How can the most unimaginable evil hide in plain sight? Russell Williams was a decorated air force colonel in charge of Canada's largest military airbase. A model officer and an elite pilot, he commanded the respect and loyalty of the thousands of soldiers who served under him. He was widely regarded as an upstanding member of the community, a good boss, a caring husband and a lover of animals. Russell Williams was a man you could trust. But behind the façade of respectability, Williams was struggling with sado-sexual urges that would ultimately prove catastrophic. As he began to play out his fantasies, his crimes quickly escalated from spying on girls and young women, to stealing their underwear, to bizarre sexual assaults, which he photographed and documented in detail. Undetected by the police, his deviant behaviour spiralled further out of control and he committed two violent rapes and murders, holding his victims captive and filming them as he subjected them to the most unimaginable cruelty. Evil in Plain Sight is the disturbing true account of how one of Canada's highest-ranking military officers became the country's most notorious criminal. David A. Gibb examines the man and the crimes and shows how the most ordinary of men can commit the most brutal of atrocities. He details the police response to Williams' twisted crime spree, including his ultimate capture, and the shocking courtroom evidence that left Canada reeling.
