One of the many things that stands out to me in this interrogation is his description of Corporal Marie-France Comeau’s murder. How absolutely terrifying for her. She’s in her home trying to coax her cat out of the basement one night. The cat is fixated on something and won’t move. Marie comes downstairs, notices the cat is staring at something, goes closer and sees a man with a torch hiding in the corner, who then attacks her and ties her up. That is horror movie-level terror. Glad this monster is locked away. RIP Marie-France.

This is still the most remarkable interview of a murder suspect on youtube or anywhere else. The steady, intelligent, persistent line of questioning of such a high status individual, resulting in a full on-camera confession, has got to be something that happens once in a lifetime.

[@JamesCh.]

There's a reason for all of that and that is he could take the guilt anymore. He is far from a psychopath, thinks first about his wife's well-being (under extreme stress, which make it clear he didn't ask about her on purpose of being perceived better or getting a lighter sentence), he's nervous and shows signs of inner regret. Video was of course cut in a way that makes him look as bad as possible for not causing a moral dilemma, but the most terrifying thing is that, leaving what he did aside, he is a normal, intelligent person and decent person who you'd never guess for something like this. Just shows there's evil in all of us and what we do is our choice, not our fate. I don't doubt for a second he doesn't know why he did what he did.

@@Halal_Dan Brother, what you are doing is victim blaming. It's a flawed rationalisation, one that mustn't be encouraged. You shift the blame from the perpetrator to the victim, voiding responsibility to the transgressor. The victim was in her own home, where crime is low, how could she possibly anticipate a psycho coming into her home and strangling her? It's just implausible to take into account of someone coming into your home and killing you, because these things are left to circumstances outside of our control. Just like how you'll never anticipate your own death until near the hour. There's nothing this person could have done to anticipate this and therefore not live by herself as you say to afford her the safety you propose. Even if she had someone, whose to say he wouldn't have waited for an opportunity to make sure she was alone or that the murderer kills the husband? If you're that paranoid in life, you may as well lock yourself up in an underground bunker for the rest of your life... Even then you never know. You see my point? Maybe the person you were replying to was harsh in their wording, and I get what you're saying, it just comes across as callous and unnecessary.

Sad, if she had three trained to bite and kill suspects with three big German Shepherds she would be alive today.

If you watch very carefully, you will see that the interviewer began mirroring the pervert’s posture. He waited a long time before beginning to do this, and eventually did so twice. Then he changed his posture completely to one that neither had used: a contemplative stance. Almost immediately the sick pervert EACTLY MIRRORED HIM!!! That was the moment the investigator turned the game, and the pervert decided it had no way out. In truth of course the investigator had bluffed about the strength and value of the tyre and footprint evidence, as well as the DNA from the first victim. Plus, they had no idea where the second victim’s body was. Had he lawyered up and said nothing, there was at that point insufficient evidence to convict. It convinced itself it was over, and convicted itself in it’s head! But it wasn’t very smart. It hunted in its own back yard. It had some very odd, very prolific trophy perversions. It kept evidence that would have linked it to the crimes. Despite all its evil depravity, the pervert had several weaknesses. One was it’s dependence upon its wife. It needed her on side for what it imagined would be the next stage. For some reason, this was the most disturbing case. The confessions offer NO real explanation for the real motives. Those desire/revenge/hate questions are inconclusive. The investigator is a genius. He saved lives for sure. The revelations at the end about entering children’s bedrooms suggests the direction the crime spree could have gone had it not been stopped. Excellent work.

Even with this "mistake" as you are calling it, he could have gotten away easily if he had not talked to the police. It is rather likely that he wanted to be caught.

[@Noadvantage246]

Not even driving back, his only real mistake was talking. As JCS pointed out they only had circumstantial evidence at best. Matching tire and shoe tred means pretty much nothing. Even if they could conclusively place him ar the scene with that, which they couldn't, it still means nothing. They can't prove he killed her by simply being there.

[@thebrocialist8300]

He didn’t seem to be the sort to assert his authority. Many military officers are little more than bureaucrats, who, despite the authority their rank affords them, are nevertheless unaccustomed to exercising the sort of command over subordinates that, say, your typical infantry NCO does. Orders are dispatched from their ranks in a very impersonal/detached fashion.

[@aestheticgarbage6671]

Stoogs that's what i thought too

[@thebrocialist8300]

GSTAL005 I wasn’t referring to the benefits of his rank, but the means by which he exercised his authority - you know, the interpersonal dimensions that are relevant to his psychological profile and the case in question. It’s one thing to become accustomed to people affording you praise, pageantry, and respect. That typically leads to arrogance. It does not, however, manifest or amplify authoritarian traits - which are usually ingrained in people’s personalities before they put on a uniform.

[@Muddybuddie]

He's just psychologically pressing him with power, you can find similar footage where an interrogator would employ this same tactic, but on an innocent suspect, or if the suspect goes hard in denial. And such footage usually also shows how bad these cops really are when stuff goes beyond regular interrogation practices they learned during their 2 days special agent courses. They lose temper and go into very agressive confrontations very fast.

"You're an honourable man for telling the truth, thank you." This plays to his ego and possible sense guilt (if he has any), and continues to reduce his anxiety so that he can be as forthcoming as possible. Very well-executed interrogation. He knew how to play the cards right to get the full confession, even though their true cards at the time were pretty weak. Good interrogators are almost like expert musicians who know how to carefully weave tension and relief, surprise and predictability. Combined with good understanding of the suspect's body language, facial expressions, voice, language, etc., it's like a grand psychological symphony composed and improvised for one person.
