Speaker 8: Newman worked in the warehouse of Leeber Brothers Factory in
Speaker 8: downtown Toronto, while his wife, Anna Yorkin homeschooled the three

Speaker 8: I'm not sure what we're dealing with. Bizarre, interesting presentation.

Speaker 8: that Eric Newman was looking for. Health workers noted that
Speaker 8: they suspected he might be faking. August twenty sixth to

Speaker 8: who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, was concerned
Speaker 8: for Eric's mental health because he believed that Eric was
Speaker 8: hearing voices at that time. According to his father, Eric
Speaker 8: spent a period of time as a patient in a

Speaker 8: mean pardon me. Eric is a patient of psychiatrist doctor Cerebellum.
Speaker 8: He sees this doctor regularly between February twenty eighth and

Speaker 8: years old and he's featured in his first gay pornographic video.
Speaker 8: On October thirtieth of that year, he sees doctor Tan

Speaker 8: who hopes to train to become a police officer. In
Speaker 8: two thousand and five, he also makes a further three
Speaker 8: gay pornographic films, and in March of that year, Luca
Speaker 8: seizes Doctor Tan and he tells him that they are
Speaker 8: trying to ruin his career by taking pictures of him
Speaker 8: and posting them online. He complains of hearing voices and paranoia,
Speaker 8: and he believes people are following him. Doctor Tan records
Speaker 8: in his medical notes that Luca's speech is odd, fast
Speaker 8: and delusional, but not that he was not suicidal. In
Speaker 8: April to May of two thousand and five is Luca's
Speaker 8: back living with his father and stepmother in Scarborough, Ontario.

Speaker 8: Doctor Surbilin that police were investigating him. People didn't like him,
Speaker 8: he said, and they were receiving calls from the USA.
Speaker 8: In two thousand and seven, Luca Magnat appears in another
Speaker 8: issue of a gay magazine. He makes a breakthrough into
Speaker 8: the world of reality television shows, first giving an interview
Speaker 8: with naked News, calling himself Jimmy, he gives a lengthy
Speaker 8: interview about his life as a high class escort and stripper,
Speaker 8: and then, after apparently having plastic plastic surgery to look
Speaker 8: more like his idol, James Dean, he auditions for Cover Guy,
Speaker 8: hoping to win the prize of further plastic surgery, but
Speaker 8: he's not put through to the next round. He nonetheless
Speaker 8: enjoys the opportunity to talk on camera about himself now.
Speaker 8: He tells his doctor in August that people are spreading
Speaker 8: rumors about him that he was dating serial killer Carla Hamalka,
Speaker 8: and he's also having trouble sleeping still. In September, he
Speaker 8: appears on a radio phone in show on Toronto's Am
Speaker 8: six forty, and he gives an interview to the Toronto
Speaker 8: Son denying rumors that he was dating notorious serial killer
Speaker 8: Karla Hamalka. It is widely speculated at that time that
Speaker 8: Luca Magnata was the entire source of many of those
Speaker 8: Internet rumors. In two thousand and eight, Luca Magnata's activities
Speaker 8: start to take on what some have called an increasingly
Speaker 8: dark and twisted edge. Throughout two thousand and eighty, sets
Speaker 8: up multiple accounts on YouTube to wage war against the
Speaker 8: Family Guy TV show as he tries to get a
Speaker 8: banned and earning him considerable derision and an allegion of haters.
Speaker 8: On YouTube. He also posts several disturbing blogs about incestuous relationships.
Speaker 8: In January, he a Wikipedia shell page is created from
Speaker 8: two thousand and seven by Luca Magnat about himself, and
Speaker 8: it is deleted after lengthy discussion by wiki contributors and
Speaker 8: admits traders, concluding that Luca Minauda was not was a
Speaker 8: non notable model por an actor. In February two thousand
Speaker 8: and eight, magnodad auditions for another reality show, Plastic Makes
Speaker 8: Perfect two who hoping to win more plastic surgery, and
Speaker 8: he was unsuccessful. Two thousand and nine, he is featured
Speaker 8: in another gay pornographic movie, and in the sixteenth of May,
Speaker 8: Luca magnata Facebook page is created, the first of seventy
Speaker 8: Facebook's accounts. It is claimed that he created at that time.
Speaker 8: From June two thousand and nine to July two thousand
Speaker 8: and nine, he sets up a journal page and posts
Speaker 8: forty four articles about himself and his life in the
Speaker 8: space of just over a week. After this, he appears
Speaker 8: for almost seems to appear from the internet that for
Speaker 8: almost a year. In October two thousand and nine, Magnadas
Speaker 8: starts seeing doctor Robert Weinstein at North York General Hospital
Speaker 8: and he tells doctor Weinstein that he had a boyfriend
Speaker 8: when he was nineteen who had nosebleeds and he painted
Speaker 8: the words I Love you with blood on his apartment door,
Speaker 8: and after nineteen everything was different. He Dr Weinstein diagnosed
Speaker 8: Luca Magnauda's schizophrenic somewhat unstable, and he was taking a
Speaker 8: real estate agent course, and the doctor Weinstein noted that
Speaker 8: must be stressful. Now. In December twenty one, twenty ten,
Speaker 8: Army veteran Ryan Boyle was surfing the web in his
Speaker 8: office in Maryland, watching YouTube and the Funny Pictures thread
Speaker 8: on four Chan. Now. Four chan is a simple image
Speaker 8: based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images,
Speaker 8: and this is where he encountered a still image of
Speaker 8: a video called one Boy, Two Kittens. Boyle s scroll
Speaker 8: through the comments post from horrified users, hoping to id
Speaker 8: the man who'd posted the kitten killing video to the forum.
Speaker 8: In the video was a figure in a dark green
Speaker 8: hoodie asphyxiating two kittens with a vacuum cleaner and a
Speaker 8: plastic bag. In the back from the video clip, people
Speaker 8: were speaking in a foreign language, sounding possibly Russian. Boyle
Speaker 8: was a big animal guy. This hit him personally. He
Speaker 8: wanted to see the guy pay. He immediately started a
Speaker 8: Facebook group Save to Kitty. Boyle then clicked back to
Speaker 8: four Chan to get people over to his Facebook page
Speaker 8: and noticed that another user had started up a page
Speaker 8: as well. He contacted the other pages administration to ask
Speaker 8: to join forces. Oyle became an administrator of the Facebook
Speaker 8: page Find the Vacuumer Kitten Killer for Great Justice. Now. Boyle,
Speaker 8: who had set up the group as an invite only,
Speaker 8: was getting one hundred requests for access per hour, accepting
Speaker 8: each new member. On the same day that Boyle started
Speaker 8: Find the Vacuumer kit and Killer, a woman on the
Speaker 8: West coast of the US using the Internet alias body
Speaker 8: Movin saw the video in her Facebook feed and found
Speaker 8: her way to the group. She had been following an
Speaker 8: animal mutilation case on four Chan and became intrigued at
Speaker 8: how users were able to identify a Texas goth girl
Speaker 8: responsible for posting photos featuring to the capitation of a dog.
Speaker 8: She found it fascinating how they used the data from
Speaker 8: the phone and the exit exchangeable image file format which
Speaker 8: contains information such as file format, often along with time,
Speaker 8: date and GPS data, and matched up the images from
Speaker 8: the doghead with her background in it. Mouven felt she
Speaker 8: could help find the person who'd murdered the kittens. Now
Speaker 8: she wasn't the only one. In Sydney, Australia, a forty
Speaker 8: seven year old woman using the alias Nicey Punk had
Speaker 8: become intrigued with the search. Another man, John Green, saw
Speaker 8: one Boy, Two Kittens on four Chan. He was familiar
Speaker 8: with pet torture videos. Green joined the group. On December
Speaker 8: twenty third, Christy, a thirty four year old from Texas,
Speaker 8: joined and solved one mystery. She was the one who
Speaker 8: made the original plea on four Chan. At the time,
Speaker 8: Christy ran the gore site old look aforum, which was
Speaker 8: the top search result for a stuff video called three
Speaker 8: Guys One Hammer. A user named baby Maggie two had
Speaker 8: embedded a YouTube video for one Boy, two Kittens. She
Speaker 8: took the video down immediately as they had a no
Speaker 8: animal cruelty rule since she wanted him to get caught,
Speaker 8: though she posted the info to the bulletin boards on
Speaker 8: four Chan. The crew of Avengers began tossing around theories.
Speaker 8: They started by looking at objects in the killer's room
Speaker 8: that were visible on the video. The bedspread was decorated
Speaker 8: with an image of a wolf. Where was it sold?
Speaker 8: The voices in the background were they actually Russian? The
Speaker 8: electrical outlets were they European or North American? They pursued
Speaker 8: any visual clue that might help them identify the figure
Speaker 8: in the green hoodie, but after thousands of man hours,
Speaker 8: the group was no longer finding no closer to finding
Speaker 8: out the identity of the figure in a dark green
Speaker 8: hooded sweatshirt. At the same time, in Hollywood, see a Barbie,
Speaker 8: one half of the Barbie Twins, sister models who gained
Speaker 8: fame in nineteen ninety one after posing Playboy, was receiving
Speaker 8: emails directing her to the One Boy, Two Kittens video.
Speaker 8: A longtime animal advocate, Barbie, along with her twin sister Shane,
Speaker 8: had recently lobbied online for the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act,
Speaker 8: which sought to ban sexual fetish videos featuring people, mostly women,
Speaker 8: crushing small vertebrae animals with high heels or bare feet.
Speaker 8: The bill had passed on November twenty ten, which raised
Speaker 8: the twins profile in the media as enemies of animal abuse.
Speaker 8: Videos cea Barbie join the Van Vacuumer Kitten Killer Facebook
Speaker 8: group and forming a group that she had media connections
Speaker 8: that could help spread the word. To that end, Barbie
Speaker 8: reached out to job Panzarella, who had been deluged with
Speaker 8: emails directing him to the video. Panzarella is one of
Speaker 8: the leaders of Rescue, Inc, a collection of bikers who
Speaker 8: fight against animal abuse on Long Island, US. The group
Speaker 8: had received national attention from their two thousand and nine
Speaker 8: reality show on the National Geographic Channel, which followed the
Speaker 8: biker boys as they confronted animal abusers throughout New York.
Speaker 8: It lasted only one season, but while the show was fleeting,
Speaker 8: it boosted the club's online profile, and Panzarelli says they
Speaker 8: were contacting from people from every part of the world
Speaker 8: concerning one boy to kittens Now. In an attempt to
Speaker 8: get some clarity amidst the disorder, Boyle started a second,
Speaker 8: smaller Facebook group, calling it useful Individuals, and invited the
Speaker 8: users from the main Vacuumer Kitten Killer group, who he
Speaker 8: thought had the best skills hackers, investigators, filmmakers, artists to
Speaker 8: help identify the figure in the green hoodie, nicey punk user,
Speaker 8: Russian language skills to theorize that the accents of the
Speaker 8: laughing voices heard in the background of video just didn't
Speaker 8: match up with items in the apartment. The group worked
Speaker 8: through the new year, and by January eighth, twenty eleven,
Speaker 8: many believed they had found the kitten killer. A remember
Speaker 8: had found the profile of a Facebook user called calling
Speaker 8: himself Jamsey Crams a lot in his ass. Jamzy had
Speaker 8: posted a video to his Facebook page of a cat
Speaker 8: in a cage being set on fire, and the photos
Speaker 8: on his profile were of a teenage boy with similar
Speaker 8: facial features to the blurry green figure in the green hoodie.
Speaker 8: Was this the killer? Panzarelli, who recently or readily admits
Speaker 8: he's not a nice guy, wasn't content to wait and see.
Speaker 8: Along with the Barbie Twins, he came up with a
Speaker 8: plan to bring Jamsy out into the open. My sister said,
Speaker 8: we would have to lure this person in, said Panzarella.
Speaker 8: We would have to give him something. Iris Panzarella enlisted
Speaker 8: a member of Rescue Ink who was a grade school
Speaker 8: teacher and a female bodybuilder. The woman began a Facebook
Speaker 8: dialogue with Jamzy, attempting to appeal to his narcissistic ego
Speaker 8: and to reveal himself. After some back and forth, Jamzy
Speaker 8: admitted to the female bodybuilder that he was, in fact
Speaker 8: the hooded figure in the One Boy to Kittens video.
Speaker 8: Case solved. Rescue Inc. Thought they had their man, but
Speaker 8: the members of the Vancouver Vacuumer Kitten Killer group they
Speaker 8: wanted proof. We didn't think Jamsy was him, says Boyle.
Speaker 8: We thought he was just a troll. The Vacuumer Kitten
Speaker 8: Killer administrators were skeptical that this was their man, but
Speaker 8: the focus on jamz crams a lot in his ass
Speaker 8: had a welcome side effect. Less than a day after
Speaker 8: the group publicly identified Jamzy as a ca upper behind
Speaker 8: One Boy, Two Kittens, Nicey Punk received a face book
Speaker 8: message from a user named Beverly Kent. The name of
Speaker 8: the kitten vacuumer you were looking for read the message
Speaker 8: is Luca Magnata. Nicey forward of the message to the
Speaker 8: administrators of the group. We googled Luca Magnata, she says,
Speaker 8: and there we were. The search came back with the
Speaker 8: equivalent of a twisted of twisted Internet gold. Articles on Chinsey,
Speaker 8: user generated sites, sites detailing Magnata's jet set lifestyle, and
Speaker 8: hundreds of photos Luca on a beach, Luca in a
Speaker 8: sports car, Luca in a limo, in a hot tub
Speaker 8: under the Eiffel Tower. His hairstyles would vary, but his
Speaker 8: chisel jaw, high cheekbones, and bright blue eyes remained the same.
Speaker 8: A twink James Dean, often shirtless, always pouting, and almost
Speaker 8: always alone. There was a magnota video side show showing
Speaker 8: a thin young man in multiple outfits and poses, and
Speaker 8: it was set to new orders true faith. The articles
Speaker 8: and images were mainly from user generated sites, message boards,
Speaker 8: and photo buckets, but there were a few from legitimate
Speaker 8: news outlets. Hamalka rumor, Run's Model's Life, read the headline
Speaker 8: to a video link from a September two thousand and
Speaker 8: seven Toronto's Sun interviewed with Magnata, in which he denied
Speaker 8: that he dated infamous Canadian murderess Karla Hamalka. Now, while
Speaker 8: the citizen detectives were happy to finally put a name
Speaker 8: in a face to the supposed culprit. They were bewildered
Speaker 8: by what they were finding. On first glance, Luca Magnata
Speaker 8: didn't seem real. Hundreds of posts about Magnata appeared on
Speaker 8: various forums. This is a fan page I made for
Speaker 8: Luca Magnata, my new idol. Or on a YouTube page
Speaker 8: Luca magnot arrested in New Mexico for trying to gain
Speaker 8: access to Area fifty one, says local authorities. Or on
Speaker 8: a flicker page. I saw something tonight on YouTube where
Speaker 8: someone had stated that River and Luca were cousins. Is
Speaker 8: a so on a River Phoenix fan website. Magnota himself
Speaker 8: was the source of these comments and questions. It was
Speaker 8: established that he had created at least seventy sock puppet
Speaker 8: accounts on Facebook and at least twenty websites devoted to
Speaker 8: Luca Magnata. His Google carpet bombing helped his name show
Speaker 8: up when people searched for famous or infamous names. He
Speaker 8: was trying to troll people to get famous, says Movin
Speaker 8: about Magnata. Bottom line, then there's this unwritten rule of
Speaker 8: the Internet, says Vacuumer. Kitten Killer group member Green. It's
Speaker 8: called rules zero and it's you don't mess with cats,
Speaker 8: not unless that is you want the attention, said Magnota,
Speaker 8: made one Boy, two kittens and posted on December twenty first,
Speaker 8: twenty ten, what better way to get famous ab moving
Speaker 8: than to fuck with cats. But while Magnota made efforts
Speaker 8: to conceal his identity, he was also hungry for more notoriety.
Speaker 8: He posted photos of himself in connection with the video
Speaker 8: holding the cats on the bed, but no one recognized him.
Speaker 8: This was before the cat This secret weapon Google search
Speaker 8: by image and Tini, the image search tool of the time,
Speaker 8: was crude at best. After three weeks of lurking in
Speaker 8: the Facebook Great Facebook group devoted to his own capture,
Speaker 8: watching users toss out new theories dissecting every clue in
Speaker 8: his video, Magnata seemed to want more. On January eleven,
Speaker 8: twenty eleven, the Barbie Twins worked with extreme animal rights
Speaker 8: group Negotiation is Over to publish an article on their
Speaker 8: site declaring Luca Magnata as the kitten killer, though claiming
Speaker 8: he was also known by the name the alias jamsy
Speaker 8: Cramslot and his ass After an intense investigation, another anonymous
Speaker 8: tip resulted in the positive identification of the well known
Speaker 8: bisexual porn star and model Luca Magnauta read the article.
Speaker 8: Commonly known for drugs while parties in gay clubs. His
Speaker 8: name is well known in Canada and in northern United
Speaker 8: States regarding stories about him being involved with Karla Hamalca,
Speaker 8: a hated serial killer. Luca twenty five lives in Montia, France,
Speaker 8: and travels frequently between his home in France and Toliadi, Russia. Well,
Speaker 8: much of the above information was wrong. Magnata's name was
Speaker 8: now in the open. Magnotta felt enough pressure to meet
Speaker 8: with an attorney. On January twelfth, he wrote to a
Speaker 8: Manhattan lawyer named Romeo Salta, not so much denying his
Speaker 8: involvement in the video, more claiming, truthfully as it were,
Speaker 8: that he was not jamsy. The citizen detectives had a
Speaker 8: name and they had a face. What they were missing
Speaker 8: wasn't a was a location. No one knew where Magneta
Speaker 8: actually was. And because of that and the fact that
Speaker 8: he was just a guy killing kittens, says Green and Movin,
Speaker 8: no law for enforcement agency was going to give time
Speaker 8: or effort to finding him. Rescue Inks Panzarella came up
Speaker 8: with an idea. However, if they couldn't find Luca, maybe
Speaker 8: they could get Luca to come to them. He wants
Speaker 8: to be a porn star, says Panzarella. I called the
Speaker 8: Barbie Twins. They said, we can get Ron Jeremy. The
Speaker 8: Barbie Twins and Pazzarella hatched a plan to try and
Speaker 8: lure Magnata out of hiding by offering him a role
Speaker 8: in a porn movie with adult film legend Ron Jeremy.
Speaker 8: The plot called for Magnata show up in a Los
Speaker 8: Angeles studio to perform in a film. Once on set,
Speaker 8: Rescue Inc. Members would grab him, make a citizen's arrest,
Speaker 8: and hand him over to the authorities. At first, Ron
Speaker 8: Jeremy was on board so long as he didn't have
Speaker 8: to do anything gay. We were playing along with him
Speaker 8: wanting to be a porn star, says Jeremy. But Panzarella
Speaker 8: was up front with Jeremy about the risks. Magnotta could
Speaker 8: show up early and Jeremy could be alone with the
Speaker 8: kitten killer. The more Jeremy thought about it, the more
Speaker 8: the deception became too real for him. The plan all apart.
Speaker 8: Either way, Green and movin broke away and started a
Speaker 8: new closed Facebook page and stopped posting in the public group.
Speaker 8: We knew Luca was in there, says Movin'. They focused
Speaker 8: on analyzing the numerous images they found on Magnata online,
Speaker 8: from London to Russia, to Miami to Hollywood. It looked
Speaker 8: like he got around, but one particular photo sparked their
Speaker 8: interest and they were able to narrow down where it
Speaker 8: was taken precisely. Among the hundreds of pictures that mcnauda
Speaker 8: sprinkled across the Internet, many of which turned out to
Speaker 8: be photoshopped, there was one of him standing on a
Speaker 8: balcony of a high rise. Behind him, you could see
Speaker 8: a Petro Canada gas station. Now there are more than
Speaker 8: fifteen hundred Petro Canada stations across Canada. But armed with
Speaker 8: EXIF data that move and pulled, she and Green focused
Speaker 8: on Toronto. From there they dug deeper and came upon
Speaker 8: one of the sous video news articles in which Magnata
Speaker 8: talked about the paparazzi trying to photograph him outside his
Speaker 8: condo in the Toronto suburb of a Tobicoke. Now Tobicoke
Speaker 8: is small, so Green did a search and found only
Speaker 8: nine Petro Canada gas stations in the area. I started
Speaker 8: to look at Google Maps in the street view says
Speaker 8: Green and the fourth one Boom. There was the building
Speaker 8: with the balcony. So they had a name and an
Speaker 8: exact address and proof he was in Toronto at the time.
Speaker 8: Now this was enough concrete information to be taken seriously
Speaker 8: by the authorities. In January twenty eleven, movement in Green
Speaker 8: contacted the Ontario branch of the Society for Prevention to
Speaker 8: Cruelty the Animals SPCA and delivered a large document containing
Speaker 8: evidence from the video, comparisons of known photos of Magnata,
Speaker 8: was still from the video, and reasons they believed he
Speaker 8: was in Toronto. SPCA investigators and communications off Officer Brad
Speaker 8: Duer was receptive and began working with the Toronto Police.
Speaker 8: They were quick to jump on board and help us
Speaker 8: with this case. As doer of the authorities. A file
Speaker 8: was started on Magnata and the police visited the building
Speaker 8: and likely talked with the landlord. The information was correct,
Speaker 8: the photo was taken there, Magnata had lived there, but
Speaker 8: he had moved out two years prior. He left no
Speaker 8: forwarding address. The trial went cold. The trail went cold now.
Speaker 8: The post on the vacuumer Kitten Killer Facebook group began
Speaker 8: to wane and people moved on to other events. A
Speaker 8: four month old puppy mutilated in Texas, a man accused
Speaker 8: of killing fifty five dogs, and then Montana, a dog
Speaker 8: attacked with a machete in Florida. Occasionally a member would
Speaker 8: ask about the kitten killer. Eventually, Boyle randed hand reins
Speaker 8: of the vacuim Your Kitten Killer Facebook group to move
Speaker 8: in green and nicy punk, and they used it as
Speaker 8: an outpost for their newly formed Animal Beta Project. Still hopeful, they.
Speaker 3: Lucky Land Casino, asking people what's the weirdest place you've
Speaker 3: gotten lucky?
Speaker 2: Lucky? In line at the Delhi I guess.
Speaker 3: Ah, in my dentist's office more than once.
Speaker 2: Actually do I have to say?
Speaker 1: Yes? You do?
Speaker 3: In the car before my kid's PTA meeting?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 3: Yes? Excuse me? What's the weirdest place you've gotten lucky?
Speaker 3: I never win? And tell well, there you have it.
Speaker 6: You could get lucky anywhere playing at lucky landslots dot
Speaker 6: com play for free right now?
Speaker 3: Are you feeling lucky?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 3: We're just necessary foid low eighteen plus terms conditions, plus eygin.
Speaker 8: S at Google and news alerts for Luca Magnata and waited.
Speaker 8: On December second, twenty eleven, a video titled Python Christmas
Speaker 8: appeared on the site Flicks, posted from an account registered
Speaker 8: in England. The video showed a live kitten being fed
Speaker 8: to a python. Another video was posted showing a kitten
Speaker 8: duct taped to the end of a stick and being
Speaker 8: drowned in a bathtub. Green, Movin and the rest of
Speaker 8: the detectives began to research these new videos. They found
Speaker 8: that Facebook pages discussing the videos had been set up
Speaker 8: just a month earlier, and pictures of the cats were
Speaker 8: posted in November as well, a month before the videos appeared,
Speaker 8: said Green. He was talking about it. That's Luca's m o.
Speaker 8: He tries to create a buzz.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 8: To try to determine where Magnata was now, they spotted
Speaker 8: a photo a front of him in front of Buckingham Palace.
Speaker 8: Magnota had photo shot himself into photos of landmarks before,
Speaker 8: but it turns out this time he actually was in
Speaker 8: Britain in December. On December eighth, Son, UK reporter Alex
Speaker 8: West tweeted to Luca if you want to talk, follow
Speaker 8: me and I'll DM you. Magnata went to the Sun
Speaker 8: newsroom to deny allegations that he killed the kittens. The
Speaker 8: reporter Alex West then found him at the pub he
Speaker 8: was staying above and conducted a twenty minute interview. Then,
Speaker 8: on December twelfth, an email from someone calling himself John Kilbride,
Speaker 8: the name of one of the infamous Moore's victims, was
Speaker 8: sent to the Sun. It ended with, so I have
Speaker 8: to disappear for a while until people quit bothering me.
Speaker 8: But next time you hear from me, it will be
Speaker 8: in a movie I am producing that We'll have some
Speaker 8: humans in it, not just pussies. I will, however, send
Speaker 8: you a copy of the new video I'm going to
Speaker 8: be making. Once you kill and taste blood, it's impossible
Speaker 8: to stop. West said. He contacted Scotland Yard, but Magnata
Speaker 8: was gone again. Green tweeted to the RSPCA, providing them
Speaker 8: a link to the lengthy dossi on Magnata that that
Speaker 8: he had created, and also reached out the West. With
Speaker 8: no luck. Green and move And began feverishly analyzing the
Speaker 8: new activity, but Luca had again disappeared inside the Internet.
Speaker 8: But in January twenty twelve, they spotted something odd a
Speaker 8: comment made from what they believed to be one of
Speaker 8: Magnata's sock puppet Facebook accounts on a Facebook page of
Speaker 8: an obscure Montreal house DJ named three Star. It was
Speaker 8: something about without a connection to Montreal, a person would
Speaker 8: never have posted. In the middle of the video was
Speaker 8: a photo of Magnatus standing on a set of unique
Speaker 8: stone steps. It was not something that could be found
Speaker 8: in just any city. We started working on that picture.
Speaker 8: We took notes of the trees, the foliage, the street lights.
Speaker 8: We went street by street, city by city. They discovered
Speaker 8: that the same street lights and crosswalks from the photo
Speaker 8: were located in Montreal. The group quickly contacted a Toronto detective,
Speaker 8: who explained that the case was now out of his
Speaker 8: jurisdiction and they would need to file a complaint with
Speaker 8: the Montreal SPCA. After months and months of searching, they
Speaker 8: thought they might get some help. All they said was,
Speaker 8: it's just cats. There's nothing we can do about it.
Speaker 8: We don't have time for this. They just kept pressing them,
Speaker 8: but they told them to go to the police. Montreal's
Speaker 8: a big city. We didn't know exactly where he was.
Speaker 8: We didn't find a lot because he was on because
Speaker 8: a lot of it was on the internet. We didn't
Speaker 8: know when it happened and where it happened. When they
Speaker 8: went to a prosecutor and to get an arrest I warrant,
Speaker 8: they didn't succeed. At that time. Magnotta was not a murderer.
Speaker 8: On March third, a post was made in blogspot dot
Speaker 8: Ca titled necrophiliac serial killer Luca Magnata. A month later,
Speaker 8: on April twenty second and twenty fourth, four videos were
Speaker 8: posted by user Rita van Volkenberg on YouTube, all with
Speaker 8: the same title cannibal serial killer Luca Magnata, but in
Speaker 8: multiple languages. On May fifteenth, an anonymous Yahoo post talked
Speaker 8: about a video circulating on tar, the Onion router, or
Speaker 8: the deep Web. All I know is that it was
Speaker 8: shot in San Francisco. I've been trying to find it
Speaker 8: for weeks. The same day, YouTube user Alex Vulerk uploaded
Speaker 8: a video containing a still photo of a figure in
Speaker 8: a purple hooded sweatshe holding an ice pick in a
Speaker 8: stabbing position. It was titled one Lunatic, one ice pick video.
Speaker 8: A thread on www dot psychforms dot com was started
Speaker 8: declaring that the one Lunatic one ice Pick video was
Speaker 8: real and was created by a twenty year old in
Speaker 8: San Francisco. On May twenty five, twenty twelve, a video
Speaker 8: titled one Lunatic, one ice Pick was uploaded to the
Speaker 8: Gore sites the YNC and Best Gore destinations for explicit
Speaker 8: videos and images of real life blood and guts. The
Speaker 8: draw millions of monthly viewers. This seemingly edited video. This
Speaker 8: is going to be an opportunity for me to take
Speaker 8: a break right now. When we just started to talk
Speaker 8: about the video that was uploaded on May twenty fifth,
Speaker 8: it it's central to this incredible trial and this incredible story.
Speaker 8: I wanted to mention that for all the fans of
Speaker 8: True Murder, that this episode has been brought to you
Speaker 8: by Audible. Audible is the world's leading name in digital
Speaker 8: audio books, and right now you can get a thirty

Speaker 8: The Audible Audiobook experience. Now, out of those one hundred
Speaker 8: and fifty thousand titles. Especially interesting to I think this
Speaker 8: audience is three audible audiobooks, in particular In Cold Blood
Speaker 8: by Truman Compodi. Again, the book was said to have
Speaker 8: revolutionized the non fiction book writing world. With an incredible
Speaker 8: crime in a small town in America, Midwest America. One
Speaker 8: of the leading authors of the time best selling authors,
Speaker 8: decided to write about this case and became inextricably involved
Speaker 8: in one of the most incredible true crime stories the
Speaker 8: world has ever known. Hence it is one of the
Speaker 8: true crime classics. In Cold Blood by Truman Compodi. Now
Speaker 8: the audible experience is narrated by a brilliant narrator, Scott Brick,
Speaker 8: and so he takes you inside this book like you've
Speaker 8: never experienced it before with the audible audiobook. Another great
Speaker 8: offering is, of course, another true crime classic, the biggest
Speaker 8: true crime selling book of all time, written by prosecutor
Speaker 8: Vincent Bulagosi and Kent Gentry nineteen sixty nine, The almost
Speaker 8: Unbelievable Murders of the Charles Manson and his followers, and
Speaker 8: Vincent Bulagosi right from the very beginning led the investigation,
Speaker 8: was involved in the prosecution and wrote the definitive book
Speaker 8: about Charles Manson his followers, the incredible phenomena that was
Speaker 8: nineteen sixty nine and the end of the hippie era.
Speaker 8: It has been talked about for years. It's been discussed,
Speaker 8: and as much as you think you might know, you've
Speaker 8: read all about it. This is the book, the classic
Speaker 8: book Helter Skelter by Vinson Bulagosi, again narrated by the
Speaker 8: brilliant Scott Brick and Helter Skelter an incredible, incredible true
Speaker 8: crime book. Another incredible offering is the book by Damien Eckles,
Speaker 8: Life After Death. Now he was spent. He's part of
Speaker 8: the West Memphis three and these people spent. He spent
Speaker 8: eighteen years on death row, falsely accused of murdering three
Speaker 8: young boys. He and his friends were eventually exonerated in
Speaker 8: twenty eleven, and in his book he chronicles his journey
Speaker 8: right from the beginning accusation to his eventual release from prison.
Speaker 8: Now the book is just a few years old, it
Speaker 8: has fabulous reviews on the Audible site, and quite uniquely
Speaker 8: is narrated by Damien Eckles himself. And so that's Life
Speaker 8: after Death by Damian Eccles, another incredible true crime offering.

Speaker 8: slash true Murder now. The video that was uploaded on
Speaker 8: May twenty fifth, starts off with a eighties band called
Speaker 8: New Order and a song called Faith, very much like
Speaker 8: a rock video might be. There is some editing. In
Speaker 8: the first fifty three seconds or so, with the soundtrack
Speaker 8: in the background, we see a seemingly young man loosely
Speaker 8: bound with some rope, but obviously alive and seemingly not
Speaker 8: in any kind of distress, with a towel or some
Speaker 8: fabric over his face. After that fifty three seconds, it
Speaker 8: is with any kind of analysis you see the perpetrator
Speaker 8: enter into the frame and with a knife, clad in
Speaker 8: a dark hoodie and with a glove, he begins to
Speaker 8: stab body over and over and over again quickly, and
Speaker 8: in the midsection of this naked torso that's on the
Speaker 8: bed now with a black towel over the victim's head
Speaker 8: and his arm over his chest and his left arm
Speaker 8: to his side. The body of course motionless, and there
Speaker 8: is no blood surprisingly coming out of those wounds. As
Speaker 8: I say, the face is covered with a black towel
Speaker 8: or some fabric. For a good minute. The perpetrator continues
Speaker 8: to stab and stab and stab with this knife looking
Speaker 8: like about maybe a six inch or so blade, not
Speaker 8: a huge knife on the screen, it says the YNC
Speaker 8: dot com, noting the gore sight that first posted this.
Speaker 8: I believe again, like I say, there seems to be editing.
Speaker 8: And then the next scene, he does a close up
Speaker 8: with the camera. Now he's out of the frame himself,
Speaker 8: but it looks like he's grabbed the camera and is
Speaker 8: zeroing in on a close up of the wounds, and
Speaker 8: again we see numerous wounds, there's red and volved, but
Speaker 8: there's no blood oozing out. Shortly after, he then starts
Speaker 8: making long slices in the legs in the right leg
Speaker 8: of the victim, and again surprisingly there's no blood coming
Speaker 8: out immediately, but you can see very clearly these slices
Speaker 8: are deep and long and resulting in deep gashes to
Speaker 8: the flesh. The music continues and as does the editing.
Speaker 8: There's a poster of Casablanca movie on the wall. Now
Speaker 8: he shows the victim with his head decapitated, close to
Speaker 8: the body, but definitely showing the head bloodied and decapitated,
Speaker 8: now not without the towel or the fabric obscuring it.
Speaker 8: He now rotates this head, grabbing it by the hair
Speaker 8: and near a scale I guess like a measuring guide
Speaker 8: to show the head, but keeps twisting the head around.
Speaker 8: He then takes the knife, which is again there's more editing.
Speaker 8: He proceeds to slice the arm off near the shoulder,
Speaker 8: just keeps sawing at this arm, continuing to cut into
Speaker 8: the flesh, and this is obviously edited and we are
Speaker 8: seeing close ups of the actual amputation. He slices into
Speaker 8: the back of the victim again, long slices that very
Speaker 8: soon show up on the screen again a YNC dot
Speaker 8: com showing the gore sight that this has been posted to.
Speaker 8: He's doing crisscross slicing on the back of the victim.
Speaker 8: The body now is on its stomach, The arm has
Speaker 8: been severed completely off. He grabs it by the wrist
Speaker 8: and is fondling his own genitalia with the hand of
Speaker 8: the severed limb. There is no bed sheet on the
Speaker 8: bed itself. There's a fair amount great amount of blood
Speaker 8: on that mattress. He continues to defile this body with
Speaker 8: this limb. Now he shows one of the limbs with
Speaker 8: the bone jutting out, the other leg almost completely severed off.
Speaker 8: The man decapitated, now on his stomach, He continues to
Speaker 8: slice now the entire leg off the right leg. The
Speaker 8: next edit shows the body now on its stomach, legless, headless,
Speaker 8: and the hooded figure mounts the body from behind and
Speaker 8: sodomizes the legless corpse again with the music. Now it's
Speaker 8: edited and shows both legs cut off just below the buttox.
Speaker 8: He is then now shown with a knife, a steak
Speaker 8: knife and a fork crisscross cutting into the flesh with
Speaker 8: some difficulty trying to get a again, it's quite a
Speaker 8: significant chunk of flesh from this victim's buttox. And then
Speaker 8: he takes that piece of flesh that he has some
Speaker 8: difficulty finally cutting from the buttox and appears to put
Speaker 8: the piece of flesh on the fork to his own
Speaker 8: mouth a small dog. He continues cutting with the knife
Speaker 8: and fork A small dog enters the scene and begins licking, biting,
Speaker 8: and nibbling on the flesh of the leg the stump
Speaker 8: of the leg of the victim. Somewhat later, he shows
Speaker 8: stills of his handiwork, the severed arm in the freezer
Speaker 8: of a fridge, and the leg of the decapitated corpse
Speaker 8: in various scenes. As I say, it's edited, and finally
Speaker 8: he takes the severed arm again, lays on the bed
Speaker 8: it removes his clothes, but all you can see is
Speaker 8: his widespread legs and him again defiling the body part
Speaker 8: with his on his own genitalia, masturbating with it. And
Speaker 8: then shows at the end shots close ups of his
Speaker 8: finished handiwork and closeups of the severed limbs themselves, the
Speaker 8: head and shows the measurement the head before and after
Speaker 8: being severed. And that is the end of the video. Now,
Speaker 8: Luca magnota, Now, Luca magnot up.
Speaker 5: Pardon me?
Speaker 8: Now. Magnata flew from Montreal to Paris on May using
Speaker 8: a false passport under the name Kirk Trammel. His cell
Speaker 8: phone signal was traced to a hotel in Bagnolette, but
Speaker 8: he had left by the time police arrived. Pornographic magazines
Speaker 8: and an airsickness bag were found in the hotel room.
Speaker 8: He had contacts in Paris from a previous visit in
Speaker 8: twenty ten, and police were following a large framed man
Speaker 8: who had been in contact with Magnata. Another man he
Speaker 8: stayed with for two nights. Did not realize who he
Speaker 8: was until he had left. Magneta then boarded a Eurolines
Speaker 8: bus at the Bagnolette coach station bound for Berlin, Germany,
Speaker 8: and arrived May thirty first. Frank Rupert's first contact with
Speaker 8: Magnata was April or May twenty twelve, when they hooked
Speaker 8: up via an online chat line chat site called gay Romeo.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 8: He initially expected Magnata in Paris on June fourth. Instead,
Speaker 8: he arrived May twenty seventh. He spent a few days
Speaker 8: there first and arrived in Berlin on May thirty first.
Speaker 8: He arrived in Berlin with a few thousand euros, no luggage,
Speaker 8: and reportedly looking for a fresh start after breaking up
Speaker 8: with his lover in the French capital. Over the four days,
Speaker 8: the two men used Google Translate on their respective laptops
Speaker 8: to communicate, as neither spoke the other's language. They spent
Speaker 8: much of their time together shopping, eating and drinking. They
Speaker 8: didn't have sex because Magnata was not his type and
Speaker 8: appeared much older than in his online profile age of
Speaker 8: twenty two or twenty three. During their time together, Rubert
Speaker 8: only knew the accused as Kirk or by his gay
Speaker 8: Romeo user name William twenty three to twenty three. He
Speaker 8: took some photos of Magnata because he said he wanted
Speaker 8: to set up a new gay Romeo account, so he
Speaker 8: began working on as an escort in Berlin. They went
Speaker 8: to gay bars so Magnauta could talk to other foreigners
Speaker 8: about their escort experiences. They socialized for four days without
Speaker 8: anything untoward really happening. Magnata was seemed generous and often
Speaker 8: bought drinks and meals for others. On June fourth, twenty twelve,
Speaker 8: the pair had parted ways for a few hours because
Speaker 8: Rubert was not comfortable with the q staying alone at
Speaker 8: his apartment while he ran an errand Rubert told Magnata
Speaker 8: he should go to an internet cafe to pass the time.
Speaker 8: It was during that time a part that Rubert picked
Speaker 8: up a newspaper and saw a mug shot of Magnata
Speaker 8: alongside a story describing an international manhunt for his arrest
Speaker 8: on suspicion of murder. Now Rubert contacted police and waited
Speaker 8: at a nearby station. A man named cadd and Laeisly
Speaker 8: was working at his job at an internet cafe in Berlin.
Speaker 8: At eleven am. A man walked in wearing sunglasses and
Speaker 8: makeup and said, monjour internet now and lay Visley was
Speaker 8: he would describe himself as a news junkie. Recognize the
Speaker 8: faith but face, but couldn't quite place it. Now. From
Speaker 8: his workstation, he was looking at the monitors of his
Speaker 8: customers and noticed that the man in sunglasses was viewing
Speaker 8: numerous articles about a killer in Montreal that and his
Speaker 8: lady and Lady Isley had read about. And then it
Speaker 8: clicked this was him now, and lazily flagged down a
Speaker 8: group of cadets in training that happened to be passing by,
Speaker 8: and they immediately confronted Magnata, who initially cave him a
Speaker 8: false name and quickly told them you got me, and
Speaker 8: they found on his monitor Magnata had been googling photos
Speaker 8: and articles about himself. Magnata was nabbed and police seized
Speaker 8: personal items from Rubert's apartment right at that time. The
Speaker 8: German police wished him a happy birthday, and he told
Speaker 8: the police that it wasn't his birthday, and police insisted, oh, yes,
Speaker 8: it is your birthday. You could have been next. Now,
Speaker 8: the murder tape was made from raw video files that
Speaker 8: were later recovered from Magnata's camera. The full unedited tape
Speaker 8: included the actual sounds recorded during the murder. The long
Speaker 8: version of the video revealed that Lynn's throat had been
Speaker 8: slashed prior to the brutal stabbings. I guess, hence no blood,
Speaker 8: and that the likely cause of death was the cut
Speaker 8: to the throat. And in the long version of the
Speaker 8: video it is confirmed, not just hinted at, that there
Speaker 8: was cannibalism, acts of cannibalism. Now Luca Magnata is arrested
Speaker 8: in Berlin, he waives his extradition, he's brought back to Canada,
Speaker 8: and this trial begins. And this trial ended in December.
Speaker 8: It is now February twenty fifteen. It ended in December.
Speaker 8: And at the trial, of course, it took ten weeks.
Speaker 8: I called those kinds of witnesses, and there was as
Speaker 8: I pains, painstakingly brought you through all the evidence that
Speaker 8: was used for their psychiatric defense, that he was insane
Speaker 8: at the time of the murder, that he was insane
Speaker 8: before that, that he was schizophrenic, and ultimately they had
Speaker 8: testimony from psychiatrists to say that he was insane, that
Speaker 8: he was schizophrenic, that he had been diagnosed as having
Speaker 8: psychiatric issues before and as a result, he would not
Speaker 8: be responsible for his murder. He did not could not
Speaker 8: discern right from wrong now. At trial, Luca Rocco Magnauta
Speaker 8: said voices instructed him to kill Jean Lynn amid his
Speaker 8: own fears a Chinese student was a Canadian government agent
Speaker 8: who had been sent to kill him, and a psychiatrist
Speaker 8: testified at trial Magnauda said, something forced me to do
Speaker 8: it now. Twenty months after the slaying, Magnauta began providing
Speaker 8: the psychiatrist Allard with details of the events, telling her
Speaker 8: Linn replied to his advertisement on Craiglist seeking a bondage partner.
Speaker 8: He said he met Lynn for the first time that
Speaker 8: night near a subway station, before walking several blocks back
Speaker 8: to Magnauta's apartment. Magnauta told Alard that they drank wine
Speaker 8: and had sex, and Magnata was the first to be
Speaker 8: tied up, but complained Linn was going too fast and
Speaker 8: was hurting him, striking him about the head. Now. Alert
Speaker 8: said that Magnauta then became very anxious and took some
Speaker 8: sleep medication, and that Lynn also asked for some as well.
Speaker 8: At one point, Magnauta said he saw a black car
Speaker 8: parked outside his building and became paranoid about a government
Speaker 8: conspiracy involving Lynn. Alert said Macnauta began hearing voices telling
Speaker 8: him to tie up Linn and to cut it, and
Speaker 8: to do it. He's from the government. Subsequently, Magnata slid
Speaker 8: his road and decapitated him. Jean Lynn was the unfortunate
Speaker 8: victim of a psychotic man. Alert said mister Magnauta killed
Speaker 8: who he thought was a government agent. The psychiatrist testified
Speaker 8: that Magnauda said he published the one Lunatic, one ice
Speaker 8: Pick video of Lynn in an effort to shut out
Speaker 8: the voices before his slaying, and had reportedly consented having
Speaker 8: their sexual acts filmed. Six days earlier, Magnata had a
Speaker 8: similar encounter with an unidentified man, but with Lynn. Something
Speaker 8: just happened in my brain he said. Once Lynn's body
Speaker 8: was dismembered, Magnata said he kept hearing voices telling him
Speaker 8: to give it back to government, and various parts of
Speaker 8: Linn's body were sent in packages to political party offices
Speaker 8: in Ottawa and two elementary schools in British Columbia. Magnata
Speaker 8: said he considered sending Lynz Torso but could not figure
Speaker 8: out how as why body parts were mailed to two
Speaker 8: Vancouver schools. Magnata told Alert he discussed the western Canadian
Speaker 8: city with Lynn. He hardly slept after lynn saying slaying,
Speaker 8: he said, but he did remember eating pizza at one point,
Speaker 8: and he said, it's very scary how I could do that,
Speaker 8: referring to the killing now. The obsession with government and
Speaker 8: spying was present when his schizophreny was initially diagnosed, Alard said,
Speaker 8: and Magnata told Alard that antipsychotic medications helped ease the paranoia,
Speaker 8: but he didn't take them all the time. He said.
Speaker 8: The fear of being spied on led to frequent address changes,
Speaker 8: multiple online profiles, the use of a wig, and various
Speaker 8: changes of cell phone numbers. Alard said he changed his
Speaker 8: name to Magnata and part of that same fear, but
Speaker 8: also because he wanted to get away from his family.
Speaker 8: He chose the surname either for a video game character
Speaker 8: or a popular winery in Ontario's Niagara region. Well, Magnata
Speaker 8: didn't think he was currently being spied on. He was
Speaker 8: convinced it happened in the past. In an earlier testimony,
Speaker 8: Alert said Magnauta told him about an email he sent
Speaker 8: a British tabloid for telling the murder of a human being.
Speaker 8: He said that this was only meant as a threat
Speaker 8: to a journalist who had ambushed him after talking about
Speaker 8: the kitten killing video. Now the Crown contended that the
Speaker 8: communication to the London Sun suggested Magnauta was clearly planning
Speaker 8: the slaying up the six months in advance of Lynn's killing.
Speaker 8: But Alerd said he told that Magnauda said he was
Speaker 8: only trying to intimidate the reporter, Alex West, and he
Speaker 8: said that magnaut had always thought his plan to kill
Speaker 8: someone was stupid and showed a real lack of judgment.
Speaker 8: Alert told the jury Magnauta thought his tactic of sending
Speaker 8: the email had worked because no story was published following
Speaker 8: his encounter with West. Alert said that he believed Magnata
Speaker 8: was suffering from schizophrenia and was in a psychosis when
Speaker 8: he killed Lynn. He talked also about that MacNaught admitted
Speaker 8: making up his affair with convicted killer caller Hamalka in
Speaker 8: two thousand and seven. He said Magnauda was seeking notoriety,
Speaker 8: but primarily wanted people to believe he was the victim
Speaker 8: of harassment. He said the Homalka story spread quickly and
Speaker 8: Magnauda lost control. He said that Magnata said he was
Speaker 8: not proud of this, he felt ashamed. Alert admitted that
Speaker 8: Magnauta said he hit his schizophrenia symptoms from Montreal doctors
Speaker 8: a few weeks before Lynn's killing because he was re
Speaker 8: quartly afraid that revealing them would prevent him from moving
Speaker 8: to France to start a new life. It was a
Speaker 8: plan he hatched a few weeks earlier, convinced the government
Speaker 8: was spying on him, and he said Magnata went to
Speaker 8: great lengths to hide his schizophrenia because of the reaction
Speaker 8: others had towards his father, who also had the mental disease.
Speaker 8: I don't want to be like that, he told her.
Speaker 8: They were afraid of him. At court, They asked, why
Speaker 8: was Magnata wearing Lyne's hat hours after the Chinese students
Speaker 8: slaying in dismemberment if he believed Lynn was an agent?
Speaker 8: Was it kept as a trophy? It was meant as
Speaker 8: a message to the government. Why was the so called
Speaker 8: murder video of Lyn's gruesome death published on a Gore
Speaker 8: website and not sent directly to the government. Why did
Speaker 8: Magnata leave his apartment at two am if he thought
Speaker 8: government officials spying him were in a dark vehicle outside.
Speaker 8: The trial lasted ten weeks. The jury deliberated for three
Speaker 8: days and then asked the judge a question, is a
Speaker 8: personality disorder considered a mental disorder? And the judge answered
Speaker 8: back yes. The only question left to the side was
Speaker 8: whether the mental illness rendered him unable to know right
Speaker 8: from wrong. After eight and a half days, the jury
Speaker 8: came back with a first degree murder conviction. On February
Speaker 8: seventeenth of twenty fifteen, Rukee Luca Rocco Magnata formally withdrew
Speaker 8: his appeal of a conviction in the first degree murder
Speaker 8: of John Lynn, deciding ultimately didn't want to go through
Speaker 8: a possible second trial. Magnata appeared before the Quebec Court
Speaker 8: of Appeal by video conference from jail on Wednesday, where
Speaker 8: a judge asked him if he was abandoning his appeal voluntarily.
Speaker 8: Magnata replied that he was and didn't need more time
Speaker 8: to consider his decision. Now, the dropping of the appeal
Speaker 8: could facilitate a meeting between Lynn's father, Duran Lynn, and Magnata.
Speaker 8: Magnautas Montreal lawyer and a Montreal lawyer who represented John
Speaker 8: Lynn's family said they'd be open to a meeting with
Speaker 8: Manada when the appeal issue was out of the way.
Speaker 8: Lynn's father, Duran Lynn, wants Magnauta to clear up many
Speaker 8: unanswered questions he has about his son's death. He wants
Speaker 8: to hear something, some kind of response, some remorse from
Speaker 8: the killer of his son, and he would like to
Speaker 8: learn more about what happened that night. Magnauta's Toronto based lawyer,
Speaker 8: Luke Leclair said Magnauta too would be open to a
Speaker 8: meeting with Durhan Lynn. I want to thank you very
Speaker 8: much for listening to this very dry recitation of an
Speaker 8: incredible crime. There has been no books so far about
Speaker 8: the Luca magnetic trial, some of the best information and
Speaker 8: some really good writing, despite my poor attempt at narrating.
Speaker 8: It came from Rolling Stone article about animal activists being
Speaker 8: involved in the hunt for Luca Magnata. So you look
Speaker 8: that up in a past issue of Rolling Stone. I
Speaker 8: believe it's animal instinct. I believe that the article is
Speaker 8: called and that's where I gave this incredible amount of
Speaker 8: information with all the American ties and all these activists
Speaker 8: getting online and trying to hunt down this kitten killer.
Speaker 8: And as they warned the authorities at that time, and
Speaker 8: I didn't mention, they said, this guy, these people end
Speaker 8: up being serial killers. They end up moving from animals
Speaker 8: to killers. And so while they're on the trail a
Speaker 8: little too late, Luca Magnat has struck. And that's why
Speaker 8: we call this episode Psycho Killer Superstar. Remember this episode
