David Russel Williams was born in the UK in 1963. Soon after, his family moved to Canada. He joined the Canadian military in 1987, ultimately achieving the rank of Colonel. Williams got up to all types of secret shenanigans. He was a pedo, stealing the underwear of children. He did nearly 100 home invasions, creeping around in the rooms of underage children. He even dressed in the items he stole from them. Eventually, he moved on to rape and murder. Idiotically, he kept a record of what he was doing. Williams is currently serving time at a prison in Canada.

Interestingly, Williams attended the same school as another notorious figure, Paul Bernardo, who was two years ahead of him. I learned a lot of facts about this person that were not covered on the Dateline episode in which this book was featured. I found this book to be a pretty solid true crime book.
