Canadian police looking into cold cases
TORONTO — Authorities say they will look into unsolved murder and sexual assault cases after charging the commander of Canada’s largest Air Force base with the murder of two women and the sexual assault of two others.
Col. Russell Williams was arrested Sunday and charged with the murder of two women, including a soldier who was under his command. News of the charges rocked the military.
Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kristine Rae said Tuesday the core of the investigation is still geared toward the four cases. However, she said investigators will be looking at other areas where he has been posted and other crimes that have gone unsolved to see if there are any similarities.
Williams, 46, is a career military man who has been stationed across Canada and internationally.
