I wonder if RW's lawyer is rushing this case to finish before any further DNA testing of cold cases is complete and also before the Government gets around to making changes to sentencing for serial killers.

Does anyone else recall reading in a recent article(last 2 weeks) about LE not investigating any cold cases yet in regards to RW???. If thats the case, RW's DNA would not have been tested on these cases YET. I have a feeling that his DNA is going to keep LE busy for a few years.

RW and MEH purchased the house on Edison on Dec 17, 2009 They were having construction done so I am wondering when they actually moved in?

They moved in just a few days before Christmas—a month after Comeau was killed, and a month before Lloyd went missing. They had been there barely a month (and Williams mostly on weekends) when cops came looking for the stolen lingerie.

ITA. It's hard to imagine them meeting even for a short period of time without anyone remembering. It's not as if one of them would immediately discover that they had this "interest" in common. ("Hi, there! My name is PB. I like to rape and kill. How about you? Really? Cool! Let's be secret pals!")

Even if they had a secret friendship that no one knew about, with one serving a life sentence and another about to, neither has much to lose by admitting it. In fact, if there were any way to prove it, I'd bet one or both would be eager to pin blame for some of those early crimes on the other. Statistics show that almost all organized serial killers work alone. That PB managed to hook up with KH was already an anomaly.

Of course PB would not be introducing himself like that. However it does not take a stretch in imagination to consider that they may have crossed paths on public transportation or in an environment amongst strangers. A conversation could have began like this PB: "Aren't you that guy that breaks into other peoples rooms? I heard you are really good at picking locks." (A blossoming friendship?)

This link http://watchingkarlahomolka.yuku.com/topic/2162 suggests that PB was a braggart and did tell people about his criminal affairs.

Any conclusion either way is completely presumptuous.

Somebody mentioned somewhere that PB had an Asian girlfriend. I cannot find evidence of this but if it is indeed the case then this would put them into a fairly exclusive group at the college and I find it unlikely that they would not at least know of each other.

The fact remains, we simply do not know if they know each other or not.

Thanks AG, I missed that when reading this article. It really didn't give MEH much time to stumble across or even notice the boxes of trophies with it being Christmas, her busy job PLUS a move to a new home.

Pages 32 and 38 refer to the broken window and the "oriental".

IIRC, Jeff F said to the effect that RW went with his Japanese gf until his final year at U of T (which would be 1987)

So yes, IMO it leaves one to wonder if RW's ex-oriental gf might be another connection between RW and PB IF she was also PB's ex-oriental gf, and the same ex-gf who reported PB 4 months after the window-breaking incident.

WRT the article reporting that RW and PB were pals, etc ... todate, neither the Toronto Sun nor LE have issued any statement to refute that information, and when OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino had the opportunity to refute or clarify, he did not do either ... Instead:

from: http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2010/02/11/12845766-qmi.html

When contacted about the revelation of Bernardo and Williams attending U of T Scarborough at the same time, Commissioner Julian Fantino vowed that when “new aspects come to light, the OPP will investigate.”

“We are committed to ensure that every aspect of this is investigated and looked in to,” Fantino told the Sun Thursday night. “I am very confident thanks to the great co-operation of the OPP, Belleville Police, and military investigators.”

The commissioner said cops want as much information as possible about Williams’ early years.

“We welcome any information members of the public may have on this and encourage them to contact us,” he said.

IF that oriental female is one and the same, then we have yet another pointer towards a connection between RW and PB.

I know there are those who think it is not PB in the group pic with RW, others who think it is (yours truly included), and others who are undecided. That picture was provided to the press by someone (whether LE, friends, or family). The reason it is important to determine whether it is PB or not is we have the initial assertion that there was a relationship, that assertion has not been refuted by anyone. Then we have RW's long-term friend Jeff saying to the effect "if RW knew PB I would have known PB", but we have nothing on which to base his credibility or lack thereof. IF it is PB in that pic, Jeff F is in that same pic, and we have a problem or not.

:eek:ther_beatingA_Dead
 
If it is PB in the pic, I doubt JF would deny it because the pic would speak for itself. He would have to assume that the truth would likely be exposed, and quickly.

That pic is so public that I think it would have been determined by media by now if indeed PB is present in the photo.

Although the oriental girl may be the same, statistically speaking, it is most likely two different people.
Two white guys with Asian girlfriends in 1987 would have noticed each-other if they saw the other with an Asian girlfriend. To me it adds to the things they had in common.

If it is two different girls they too would have much in common, including rocky relationships.

These guys had so much in common at that time that one must wonder.

The obvious question is: Why is there not an obvious connection? If there is a connection I think the answer would be that it is because these are two very conniving and sinister individuals.
 
Calculated timing for this particular article in the Ottawa Sun?
http://www.ottawasun.com/news/columnists/earl_mcrae/2010/10/12/15667466.html

Her voice message said she had something to tell me as a warning to all wives who think they have great husbands and great marriages.

I’d met her briefly once before, about six years ago, at an event she was involved with. She’s in her 50s, very attractive, bright, a professional.





The woman I met, and her husband, had been married 30 years. He died of a sudden, massive, heart attack. It was a shock. They’d always enjoyed good health. They jogged together, played golf together. They had an active social life. She says their sex life was good right to the end. He was a successful businessman.

“We had friends who got divorced, or had affairs, but he and I would tell each other how lucky we were, that it was never going to happen to us because we loved each other too much. We’d never cheat. Friends envied our marriage. ‘Oh, you two are just like childhood sweethearts,’ they’d say.”

When her perfect husband in the perfect marriage died, she was sorting through his belongings, deciding what to keep, what not to keep.

That’s when she found them. In a metal box he’d hidden away behind papers, at the back of the bottom drawer of a filing cabinet in his office at home. He’d covered the box in a towel and on top of the towel were papers.

She discovered he’d been having an affair for years. “There were cards and letters from a woman who only signed them with a name you couldn’t put in the paper. The last one was dated two weeks before he died. They went back seven years.

It should be noted that earlier media articles described RW's breakup with his girlfriend who was a "Japanese exchange student" at the U. of T. Similarly, PB's "oriental" girlfriend was also a student at U. of T.

RW is alleged to have stalked his victims. If RW stalked his ex-girlfriend, chances are he might have known who she dated after they broke up.

PB stalked his victims.

Earlier reports also stated that RW worked for a time at a Red Lobster restaurant. PB was known to be fond of frequenting certain restaurants, although I don't recall reading which ones were his favorites. That is a missing piece of the puzzle, but another way the two could have met.
 
Media reports indicate that RW is interested in keeping some evidence out of the public realm. This was reported as a contributing factor to his guilty plea as opposed to trial.

A man of his intelligence, training and skill would have anticipated getting caught someday and prepared for it. Once he was in as deep as he was he would have realized that once LE was onto him he was going to go down. So in 2007 he began documenting evidence, Or possibly purged older evidence. His goal would have been to control how he was going to go down.

The only evidence mentioned in media reports is the evidence that RW himself has provided to LE. He basically built his own case against himself, and very thoroughly (cataloging evidence including spreadsheets).

It is apparent now that a deal exists between RW and LE. It is possible that part of the deal could include a clause that LE only use the evidence that he himself provided. It appears to be the case because other than Julian Fantino's necessary generic statement, LE appears to not be investigating any further and has even made statements as such.

There are many reasons LE would be motivated to agree to a deal like this. A trial would cost taxpayers, impact the victims, and highlight the numerous mistakes they made throughout the investigations.

If they did make a deal like this, LE would be highly motivated to keep it quiet. They would not want to be accused of making another "deal with devil".

Perhaps LE now knows that RW is indeed the woodland rapist (an example). They would not be able to disclose this because of the deal. The case of the woodland rapist would now be unofficial closed. "Unofficial" because officially closing the case would involve making the information public and violate the deal.

If LE is aware that PB and RW did know each-other then LE would be motivated to not publicly disclose this. If the public were made aware of the relationship it would immediately become obvious that RW's crimes predate 2007.

If this theory is accurate then RW has LE between a rock and a hard place. Exactly where he would have planned on putting them. And RW could avoid having to deal with the greater public shame of victimizing children or sexually victimizing his own gender.

I found this information about Elizabeth Bain. The relevant portion is in reply #3:

http://www.unsolvedcanada.ca/index.php?topic=1864.0

It says that PB had an intense hatred of women with EB's appearance, because she looked like a former girlfriend who dumped him.

Here are some photos of EB:

What is the relevance of E. Bain? or the fact that PB's intense hatred for women that looked like his ex-girlfriend? I really don't see the relevance of those two things in regards to the case we are discussing. If PB and RW knew each other, or even were friends/aquaintances, the media would have found out about it by now and mentioned it - that kind of information sells newspapers. Someone out there that would gladly share that bit of information, even if it was just to get their name in the paper for some limelight. With that being said, I believe there is no connection to PB and RW. The fact that they may have both dated an oriental woman while at University is nothing more than a coincidence (in MOO) based on the fact that there is a very large oriental population in Scaroborugh, I should know, I grew up and there and lived most of my life right around the corner from the UofT Scarborough campus.

All I know is that I'm looking forward to the sentencing next week to see what has transpired between the last court appearance and now, and whether any type of "deal" was struck between RW's counsel and the prosecution.

That's right dotr ... and in PB's residence, they actually had a room they called "the music room". I wonder if he held any jam sessions with other musicians.

ETA: Big difference tho' with PB into rap, and RW into jazz.
 
"The Ontario Superior Court will begin to consider Thursday how the media can report on the sentencing of Col. Russell Williams.

Williams is expected to appear in the Belleville, Ont., court Thursday for the pre-trial motions ahead of his Oct. 18 where his lawyer has announced he plans plead guilty to the slayings of Cpl. Marie-France Comeau, 38, and Jessica Lloyd, 27, of Belleville, as well as two sexual assaults and 82 break-in-related charges in the Quinte and Ottawa areas."

"The debate in court on Thursday is expected to focus on what should remain sealed to protect the victims and what should be released publicly and be allowed to be reported on once the sentencing hearing begins."

Here's the 800-pound gorilla in the room: this could include the suppression of any plea deals/sentencing leniency given in consideration for information provided by the defendant, thereby avoiding the infamous debacle over the "deal with the devil" in the past.
 
Reminder: We do not sleuth innocent family members or bring their names here unless they are in the MSM and connected to the case in some way. AND even then, we change all names to initials.

We do not tell each other how to post. This just makes things difficult for the mods. So - alert the post and move on.

I have removed several posts that named family members or were off topic or bossy. Please alert posts that are offensive or if you think they violate TOS. It really does make our job easier if you just hit the little red triangle in the upper right side of the post.

Thanks,

Salem

PS - If you have questions about this - send them to me or another mod in a PM. DO NOT post them in the open thread. :) Thanks Guys!

The motions being heard today are from lawyers representing the media and have absolutely nothing to do with any agreement reached on behalf of the defendant.

Today, Judge Robert Scott will be hearing motions from lawyers representing media agencies and is expected to decide how much can be reported and whether journalists will be allowed to bring electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops into the courtroom to file stories and updates.

The publication ban is to protect the victims (i.e., not publishing the name of one of the women that were sexually assaulted - the other has waived her right to have her name withheld). The ban is not to protect RW at all - he will get enough protection once he is in segregation in the Kinsgton pen (if they decide to send him there and not somewhere else in Canada).

There will not be a "deal with the devil" as RW is the only one charged with the crimes, and there will not be a trial (just a plea and then a sentence), where anyone has to testify against him (which was the reason for that deal, a reduced sentence in exchange for testifying at the trial of the co-accused).
