References to a horrific video believed depict the dismemberment and murder of a man in Montreal first appeared on the Internet two weeks before body parts were found in the mail in Ottawa.
Montreal police have not yet said exactly when they think the murder at the centre of the bizarre case occurred and the timeline has been clouded by an online reference to the video long before they discovered a dismembered torso and identified *advertiser censored* actor Luka Magnotta as the suspect.
An unknown user wrote a post titled “1 lunatic 1 ice pick video” in a message posted on a psychology and mental health discussion forum on May 15 — ten days before a copy of the video with the exact same title turned up on a Canadian website devoted to gory images.
The psychforums.com user with the alias anonymousgirl4 referred to a video of a male from San Francisco, about age 20, who made snuff films depicting cannibalism, necrophilia and murder — the same images in the videos linked to the Montreal death.
“I am doing research on this and I would VERY much appreciate any and all the advice and help you could give me,” the user wrote. “Is he a psychopath or Anti Social or what? I know we don’t have a lot of details but based on the crime its self. Thanks in advance.”
There is nothing in the post, other than the title and general description of its awful crimes, that specifically links it to the now-infamous video tied to the Montreal incident.
In a follow-up post in the anti-social personality forum, anonymousgirl4 wrote, “I don’t know who he is. I don’t believe he has ever been arrested or caught. I am assuming ‘my theory,’ is that he makes these videos for paying clients around the world who pay big money to watch.”
The user claimed to have seen the video on TOR, a “deep Internet” network of proxy servers used to conceal online identities and which some use to trade in illicit material.
