Camouflaged Killer





Camouflaged Killer.

Take a terrifying leap into the mind of this serial sex killer

Colonel Russell Williams was a distinguished base commander for the largest Canadian air force installation in the country.

He was a trusted soldier - one who had personally piloted prime ministers, dignitaries, and members of the royal family. A husband to a proud and loyal wife who herself commanded respect as an executive for a well-known humanitarian foundation.

He was a brother to a distinguished doctor, and a stepson to one of the world’s most prominent nuclear physicists.

A man who had grown up in a government-created “utopian” town, attended a prestigious boarding school, played trumpet in his high school band, and later earned an economics and political sciences degree from the University of Toronto.

He owned a $700,000 home in an exclusive neighborhood of the nation’s capital, and a quaint cottage hideaway in the country.


Author David A. Gibb began to research not only Williams’s terrible crimes, and his seemingly uneventful childhood, but also his twisted psychological state.

To take the terrifying leap into the mind of this serial sex killer, he solicited the assistance of some of North America’s most noted experts on the criminal mind – including forensic psychiatrists and FBI and RCMP criminal profilers.

It would take several months of dedicated research to gain the type of understanding that David sought, and to seek answers for the many questions that begged to be asked, such as:

  • Why was Williams willing to risk it all - career, prestige, and family - to rape and kill?
  • How was he able to lead a double life and fly under everyone's radar?
  • What caused his perverted and sadistic behaviors?
  • Why did he start his crime spree at such a late age? What was the trigger?
  • Did porn play a role in fueling his desires?
  • What disorders did he suffer from?
  • Was he a psychopath? A pedophile?
  • How did his "level of evil" compare with that of other noted serial killers?
  • Could Williams have been treated?
  • What I learned along my journey was both interesting and deeply disturbing. I have dedicated a good portion of the book specifically to the psychological analysis of this most unusual offender (please note that the Irish and UK editions do not contain this section).
