Follow the MoneyThis makes me wonder: How is Luka financing his travel and escape? Where is the money coming from? Might he have accomplice(s) in the community of underground extreme *advertiser censored* secretly financing his crimes?
Thoughts?
He's known to have stolen identities and credit cards, which he used to purchase $1000s worth of electronics and luxury goods. I would assume he's continued the habit, and/or doing some hooking. Considering the craziness he left on Montreal's Craigslist Men-Seeking-Men section before the murder, it'd be a good bet to pay close attention to that and similar online sex classifieds in the various locales he's thought to have run-off to.
I tried searching the thread for the connection to Holland and cannot find anything. Do you mind if I ask the significance? I found something just weird on FB, but if I saw anything else I missed it. I will never completely catch up with the thread because I can't stop myself from reading all the info he has posted online. Thanks in advance.
The Holland connection is that the threatening and foreshadowing email he sent to the Sun after being interviewed by/intimidating Alex West was allegedly traced to an IP address in Holland. Just shows he likes to get around, and maybe at least has SOME knowledge of IP tracing, or what's possible with it. He could have just used Tor or a similar IP-hiding/obfuscating system to do it. Considering how many "sockpuppet" accounts he has all over the 'net, and what he does with 'em, I'd be surprised if he wasn't already hiding his IP from the jump. But if not, that should lead to his arrest pretty quick, because I don't think he can stay offline very long.
[EDIT - Okay, yeah, he obviously knows abobut such things, and I would assume, is using them, making IP tracing much more difficult for LE.]
On that note, this Rip-Off Report page was posted early in the first thread, with someone pointing out that they thought the second post was definitely LM and they had posted recently. Looking a little more closely, I think we can plainly state that all but the first commenter are likely LM as well, including the original post:

All the posters share LM's writing style and vocabulary, as well as typos and spelling errors, or copy/paste with slight modifications from the Encyclopedia Dramatica article and similar postings about him. The posters' names are all Italian or Russian:
Mario Fucatti,
Dima Starikova, and most importantly,
Tony Luciforia, (come on, Lucifer?) who has posted multiple times on May 25th. See this comment "Tony" put on someone's report complaining about a pesonal trainer in Ajax, Ontario here:

LOL, this is so funny, I used to go to high school with this guy. ( Georges Vanier in Toronto )
He was a closet case back then and probably still is one today, he is also a pathalogical liar thats why I stopped being friends with him. I just searched for him because the guy I was dating ( Niko) also went to Georges Vanier and I asked about Nader. I used to go to his place and he would make moves on me when we were alone in his bedroom, I am serious. Most closet homosexuals ruin their lives because they continue to deny who they really are. I see now he is a personal trainer in ajax? omg who would ever want to live there???
If he is doing steroids it would explain why his face looks so horrible and all those tattoos on his body are so horrible.
Also he introduced me to Luka Magnotta ( A serial killer) about 8 years ago, im not even joking lol.
That was so ****ed up. I think he wanted to have a threesome both of them are really weird and im glad I stopped talking to both of them all together. Even Niko I dont talk to anymore, what is it with these people? Be careful, I confronted him about his bisexuality and he got all defensive and ran away and lied and tried to make me look bad. He lies about practically everything in his life in order to make himself look better. So the accusations above are probably true. I would stay clear of this freak.
I saved photos of him and Luka just in case he trys to deny that one too lol. I should of got pics of us together, because he will probably deny he knows me lol. He met me in highschool when I was a guy and then he started stalking me and asking me to meet up with him and Luka so I agreed and then he lied and said he was straight? Anyways, I have more info at my website contact me to talk. Im on TGirl Forums.

Warning, there're *advertiser censored* images all over the tgirlforums site.] The TGirl Forums link goes to a profile page for a transexual escort/*advertiser censored* actress, Barbie Swallows. (I do not think she's Nina Arsenault, the transwoman from the reality show interviewed on the news.) I thought it was just a random profile until I noticed she was in Toronto. Searched for her postings on the board, and most recent one is in a thread where another poster accuses her of having been involved with LM years ago, here:
http://tgirlforums.com/yabbse/showthread.php?186442-Is-this-the-same-Luka-Magnotta Her reply is succinct, and fitting:
Can someone please delete this garbage thread associating my name with this killer. Thanks!
Turns out, LM looks to have posted to the site as well in Jan. 2009, giving us another username ("malemodelfan") and a timeframe reference, if he's not lying.

Also, on the Hollywood sign dismemberment case:
http://www.madcowprod.com/2012/05/30/fbi-investigating-hollywood-head/ The FBI is apprently investigating as of a few days ago, and it may be drug-related. I'd lower it a little on the "possibly related to LM" scale if any of this info is true:
The murder-decapitation of a 66-year old man whose head was found beneath the Hollywood Sign four months ago is now a Federal case, the MadCow Morning News has learned. The development is a sure sign that the LAPD’s theory about a gay love triangle gone wrong is no longer being pursued.
A more plausible reason for the beheading emerged in an angle that was barely reported at the time: Medellin went missing after leaving on a “business trip” to Tijuana.
Last week the Mad Cow MorningNews reported exclusively that the decapitated head found in a plastic bag on a hiking trail in the shadow of the Hollywood Sign four months ago belonged to a man known to local authorities as the former "concierge" in Los Angeles for the now-defunct Cali drug cartel.
Sorry for the long, info-dump post. I registered late last night, hoping to post this stuff, but found out new users have to be manually approved. I understand why there's such a policy, but it definitely could hurt your efforts in hot-case investigations like this one.
