Russell Williams was a decorated Canadian Forces colonel until an investigation into a string of break-ins, sexual assaults, and two murders led police to his door. This special edition of the fifth estate, hosted by Bob McKeown, plays through the police interrogation footage that turned Williams from flat denial into a full confession, breaking down the tactics investigators used to get there. Interrogation specialists appear on camera to explain the psychology behind the questioning, pointing out the specific moments where Williams's story starts to crack. The film also traces the fifth estate's own reporting on the case over several months, from the early evidence that first connected him to the crimes through to the courtroom outcome. Rather than restage the crimes, the program stays close to the interview room, treating the recorded confession itself, one of the longest and most detailed ever captured on Canadian police video, as the central piece of evidence worth watching in full.
