- Bob McKeown deconstructs the interrogation and shocking confession of Russell Williams. From his initial denial to the full declaration of guilt, the fifth estate deciphers one of the most compelling and distressing confessions in Canadian criminal history with the help of people who know the art of interrogation better than anyone else. For many months, the fifth estate has been following the story of Russell Williams and now is able to piece it together from the early clues to the final confession.

Anyone else just watching hours and hours of interrogation videos or just me?
Non stop, literally ever since I watched An American Murder on Friday.
Quarantine is forcing me to lol
Dude, this exactly. Blame Jim Cant Swim, way too addicting, should be an illegal drug or something..
@@sosa_afk came here to recommend JCS.
@@SinDesigns literally same haha!
When these killers start to cry after confessing or in court, they are mourning their life being over, not the life (or lives) they have taken.
So true
Yep, Karla homoka got off easy. I lost alot of respect for law enforcement at that point. SMH.
Noooo really???
And the most satisfying part is how they ruined their own lives. They sit there and sob but never seem to stop to consider "hey, maybe I shouldn't murder people?"
HOW DO YOU HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE??
I can’t stop looking at the island on his head.
Social distancing from the rest of his heid

Sometimes I rewatch this simply because of how impressive this detective is.
I do too!!! I have watched it several times.
@@juliesprik9479 detective is a genius!
@@JTCT371 Yes, he’s incredible!
Me too
I watch it approximately once per quarter. lol
It all started with “what pretending to be crazy looks like”
I think that’s how it started for all of us 🤣🤣
Lelelel
same
Same here.
Lmao I’ve found my tribe cuz same
"We need you to come to the police station today."
"Aight, lemme just grab my murder boots."
Haa heee
I mean it's the dumbness for me 🤣
Omg 😂😂😂
And when he took a look on his shoes before giving the footprints to the officer. he knew hes long gone
If I was guilty this is how it would go
Police: We need you to come by the station.
Me: Ok no problem. Around 3 pm good?
Police: Yes
Me: Hello Delta, I need a 2 pm flight. One way, please.
His barber should get 2 years.
100% not a haircut and it’s just hair loss from wearing a backwards baseball cap. At least that’s what it looks like
Just 2 years?
I wouldn't buy him a pint that's for sure 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
He’s got a ⭕️ on the front of his head😂
No, life imprisonment. Somebody needed to stop him years ago.
this interview is taught all over the world.its one of the finest examples of how a confession can be obtained without even raising your voice.absolutely amazing job.he studied Russ before this meeting.he had planned for every eventuality the conversation would take.he maintained full control the whole time.
Helps to have a lot of evidence too. Essentially he was caught without a confession
He did have a literal mountain of evidence.
@@planes3333 They had lots of evidence but tire tracks and boot prints are not "unique". It could have been a person with exactly the same type of tire and same boots. If he asked for a lawyer, he might have slipped through the cracks. So that goes to show how convincing (yet unthreatening) the detective was.
That’s actually not true I heard in an interview by this gentleman that he had very little time to prepare at all
In a perfect world yes they would have all the information that was discussed in this documentary but it wasn’t the case in this circumstance
Actually the interrogator had an interview about this.
No, he didn't plan for every eventuality, and no time to study Russ, they only have him as suspect for 2 days from tire impression. Infact, he's going in 50-50 about Russ as a suspect at the start of interview. Mind you, they don't have all the evidence yet at this point.
All they have is tire and footwear impression at mid interview, 2 set of circumstantial evidence which might be enough to convict him on Jessica, but they have nothing on other victims.
But as experienced interrogator, he knew how to respond and how to dig information based on how the other side act, then sort of going with the flow.
Your style of interrogation could change based on how the suspect, witness, or other person of interest react to you.
Of course as the interrogation goes on he became more and more suspicious, but it's only after Russ "freeze" reaction when shown footprint comparison he's 100% convinced he got the right guy.
Google "Jim Smyth Behaviour Panel"
While those girls are gone forever, that detective's amazing interrogation skills probably saved the lives of at least one or more other women who he would have murdered.
Absolutely
Yep - these losers never stop. They just get worse. Compulsion drives them to ever greater depravity. He would have gone on killing until caught.
That's right Kevin.
They had his boots and tyre prints. I don't think he was going anywhere regardless of the interviewer.
The interviewer did get the confession and location of the body which was a good outcome for the loved ones of the victims.
@@mawfish1 that's what we call circumstantial evidence. It generally speaking is inadequate to secure a conviction and there's a good chance he would have walked free. They certainly that day did not have enough evidence to arrest him.
When you watch this kind of clips you understand how small your own problems are.
AMEN to that!
was just thinking about that
Yeah but their big problems are created by their own hand.
About as small as that island of hair of his.
Yeah, gotta wash my car.
Only Canadians would announce " now the good guy cop turns bad cop " and nothing changes.
lol, perhaps the inflection of his voice changes in a barely audible way to signal to the person he's not a happy camper but a less than happy camper.
Haha my thoughts exactly
Scott Norwood lol
I just woke up everyone laughing at this comment. You're silly.
The word "Sorry" has been moved to #2 on his list of most used words.
Interviewer is absolutely awesome. The silences are immense and he plays the game perfectly. Please make sure this man’s interview becomes an art form you can teach.
@CITY Worker I think he's an instructor now. So I've heard.
@CITY Worker 😂
@@jebsmith323 I just saw something on the Internet about Jim Smyth and they were talking about how he's happily retired now. God if anybody has earned it it's that gentleman. ❤
@@Jakal-pw8yq I hope Smyth’s interrogation techniques are used to instruct those in law enforcement for a long time to come! Especially because he figured out the location of a murder suspect’s victim with the help of certain behavioral clues the suspect gave when Smyth interrogated the suspect prior to there being enough evidence for an arrest.

Kevin Crawford q
Ranks up there with "There's a camera in there, clearly" (36:10) . . . as he watches the footage of the interrogation.
lol i was just thinking the same thing
Lots of idiocy going on in this video. 37:19 "Just as if he had to get up and tell a bunch of people about the people who have just died under his command." WTF?? He's not exactly commanding a unit on the front lines ffs and never has. Tons of assumption and embellishing on this show to make it more entertaining. Also there is no brilliant interrogation here this guy was just smart enough to know he was caught, that lawyering up wouldn't save him and that cooperating would save his wife a lot of hassle. This detective quite simply just won the suspect lottery is what happened. The personality and intelligence of the suspect has as much to do or more with the outcome of an interrogation as the skill of the detective does. I don't think that this detective fooled or cajoled or outsmarted Russell Williams into confessing. Williams knew the jig was up and made a conscious choice to go the easiest route for the sake of his wife.
Come on, give the guy a break on that one. He was just making a point that the other detectives were watching as it was happening. He said 'Live feed' and then changed it to 'Camera'. The more I watch it, the more his regional accent is what makes me smile. But...I'm from near the same area of the U.S. that he is, so don't judge, lol. Yet I do get a kick out of his very Italian, St. Louis-y, Chicago-y accent.

@@dietmdew845 Apparently you don't know what "for better or for worse" means. She shares responsibility and should know that the assets must be made available to compensate the victims who seek restitution of what her husband took from them.
This soft spoken detective is probably the best I have ever seen. No yelling, no accusing, just fact and tactics like giving the guy respect, silencing himself at times and letting the guy ponder his future.
This interrogator is highly trained in interrogations and had probably done hundreds of them before this interrogation. I prefer the old days where someone like Andy Sipowicz would take a child molester or wife beater into an interrogation room with no cameras and use a little force to get answers out of them. Of course in the backwoods of Maine, we have our own justice system that operates outside of the law, when it comes to child molesters.
@@richardmilliken8705 No you don't. Tons of chimos in Maine. One of the most famous TCAP predators is Lorne Armstrong from central Maine in fact.
I’m glad that they got him. He seems to hate other people. As if everyone is nothing to him.
He reminds me of the guy in Moneyball. Brad Pitt's "yes man".
@Richard Milliken Good ole sipowicz 😂👍🇦🇺🍻
10% of the comments: Amazing interrogator!

You mean ....hair island.
I take it as further proof of that other statistic - that 95% of everything is crap.

🤣
wow, watched this 3 years ago, still watching the crime confessions but always come back to revist Detective Smith's flawless extraction. See you all again in a few years.
Flawless execution of providing the mountain of evidence lol.
The skill of this interviewer is unbelievable. I cannot fathom that there are people in this world who do this for a living. The sheer mental strength to speak to someone who had committed such crimes for 10 hours.
He knew he had his guy before that murderous bstard even entered the room
Yeah, agreed. It’s impressive. Some of these interrogators are remarkable people.
Yes I must admit I would be sorely tempted to go the Vic Mackey route.
Dude slices like a hammer. Amazing, very good at his job.
It's horrendous to think someone like this man who was respected by so many people, can be so evil.
It wasn't just the fact he creeped into women's homes, it was the torture he inflicted on these terrified women before he killed them, it upsets me to think about that.
The evil cnt would then go to work at the base acting normal and watch people, including women, salute him as they passed.
God bless the man that saw the SUV parked beside Jessica's house and for coming forward too... that was the starting point of solving this case.
So many people would have never noticed it. Thank God he did!
Roger that! He probably saved so many more lives by helping catch this perv.
True many people in his position would have been afraid to come forward as they could be viewed as a suspect. So much respect for that noble person
Jessica was pretty maybe he was interested in her too
Hands down all due to those two men. Thank goodness and great work by the Detective here.
“Call me Russ please.” His mother probably called him Russell when he was in trouble.
@Denis Ayotte A rather random accusation. Do you have any genealogical evidence to back this claim? Apart from the fact Colonel Russ is likely the result of excessive in-breeding?
@Denis Ayotte ...........Or prince Andrew.......probably big mates of Jim Saville.
Doxie Mom mommy issues probably explains the affinity for cross dressing and lingerie too.
So even a psychopath can care about someone?! Thank God his love for his wife - that was the game changer
Great observation OG S1MPSON
I feel like this Canadian detective is the greatest ever. Amazing job, sir
That little "hair island" is really annoying.
The Smiths it's all I could look at...
I thought it was just me! I just wanted to get some clippers and get rid of it.
Rover Andover not just you :) Reminds me of my country Australia!!!
lol lol man thats good
It is called a 'flies blancket'around knee cap's skins hat.)
“A smart man being out-smarted by a smarter man” ...absolutely..brilliant piece of work
Smart men lawyer up, he was a fool
Cassandra Smith I disagree because the man broke into 15 houses and stole 500 pairs of panties and got away with it some houses he hit twice. Cops are a day late and a dollars short the damage is done 2 woman killed. They should have takin the small crimes slot more seriously a man stealing just underwear and nothing else shows this is a man living a regular life with a job and possibly wife and kids and makes him very dangerous
He scored the touchdown its way to latewould be more impressive to get him before he killed.
@@Mineo644 I wouldn't like to call a sexual predator and killer, a smart man..but he did evade being caught for a time. But then the interrogation starts very friendly and builds up to a point that it stifles him and he is at a loss for words. The interrogator corners him beautifully. Unfortunately, some innocent women's lifes were taken by a ruthless man; a man who was in the military. Glad he was caught before he could do more damage.
If he was really smart he would had covered his tracks.
"Can you be discrete?" Sure we are just gonna post it on youtube, with a thumbnail of you in a dress. lol
Bert Ramsay Bahahahahaha! This comment section has absolutely killed me. The video was so disturbing and he’s such a psychopath so to come to the comments and hear everyone making fun of him and so on...It has made my day.
Lmao
hahahahaha
😝😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i am dead. Hahahaha that made my day
🤣very good hahahaha
The fact that the police interrogator to this day has not built upon or monetised this interview for his own personal gain speaks volumes his integrity and professionalism
He can't because he doesn't own the rights to it.
wtf your suggestion is so degenerate and vile that not doing it is not a sign of integrity but that of not being a dirty conscience-less thug. It shows your standard for integrity and professionalism is at abysmal low level. Of course no decent cop should do that.
Meanwhile the LAPD detective who was the only person convicted of any crime in the OJ Simpson case is all over Fox News

@@Justin.D.DC4L u mad?
The barber should receive a life sentence.
This detective is unbelievably brilliant! He calmly brought the confession out of a trained officer. This interrogation video should be in the syllabus of all training institutions.
Right he played his cards perfectly. He needs to train interrogators.
It is.....
Tbh it wasn’t that great of one. He did good but he didn’t have to use very many techniques. An interrogation where the deceive has to use several would be a much better training video.

The overconfidence of the narrator over simple information and “in-depth” review of the interview makes me realize just how good JCS videos are.
not to mention those 30s black screens for dramatic effect
100% Agree. This is barely watchable!
JCS is the best!
Who or what is JCS? Is it the TH-cam username’s channel that all these interrogations are on?
@@gaynorgregory2528 JCS - Criminal Psychology, go check it out its YT Channel
This is interrogator is fabulous, he asks questions quietly , and never relents , Great job,
Whenthey said it was in Ontario I knew this guy was screwed. There's another interrogation video on youtube I watched a few nights ago w this precinct and they noted the Ontario behavior therapist's abilities.
A true pro at his job.
Why would he need to get excited? Loom at all the evidence. He didn't need to say a word.
I can only imagine the absolute utter shock this man's wife suffered when this case broke. Poor lady. I was married for 33 years to a man who had many, many secrets I never ever suspected. It's a harsh reality when you learn who they really are, and what they are truly capable of. Changes you and your ability to ever again trust others or even yourself and your own judgment, or even your desire to go on, forever.
I am sorry to hear the pain the man you married caused you.
Would you mind disclosing some of the secrets he had and how you found out? You don’t have to mention his name if you don’t want to
Do tell
Believe me she knew something.
That’s total bull. She suspected something. This guy kept everything he stole and cataloged it with dates and locations. Boxes and boxes of women’s clothing. She suspected something.

The hand shake by the interrogator was a really nice touch. He said he would treat him with respect and he did right till the end. The guy is a class act
I would have had a hard time shaking hands with that monster, but you are very right, he made a compact with the guy. Maybe he should have shaken his hand and then punched him
in the jaw. ; )
I'm not convinced a sick, pitiful excuse for a man who terrorised, brutalised and murdered defenceless women is worthy of any kind of respect. Though I'd have liked to see the cop shake him warmly by the throat.
Many Canadians have commented on his interrogation techniques as being superior. He never became impatient or intimidating or aggressive. I believe this may be the same man who interviewed Paul Bernardo...but not sure,.
well as much as I agree with you, I wouldn't show him any respect just hostile and aggression and that's what he deserves initially then only suffer for many years to come
The interrogator was really looking forward to this interview, you can tell. Everything about it is arousing him, such as all the nitty-gritty details of the rapes (sexual acts), plus the hand touching with the serial killer.
This is the best example of getting a confession this guy is truly a professional.
I do believe they use this instance as a training example for all new interrogators, it is literally textbook.
He's buying time. That's a move we call "Buying Time". That's truly a hilarious statement.
He's nodding his head, we call this nodding his head.

Hair aside, Russ could be making snuff films for other people. Some of the details from two years prior are too fishy.
My concern is my wife. Glad to hear. How about considering your victims? Maybe their families? Evil is astounding.
You know how uncommon it is for serial killers to a) admit to guilt and b)help the police find bodies and evidence ?
That's about a big of consideration one would ever get from a sadistic psychopath.
He needs to fool his wife so he will have her support while in prison. That is why.
Allyson Lawrence he killed two women right? I thought you had to have three victims to be considered a serial killer. But if he hadn’t been caught he definitely would have done it again. ☹️
@NEGUS MBARKA , why is his skin color relevant in this case?
His concern is his wife. If he gave a damn about the victims they wouldn’t be victims.
He definitely is a cold blooded psychopath. One of the most vile and terrifying criminals. The detective is very gifted, he understands humans at a very deep level. What class, what sharp intuition, what skill. He ushered this evil entity into admission with the greatest grace and suavity.
Police were searching his 2 homes with tens of videos of his crimes (he filmed rapes and murders) during interrogation. Confession was an obvious step for colonel, there was nothing to count on.
PS because of videos his confession was worthless = completely unnecessary and not nearly as accurate as those films!!
These so called body language experts are quite accurate after the crime has been solved lol.

He had reverted to a child-like state by that point, and wanted to have some control over asking how he was addressed.
@Jennifer 6strings Jennifer, you're absolutely correct. Him telling the cop to call him Russel,l gave him a brief sense of control. That's the way narcissists are, they always have to have control to give them that sense of superiority. Good call.
The most skilled interrogations I have ever seen! This investigator was interviewed on The Behavioral Panel and he is brilliant at his job!
Yes TBP did a great interview with him. So interesting!
I hope the interrogator was asked about the role his interrogation techniques from his career play in how active police detectives interrogate suspects in Canada
I saw an interrogation on the JCS channel. The interrogator did not stop talking even though the person gave very little information but he was very good also.

lol. i think it's very difficult to stop once ya started watching.
Riiight?! Lol me too
OMG same here dude!!!! It was just so intriguing especially the further and further into the whole story it gets...brutal evil and downright made me sick
Why what's so interesting? I haven't watched it yet and want to know what's interesting in it
I love how he looks up at the camera and smiles. I doubt he has smiled much since then. Lmao
His hair filed for separation before his wife .
OMG LoL that's funny 😂😂😂😂
LOL best comment 😂
HahaHha savage
Hahahaha, damn
🤣🤣🤣
The dude was so disgusting even his hair was trying to get the hell away from him.
That was laugh out loud funny.
😂😂
LMAOOO IM-
lmaooo
Im dying 🤣😂
The barber : “ what do you want ?”
Russel : “ do you know Hawaii ?”
The barber : “ say no more “
🤣
Bol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
HAHAHAHAHA OMG THATS FUNNY!!!
Nothing funny about this case it's horrific but your comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Travis Besst, the best part about watching these videos are the comments that follow.
Thankfully you had the expert on to tell us that the moment he said "do you have a map" was a turning point.
We would have been lost without him.
Russell: "Can we be discreet?" Detective: "Sure." Otherwise, this would be on TH-cam, watched by everybody around the world.
"Can we be discreet?" Sure, except every major newspaper is gonna front page picture of you in a saucy little size 8 black number with a lace trim in about six months!
C
🤣🤣🤣
Russel: "Can we be discreet?"
Detective: "Sure"
Me, watching all the way from the United States :
@@amandanash1170 when he said that, I laughed so hard I snorted so hard, I woke up my dog. 🤣🤣
You could physically see the confidence draining out of him as the interrogation goes on. This detective is genius.
He was free to go anytime smh! Once he heard all that information laying on him... could’ve easily said I want a lawyer and goodbye but he panic which led to him getting busted 👋🏿👋🏿
@@Purgingking23 the guilt ate him up to he didn’t wanna out he’s wife through more distress
No he's not...forensics nailed him and got him to confess not the "interrogation "
@@Purgingking23 Maybe he thought that would make him look suspicious, also given his credibility/reputation which he tries to hold and play out but the more he sits and waits, the more he gets surgically deconstructed. Add all that to the amount of pressure that bloody good investigator was dropping on him, his composure was getting absolutely crippled to which he was not responding to the questions until he broke.
the detective is great, but not genius, he had 2 strong pieces of evidence, any normal investigator should be able to get a conviction with that.
unless the detectives afraid of what can go wrong if he's not confessing and that's why it's so important for them
It's a confession for a murder and everyone is talking about the man's hair patch 😂😂😂
I mean....have you seen it? 🤣🤣
You can't miss it...You stare so long you almost forget what he's in there for lol
@@MVuke84 for me it’s more the fact he looks like Woody Harrelson and no one is bringing that up.
He should have clean shaven his head but kept that small patch as a nostalgic reminder of earlier times
That should be added as a crime all of itself.
Thank God for those 2 men who saw his SUV parked in that field. If not for them, I wonder if they would have caught him. Or his neighbor would have been blamed for these hideous crimes, as they had previously suspected him. I think about the absolute terror these poor women felt once they realized what was happening to them, and it just makes me sick. Imagine him waking you, like he did to Jessica, and then enduring what he did to her. And poor Marie, seeing what her cat was staring at. I'm so glad they caught him.
Yup! Everyone wants to give this cop credit as a master interrogator like it was any kind of difficult. The guys who saw the production at the crime scene and put them on to the SUV & tire tracks solved it. All the cop did was show him he knew and apply a bit of pressure with a threatened search. He cracked like an egg and spilled his guts.
@@bradenmaccke9353 to be fair…it’s a lot harder to actually get guilty suspects to confess to heinous crimes without being convicted of them first than you might think.
It’s because the guilty suspect will enter the interrogation with the belief that confessing is a worse decision than fighting the crimes they are accused of in court. Jim Smyth got the confession because he made Russell realize that not confessing to his crimes would likely result in an even worse outcome for Russell
(Facing life in prison)
Detective: *"Russell. What are we gonna do?"*
Russell:
Russell: *".......Call me Russ"*
That’s the moment det Jim smyth put him
In checkmate
MotoCzar lmao honestly wtf
Haha that's great I thought the same thing... have some manners detective call the man Russ or sir please
Pahahahahahaha!!!! I also found that absolutely bizarre!
@@huss03 Say Russ backwards then say Russell. 🤣😎
Woody Harrelson would win an Oscar with this role.
THATS who he looks like...
OMG exactly ☻
With John Cusack as detective Smyth
MrMarko4 perfect 👌🏼
"The Tweedster" has been announced on imdb wit Harrelson featuring as Russ.
Barber: "What hairstyle you want?"
Client: "Lonely island, please."
HILARIOUS!!!
That hair patch is irritating the 💩 out of me!! 😖😣😠😡🤬
Lolololol
🤣🤣🤣
OMG, I wasn't ready for that! Funny award goes to you today!!!
What patience and determination! This man does his job so good! The victims families at least got a good interigator. So sorry for their loss.
it’s always scarier to me when murderers are married. developed a fear of not knowing someone i’m close to is actually a killer 😩
When an old man farts in a packed elevator, I’m the one who has something to learn.
Thats true.. In almost every case after the crime familly and friends are shocked and say stuff like "I knew him/her, she/he wouldn't do it" or that they wpuld never suspect anything like this. Soo... you never know... maybe your husband is a cold killer too.
I believe there are always signs that are ignored by those around them for different reasons
@@roman-fo2sk sounds like something a psychopathic cross dressing serial killer would say...🤔
@@roman-fo2sk Exacly.
What I am happy to hear is his friend of 30 years did not say ‘He’s a good guy’, as most do. He called him the worst of the worst and a monster, which he is. 👍
I can’t imagine how awful his friend must feel. Everything in Russell Williams is a monster. Yet he kept his perverted side hidden. It’s scary.
@@carlyyoung3481 Definitely VERY scary. It just goes to show you really can’t trust anyone, and it is getting even worse. Sadly.
Yes, and I also like how he said he will always be his friend. At least with the Russell he thought he knew.
"as most do"
Which serial killers were referred to as "a good guy" by friends *after* they found out what they'd done?
@@ixICocoIxi Ed Kemper, Gacy
Possibly the interviewer's best line: "Every time I leave this room more problems come up. And they aren't problems which point away from you, they're problems which point at you."
I don't know if Shakespeare himself could come up with this gem.
Through this language, he lets Russ know he is trying to go to bat for Russ, but the sh"t pile just keeps getting deeper and deeper - and he needs the truth since "things are getting out of control quickly."
This is masterful...
Yes but the bard might have put it more lyrically. "whenever I flutter away thither, I fathom more that points to hither"
@@fredbloggs8369 Excellent, oh Sage.
No, he never had any intention of "going to bat" for him. He wanted Russel to THINK he was trying to go to bat for him, so Russel felt luke he was talking to someone with his best interest in mind.
In reality, the detective knew since the moment Russel walked in, that his goal was to paint him into a corner that he couldn't talk his way out of.
Jimmy Matthew Right. I can't think of anyone who would think the detective was actually trying to send Russell home. I'm pretty sure anyone on the thread knows it was perception creation.
If you think it would take better than Shakespeare to utter words that make sense, then you ain't seen much my friend...
A monster hiding in plain sight. Now that's terrifying.
Protect your family my friend. Never be off guard
That interrogater did an absolutely beautiful job, he is definitely well trained.
Not necessarily. Some people are naturals.
@@dangerous8333 or well trained lol you don’t know which one
The moment Jim Smith became a star 🌟
He just retired this year. Now he trains detectives on interrogation. In 2021
He’s one of the best we got. He goes around the world teaching behavioural science, he’s pretty incredible
Finished all the JCS videos now so i’m here
I could've sworn this guy was a JCS video but it seems to be taken down. Feels like a lot of JCS' old videos are gone.
@@KazeGaara89 most people are new fans because of his recent video that went mega viral so they don’t know Iv been watching him for 2 years and ya it feels like it but I’m not sure
😂 Same!
@@KazeGaara89 yeah JCS definitely had a video on this dude. They’ve been deleting older stuff for some reason.
@@aeztral his prince Andrew video is also gone which is unfortunate because that one is one of my faves and sassy af.
The investigator talks more like a social worker or psychologist than most police officers. He could have taught my counseling classes. Just in awe
That’s because he is! He’s a Behavioral Analyst. They basically study psychology.
@@MrsTruthTellerfrom the fbi?
Ive been obsessed with this interview for about 5 years! You Canadians have the best interrogaters on the planet!
Best interrogation I've ever seen or heard. "What are we going to do Russell?" Is genius bc it leaves Russell feeling like it is still his choice.
Call me Russ...
🙄
Out piloted and shot down in flames....bet he wishes he'd never swallowed that chewing gum..
That police officer has a psychology degree he must have. Psychology to the max
What are we going to do Russ... what are you thinking Russ...are you going to go to prison in an orange jump-suit... or go to prison in an orange jump-dress...?
All about giving up control..
For a cop jim Smith is utterly ruthless but friendly at the same time. Watching him do his thing is amazing.
*Smyth
See - you can play good cop/bad cop without a partner in the room. Advanced stuff!
Smiling assassin he met more than his match the sick twisted evil bastard.
@WungusBill just a cocky individual .. who is used to be in the lead ..
Jim Smyth is a gifted interrogator
I bet you that detective’s kids don’t get away with anything
Naww, somebody like him,The wife and Children are terrified.They have no one too run too.
This interviewer is actually amazing.
Or they become criminal masterminds
james...that's hilarious but true....kids were doomed
Some kids get away with nothing and get blamed for everything. That is very true as anyone who has ever had an authoritarian parent will know. But this whodunit is backed by solid evidence.
I've watched this interview several times. It's SO compelling ! The gradual breakdown of 'Rus' ....masterful !
“He’s buying time here and we like to call that, ‘buying time’”
Clever
Actually hilarious
We call that burning time here in Milwaukee.
Here in Iowa when someone sneezes, we call that sneezing.
Lool🤣🤣
The Police Interviewer - phenomenal job. Master of his craft.
Pity about the justice system above them .
He's being nice to get him onside...
Jim is a master of his craft
You do realize that was his strategy and it worked like a charm right
brett linthicum you do realize there’s thousands of videos like this on her and even which even tell you techniques and who is a master u know you’re not telling me this but yea
"The subject continues to open his facial cavity and a series of sound waves exit which specific neurons inside the interrogator's brain convert to words and ultimately, meaning. We in the business call it 'talking'."
Lmao
Andre McGoo why
Cause thats what it is
Ah man, awesome 👌
hahaha seriously
unbelievable. such a sad story. why can't we, as a society, cannot prevent these guys from getting so far.
We can’t foresee this type of evil.
Wolves in sheeps clothing in every
profession or social standing.
But we can prevent MS13 and the cartel from coming over our borders.
It might be as bad as this man's bad deeds. But none of us are qualified to judge. At least we haven't been in school and certified for it. Main reason is none of us are perfect. If you're Christian you know what I am trying to say. The spirit in him is still out there as its been on this planet for thousands and thousands years and will be until the end of the world. We human allowed it to inter by our father and mother Adam and Eve. He needed help but he didn't seek help. He was fooled by that spirit whisper saying no one will find out. The spirit stole, killed, destroyed all he got and dumped him with others like him and out to find another person willing to be used by it. So, please let us pray for him. Be on his side. None of us are perfect. Especially if we stand before God. There are many things God knows about us. Our bad thoughts, bad words, and bad deeds he only knows
He knows that he is screwed. "we call that being screwed". More insights from Captain Obvious
Dear God I just laughed so hard at this
i’m wheezing 🤣 check in at 7 for more inisights from the legendary captain obvious
@@brooke4097 “here’s Tom with the weather”
😭
Also... He is trying to buy time. We call that "buying time".
XD
He looks at the photocopy of his bootprint like I look at my credit card statement.
Lol
Lol!
dude stop xD
🤣😂
@Stevo Devo lol
*_”I killed her because I knew her story would be recognized.”_*
_That is one of the most sinister things I’ve ever heard. This man is nothing short of a monster._
I worked with him he was an ok guy.
BizWiz you think this is bad? Look up Chris watts!
Jakob Jones what are all those links for?
You know, I generally agree with you, I get what you mean, but....these guys aren't monsters. They're just a glimpse of how 'far' a human being can go. If we think of them as monsters we consider most of us incabable of something like this. But that's not the case. It's very much alive and around us. Inside us. Hope you know what I mean..
monster is a relative term, to a canary, a cat is a monster
In my opinion, this is a masterwork in interrogation. The detective used the right tactics in getting a major figure to admit to his crimes.
