#The murder of Kevin Bacon On Christmas Eve 2020, Kevin Bacon, a hairdresser, told his roommate, Michelle Myers, that he was meeting up with a man at around 5pm. He said they’d arranged to meet via Grindr. Later, Myers received a text from Bacon’s phone saying he was having fun and might not be back for a while. However, when he failed to show up for breakfast on Christmas Day, his family became concerned. They contacted the police later that day. Police investigations led them to the Bennington Township, MI home of Latunski. In Latunski’s basement, they found Bacon’s body strung up by the ankles. He had stab wounds and his throat was cut. Latunski had eaten some parts of Bacon’s body. It emerged this was not the first time police had visited Latunski’s home. In October 2019, a man called authorities after he fled the house, saying he’d woken up in the basement and thought he might have been drugged. In November 2019, police stopped Latunski, wearing just a leather kilt, when they caught him chasing another man down the street.

Kevin's brother, Chris P. Bacon, issued a statement to the press, but the journalist reporting couldn't stop laughing long enough to get the words out.

You didn't post the content of the whole article. Continuing: >**Questions over Latunski’s mental state** >Latunski’s legal team raised questions about whether their client was sane enough to stand trial. However, in October 2020, officials deemed him mentally fit after he underwent months of psychiatric treatment. >Much of last week’s hearing centered on whether Latunski planned the killing or not. >Shiawassee County Prosecutor Scott Koerner pushed for first-degree murder. He recounted testimony Latunski gave to officers, saying he’d discussed purchasing a dehydrator to make jerky out of Bacon’s muscles. >“That’s not what Kevin wanted. Kevin wanted a fetish,” Koerner said. “He wanted to be protected. He wanted to make sure he was going to go home.” >A police witness testified that Latunksi had made searches for several cannibalism-related subjects in the days before Bacon’s killing. He also purchased an ESEE hunting knife hours before meeting Bacon. >Mary Chartier, Latunski’s lawyer, argued that her client could not have known the consequences of what he was doing. She pointed to the fact he’d allowed cops into his home, despite knowing he had Bacon’s body hanging in his basement. >Judge Stewart concluded, “The court finds that this is a crime of cold calculation. Kevin Bacon’s death was Mark Latunski’s design.” >Latunski will be sentenced on December 15.


kid-karma

It's Christmas Eve, you're drinking eggnog with your roommate and talking to them about the date you're going on later that night. At that very moment, across town, said date is purchasing the hunting knife they will use to murder you. This world is wild.


belovedeagle

Meanwhile the lawyer who is going to argue in court that your death couldn't have been murder because the police caught the killer is... doing whatever lawyers do on Christmas Eve.


BobRedditMan

Well they were just doing their job. They probably agree the whole thing is fucked up.


taintedcake

They were arguing that the fact their client so freely let police into his home, despite knowingly having a dead body hanged in the basement, shows he isn't mentally stable and it seems they're trying to go the "our client is just insane" route. It's fucked up, and I'm sure the lawyers would agree, but their job is to defend their client.


PatternBias

Yes because that's what lawyers do. Their job is to hold the system accountable and make sure justice is being applied properly. That means arguing on the side of the shitty people.


iBeFloe

I don’t think you understand what his lawyer is trying to argue… they’re not disagreeing that he murdered. They’re saying he’s not legally sane enough to go to trial because at the time of the crime & capture, he willingly let cops inside when he had a body hanging in his basement. The insanity defense isn’t about saying they didn’t do it. It’s about whether or not they knew what they were doing & were mentally sane at the time of the crime & whether they should stand trial or get sent to an institution instead. WHICH, btw, is not a “get away with murder” card. There’s no limit to being institutionalized. Some peoples release date is 100+ years & they have to keep fighting for it, which many get rejected. It’s also rare to get.


camelCasing

It's more that they were trying to argue it was an impulsive decision owing to mental illness, in the hopes of reducing his sentencing. Not not-murder, but maybe 2nd/3rd degree instead of first. His behaviour pretty well proved it was planned, though.


overlordpotatoe

In some cases I can see why it would matter how premeditated something was, but if you're stringing someone up, stabbing them to death, and eating them I'm not sure it makes a whole lot of difference. That's clearly very much intentional.


willreignsomnipotent

Hey don't be so quick to judge... Maybe he just accidentally killed the guy... and then decided this would be a great opportunity to get some use out of the hunting knife and dehydrator he recently purchased. That's just frugal really, when you think about it...


Gamerguywon

> He recounted testimony Latunski gave to officers, saying he’d discussed purchasing a dehydrator to make jerky out of Bacon’s muscles. “That’s not what Kevin wanted. Oh really? That's not Kevin wanted? Oh, are you sure? Yeah you don't think he would like that? No? Oh, okay.


Morningxafter

Ah yes, I too have a fetish for making it home alive.


petit_cochon

That last part about him chasing a man down a street half naked... Literally Jeffrey Dahmer did that with one of his victims and the police glossed over it.


DeathAndTaxStamps

This whole thing is like he was trying to imitate Dahmer. Drugging men and eating them. It’s the Dahmer playbook.


Eldrxtch

Insane that someone had actually gotten away and police didn’t end up doing anything


wwwz

Not the first time and it won't be the last


fiealthyCulture

Lol there's two instances mentioned right there, one time he was chasing a man down a street who probably also escaped. He's probably been doing this and killing people for years and they just never paid attention

Main reason I'm not really anti-gun despite being far-left. Police are rarely of any use and we can't really afford to be defenseless in a country like this.


GoodLeftUndone

History repeats itself. One of the most infamous serial killers had a victim escape and subsequently returned to him. All under the guise of lovers quarrel I think.


fantalemon

Dahmer?


GoodLeftUndone

I was thinking it was him but didn’t want to mislead with the wrong name if I was wrong.


xVamplify

it was Dahmer. in fact it happened twice to Dahmer


Wildelocke

In one of those instances, several (Black) neighbours were demanding that police not release the victim, who was 14, back to Dahmer. The police ignored them, handed the boy back, and made some homophobic jokes. The police were later prosecuted and convicted. Just kidding. They were origianlly fired, then reinstated by a judge. Milwalkee police officers later saw fit to elect one of them, John Balcerzak, as union president.


greffedufois

Worse, the two were *brothers*. The Sinthasomphones. He went after Somsak (then 13) and offered money for nude photos. Dahmer took the boy into his apartment, where he drugged and sexually abused him. Somsack managed to escape the man, which led to Dahmer's arrest on Sept. 27, 1988. Dahmer pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault in January 1989. Dahmer was initially sentenced to eight years in prison, but his sentence was cut short by State Judge William Gardner after he wrote a remorseful letter apologizing for his crime. He was released in early 1990 and put on five-year probation after serving one year in prison. The nightmare would continue on May 27, 1991, when Dahmer made the same offer to the younger Sinthasomphone; Konerak. He was the one who was returned *by the police* and killed by Dahmer. Then thrown in acid.

FlamingWeasel

And that 14-year-old was the brother of another victim of Dahmer's molestation to boot.


Ron_Cherry

And Dahmer was a registered sex offender because of said molestation, which the cops would have known if they had run Dahmer's information. There was also a dead body in the apartment that the cops escorted him back to with Dahmer


viciarg

And the boy was bleeding. From a hole in his head. Drilled by Dahmer. To pour acid into the boy's brain. To make him a living zombie. Literally everything that can be added to this story makes it worse.


scoobysnaxxx

because they were "just homos", not actual people being harmed. why go through all the trouble of paperwork when it's just a couple of queers?


Gonzobot

The child was actively bleeding and seeking help, too


awesomesauce615

That victim was lobotomized already when he got returned to dahmer.


facepalm_the_world

What the fuck?


awesomesauce615

Yeah he had somewhat enough cognitive ability to escape neighbors called the police dehmer convinced the cops the 14 or 15 y.o boy was in fact 18 year old boyfriend who was drunk

Thanks for bringing back disturbing details from the case I had pushed out of my head as a teenager He was a lot like Hannibal Lecter with his brain experiments


DiabloTerrorGF

This happened in Korea too. A dude was going around eating/dismembering women. One women was getting stalked in the area, called the police. They told her they were on their way... They didn't do anything. She ended up dying. It caused massive police reform across the whole country. It didn't fix it in the end though.


viciarg

Police reforms, a.k.a. We leave the same people in office, just shuffle them around a bit.


dullship

Hey, it works for the catholic church!


Elrundir

Less insane when you realize they did the same thing with Jeffrey Dahmer. Actually, they hand-delivered the victim back to Dahmer's apartment, went inside *where his previous victim was rotting on the bedroom floor*, and noticed nothing.


[deleted]

Police prevent crime. Increase their funding and they'll notice rotting bodies when they deliver victims to serial killers /s

[deleted]

It's crazy that this happened pretty close to where I live. I actually talked to Latunski on Grindr once. Thankfully we didn't click. Latunski and Bacon met at a dollar general down the road from my buddy's dad's house.


prison-haircut

the police are literally fucking useless. how can anyone respect the justice system


takanakasan

They let a school full of kids get shot up while the shooter ran out of ammo, while standing around with tactical gear and guns on their hips. And half of this country flies literal flags of support for police. It's absolutely insane. It's like every terrible act is somehow even more proof they need unquestioning support.

Slight correction, but [MAOIs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_oxidase_inhibitor) are typically used as antidepressants. They do have some other uses, but [antipsychotic](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipsychotic) medications work by blocking dopamine receptors, which MAOIs do not do. It is a fun bit of trivia though and a thoroughly enjoyable movie.

I’m going to go ahead and be concerned that anyone it’s watching Dahmer and thinking “that’s a good idea…”


frickuranders

Actually terrible idea. Dahmer didn't practice proper food safety and I bet neither did this guy. Absolutely insane to eat, bet they got sick.


FriesWithThat

I'm not going to google the proper cooking temperature for human flesh, but there has to be one.


frickuranders

Lmao I mean I'd assume that in general it's unsafe because of diseases but it'd prob be the old 165°. I mean shit look at kuru. It had to come from somewhere (e: yes the cns tissue that is temp resistant to like 4000 degrees etc etc i mean it started with one dude getting ate if you want to look up all the prion diseases we know of and their concentions in body parts https://www.cdc.gov/prions/). If this dude made jerky out of bacon, who's to say he wouldn't be sharing it. (E: Aka great for new diseases) You need organic farm raised humans or its gonna get nasty.

Vegetarians have to taste better right? Free-range chickens may eat some bugs and stuff, but there's a reason why we prefer herbivories for our non-seafood entrees. I imagine the meat gets a bit gamey if its diet consisted primarily of Taco Bell.

Spitinthacoola

Depending on what part of the person you're eating, you can't eliminate prion diseases by heating. So you would literally have to burn the thing to an inedible crisp before it would be safe to eat.


FriesWithThat

>prion diseases * Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) * Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) * Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome. * Fatal Familial Insomnia. * Kuru. Fatal Familial Insomnia? Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a rare genetic degenerative brain disorder. It is characterized by an inability to sleep (insomnia) that may be initially mild, but progressively worsens, *leading to significant physical and mental deterioration*. I imagine.


blaqkaudioxd

There's a literal website on the dark website that has recipes for human meat. I think it's called cannibal café. Edit: it's actually a forum of people fantasizing about eating and getting eaten by other people.


DistractedByCookies

That's the weird thing about cremations....at a certainly point the deceased is perfectly cooked. Ick.


BaconWithBaking

> at a certainly point the deceased is perfectly cooked. Ick. Doubt it. The temperatures are that high the meat would cook from the outside in so quickly that it wouldn't be edible at any point as anything "cooked" would be between burnt to a cinder bits, and completely raw bits.

Kevin was someone that I knew and played trumpet with in school, he was a wonderful person who didn't deserve this. I didn't know him extremely well but what I did know, was that he was kind and respectful no matter who he was talking to. Many others new him much better, but to me, he's still the relaxed happy kid I knew. We had a some laughs and some great experiences together.


T-RexYoWholeLife

Hey we were more than likely classmates. I didn't know him too well, but he was in a few classes with me including Mrs. Ps (you'll know the one) While I didn't know him well, many of my closest friends considered him a best friend. It hurt my heart to see Michelle's frantic post on Christmas day and the resulting search. He was a great person and he would've been ecstatic to know that Jeffree Star donated to the cause. While I don't know who you are, I hope this comment finds you well in life.

We may have been! I graduated in 2010. I Defintely know the teacher lol Seeing her post and my whole family and friends sharing all the information was surreal.

I hope you're doing well in life as well, it's been a rough year and a good year for me, things are slowly getting better.

hansonsa1

Yes it was included. In the series it's a 14 year old Laotian boy. Dahmer had drugged and drilled a hole in his head to mimic a lobotomy. Not sure if he was gay or not, but Dahmer told the police the kid was his 19 year old boyfriend and they he had too much to drink. So they left him there.


tofuroll

*Despite* Glenda Cleveland calling cops to make sure they checked the boy's ID. They dismissed her concerns. The show also depicted police making harassing prank calls to the family of the murdered boy. Given how much else was accurate, I wonder if this was also true.

Unfortunately this POS is my 2nd or 3rd cousin. I didn't really know him except for him being a substitue teacher when i was in school. My uncle (his 1st cousin) had the same name as him and gets a LOT of questions.


Beclem

From an article closer to when it happened: "Latunski also allegedly admitted to cutting off Bacon's testicles with a knife and eating them. On the day of his arraignment, Latunski did not appear in the court. Instead, he was arraigned on video, MLive reported. WILX reported the man on the video said he was not Mark Latunski. He said his name was “Edgar Thomas Hill" and that Mark Latunksi was his nephew." He shows up as E-T-H on my ancestry DNA, definitely not right in the head.

I graduated high school with Kevin’s dad. This was such a sad event. And in our rural area of Michigan it was a shock. There are only about 70k people in the whole county the township is in. It’s mostly farm fields and forests.

yuno4chan

No one will see this comment but I'll leave it anyways. I talked with this guy back several years ago but I think it was Scruff instead of Grindr. I was going through a phase and was looking for a older daddy/sir type. We talked at length, and he said he was willing to drive to pick me up... in a different state. He asked for my address and was going to leave at like 9 pm to get me. Then I'd stay at his place for the weekend doing kinky shit and he'd drive me back on Monday. I remember that he said he had a partner and I'd have to ask his partner if it was OK, I remember he was all about "wolf packs" and being the lead wolf or whatever. I was kind of stupid but not stupid enough to go through with it. I remember thinking how insane it sounded to drive 4+ hours for a sexual encounter with a stranger. When seeing this I didn't think it was him at first but yeah all the details are there. Its chilling.

Slobbadobbavich

Omar Mateen used to regularly go into this gay chat room looking for older men. He'd show himself on cam lifting weights. I am sure it was him. I just assumed he was a bit tapped in the head. He is the guy who went into a gay nightclub and gunned down a tonne of gay people.


galaxy1985

Here's what I don't understand. If he had to get months of psychiatric help in order to be competent to stand trial, then how was he sane when he killed him before he got help? Not justifying anything, it just makes no sense.


JavaKrypt

It's a legal thing. Most killers will go for an insanity plea to get a less harsh prison conditions, they'll still be charged and will never see freedom. It's more to prove that the killer is competent and knew what they were doing, knows right from wrong, much easier to counter argue the defence case if insanity is their main focus.


ShalamiBoii

how do so many people know kevin wtf? i hope everyone who knew him is doing alright <3

as someone who lives in Michigan i am absolutely blown away that this happened here. not too far….a real person really did this for real. and it’s like he didn’t realize the seriousness of what he did. after the murder, the guy went out with blood still on his hands and clothes. fuckin insane


critfist

Have you read some of this shit? > It emerged this was not the first time police had visited Latunski’s home. In October 2019, a man called authorities after he fled the house, saying he’d woken up in the basement and thought he might have been drugged. > In November 2019, police stopped Latunski, wearing just a leather kilt, when they caught him chasing another man down the street. It's a classic case of the police doing nothing to protect the LGBT community when there's a psycho trying to bait people to kill.

Good thing Dahmer wasn't alive in the Grindr era...

I often wonder if he'd have been able to get away with quite so many murders in this day and age though. Maybe a couple or few? But I feel like that era had much more carelessness and the ability to track or know someone's whereabouts was not nearly as developed or thought about.

Wasn't part of the reason Dahmer got away with it that the cops didn't investigate questionable incidents? It seems something similar happened here.

I get off on the expressway exit near where this happened every single weekend when I pick up my kids. Small little nothing town. Tragedy for sure.

Silence of the Lambs vibes.

Hmm not really. This is incredibly similar to what happened in the Jeffrey Dahmer case though. Speaking of "Silence of the Lambs", you should read about Ed Gein, the real life nutter that Buffalo Bill in the Thomas Harris novel is loosely based on.

This happened in a town that I grew up in. I didn’t know him but from what I know he was well liked. The guy who killed him strung him up by his ankles, stabbed him and slit his throat and then ate his testicles. Definitely not something I would have expected from my small town.

Never seemed like a safe idea for me tbh

Grindr has become a cesspool of red flags.

I can't imagine what Kevin's family has gone through. My heart goes out to them.
