BELLEVILLE, Ont. — Col. Russell Williams allegedly broke into multiple homes in Eastern Ontario, including that of a women he is charged with later killing and the residence of another women he allegedly sexually assaulted.

Some of the homes in the region were broken into repeatedly over a number of days, others over a period of a few months, with all the break ins happening over a three-year period.

They happened in Ottawa, Belleville, Brighton and Tweed — places located within a few kilometres of where Williams, the former top commander at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, had lived or worked.

These new details emerged Thursday after the Ontario Provincial Police charged the 47-year-old air force colonel with 82 new break-and-enter, theft or attempted break-and-enter charges.

In all, there are 46 counts in Tweed, 34 counts in Ottawa and two counts in Belleville.

These charges are in addition to the two counts of first-degree murder Williams is facing in connection to the deaths of Cpl. Marie-France Comeau, 37, a military flight attendant from Brighton, Ont., and Jessica Lloyd, 27, of Belleville and two counts of sexual assault charges linked to two home invasions in Tweed. In those cases, Williams is accused of blindfolding the women, tying them naked to their chairs, photographing and sexually assaulting them.

Police on Thursday would not confirm what was taken during these burglaries, but earlier reports said the break-ins targeted women's lingerie, revealing a possible stalking pattern in the once-celebrated military officer.

One woman in Ottawa told Global News that her lingerie was stolen during a break-in last November, when her daughter was house-sitting. By the time police arrived, they found a smashed side door but no sign of a suspect.

Another woman in Tweed, a heavily wooded town where Williams owned a cottage, said her house had been burglarized a number of times in the last few years. And even though she never figured out what was stolen, the experiences shook her up enough to buy a large guard dog.

On Thursday, Williams made his third court appearance in Belleville, Ont.

A packed courtroom, with some observers forced to stand, watched as the colonel, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, appeared on a TV screen from the Quinte Detention Centre where he has been in custody since his arrest on Feb. 7.

He stood straight, appeared serious and replied clearly that his name was "David Russell Williams" when asked to do so by the judge.

Through his legal counsel, he requested that the new charges against him not be read aloud in court but did not give a reason why. The judge complied with the request.

Williams, who appeared thinner but still healthy, looked sullen as he thanked the judge once the brief proceedings were over. He has not entered a plea on any of the charges and the case has been adjourned until June 24.

Lt.-Col. Tony O'Keeffe attended the proceedings Thursday, representing the Canadian Forces.

O'Keeffe, who has known Williams for years, had visited him 10 days ago but did not ask him about the hunger strike or reported suicide attempt he had made during the Easter weekend.
