouse began attacking her when she was pregnant with Serena. She tried to hide out at a woman’s shelter and papers indicate she had various injuries on her head and legs consistent with a beating.
Pictures taken when she checked in show the young mom with bruises on her face, arms and legs. “I have been sick to my stomach for two months now, but since I got to the shelter I can eat now,” she told a nurse at the centre.
She contends her husband beat her for years and charges he pummeled her “bloody” in front of her children, once slapping Serena so hard he also drew blood.
But even though she apparently applied for court permission to relocate her young brood to New Brunswick, where her family was located, and despite the allegations she’d made against Leo, she later showed up at the Woodbridge home of her husband’s parents, seeking sanctuary.
She then underwent at least a week of psychiatric care. That was in October 2005. The murders took place a year later.
In the interval, Campione charged her husband with assault, a case that was supposed to go to court the day after police were called to her Barrie apartment and discovered her children’s murders.
Francis Elaine Campione was hospitalized twice for psychiatric problems and each time the Children’s Aid Society took charge of the children, then released them back to her.
Leo Campione denies the assault charges and insists his wife’s fragile mental health and the accusations currently against her are signs she’s not credible.
Friends who knew the couple in Bradford indicate they never saw anything wrong and recall the husband as a man who doted on his children.
Police have yet to reveal how the two little girls were killed and their mother remains in custody facing two counts of first degree murder. She’s back in court at the end of November.
*Comment posted by Galaxy on Sept. 14th, 2010 says the following:
“Such A Tragedy
The knowledge I have of Leo..is that he clearly abused Elaine in every way possible!! It makes me angry and disappointed in the system that he got away with it!! It makes me angry, saddened and disappointed that the system failed Elaine too!!! It makes me angry, saddened and disappointed that Elaine took the lives of those innocent little girls!!!”
*another comment from Anonymous on Sept. 11,2010 follows:
“I spent one month with Elaine in a womens shelter in Barrie, we spent much time together, our girls played together, I saw the bruises, and I also saw how much she loved her kids…after the abuse she endured, and being alienated from her family and having no friends, who wouldn’t be having trouble coping. She feared for her children, and who wouldn’t. I think she just hit her limit. I think about her and her girls often. It is very tragic.”
Was Elaine a woman driven to this end or was she indeed a “mentally fragile” woman or was she a woman beaten down so far that she failed to realize the scope of her actions? Perhaps we will never know. If abused, how far would she go to ensure her daughters did not suffer the same fate at her ex husband’s hands. Or was her ex husband the victim of a woman who took away his rights as a father? It’s now falls into the hands of the court of law to decide and weigh-in the evidence.

Katie Callaway Hall, circa 1970's
Protection and prevention is what www.cheateralert.com is all about. Registering relationships, good and bad, can save someone else the pain that you experienced.
Katie first encountered Phillip Garrido back in November of 1976. That’s when Katie learned firsthand how evil and manipulative Garrido can be.
Katie Callaway Hall (Katie) was just 25 years old and working in a casino in South Lake Tahoe, California, when on November 22, 1976, she was kidnapped by Garrido outside of a supermarket, handcuffed, tied, and driven in her own car to a mini-warehouse in Nevada.
For the next eight hours, she was repeatedly raped and assaulted by Garrido until, miraculously, she was rescued by a policeman who noticed a broken lock on the building and investigated it. A frightened young woman who believed she was going to die at the hands of Garrido as he held her captive.
She had been imprisoned in a room specially designed for rape and torture. Garrido had created a maze of hanging carpets that concealed a mattress he had hidden deep inside.
Katie Callaway Hall, recent photo
Garrido, who was only a year older than Katie, had clearly already started stalking and assaulting women; she learned later at his trial that she was actually the second woman he had attacked that very evening. The first had somehow managed to escape him. Katie wasn’t as lucky.
Garrido was hit with both Federal and State charges for kidnapping and rape. Katie, who only had to testify at the federal trial, still bristles when she remembers how Garrido’s defense attorney tried to place the blame on her, questioning what she wore the night she was kidnapped.
Still, Garrido was found guilty and sentenced to fifty years to life in federal court and later pleaded guilty to state charges which added another life sentence. That should have been the end of the story, but just eleven years later, in 1988, while working at a table in casino, Katie came face-to-face again with the man who ruined her life. Garrido, the convicted sex offender, the man who had been given a life sentence, had been paroled and had somehow tracked her down! He had spent 10 years in a federal prison and less than a year in a state institution and was released to a halfway house.
Katie, shocked and scared, tracked down his parole officer, who admitted that he believed Garrido was likely to strike again, but trying to reassure her, told her that he doubted Garrido would go after her again.
Katie now believes, she says, that Garrido was granted early parole because the manipulative sex offender had lied to his parole officer and convinced authorities that she had been his “girlfriend” and had falsely accused him of rape.
Jaycee Lee Dugard, finally free after 18 years
This smooth manipulator went on to abduct a young Jaycee Lee Dugard. In 1991, Jayce, then 11 was forced into a car outside of her California home by an unidentified man and woman.
Her stepfather Carl Probyn watched the abduction in horror. He gave chase, but the car sped out of sight. Jaycee was not heard from again for 18 years.
For these long years, Garrido managed to elude detection as he pulled off what authorities are calling an unfathomable crime, kidnapping Jaycee, keeping her as his secret sex slave for nearly two decades and fathering her two children.
Katie Callaway Hall wants to see Garrido behind bars this time for life so he can no longer hurt women as he did her and Jaycee.
As for Jaycee, her mother and her two daughters are focused on becoming a family again, undergoing therapy – including horseback riding – together.
The family are also spending time reading, cooking, and simply being together again. Their spokeswoman told the magazine that under the circumstances their new life so far has been surprisingly normal
Jaycee’s mother had this to say about her daughter, ‘She knows this is not going to be the easiest road that she’s ever traveled, but she is just very upbeat, giddy that she’s with her family.’
Nevertheless the family appear determined to move forward. For the time being, keeping the world at an arm’s length appears to be a key part of their recovery as they rebuild their relationship.

Arvind Kumar Sanmugam has been charged with defrauding several single women across Canada.
A Toronto man allegedly used online dating services to meet single women — some of them senior citizens — and scam them out of $1.5 million, Toronto Police said Monday.
The 49-year-old man typically pretended to be a businessman or a venture capitalist as he targetted women across the country, police alleged.
“The investigation was initiated when a widowed senior from Vancouver complained she was bilked of her life savings, forced to sell her home and live in a rented apartment,” police said.
Few details were released about how the View full article »
