Summary
[Bonus content between episodes ] I had lots of questions after covering Russell Williams - so I had a conversation with Dr Lee Mellor - Canadian profiler, author, criminologist and serial killer expert. He's also the host of Murder Was The Case.
In typical Lee fashion, he doesn't hold back on any of his opinions. Definitely lots of food for thought.

| 0:14.9 | Hi everyone. Don't worry, the next episode is still coming as scheduled on October the 15th. |
| 0:21.7 | But in the meantime, here's a bit of bonus content for you, something that I haven't |
| 0:26.3 | really ever done before. |
| 0:28.3 | As I was putting together the Russell Williams episodes, I had so many questions about |
| 0:33.1 | why he did the things he did. |
| 0:35.4 | So I wrote them all down and had a conversation with someone |
| 0:38.7 | educated in the space that I know could shed some light. And that is Dr. Lee Meller, |
| 0:44.8 | Canadian serial killer expert, author and fellow podcast host. I will let him introduce himself. |
| 0:51.8 | So without further ado, here's our conversation. Hey Lee, how's it going? |
| 0:57.7 | Actually pretty good. I have returned to Brighton, Ontario recently, moved away from the big smoke, |
| 1:04.9 | and I find myself out here and you're asking me about Ross Williams. Well, |
| 1:12.8 | Russ Williams killed a woman in Brighton, Ontario while I was |
| 1:14.8 | living here last, and this is a town |
| 1:16.9 | of 10,000 people or less. |
| 1:19.8 | So, I'm actually kind of eager to revisit |
| 1:22.5 | these crimes. It's been about a decade |
| 1:24.5 | since I really spent time |
| 1:26.6 | with them, but at the time they're at front and |
| 1:28.9 | center of my life. |
