ARRESTED- Luka Rocco Magnotta:1st deg murder charge;INTERPOL alert #5

[HastingsChi]

I am also interested if there was any surveillance video of the guy with Eric/Luka. This article says that they "clearly knew each other".


'Another man with a very well-honed physique then came in and started talking to him. They clearly knew each other.

'They both started trying to chat up other clients before they paid in cash and left, walking off in the direction of a nearby hotel.'

A receptionist at a four-star hotel near the Champs-Elysees also told us she believed Magnotta had stayed there the same night.

The Paris police source said: 'She later identified him from a photo

When I read the comment mentioning "other clients" my mind immediately wondered if there is a possible escort connection.

I'd also speculate, and basing it on one's own experience from my youth, that sometimes when you're out and about, have a few cocktails, meet someone new that you click with and decide to have a sleepover party you tend to be feeling happy and chat up random people and just being pleasant-- whether it be a hotel lobby or elevator of a condo, sometimes in those situations you just become a chatty Cathy...

I'm not so sure how credible DK really is and am skeptical of his comments.

Here's why:
- His initial timeline as to when Magnotta talked to him about wanting to get into mainstream acting and subsequently invited him over to discuss further implied that the conversation occurred after the murder occurred. When i first viewed his comments I was suspect because given the smell of death that permeated Magnotta's apartment, there's no way he would have guests over.

- DK is a failed actor, a one hit wonder whose comments strike me as opportunistic. The apartment complex where the crime occurred is a cheap, unappealing abode. I doubt Magnotta actually had a discussion about how to be a successful actor with DK-- No one asks cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch how to reach that pinnacle of success...

Not trying to sleuth a non-suspect, just attempting to raise some important aspects that directly relates to evidence and the timeline of events.

I agree with you 100%. I know the area because I live in Montreal, and that area, and that building is known as a place for the down and out. I think DK is looking for another shot at his 5 minutes of fame.

I'm no techie. Far from being an Information Technology expert but why would one need to take the computer? Can't his online surfing be done with other tools?

Also, we have proof he was at computer station #25 and we have an eyewitness. We have him in the surveillance video being taken away by LE. We have his admission of who he is and he was fingerprinted for identification.

I'm not so sure the computer itself would reveal anymore than LE already would have on him. Like cellpone pings,wouldn't computer tracking be done in a similar way? The actual cellphone (as an example) is not always needed. As long as they can connect the suspect cellphone to the pings, I would think it would be more than enough evidence.

JMO from little knowledge I know of the topic. Thoughts?

Because its very possible the computer had keystroke logging software on it. If it did, the authorities could use that information to gain access to his accounts. Even if it didn't, you'd think they would confiscate the computer long enough to at least check.

"He has been offered a lawyer but I do not know whether he has accepted," Redlich said.

"I would be surprised if he were set free after all that he have heard from Canada about this," Redlich said after visiting Magnotta in his cell.

"I saw him about one hour ago. He was wearing clothes given to him by the police. He was asleep on a wooden bed with a mattress in a tidy German prison cell that measures 1.5 metres by five metres. After having bread, jam and for breakfast. He also had a light meal of bread and cheese last night."

I read that the German police would hold him, but not do any investigation because it is a Canadian case. Could be why the computer wasn't confiscated. However, it does look like they are not allowing it's further use if the chair folded up to it is any indication. We really have no way of knowing what they are doing and IMO, we should be wary to make assumptions based on a few pictures.

UPDATE:

http://www.newstalk1010.com/News/localnews/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10390064


<<<Berlin Police say Magnotta began a meeting with the judge in his solitary confinement cell in a city jail around 2:15 p.m. local time on Tuesday.

Berlin Police spokesman Stefan Redlich says the judge has to decide whether to continue holding Magnotta or to release him. German laws say Magnotta can only be jailed for 48 hours and that expires at midnight. It's believed that Canada's formal extradition request must be in German hands no later than Friday.

Redlich says Magnotta's night in a 1.5 by five metre room with a window and wooden bed by was "quiet". Magnotta ate dinner Monday night and breakfast Tuesday morning. At some point before nine o'clock Monday night, Redlich says Magnotta asked for a light for a cigarette.>>>

Agree with you that any links to Mr. Medellin need to be explored in relation to Eric Newman. Just don't know where to start looking to try and establish the connection. I guess it would first have to be established that Eric was in the area at the time Mr. Medellin was murdered.

I'm really happy that the Medellin case has recaptured our interest. I posted in the Medellin thread months ago that I was very troubled by the way that all coverage of that case ceased in late January. It baffles me. About once a week I search Medellin's name hoping that there would be a new tidbit of information or follow-up, but there has been none.

Good morning fine people of WS I am new here too. I was lurking since this whole thing started, but signed up and posted my first comment ironically only about 20 mins before he was caught. It was very neat being one of the first people to hear he was caught.. as a member of WS who was also on at the time..was the first to say they heard from a German chat room he was arrested in Berlin (forget who that was ..but BRAVO and damn good catch!) A quick Google search turned up nothing...which goes to show how early the news was posted on here..about 10-15 mins after it had been announced on WS it started showing up on Google reported by somewhat reputable websites...and an hour or two before the news got to the US (where I am from). I have to say that alone was MOST impressive...good job guys!!! I am quite honored to be in this forum with such intelligent, tenacious and well spoken people. Oh the irony that LM couldn't even hold up to these ranks here....

As the founder/president of an animal welfare non-profit organization I have been following LM for a few years now..but unfortunately he is not the only person who has brutally tortured and killed animals...so until about a week ago..to me he was just another creepy murderer in the making. I did not see the kitten videos but I watched the "Lunatic" video in the very beginning when it was still thought to be fake. Even though it was reportedly fake...after watching it once..I knew it was real. That was when I couldn't turn away from this train wreck. I have no degree- but have years of Psychology from my college years, and the "why?" and "what IS really normal to him..what is HIS reality?" and "is this a physiological defect or a mental one...both?"...gosh the questions in my mind about this person are vast. From an animal welfare perspective, to me there has always been the link "it starts with animals, then progresses to humans" but this is not "just another" example. This one is different and just might start to make people open their eyes about the progression of a murderer. Its sad that his actions were ignored until now. IMO he should have been getting the attention he was craving a few years ago...from the authorities.

I hope that we can get some useful studies out of this case that can be implemented into the public's mind as to how to handle animal abusers and precautions that should be taken. In the US we are fighting to get animal abuser registries that would help in identifying were people like LM are, and enable people to protect not only their pets from them but their families as well. Right now laws are protecting the rights of the animals abusers..but we hope to start changing that...as I am actively involved in influencing legislation in my area.

What I am trying to say is.. I do feel some good can come out of this horrible event. This shocking event SHOULD open peoples eyes. Jun Lin's death can be the "line in the sand". I for one will be collecting all of this data and compiling a report that I will use in my work to get people like this more regulated here in the US. The fact is if he wasn't left to his own devices for these past two years this might not have happened. Its too early to really know much about what happened as there are still so many unanswered questions.

With all that being said...do we have a way of creating documents with all the definitive info we are gathering? (ex verified sock puppet accounts, comments he has made from his known accounts and others, photoshopped pics and real ones, timelines etc..etc etc) ..we have so much great info coming on this thread but it's be prudent if we organized and filed it for our investigation and for the authorities should they need it. In my organization we share google docs and also have a room on FB in which we share docs if this site doesn't have the capabilities.

I am new and don't fully understand all the functions of this great site yet, so any advice is welcomed patience with learning the in's and out's of this site is appreciated!

BTW- I took last night and reflected on Jun Lin's life and prayed for his family. It gave me great peace, and it's what is driving me make sure his death changes things. RIP JL <3

If he uses the same password for all his accounts, (I'm guessing he does, although I have no idea how he even keeps up with account names lol) then they could find out if the posts made by anonymousgirl4 and anonymousgirl33 along with alexisvaloranreich were actually Luka Magnotta himself posting. (anonymousgirl4 made a post on May 15th asking for the 1 Lunatic 1 Icepick video. anonymousgirl33 made a video on the same day with the picture of Magnotta with a Casablanca poster behind him and an icepick in his hand.) May 15th is 9-10 days before the murder occurred. I would say that could prove intent, although having a victim tied up and seeing him alive on the video, and his body chopped up right after on that same video, it kinda proves it wasn't a heat of the moment crime.

Also, if he has a personal diary, we could see if he admits to other crimes. You would need his password to find this information.

I'm not so sure how credible DK really is and am skeptical of his comments.

Here's why:
- His initial timeline as to when Magnotta talked to him about wanting to get into mainstream acting and subsequently invited him over to discuss further implied that the conversation occurred after the murder occurred.

I think his testimony is legitimate. I heard his testimony right after the foot was found. He said that Magnotta was having a "bad hair day" He may have embellished it though, because I remember him saying that they were just friendly neighbors that didn't know each other that well. He said that he had mentioned to him that he played a murderer in that movie. I don't believe he said they were in one another's house. I thought he said it was outside. I never got the impression that this conversation was after the murder. It is known though that DK saw Magnotta after the murder. That is when he made the "bad hair day" statement.



Does anyone think it's odd that Magnotta was "not feeling well" and "crying" on the flight? You would think a guy that could do what he did to animals/people would have no emotions or feelings.

To catch a killer

The massive manhunt for the alleged Canadian Cannibal is over.

City police, provincial police, federal investigators, Interpol, and throngs of other investigators from two continents were in on the hunt. Suspect Luka Magnotta bragged about being a master of disguises, a regular Ralph Ellison kind of Invisible Man. He hopscotched countries in a bid to disappear.

And where did they find this peverted *advertiser censored* star accused of murdering and dismembering a young man in Montreal? Holed up in a seedy German internet café reading the news about himself.

All roads do lead to reporting.
