How does an accused serial killer and rapist become commander of a large Canadian military base?

I can understand post traumatic stress disorder, and other issues that could result from being in combat or any high stress situation, but that is not the case here. It does not sound like this guy just snapped one day.

However, do they not do psych evaluations on these people at the time they enter service or during the course of their careers?

If he is a psychopath as is being suggested by the OPP spokespeople (probable lengthy criminal history with multiple victims) then how did he manage to get into such a power position with no one cluing in or getting suspicious?

The question had to be asked, and I'm glad the CBC did ask it. And I do hope there is a some sort of public inquiry. It may be that psychopaths or people with psychopathic tendencies cannot be detected on screening? This should be for the experts to answer. And is there any way the military could do better with its screening in the future?

I shudder to think of someone like capable of doing such horrific crimes coming into contact with some of the world's most vulnerable people, Haiti, and Afghanistan immediately come to mind.

According to the most recent news the media is reporting that in a weird sort of twist he was University pals with serial sex killer Paul Bernardo. Birds of a feather?

And apparently there are three more unsolved murders from the 1990s that may be connected to the Colonel.

My thoughts, and prayers are with the victim's family.....and the great men, and women who are members of our Canadian military that do their best to serve this country.
