A Monster Among Us
This represents the supreme dysfunction. An individual capable of conducting himself scrupulously as an elite, trusted and responsible military officer at the highest rank whose future has geared him toward even higher ranking within the Canadian military. An individual whose other, serial persona enables him to function without detection as a vicious psychopath, capable of sadistic violence, preying on defenceless women, while calmly comporting himself as someone beyond reproach.
Violating the sanctity of a woman's home to attack her mercilessly, and then leaving her to live out her agonized memory of helpless pain and misery for the rest of her life simply wasn't satisfactory enough for a man whose ambition was to ravage and brutalize women. He accelerated his predations to the final boundaries of horror, finding it within himself to systematically torture women he abducted, and agonizingly maim them physically and mentally before killing them.
Even while he was engaged in the pursuit of satisfying his demonic passions, he took time away from his pursuits to veer back to the persona of the respected colonel, contacting subordinates to inform them of his temporary absence from duty, instructing them in the manner in which he expected them to carry on in his absence. Then turning his attention back to the matter at hand; the absolute denigration of another human being.
This man, who had attained such an enviable position of trust and accomplishment, turned his face away from normalcy and a supposedly happily-married life to achieve a demented satisfaction through menacing and maiming, sexually assaulting and eventually coldly murdering his victims. Afterward, continuing his life as though nothing untoward had occurred.
Until he was detected as the monster he was. Two women dead and deeply mourned. Other women living tortured lives of misery in recollection of what a monstrous psychopath forced onto their futures. And a community wondering how it was even remotely possible that no one was able to detect anything unusual in the manner and behaviour of Russell Williams, a monster among us.
