Found Deceased MI - Kevin Bacon, 25, met someone online, Swartz Creek, 24 Dec 2019 *Arrest*

And Bruce McArthur too. Also used an app frequently to find his victims.

Stephen Port too.

That is very true. It's also possible the intent was not murder but the sexual encounter went awry. Doesn't change the tragedy or outcome, of course, but possibly an angle the defense will take- JMO.

Sent you a PM.

I see that M.L. is charged with "open murder," which covers both first degree murder (intentional, premeditated murder) and second degree murder (intentional but not premeditated murder or murder resulting from extreme indifference to human life). The open murder charge would cover either circumstance (intentional murder or sexual encounter gone awry resulting in death). But if the perpetrator kidnapped Kevin and then death occurred, whether intentionally or unintentionally, I wonder if the perpetrator could be charged with felony murder. (I'm not an attorney. These are just some thoughts about charges the perpetrator might face.)

Missing Swartz Creek man found dead; one arrested on murder charge

So the charge is open murder for now. If this stands, the jury will decide whether it's first or second degree murder.

IMO it's pretty early in. Tox. screens take weeks even months. Crime scene forensics can be delayed in a over worked Lab. I think the Open Murder charge "could" change as facts present. Or not.

The guy who owns the house where Keven was found has a pseudonym account on Facebook. From the looks of it, he is pretty heavy into the bdsm scene, which IMO makes it possible this was a sexual encounter scene that went horribly wrong. It may be that Kevin went voluntarily...lots of people into bdsm. If he came from work, he likely had extra clothes to change for the meetup which would explain the clothes in the car. Horribly sad outcome, my heart goes out to his family.

Welcome Carin T. a gentle reminder until person is named in Main Stream Media we cant discuss. You might want to delete it. You will get the hang of it here.

Thanks. Is it okay if I just remove the name?

Yes remove name and link and again welcome

Do we know yet if the owner of the house is the same guy who was involved in the man escaping from the consensual encounter?

This case is heavy on my heart.

 

[Rosiebones]

Would there be charges if he died of natural causes like a heart attack when engaged in a consensual situation?

While we are on the topic of main stream media, I am wondering why they haven't publicized the name of the person arrested. Isn't the fact that someone has been arrested and jailed a matter of public record? I ask because the media usually seems to be more aggressive about reporting this type of information. What are your thoughts on that, Bravo?

According to voter records, the owner of the house was born in 1969; which would make him 50. That’s the age of the man arrested.

The owner of the house on Tyrrell where Kevin was found? Is that the same house as the other situation? I saw a picture and it looked different, but did not see an address anywhere.

Haven’t seen this posted yet, but they are withholding his name until he’s arraigned on Monday.

Kevin Bacon's body has been found

I don't think we know, but Morrice is a village of 898 people according to google. Seems likely.

Great sleuthing. Once he is named have at er. With MSM that is.

No confirmation in MSM but it is quite likely, MOO.

Yes it is public record but has he been arraigned yet? Likely not. Some Jail/Prison/ Court sites don't update in real time (for future reference) and it is the weekend.

 

[Carin Thorpe]

I wonder if maybe someone else was involved, so LE hasn’t released the name because it’s ongoing?

 

[Bravo]

Oh I see pg. back arrainment Monday

Would there be charges if he died of natural causes like a heart attack when engaged in a consensual situation?

No but wouldn't a not guilty person call it in. Rather be embarrassed perhaps than look suspicious. IMO
