Baltovich wants Williams probed for Bain murder

Robert Baltovich wants to know whether there is any connection between Col. Russell Williams and the murder of Elizabeth Bain.

Baltovich spent eight years in jail, wrongly convicted of that murder.

He said his hair stood on end earlier this week when he heard Williams, now accused of murdering two women, attended the University of Toronto Scarborough campus " the same campus Bain vanished from in June 1990.

In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Baltovich said the feeling he had when he learned about Williams’ case matched the one he had in jail when he heard about Paul Bernardo. Bernardo, later convicted of murder, was active as the Scarborough rapist during the late 1980s. But in an interview with police years later, he denied having anything to do with Bain’s murder.

Her body was never found.

Though police have said the Bain case is closed, Baltovich wants investigators to follow up on any possible links to Williams.

“The thought did occur to me that he was a runner and Liz was an avid runner who, even before she started her studies there, regularly jogged on campus so if he ran anywhere near the campus he would have certainly had many opportunities to see and/or meet her,” Baltovich said in an e-mail exchange with the Sun.

Police across the country have said they are investigating several cold cases to determine if Williams’ life intersects with them.

In the case of Bain, Williams already had left U of T.

Williams graduated from U of T with a degree in economics and politics in 1987 and by 1990 had his wings and was posted to the Canadian Forces Flying Training School in Manitoba as an instructor.

But Baltovich said he was astonished about the similarities in the two men’s early lives.

“I just can’t get over the fact that both (Williams) and Bernardo are the same age, both (allegedly) began as rapists, both (allegedly) progressed to murder ... neither was raised by their real fathers, both studied at UTSC at the same time.

“And I was walking the halls with these guys.”

Baltovich wants to know who killed his girlfriend.

He spent eight years in prison before being released on an appeal he ultimately won, and being found not guilty after a second trial in 2008 where the Crown called no evidence,

“Bernardo has a reason to deny responsibility for the murders and for Liz (if he did it) given that in his mind if he can portray himself as a “reformed” rapist and not a murderer he could conceivably get paroled,” Baltovich said. “However, Willliams must know that if he’s guilty ... he will spend the rest of life in prison.”

****************************************************

last night the news was reporting about the connection between williams and bernardo, they were both economics students together and graduated the same year, bernardo was always considered a suspect in the bain murder because of he lived in close proximity to her, however now that williams has come to light, it seems he lived even closer

No doubt there will be a movie that totally misrepresents the facts. Fact is stranger than fiction. Would anyone have found the non-stereotype killer believable in a novel ?

Col. Russell Williams has pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder along with two counts each of sexual assault and unlawful confinement as well as dozens of break-ins and attempted break-ins.

Williams, 47, was arraigned Monday in Ontario Superior Court in Belleville, Ont., on the murder charges in the deaths of Jessica Lloyd, 27, and Cpl. Marie-France Comeau, 38.

The former commander of Canadian Forces Base Trenton, in eastern Ontario, who was wearing a dark suit and grey button-down shirt, quietly pleaded: “Guilty, your honour.”

He faces an automatic sentence of life in prison, with no possibility of parole for at least 25 years.

Crown attorney Lee Burgess told the court Williams had pleaded guilty to some "very serious crimes."

"In relation to each of the murders of Comeau and Lloyd, his crimes have been deliberate, both in course of committing a sexual assault, and while he confined his victims," Burgess said.

"Given the seriousness of charges, it's important for the court to have a full account of the facts. These facts will be extremely disturbing. The evidence will cause further emotional pain for loved ones of victims."

Lloyd's mother, Roxanne, and her brother, Andy, sat in the courtroom staring at Williams, showing virtually no emotion. Lloyd's mother held a large framed photo of her daughter.

Also looking on were Belleville’s police chief, OPP lead investigator Chris Nicholas, as well as roughly 40 victims and family members, including Williams’s second sexual assault victim, Laurie Massicotte.

An agreed statement of facts was read out in court tracing the chronology and escalation of Williams's offences.

According to that statement, Williams lived with his wife in Ottawa. In 2004, he purchased a cottage in Tweed, Ont.

Following his appointment as Trenton base commander in charge of 3,000 people, he lived in Tweed during the week and went to his Ottawa home on weekends.

The investigation into the crimes began after Lloyd's disappearance. Williams was interviewed in relation to the crimes on Feb. 7, 2010.

Undetected Incidents

The interview revealed his involvement in the deaths of Comeau and Lloyd. Subsequent interviews implicated him in 82 break-ins. Only 17 homeowners reported their homes had been broken into, while 61 incidents went undetected or unreported until Williams's arrest. Most break-ins occurred at night, many after midnight.

Williams would place lingerie in boxes or bags when he got home. Once he accumulated too many, he would destroy them. He also modelled the lingerie and took pictures of himself and masturbated.

Burgess said Williams's behaviour was obsessive, both in the number of break-ins and in the meticulous manner in which he dealt with stolen clothes.

In the public gallery, there were audible gasps and heads shook in disgust as the court was shown photos of Williams naked in a girl's bed, masturbating with girl's clothing as he took photos of himself.

The photographs were put in a complex file folder system and were date-stamped. The folder system gave a sense of how long Williams was in homes and what he did. He kept a log that stated the nature of the offences and stored evidence of the murders and break-ins on two hard drives. Police found them stored above the ceiling in the basement of his Ottawa home.
