Concerned, your post, number 1731 has so many valid points and I commend you as a result of your observations.
Personally, I am of the opinion, W5, the Fifth Estate and Dateline a year perhaps more back had the main question..how could someone of RW's supposed calibre gone undetected?
There has never been one single solitary answer from any one individual ( in high command) who is able to answer this question. In fact there has been much backpeddling since his arrest and not surprising as there is much ass covering in Canadian military as of the best of times....
And although RW was assigned an officer, Tony O'Keefe who was a friend and had known him for many years, he was not at the trial..at any point and prior to RW's conviction. Wonder why?
There is much that needs to be told re the behind the scenes and how very much the military and the Canadian government and re LE have quashed. Feel so sorry for Ont OPP and other LE not being able to put further information forward, however this hinged on political and military interests. Somewhat to a major degree a gag order. It's very convoluted and unless one is is the know and can follow the trail, one would never grasp.
And we here on Unsolved never will unless perhaps Julian picks this up.
It seems that you know something that you aren't telling amIam. Where do you get that there is a major gag order? And that the military, the Canadian government and law enforcement have quashed information? Do you have inside information? I believe that there was a post on here recently that the military had released all kinds of e-mails and documentation requested under the Access to Information Act. You keep harping on the military as if they are responsible for what happened, because they, like everyone else, were unaware of what was going on in RW's mind. The military was NOT responsible for RW's actions. And yes, they were quick to wash their hands of him. They were victims as well. Tony O'Keeffe was appointed the military rep to be in contact with RW and yes, he had been a friend with him. He was also betrayed, don't forget.
Here:
http://www.canada.com/news/Russell+Williams+faces+charges/2965179/story.html on April 29, 2010 it states: O'Keeffe said his visits are meant to update Williams on the military involvement in his case.
"I discussed his administrative (military) review and the fact that we're in, I suppose, a holding pattern while the investigation unfolds," he said. "People are being quiet about the whole thing."
So maybe there was no reason for the military to be in touch with him any further? And once he pled guilty, why would they? There was no requirement.
I also believe I read somewhere that Tony O'Keeffe after several visits to RW stated that he no longer considered him a friend, but I don't have a chance to look for that right now. Maybe that is also why he no longer visited him.
