Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! Just an FYI, if you ever get a reply claiming to be from me saying you won some kind of competition and to dm on telegram, it's a scam! I have never run a competition and I am not on telegram. If I ever do you'll hear it directly from me. I've been trying to block the bots but they keep popping up, and it seems like it's a problem all over RUclips.
It’s actually turned hilarious, as when he started asking for money I said my so. Had to help me find it. So I’m just waiting for my son and they’re really loving me talking about Friends and all the characters, and how Pheobe was having her brother’s baby etc. He’s started getting really pissed and keeps on asking for money. That chapter, I feel a New Chapter of telling him about my menopause and my arthritis, and my incontinence pads. I’ve not finished with him yet.I think I’ll tell him I get erotically charged by Donald Trump. I love this shit 🤣🤣🤣 I think I’ll throw in some piles for good measure, or I like to call see m, Beelzebub’s Berries.
The fact that they were chained up in his basement but were able to escape pretty easily with their phones leads me to believe he liked the thought of them escaping and chasing after them or something.
I've seen this in another case. The impression I get is that if the person went there willingly and after the assault told police they weren't pressing charges, technically the police don't have to do anything. If I were a cop, I'd personally have cops going on Grinder undercover to see what this guy was really doing...
Better they molest each other than our children. I’d prefer the cops do nothing. I pay their salaries with my tax money and they shouldn’t waste their time protecting child molesters.
Mike lad, you had me at “Rocky Mountain Oysters.” You have a special talent for presenting these stories in such a way that never disrespect the victims while saying what we all feel about the beastly monsters that committed these crimes. To be sure you are a credit to your family. Blessings to you, young man.
My dad also has paranoid schizophrenia and claimed once that he was his landlord and that my dad (himself) was dead. Schizophrenia is a hell of a disorder.
my dad used to do a classic, “the cia is out to get me so i have to save my daughter” move and would kidnap me out of my crib at my mom’s- seriously, people, take your meds
Cops have the ability to follow through with an investigation and press charges regardless of the victim's willingness to press charges. This was just an easy excuse for them to not do police work when a drugging, kidnapping, and imprisonment sorta seems like it would warrant at least a look and a few questions. Clearly, the police didn't give a crap, and even if charges were pressed, they wouldn't follow through most likely.. saying this was just "some queers having fun". They believed the killer when he pretty much told them that. This happens far too often. The police are to blame, not the victims.
@@higler. You are correct, in certain situations an officer can investigate and and press charges without victim cooperation. But I guarantee you there is no prosecutor that will follow through with those charges without victim cooperation. If there is no witness to testify there is no trial. So it may seem on the surface that the police didn't "give a crap" but more likely encountered someone who didn't want to be helped.
@@lindam.6210 that's ridiculous to say. People are put away for life with less evidence... completely circumstantial evidence actually. No victim, no cooperation of witnesses.
man, those pictures of kevin make me so sad. he seemed like the kind of guy who was everyone’s friend. i live in chicago and i’m sure he would’ve thrived here. rest in peace, kevin.
Kevin is missed dearly. This tragedy has left our entire community shocked. Seems like it was just yesterday that this happened. Rest peacefully Kevin ❤
I'm from Michigan and this devastated the whole state. No one ever had one bad thing to say about Kevin. Everyone loved him. It was very gracious of Jeffree Star to pay for his funeral. 💚
@@amazonmandy Bloodwyrm didn't say anything about his own views, just pointed out that Erika most definitely does not represent the entire state of Michigan. "devastated the whole state" lol, There's nothing special about Michigan to make that true.
This is heartbreaking. I realized when you showed his picture I'd interacted with Kevin on social media in the past. Nothing deep, but enough for his face to stay with me. The brutality and senselessness of his murder...I can't shake this sense of haunting sadness.
@@RanLaw_ no. Why do you feel the need to shit on a stranger’s memory of a person gone? Does it make you feel better about whatever it is that is lacking in your life?
Probably the scummiest defense argument ever conceived. “See, he took antidepressants! Therefore, he wanted a strange weirdo to butcher him in a basement!”
The creepiest part of that case was the fact they grilled his penis and had to throw it out because it was inedible. Just imagine that. It’s like that horrible feeling you get when wasting food but x1000 because it’s your dick.
These days if you go out, no matter where it is, give someone you know a heads-up on where you're going especially if you've never met the person/or people! Thanks Mike! Feel better!
@@audreymuzingo933 in Toronto that guy Bruce .. his victim had Bruce written on the calendar and that connected him to another investigation ... He was caught based on that!
@@bgp.8327 I wasn't trying to start a debate, just stating a fact about how many LGBTQ people are at a disadvantage in terms of support networks, and that sadly makes them easier targets for perpetrators. Same goes for sex workers, people addicted to substances, homeless people, etc. Also lots of people get murdered despite having people who knew the details of their upcoming dates. I would assert that a much more effective safety measure would be to give dates the IMPRESSION that you have people who know who you'll be with and where you'll go, etc., even if it's not true.
Thank you so much. Ever since I learned about Kevin I have had the image of him playing trumpet across the room from me in band. He always had a smile on his face. He had a harder life but never showed it. It really really scared and made me so MAD when the media focused on Jeffery star and their publicity instead of linking the go fund me to the families funeral. I think and hurt for him every day. Edit: I graduated with Kevin and I am so proud he put this sick person away
Mike, thank you for covering this case. I am from the same small town as Kevin. While I hate that his family had and continues to go through this awful tragedy, I hope that by making the story more public lives can be saved. The one thing that you missed was that friends/family and police reached out to Grindr over and over from the time he was missing until they found his phone imploring the company to give them access to Kevin’s messages and they refused over and over.
I can understand Grindr not wanting to release information to alleged friends and family for ....reasons. But not the police? Why didn't the police get a warrant? THAT bothers me
@@Lady_Phoenix I think it's pretty obvious that cops generally don't give a damn, until a case reaches public outrage stage and then they start falling over themselves to cover up their failures.
@@Lady_Phoenix yeah, releasing such information to civilians, regardless of their connection to the user, is just respecting basic privacy laws and i would expect nothing less from any of my social media accounts and frankly would delete any one of them if i found out they would just release that information to people just cause they are family. However, there is no excuse for denying that information to police looking into an active missing persons case where the user is the missing person, in my opinion that's just straight criminal.
I remember when this happened. I never knew kevin or really crossed paths, but i was a student at UM-Flint at the same time he was and a close friend of mine even sat next to him in a psychology class and had a few school related conversations. By all accounts seemed like a lovely man and of course did not deserve the horror he went through in his last moments. Love and thoughts to his family.
So sad this wasn’t stopped before Kevin’s life was taken. I could understand the police being confused the first time but after a second man escaped with the EXACT SAME STORY ???!!!!!!! Great work Mike , I hope you feel better soon ♥️ because I love ya ♥️
@@JeevesPeabodyPOGO Yeah, this situation was just like back when a couple cops returned a screaming, crying victim of Dahmer right back to him, laughing in the victim's face. I'm glad Mike brought that up specifically in the video.
@@hwlgrmmr I agree with that or also that case in the UK where those guys reported over and over again to the police that they had been drugged and other things but the police didn't give a flying flimsy and a young man lost his life because of it. I can't remember what the guy's name was or the victims but it was a while back Mike did a video on this and the things that really stick in my brain about it is that he called the police and was like, "There's a drunk guy passed out in front of my apartment building." When really he had drugged the dude the night before and killed him. Also that the murderer wore an obvious blonde wig in his dating app profile pictures to hide his baldness. No shame in being bald, just the obviousness of the wig stuck out to me. I'm also pretty sure that the victim that got him caught was not his only victim but don't quote me on that.
@@JeevesPeabodyPOGO They treat prostitutes that way as well, they seem to forget that their job is to protect people and not let their personal feelings take over.
I'm from the area Kevin was from. A lot of my friends were close with him. I've been waiting to see if you'd ever do this case. With the news we got last week about his sentencing I knew it was going to start popping up in the community. I'm just torn if I can watch it yet being so close to home. I'm sure you did the story well, Mike. 🖤
I remember seeing Kevin’s photos on the internet when he went missing. His brightness and big happy smile broke my heart then, they still break my heart. I can’t imagine the pain his loved ones have been feeling 😔
Mike, you are so good at these stories. You have a special way of making them easier to hear by adding comedy that NEVER insults or diminishes what the victims went through. You are one in a gazillion kind sir! Be well, be safe and thank you for your hard work!
How so ? I love Mike but he absolutely says things in bad taste from time to time such as *He didn't let a thing go to waste ie: Kevins boday parts aka eating a human being. Now imagine watching this as a family member or friend hearing Mike say that.. I'm going out on a limb here but I'm gonna say you've never had the horror of having a murder in the family, I pray you never do.
That’s exactly what sets him apart from the hundreds of other channels covering these stories, and he *never* has used humor at the expense of a victim... yet I still sometimes see hateful commenters acting angry that he inserts humor at all 🙄 there were a lot more of them when I started watching 4 years ago & just a handful of people trying hard to be offended now, so I suppose that’s good progress
@@michaelmyers7425 So you're assuming anyone that laughs at that has never known someone to be murdered? Big assumption there. No one is forced to watch. You take the risk esp when you KNOWINGLY click on a true crime video that contains the person you know.... *The more offended you get over things doesn't equate to you being a better person!*
From someone who’s lost family too young and worked in the medical field for decades, I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate our boy’s genuine empathy to telling these tragic events. You can’t survive working in a hospital without an appreciation for the dark humor of life’s brutality.
I was surprised. Often you hear 911 calls later, that they thought it was just a joke or prank, & the person doesn't get help. I wish the cops would've investigated the original calls deeper, there's a reason if to grown men, run out of a house, pleading for help- even if they're homosexual. They like hardcore sex games, so by the time a man thinks it's crossing the line, it's way, way past normal play.
@@mariatorres9789 Yes Maria, i remember taking the barking dog calls seriously and if they came thru the emergency line you take the info ( basically take the call and start typing) then educate the caller giving them the non- emergency number. Job done, next …… no where In the job description does it state, argue with the caller, judge the caller, make the caller repeat their info, nor use a condescending tone of voice.
I remember the day it was announced he was missing, and when they found him. His family, friends, and the local LGBT community were all so heartbroken. Even the actor Kevin Bacon learned of the case and sent his condolences.
Friendly reminder that the police can do virtually nothing in cases like these if the victim does not want to press charges. Rodney Alcala was also able to escape significant jail time because his surviving victim's family moved to Mexico with her, leaving no one to testify against him.
Not only that, they fear being labeled 'homophobic' which could mean disciplinary action - so, if it appears consensual, cops will tend to look the other way. (That's what happened in the Dahmer case).
Yes, exactly. When I heard that phone call from one of the victims, & he plainly stated he didn't want the matter pursued & he just wanted to go home, I knew that was exactly what was going to transpire. Unfortunately most cities or counties are overwhelmed & understaffed, & if someone requests they don't want to pursue a matter....more times than not, that is exactly what is going to occur. Like it or not, victims, even though they are severely traumatized, do have a responsibility to prosecute their perpetrator(s). If they do not, then what happened to them will most definitely occur again to yet another innocent person. Sad but true.
@@franceshaypenny8481 sorry, but nothing about the Dahmer case "appeared consensual." Police returned an underage boy who was drugged, naked, and bleeding to Dahmer's apartment. Bystanders could tell it wasn't consensual, so why couldn't trained police officers? Because they didn't care
May not be a popular opinion but I definitely don't blame the police on this one. Those guys both told the police to drop it. You ask me, the cowardice of those two men is what cost Mr. Bacon his life. I understand that they where scared of being outed but at the end of the day, they put their personal fears ahead of stopping a deranged psychopath. They already survived the day. All they had to do to is tell the truth. They failed. I hope they know what happened and I hope it eats away at them.
@@ColonelSandersLite Yup. That's likely the right scenario - not because 'police are bigots' - that's idiotic. Imagine blaming police because your Grinder hook up went bad. No one takes responsibility for themselves these days.
I can’t imagine being this poor guys family and friends and having to hear all of these horrible details about the way he was murdered. I’m not sure I could handle knowing something like that happened to a loved one. At least they were spared having to go through a trial.
Unfortunately the local news published all the grizzly details as they came out. Thankfully for his family, friends and our community there will be no trial, Kevin’s murderer pleaded guilty and will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Mike, your storytelling is absolutely amazing. I am currently having a migraine attack, so im limiting screentime and just laying in the dark feeling sorry for myself. But having your videos on and just listening to you talking is a wonderful distraction. Thank you!
Celina Colin, I hope you get well soon hey 🤗 I've been following That Chapter for a few years now and his way of telling a gruesome story is second to none 🤗 I'm in recovery for a broken hip and wrist 🙄 so Tuesday and Friday are the highlights of the week 😁
Celina, Feel better. I've been a migraine sufferer since I was 11 years old! Oh, and don't you love it when people say (So, you have a headache! 😳) 🤯🕊️
This has got to be one of the most depraved cases you have ever shown. Latunsky is so off his rocker that he can't find the chair. Thanks for this one, Mike! Feel better quuick! We need you here!
I've never heard that analogy before but I'm determined to use it soon. Even though I got the seriousness in the statement, with my dark sense of humor, I couldn't help but have an inner chuckle when I read it. But I agree with you wholeheartedly! He's beyond words in how truly sick he is. R.I.P. to all his victims, because I don't think it's just one.
Only an Irish person could re-tell such morbid stories the way you do and not manage to offend or lessen the seriousness of the situation. It's the Irish lilt! Love the channel. Greeting from County Kildare 👏😁
This dude is literally the most offensive person to narrate murder. Ya'll just hide with constant stream of blind support and "love". Apparently easily won over by blatantly superficial charm
@@lopiklop for real. A young man is sexually violated and murdered in one of the most horrific ways possible as a result of him being a member of a minority community. RUclipsr here bouncing it around like a cheap horror movie review, but hey, it's ok because he has a cute accent. It never fails to shock me how shallow people are.
I would see Kevin on the apps and we had mutual friends at college. Never met him myself though. His murder REALLY hit close to home and a lot of my friends were deeply affected by it. I'm glad you finally covered Kevin's story!
@@alrightyru it's not that Kevin had this fanatsy going on 4 quiet a while till he found a scizoid 2 to do it Mark is not a cold blooded killer ask yourself why didn't Mark wack the other 2 leather men it's just bandage gone 2 rough tough XXXTREME that made these 2 go mad crazy calling the coppers they were even 2oo ashamed to court their Scizoid Master of Scottish Royalty the Extraordinary Edgar Thomas Hill....yeah like omfg 💀 Mark is pretty much mentally ill and so is Kevin each had Dark ULTIMATE Fantasies these 2 Grinders did Grind 2 give the public such a Horror Shaw like it's simple inmho it should be Assited Suicide involving two mentally ill bug men
@@johnsoens5185 Why of all people are you obsessed with Mike? He is always respectful and makes it well known his position on each case. He always says something for the victims. And he makes light of situations in a respectful way. What's up with you? Lol. Out of anyone to target, why him? I'm genuinely curious.
@Jake E what do you mean by runs the world? You mean control? Are you controlled by these groups? How is a person born with free will controlled? It's a trick question but one I'd think about. I am controlled by my desires, and influenced by my soul.. but outside of that...these groups your eluding to operate successfully because we allow them too. They affect our lives because we choose to let them. They exert their will through a way of life they sell us and we buy. To opt out of that delusion is completely doable. Many don't subscribe to their manipulation. This evil guy was motivated by a sick broken mind that didn't even serve himself. Luring people in to satisfy an urge he overtime adopted. That to me is way scarier than some group planning for world domination, through our own desires and weaknesses. Sensless torture and killing, with no motivation. Or reason. And if you believe they are who they are then you know there are those who oppose them and always will, and what happens to both sides.
@@lovelyscorp79 His reply was in reference to your extremely naive comment about you never knowing there was such evil in the world. If you read his comment in context then your entire nonsense comment is unnecessary.
I'm doing a marathon right now I'm on my sixth episode of your Channel. Damn good you are really really good at what you do. I love the way you say the word three, cracks me up every time
It isn't likely without the men being willing to write statements about escaped from this horror chamber that something could have been done and potentially preventing Kevin from meeting up with this very sick disturbed man. I cannot begin to understand or fathom what Kevin went through. May he rest in peace and his loved ones have some sense of justice with Mark behind bars. Mike, I hope you are feeling better soon.
Agreed. Those two incidents were unfortunately, from a legal perspective, domestic disputes that couldn't be pursued unless the victims were willing to give statements. Same reason a lot of date rapists and domestic abusers can't easily be prosecuted if the victims don't want to push for it. It's less homophobia and more that law enforcements' hands were just tied there.
Yeah, but, don’t the police have to separate the two(or however many) people, take their stories & then make sure one of the parties leave the premises???? I find it hard to believe we haven’t progressed any further than the Dahlmer spree. That happened in the 80’s & it’s deja vu, all over again, over 30 years later!!! Smh!
Is there no way to enforce the medication of people who are this disturbed? If someone is this off kilter, shouldn’t liberty depend on medical intervention? Might have saved this poor guys life, and stopped the guy in the previous episode from killing all those innocent people at the Waffle House.
@@lainyfromrainypnw both of the men were not at his house when the police where called and the police can not force then to make statements or press charges. The only thing the police can do is write up what happened and that the person refused to report a "crime" was committed against them. It is a very unfortunate situation.
No matter if we've heard these cases somewhere else first, Mike's style is why we always keep coming back every Tuesdays and Fridays. Thanks Mike and get well soon.🖤
Mike is a trooper for filming an entire video while sick. Mike is for the people! Thank you Mike!!! Appreciate your dedication Mr. Oh. Always funny, thorough, and respectful content :)
Haha he made a video while he had a tickle in his throat? Yes let's praise him! You a fvcking schmuck. I love Mike but we've all had much harder shifts then this guy raking in money. Calm your fake tits.
When he said he was trying to speed up his death because he was already unconscious I felt my stomach turn. I would have thought hearing that would make me feel relieved for Kevin but instead his helplessness in not being able to defend himself made me feel sick.
@@johnsoens5185 Nah. What happens with all sane people, meaning non-psychopaths is that they can get a deep conscious and sub-conscious sense of relief from watching videos like this of murderers being captured and sentenced. We see and hear about murders in the news all the time in our society. This can create apprehension to differing degrees, depending on the person. Watching cop shows like Law and Order can subconsciously help people to a degree but watching real murderers being taken off the streets and sent to jail for life helps to a greater degree.
@@MrStringybark Very well-said and sound from a psychological standpoint. Part of this fascination involves knowing the ending - cf. Gestalt; this is also why unsolved mysteries have such a large audience. It is human nature to want to know more, to want an ending and therefore a sense of justice, to want to understand these creatures partly to feel they can be avoided, partly to reassure yourself that no matter how messed-up you are, you'll never be the lowest of the low. Your comment was far more thoughtful than that supercilious, holier-than-thou, virtue-signalling perennial commentator deserved.
I actually remember this for a different reason. Latunski moved in some similar online circles as I did for a long time. Granted, I wasn't his type so I never communicated with him. Lacked the bits for it. But he was well known as a dangerous fellow by all of us. He started using Grindr due to the forum labeling him as dangerous and asking him to remove himself after someone barely escaped his house with burns on the back of their neck and needed stitches. He traumatized his subs, and we all saw what was coming. There was a petition signed and forwarded to law enforcement but since it was just "sex stuff" it was never taken seriously. Even BDSM has its limits. This guy didn't have any.
It's horrible that the info provided to LE wasn't taken seriously. I'm a retired cam girl that specialized in certain kinks and I've had to report people who outright admitted to committing crimes (one being SA of a child) and others who seriously posed a danger to others (talked about unaliving and SA) and I can only hope those reports were taken seriously and the people were tracked down.
@@chukwumachigbo6716 Victim blaming ahhh they don’t deserve pain. What they do is consensual with safe words, it’s not the community that’s dangerous it’s the psychopaths that use it.
@@chukwumachigbo6716 ummmm just to point out the obvious....... straight people also love their BDSM and also straight people can go over the top in their sadism. You are supposed to agree to a "safe word" and if the person says it, YOU STOP, that's the end. So if someone sets up a petition, law enforcement damn well need to do something about it. That is not CONSENT. 👍
Feel better, Mike! Even if it'd been a crappy vid--it was not--you deserve the rest you need to keep up the consistently amazing work. Love you! Thanks for everything you do!
My daughter went to school with Kevin. When news of his vicious murder broke it devastated the entire community. It was so sad to learn what had happened. His murderer hung around in Swartz Creek at least a few times. In fact, my cousin had a photo of him on her phone because he was at the grocery store in that leather kilt and she thought it was a little weird. Needless to say she was super freaked out after she saw his picture on the news.
I went to high school with him too, but I was a senior when he was a freshman. I put off my prereqs of health and gym until senior year, I don't remember if he was in my classes. I was in chorale with his sister, though.
Not to make light of this horrific crime and overall monster, but yea I can see how a man in a leather kilt browsing the vegetable department at your local grocery store would be *at the very least* a weird sight lol 🤣🥴😵💫🤷🏻♀️ I can’t believe it took someone losing their life so tragically for someone in law enforcement to really pay attention- so sad. 🥺💔
I'd imagine both of them didn't want the public embarrassment. That would have most certainly made some media waves, concerning a popular app and all. I hope they never hear about this case- that's a new level of survivor's guilt right there.
Michigander here, this story is disturbing. It was awful to hear about as the news was covering it, the new developments, etc. One of the things you worry about, with it being cold, is that someone is out in it. This is one of the times it turned out to be way worse.
“And I don’t want to pursue it, I want to go home” I hate that this is a common occurrence amongst people who go through these traumatizing situations. I just hope they’re able to move on and be okay. I want some of them to nut up and point these pure shid piles out.
It must be an awful decision to make... knowing you deserve justice and the dangerous person needs to be looked into / locked up, but also knowing that 1. it will just drag out the entire ordeal and feel like ongoing trauma, 2. you could potentially face retaliation if the perpetrator gets let off and now has all your details from the investigation, 3. investigation processes don't protect victims during and afterwards... I don't blame them for wanting to escape and be done with it ASAP.
this is why its sad tracy edwards had such a hard life with little support...he took down jeffrey dahmer...saved lives..i brought this up recently that many victims just run and they don't report it
Same. I am sure it’s terrifying, so terrifying and the scariest thing that could ever happen to someone, and very hard but how will you live with yourself if you could have had someone prosecuted but they were left free and then killed someone. My thing would be, what if they’re given a slap on the wrist and now they’ll have a grudge against me for getting them in trouble, they know my full name and will have my address (they’re legally allowed to face their accuser, and a photo of your identification would be in the legal discovery from the prosecution). My family, myself, my friends, id never really feel safe. But then again knowing they’re out there free at all I wouldn’t feel safe. I just stay away from strangers as much as possible and definitely wouldn’t go to a strangers house. Now that I’m older. However in my stupid younger days, I definitely went to random peoples places I met at bars or thru other friends to hang out. Stupid kid.
As a survivor, unfortunately, I totally understand the person escaping not wanting to go thru the compounded trauma of trying to press charges when assaulted. I kept a plastic bag holding a sanitary object that was removed as part of a violent assault for weeks because more than anything I wanted to go report and attempt to receive justice, but being aware that I wasn't a perfect victim, I eventually accepted just being grateful for surviving, and I often pray that I never come across a case bearing my attacker's face and a date after my assault because so often victims are not believed & you revictimize yourself with no results other than further damage to yourself because of how assault victims are handled and treated in the good old USA. I would hate to know someone else was hurt but I also doubt my report would have done a damn thing - that would have, more likely than not, required my corpse, not my testimony.
Take care of yourself Mike, Cause we love ya. Thanks for the amazing content. The time and energy put into every video doesn't go unnoticed. You're the man,man, keep up the great work. Thanks for doing this case, truly sad how these monsters get away with so much for so long. No wonder why they get worse and worse in their actions. They are boldened by not having consequences.
I use to drive past mark latunskys house everyday on my way home from work it stuck out because of the architecture of the house. So crazy to think something that close to home can happen. Thanks for the video mike.
This one makes me so sad. He seemed like such a sweetheart. And I might have yelled obscenities at my computer when the defense was trying to imply that being on antidepressants means he obviously wanted to die. On the contrary, it means you're actively trying not to.
That’s so infuriating to hear being depressed myself. The defence attorney disgusts me. So many people are on antidepressants because our brains, much like our organs don’t function the way they should, and medications help.
It also implies that mentally ill people have no choice to get better. Even if Kevin doesn't have medications in his system, the defense will still use the exact same argument anyway.
Uggghhhh that was my reaction too 😡 It’s way easier to die than to drag yourself to the doctor and therapist for a million appointments, spend tons of money at their office and then the pharmacy, literally experimenting with your brain chemistry until we find something that works _well enough_ … Sounds like Kevin was trying to live his dreams and work through stuff (like most young adults) - may he Rest In Peace
So strange seeing these videos about Kevin now... I love true crime stories, always hoping the victim gets away or justice at the very least. What he went through is horrific, unimaginable that someone could do such things. This is too close to home. I live in Flint. He was friends with my cousin in Swartz Creek. I hope you've found a new beginning, Kevin. May you rest in piss, Mark.
I always get secondhand embarrassment when it’s a case from Michigan 🙃. I actually remember hearing about this case because the victims name was so distinctive it was hard not to pay attention to the headlines. RIP Kevin
I have a friend that thinks Mike may have a prejudice against Fla. too...I told her she's imagining it... (second-hand embarrassment)* bloody great term...Ha Ha Ha
Thank you for covering this Mike!! I’m from the area this happened and actually have friends who were very close with Kevin and this whole situation has been awful.
Live a life of debauchery and this is what you get. Its called "consequences" of trying to get rammed in your dumper by a stranger whos part of a group of people equally or more messed up than you are.
The difference in his photos during his marriage and photos after his divorce is extreme. To say he let himself go is an understatement. Awesome upload Mike, get some rest and feel better.
The timing you have for your humor is spot on!!! I was literally saying out loud " Did we learn NOTHING from Jeffery Dahmer???" LOL as always clicked right away when I saw your video post!
This case scared me off of grinder for a while. I used to live 40 miles away from where this case took place and I was actively using grinder at the time looking for people in the BDSM scene. I feel very lucky that I never encountered Mark Latunsky
Omg, I can only imagine.. Please, if you go to hook up, leave the information to someone you trust and tell to call the cops if youre not in touch within x amount of time. I know I probably dont need to even say this, but just in case. I dont wanna hear Mike telling about you in the future, so be smart and be safe. And always trust that gut feeling! There will be other hook ups, but you have just one life :)
Just be aware and definitely let someone know where you are going or take your cell with location on, I know you’d want privacy but it’s too scary out there for everyone! ❤
Heard of this case before but I'm so happy to hear Mike tell us about it and give it a go! Definitely get more information from this Chanel then alot of other crime case channels! Keep it up Mike!!
This one hits close to home. I didn't know Kevin but I went to the same school. Utterly haunting to see such a familiar face on such a morbid news story.
Truly love when Mike gives it a goo!! Just another reason on top of the 11 others why I abhor dating apps and the danger lurking behind a hook-up. Poor Kevin and this story made me tremor.
I so agree with you. There's no way l would ever go on dating sites. I'd find it all too scary - you never know what you could be facing. I suppose some women do find love out there. But l bet there are thousands of women who get involved in a relationship with a man who's abusive, both physically and mentally, controlling, stalking etc., the list goes on. It may work out well for some women and I'm happy for them. But girls & men too be careful & stay safe ❤
@@bambinaforever1402 How is that the same? You could choke on your very first slice of cake- it isn't an issue of moderation it's an issue of poor luck. Moderation should come second- Safety should come first. Anyone rolling those dice need to treat every encounter like they might end up as a That Chapter story.
What a journey in 20 minutes! I appreciate that you present a lot of both obscure and current cases. I live in Michigan and I've never even heard about this. Wild. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, brought back memories of a strange neighbor of ours. Seemed like every weekend in the summer all you ever heard were screams, maybe more like loud moans coming from his house. I’m sure the open windows (not everyone had a/c back then) made them easier hear with the way sound travels. I remember none of the adults seemed to care, but us kids were like “WTF”, sounded like he was killing someone. You know, time goes by and I sometimes wonder whatever happened to him, Mike Litorski. Rumor had it he went Down Under and never came back up.
Idk how you do it but you can take a story and turn it into something that has EVERYONE excited as hell to listen! That’s talent and I hope you never give it up! I love watching your videos-the smart ass humor is fantastic!! Especially when you do the life insurance dance/clip. That will never get old!! Thanks for being a BA!!
I feel guilty sometimes for being excited! Hard to not laugh at Mike's humor too. At least he's always respectful to the victims and their situations; he never victim shames! Have a great weekend! Pass you amile forward! 😊
Mike, I cannot remember if you talked about the Delphi Indiana murders. The two teenagers walking on that bridge. They arrested someone today, the news will give live coverage Monday. Have a good day. Cheers
Absolutely lovely? That wouldn't be my portrayal of a man who went to meet a total stranger for a BDSM encounter; "mentally ill" would perhaps be more accurate.
I grew up in Jackson MI and had a lot of friends who knew Kevin. Everyone was horrified by what happened, it was such a sad waste of a life. Thanks for covering his story.
I wouldn't be surprised if the previous victims didn't refuse to charge him. My daughter refused to show up to court after she brought charges against a guy who was a nut case. She was told by police she had no choice but to follow through, but ultimately the charges were dropped because she failed to show up at the court. He went on to shoot at a cop in his grand parents front lawn and unfortunately survived by a quarter inch when the officer shot him. They even repaired his voice box🤬 I wish she had followed through with the charges, if not for herself, then for potentially another victim.
"...to be frank, though I am Mike." 😂 Love your storytelling Mike & thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. Hope you feel better soon!!
This is a horrific case. It made me sad to think he went for a BDSM encounter, and the thoughts he must of had when he realized it was so much more horrible than that, it was his own murder. Other men made it out, but he didn’t.
@@johnsoens5185 Do you have a hobby? You're here on every other video and comment. Seriously, you don't like it, don't watch. I watch very little true crime, hubby watches some stuff I don't, but I don't judge him for it. It is human to be fascinated by the highs and lows of humanity and there are many human ways to deal with the latter, dark humour being just one. And yes, I have known a murderer, 2 traumatized families of killers, and a victim and their traumatized loved ones. Many of the people who suffer through the repercussions of such crimes have some pretty dark humour - it's not everyone's taste, but there are many reactions to death and tragedy. You don't have any moral authority over that. Why pick on a RUclipsr - one that is relatively benign compared to some that revel in every grisly detail or do cheesy re-enactments, stock photos, sell serial killer merch - when major networks literally make millions on the same crimes from the news to Dr. Phil to movies of the week? Watch true crime in doc form, watch the grisly version, don't watch it at all, whatever. But frankly, your obsession with That Chapter is almost as creepy as some of the people being covered. Don't try to virtue signal when you've shown no evidence of any virtue yourself. You could be Dexter for all anyone knows.
@@booksnuggler2494 seriously this Johnsoen dude is a hipócrite mike should block his ass Why watch if you gonna be nasty just cause in his head Mike is profiting from these murders..
Kevin seems like he was such a sweetheart and genuine light in the lives of the people who knew him. This case was absolutely devastating to watch. I'll light a candle for Kevin. Please rest easy🕊️🕯️🤍
I noticed that during the interrogation footage, Latunski was leaning forward into the conversation as he talked about what he did. The cop was pulled back, withdrawn. The cop looked like he was the one there against his will.
There is so much to love about Mike. I think number one for me is, that he says it like it is. Not afraid to call people out. No pc wooy cover excuse for a job NOT done. Especially when a life is stolen, that could've been saved. My prayers to his family.
I was already so very sad for poor Kevin, and then I saw that he had tattoos of Trixie and Katya... only 25 when he died, young enough to be my son... this sucks the big one.
It hurts when you think most of the victims of killers and "bad people" were, for the most part, good people trying their best in life even with all their personal problems. Life indeed aint fair. RIP Kevin. PD: get well soon, Mike!
Bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people, and everything in between. There is nothing keeping the world fair except our feeble attempts- anyone who thinks life works differently is living in a fantasy land. It sucks, but I honestly think that accepting this helps us deal with bad stuff happening, otherwise we feel like the universe is out to get us everything something bad happens.
Another paradigm is victims often become "saints" because it triggers virtue signaling. A lot of the victims in these stories have their own issues and involvement bias.
I don’t think Mark is guilty TBH. He had a “Hate Has No Home Here” welcome mat, and a “Diversity Is Our Strength” flag in the window. Does that sound like a bad person to you?
The police can’t do anything unless the guys press charges. It’s very frustrating, but a lot of people call the police then don’t want to do anything after they’re saved. That’s one reason why so much violence continues.
My MIL has been in his basement. She is a water inspector, and he was convinced that his ex-wife was poisoning his water. She was in his house alone, with him, but thankfully she did not have her on site testing equipment. More than likely he would’ve been very upset to hear that there was nothing going on and he was actually crazy
Your MIL was perfectly safe. Women clearly aren't the target for him. That's how pedophiles go undetected too. If you aren't in the target demographic you'll probably only ever see "the nice guy" side, or at worst think they're kinda weird or like in this case be able to chalk it up to "unmedicated" or eccentric. Source: coworker was arrested and convicted of having child porn of his own "adopted" kids (he married a woman whose children were young, I'm unsure if they were officially adopted but they were considered his kids) and he was well like by the people he worked with
Holy shit! This whole situation happened in my home county of Shiawassee and it has been the biggest topic anyone talked about for years, literally. We still talk about it where I work. It's really surreal to see you talking about our middle-of-nowhere community.
I live about an hour south of Swartz Creek and I remember when this happened. I grew up in Detroit and I've seen/heard some crazy things, but this is by far the most disturbing crime I've heard of happening in Michigan in my lifetime. Kevin seemed like a truly sweet guy. You can see it in his face. Also, the proper term is "Michigander". I think "Michiganian" sounds cooler, but what can you do? lol
Hi TC. Mike you are one of the best channels on You Tube. Always looking forward to your shows. This story is sooooo gross & unbelievable! How can anyone enjoy being that damn crazy? Thinking something like that doesn't even enter my mind at all! Although I've actually hated people in my life & sometimes wished they were never in it, all that gives you more reason not to have them in your life at all. RIP Kevin. Peace & hope your having a happy & pleasant evening, love, Janine Smiley 🙂😀😎😇🌝🌞🏡✌👍🙏🆒️💯❕❗💋❤👀👣🇺🇸🇬🇧
Love you too Mike! I hope you get feeling better very soon. I've been fighting a head/chest cold for a couple weeks.....but it's slowly getting better.
Michigander. That's what we call ourselves. This story was all over the news and I remember it very clearly. I drove through that area a couple times a month while traveling to visit my dad. I had friends that lived in the area and used grindr. For a little bit there I was so scared there were more crazies out there going to lure my friends in.
Mike, you and your crew, (if u have one) put so much time and effort into your videos and I am soooo grateful for your hard work. And if it's only you, awesome ! I love your channel. Never stop !!
11:50 I was literally typing out that this reminded me of Dahmer when you said it. Yeah it's horrible how many cops will ignore clear warning signs like this when it's happening to anyone who isn't white. We see so many examples of people of color, sex workers, queer people, heck even animals being repeatedly targeted but cops stand by and do nothing. That story of the cops bringing that boy back to Dahmer's place after he'd escaped still brings rage boiling up in my head when I think about it.
I was thinking the same thing about Dahmer. Mike, thank you for talking about how the police bias ended in the death of Kevin. I realize bias is an understatement, but S C did a great job of explaining exactly what is really going on. There is so much hate in the world at this time and so many people with a sense of entitlement and no one calling them out on their behavior. It is really getting scary.
If I was a cop, I would go out of my way to make sure that if a person is exclaiming that they have "escaped a killer " you just treat their claims as true
@@BoxOKittens Maybe you need a brain instead you ignoramus. The cops cannot do anything if a criminal report is not made. Blame the two cowards who were willing to let this guy go without pressing charges instead of the police officers who couldn't do anything about it. I seriously think some of you people have literal brain damage from using the internet too much. Here is a thought for you, go look up how law enforcement actually works.
I've watched quite a few videos on this case and it always gets to me. However, there are several things you mentioned that I didn't know about this case.. I never knew that creep was married! 🤮 Thanks for always giving the victims a voice Mike 🙏💖
Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! Just an FYI, if you ever get a reply claiming to be from me saying you won some kind of competition and to dm on telegram, it's a scam! I have never run a competition and I am not on telegram. If I ever do you'll hear it directly from me. I've been trying to block the bots but they keep popping up, and it seems like it's a problem all over RUclips.
Lmao never even heard of telegram 🥴
It’s actually turned hilarious, as when he started asking for money I said my so. Had to help me find it. So I’m just waiting for my son and they’re really loving me talking about Friends and all the characters, and how Pheobe was having her brother’s baby etc. He’s started getting really pissed and keeps on asking for money.

I've seen it on other channels too. Nw, Mike. Tc 🙂
@@OrangeCopperTop - you’re delightfully evil!
I've seen that scam on other channels to an I always report them,
The fact that they were chained up in his basement but were able to escape pretty easily with their phones leads me to believe he liked the thought of them escaping and chasing after them or something.
I can't believe nothing happened after the first two guys. They were obviously pretty shaken and scared. It does remind me of the Dahmer case.
I've seen this in another case. The impression I get is that if the person went there willingly and after the assault told police they weren't pressing charges, technically the police don't have to do anything. If I were a cop, I'd personally have cops going on Grinder undercover to see what this guy was really doing...
I can
Better they molest each other than our children. I’d prefer the cops do nothing. I pay their salaries with my tax money and they shouldn’t waste their time protecting child molesters.
Really honestly it shouldn't matter if someone doesn't want to press charges the police should investigate
Yes! It was reminding me of Dahmer as well.
Mike lad, you had me at “Rocky Mountain Oysters.” You have a special talent for presenting these stories in such a way that never disrespect the victims while saying what we all feel about the beastly monsters that committed these crimes.

@@cellularbunny my heart goes out to you. That’s terrifying.
It's very important they take their meds too
You scared you'll also be schizophrenic someday soon also??
This shows how important it is to press charges.
Cops have the ability to follow through with an investigation and press charges regardless of the victim's willingness to press charges. This was just an easy excuse for them to not do police work when a drugging, kidnapping, and imprisonment sorta seems like it would warrant at least a look and a few questions. Clearly, the police didn't give a crap, and even if charges were pressed, they wouldn't follow through most likely.. saying this was just "some queers having fun". They believed the killer when he pretty much told them that. This happens far too often. The police are to blame, not the victims.
@@higler. You are correct, in certain situations an officer can investigate and and press charges without victim cooperation. But I guarantee you there is no prosecutor that will follow through with those charges without victim cooperation. If there is no witness to testify there is no trial. So it may seem on the surface that the police didn't "give a crap" but more likely encountered someone who didn't want to be helped.
Couldn't agree more. It's very sad it was just left like that 😔
@@lindam.6210 that's ridiculous to say. People are put away for life with less evidence... completely circumstantial evidence actually. No victim, no cooperation of witnesses.

Probably the scummiest defense argument ever conceived.
“See, he took antidepressants! Therefore, he wanted a strange weirdo to butcher him in a basement!”
Well it worked for that one guy who posted an online ad looking for a victim that would let him eat him. “It was consensual, he responded to the ad”
The creepiest part of that case was the fact they grilled his penis and had to throw it out because it was inedible. Just imagine that. It’s like that horrible feeling you get when wasting food but x1000 because it’s your dick.
@Nickleback is Australian psychological warfare he did consent and knew he was eating himself
Ikr like the numbers of people taking antidepressants is highly increasing doesn’t mean they want to be dead!
True. I've been on them for over 20 years and have never wanted or even thought about anything like that.

@@bgp.8327 I wasn't trying to start a debate, just stating a fact about how many LGBTQ people are at a disadvantage in terms of support networks, and that sadly makes them easier targets for perpetrators. Same goes for sex workers, people addicted to substances, homeless people, etc. Also lots of people get murdered despite having people who knew the details of their upcoming dates.
I would assert that a much more effective safety measure would be to give dates the IMPRESSION that you have people who know who you'll be with and where you'll go, etc., even if it's not true.
Thank you so much. Ever since I learned about Kevin I have had the image of him playing trumpet across the room from me in band. He always had a smile on his face. He had a harder life but never showed it.
It really really scared and made me so MAD when the media focused on Jeffery star and their publicity instead of linking the go fund me to the families funeral. I think and hurt for him every day.
Edit: I graduated with Kevin and I am so proud he put this sick person away
Im so sorry for your loss, honey. And yes, Jeffree couldve donated it anonymously, but that doesnt seem to be him at all.
I met Kevin at a BLM rally after we went to a soy convention (super random I know lol) and he was such a great guy. I’m really going to miss him

How'd the hair look?
@@ZDiddy7777 coulddn't be as bad as Kevin's, that's for sure
Mike, thank you for covering this case. I am from the same small town as Kevin. While I hate that his family had and continues to go through this awful tragedy, I hope that by making the story more public lives can be saved. The one thing that you missed was that friends/family and police reached out to Grindr over and over from the time he was missing until they found his phone imploring the company to give them access to Kevin’s messages and they refused over and over.
I can understand Grindr not wanting to release information to alleged friends and family for ....reasons. But not the police? Why didn't the police get a warrant? THAT bothers me
@@Lady_Phoenix I think it's pretty obvious that cops generally don't give a damn, until a case reaches public outrage stage and then they start falling over themselves to cover up their failures.
@@Lady_Phoenix yeah, releasing such information to civilians, regardless of their connection to the user, is just respecting basic privacy laws and i would expect nothing less from any of my social media accounts and frankly would delete any one of them if i found out they would just release that information to people just cause they are family. However, there is no excuse for denying that information to police looking into an active missing persons case where the user is the missing person, in my opinion that's just straight criminal.
I remember when this happened. I never knew kevin or really crossed paths, but i was a student at UM-Flint at the same time he was and a close friend of mine even sat next to him in a psychology class and had a few school related conversations. By all accounts seemed like a lovely man and of course did not deserve the horror he went through in his last moments. Love and thoughts to his family.
So sad this wasn’t stopped before Kevin’s life was taken. I could understand the police being confused the first time but after a second man escaped with the EXACT SAME STORY ???!!!!!!!
Great work Mike , I hope you feel better soon ♥️ because I love ya ♥️
I've actually noticed a theme of police not taking queer people seriously, even when there's real danger. I don't understand how this happens.
@@JeevesPeabodyPOGO Yeah, this situation was just like back when a couple cops returned a screaming, crying victim of Dahmer right back to him, laughing in the victim's face. I'm glad Mike brought that up specifically in the video.
@@hwlgrmmr I agree with that or also that case in the UK where those guys reported over and over again to the police that they had been drugged and other things but the police didn't give a flying flimsy and a young man lost his life because of it. I can't remember what the guy's name was or the victims but it was a while back Mike did a video on this and the things that really stick in my brain about it is that he called the police and was like, "There's a drunk guy passed out in front of my apartment building." When really he had drugged the dude the night before and killed him. Also that the murderer wore an obvious blonde wig in his dating app profile pictures to hide his baldness. No shame in being bald, just the obviousness of the wig stuck out to me. I'm also pretty sure that the victim that got him caught was not his only victim but don't quote me on that.

I'm from the area Kevin was from. A lot of my friends were close with him. I've been waiting to see if you'd ever do this case. With the news we got last week about his sentencing I knew it was going to start popping up in the community. I'm just torn if I can watch it yet being so close to home. I'm sure you did the story well, Mike. 🖤
I remember seeing Kevin’s photos on the internet when he went missing. His brightness and big happy smile broke my heart then, they still break my heart. I can’t imagine the pain his loved ones have been feeling 😔
Mike, you are so good at these stories. You have a special way of making them easier to hear by adding comedy that NEVER insults or diminishes what the victims went through. You are one in a gazillion kind sir!
Be well, be safe and thank you for your hard work!
How so ? I love Mike but he absolutely says things in bad taste from time to time such as *He didn't let a thing go to waste ie: Kevins boday parts aka eating a human being. Now imagine watching this as a family member or friend hearing Mike say that.. I'm going out on a limb here but I'm gonna say you've never had the horror of having a murder in the family, I pray you never do.
That’s exactly what sets him apart from the hundreds of other channels covering these stories, and he *never* has used humor at the expense of a victim... yet I still sometimes see hateful commenters acting angry that he inserts humor at all 🙄 there were a lot more of them when I started watching 4 years ago & just a handful of people trying hard to be offended now, so I suppose that’s good progress

I was surprised. Often you hear 911 calls later, that they thought it was just a joke or prank, & the person doesn't get help. I wish the cops would've investigated the original calls deeper, there's a reason if to grown men, run out of a house, pleading for help- even if they're homosexual.

Friendly reminder that the police can do virtually nothing in cases like these if the victim does not want to press charges. Rodney Alcala was also able to escape significant jail time because his surviving victim's family moved to Mexico with her, leaving no one to testify against him.
Not only that, they fear being labeled 'homophobic' which could mean disciplinary action - so, if it appears consensual, cops will tend to look the other way. (That's what happened in the Dahmer case).
Yes, exactly. When I heard that phone call from one of the victims, & he plainly stated he didn't want the matter pursued & he just wanted to go home, I knew that was exactly what was going to transpire. Unfortunately most cities or counties are overwhelmed & understaffed, & if someone requests they don't want to pursue a matter....more times than not, that is exactly what is going to occur.
Like it or not, victims, even though they are severely traumatized, do have a responsibility to prosecute their perpetrator(s). If they do not, then what happened to them will most definitely occur again to yet another innocent person. Sad but true.
@@franceshaypenny8481 sorry, but nothing about the Dahmer case "appeared consensual." Police returned an underage boy who was drugged, naked, and bleeding to Dahmer's apartment. Bystanders could tell it wasn't consensual, so why couldn't trained police officers? Because they didn't care
May not be a popular opinion but I definitely don't blame the police on this one. Those guys both told the police to drop it. You ask me, the cowardice of those two men is what cost Mr. Bacon his life. I understand that they where scared of being outed but at the end of the day, they put their personal fears ahead of stopping a deranged psychopath. They already survived the day. All they had to do to is tell the truth. They failed. I hope they know what happened and I hope it eats away at them.

If the victim does not cooperate, not much can be done.

Same 😩
@Jake E The international bankers the Rothchilds who do you think runs it ?
@Jake E what do you mean by runs the world? You mean control? Are you controlled by these groups? How is a person born with free will controlled? It's a trick question but one I'd think about. I am controlled by my desires, and influenced by my soul.. but outside of that...these groups your eluding to operate successfully because we allow them too. They affect our lives because we choose to let them. They exert their will through a way of life they sell us and we buy. To opt out of that delusion is completely doable. Many don't subscribe to their manipulation. This evil guy was motivated by a sick broken mind that didn't even serve himself. Luring people in to satisfy an urge he overtime adopted. That to me is way scarier than some group planning for world domination, through our own desires and weaknesses. Sensless torture and killing, with no motivation. Or reason. And if you believe they are who they are then you know there are those who oppose them and always will, and what happens to both sides.
@@lovelyscorp79 His reply was in reference to your extremely naive comment about you never knowing there was such evil in the world. If you read his comment in context then your entire nonsense comment is unnecessary.

Have you ever heard about, Ward Weaver The Turd?
It isn't likely without the men being willing to write statements about escaped from this horror chamber that something could have been done and potentially preventing Kevin from meeting up with this very sick disturbed man. I cannot begin to understand or fathom what Kevin went through. May he rest in peace and his loved ones have some sense of justice with Mark behind bars. Mike, I hope you are feeling better soon.
Good point
Agreed. Those two incidents were unfortunately, from a legal perspective, domestic disputes that couldn't be pursued unless the victims were willing to give statements. Same reason a lot of date rapists and domestic abusers can't easily be prosecuted if the victims don't want to push for it. It's less homophobia and more that law enforcements' hands were just tied there.
Yeah, but, don’t the police have to separate the two(or however many)
people, take their stories & then make sure one of the parties leave the premises???? I find it hard to believe we haven’t progressed any further than the Dahlmer spree. That happened in the 80’s & it’s deja vu, all over again, over 30 years later!!! Smh!
Is there no way to enforce the medication of people who are this disturbed? If someone is this off kilter, shouldn’t liberty depend on medical intervention? Might have saved this poor guys life, and stopped the guy in the previous episode from killing all those innocent people at the Waffle House.
@@lainyfromrainypnw both of the men were not at his house when the police where called and the police can not force then to make statements or press charges. The only thing the police can do is write up what happened and that the person refused to report a "crime" was committed against them. It is a very unfortunate situation.

When he said he was trying to speed up his death because he was already unconscious I felt my stomach turn.
I would have thought hearing that would make me feel relieved for Kevin but instead his helplessness in not being able to defend himself made me feel sick.
@@johnsoens5185 Nah. What happens with all sane people, meaning non-psychopaths is that they can get a deep conscious and sub-conscious sense of relief from watching videos like this of murderers being captured and sentenced.
We see and hear about murders in the news all the time in our society. This can create apprehension to differing degrees, depending on the person. Watching cop shows like Law and Order can subconsciously help people to a degree but watching real murderers being taken off the streets and sent to jail for life helps to a greater degree.
@@MrStringybark Very well-said and sound from a psychological standpoint. Part of this fascination involves knowing the ending - cf. Gestalt; this is also why unsolved mysteries have such a large audience. It is human nature to want to know more, to want an ending and therefore a sense of justice, to want to understand these creatures partly to feel they can be avoided, partly to reassure yourself that no matter how messed-up you are, you'll never be the lowest of the low. Your comment was far more thoughtful than that supercilious, holier-than-thou, virtue-signalling perennial commentator deserved.
@@booksnuggler2494 You're utterly right and thank you for adding more to what needed to be said.
I actually remember this for a different reason. Latunski moved in some similar online circles as I did for a long time. Granted, I wasn't his type so I never communicated with him. Lacked the bits for it. But he was well known as a dangerous fellow by all of us. He started using Grindr due to the forum labeling him as dangerous and asking him to remove himself after someone barely escaped his house with burns on the back of their neck and needed stitches. He traumatized his subs, and we all saw what was coming. There was a petition signed and forwarded to law enforcement but since it was just "sex stuff" it was never taken seriously. Even BDSM has its limits. This guy didn't have any.
Degenerates…one and all.
It's horrible that the info provided to LE wasn't taken seriously. I'm a retired cam girl that specialized in certain kinks and I've had to report people who outright admitted to committing crimes (one being SA of a child) and others who seriously posed a danger to others (talked about unaliving and SA) and I can only hope those reports were taken seriously and the people were tracked down.
That should be enough to scare you straight
@@chukwumachigbo6716 Victim blaming ahhh they don’t deserve pain. What they do is consensual with safe words, it’s not the community that’s dangerous it’s the psychopaths that use it.
@@chukwumachigbo6716 ummmm just to point out the obvious....... straight people also love their BDSM and also straight people can go over the top in their sadism. You are supposed to agree to a "safe word" and if the person says it, YOU STOP, that's the end. So if someone sets up a petition, law enforcement damn well need to do something about it. That is not CONSENT. 👍

I met Kevin a few years before this happened. He was so sweet. I was deeply shocked and angered by this.
My daughter went to school with Kevin. When news of his vicious murder broke it devastated the entire community. It was so sad to learn what had happened. His murderer hung around in Swartz Creek at least a few times. In fact, my cousin had a photo of him on her phone because he was at the grocery store in that leather kilt and she thought it was a little weird. Needless to say she was super freaked out after she saw his picture on the news.
I went to high school with him too, but I was a senior when he was a freshman. I put off my prereqs of health and gym until senior year, I don't remember if he was in my classes. I was in chorale with his sister, though.
@@hiwrik Small world. My son went to Swartz Creek as well. He graduated in 2012. My daughter graduated in 2015.
Not to make light of this horrific crime and overall monster, but yea I can see how a man in a leather kilt browsing the vegetable department at your local grocery store would be *at the very least* a weird sight lol 🤣🥴😵💫🤷🏻♀️ I can’t believe it took someone losing their life so tragically for someone in law enforcement to really pay attention- so sad. 🥺💔
@@kirbyourenthusiasm I graduated from SC in 2000
Sad, those guys who got away, left the police no choice…..they should have pressed charges. Appreciate the download man👍✌️
I'd imagine both of them didn't want the public embarrassment. That would have most certainly made some media waves, concerning a popular app and all. I hope they never hear about this case- that's a new level of survivor's guilt right there.
Michigander here, this story is disturbing. It was awful to hear about as the news was covering it, the new developments, etc.
One of the things you worry about, with it being cold, is that someone is out in it. This is one of the times it turned out to be way worse.

I was going to say “Michigander” lmao however I do enjoy Mikes Michiganian just as much lmao
“And I don’t want to pursue it, I want to go home”
I hate that this is a common occurrence amongst people who go through these traumatizing situations. I just hope they’re able to move on and be okay. I want some of them to nut up and point these pure shid piles out.
Yea, Kevin may be here today if he'd have nut up...and, of course, if psycho didn't kill him.
It must be an awful decision to make... knowing you deserve justice and the dangerous person needs to be looked into / locked up, but also knowing that 1. it will just drag out the entire ordeal and feel like ongoing trauma, 2. you could potentially face retaliation if the perpetrator gets let off and now has all your details from the investigation, 3. investigation processes don't protect victims during and afterwards...
I don't blame them for wanting to escape and be done with it ASAP.
this is why its sad tracy edwards had such a hard life with little support...he took down jeffrey dahmer...saved lives..i brought this up recently that many victims just run and they don't report it
Same. I am sure it’s terrifying, so terrifying and the scariest thing that could ever happen to someone, and very hard but how will you live with yourself if you could have had someone prosecuted but they were left free and then killed someone. My thing would be, what if they’re given a slap on the wrist and now they’ll have a grudge against me for getting them in trouble, they know my full name and will have my address (they’re legally allowed to face their accuser, and a photo of your identification would be in the legal discovery from the prosecution). My family, myself, my friends, id never really feel safe. But then again knowing they’re out there free at all I wouldn’t feel safe. I just stay away from strangers as much as possible and definitely wouldn’t go to a strangers house. Now that I’m older. However in my stupid younger days, I definitely went to random peoples places I met at bars or thru other friends to hang out. Stupid kid.
As a survivor, unfortunately, I totally understand the person escaping not wanting to go thru the compounded trauma of trying to press charges when assaulted. I kept a plastic bag holding a sanitary object that was removed as part of a violent assault for weeks because more than anything I wanted to go report and attempt to receive justice, but being aware that I wasn't a perfect victim, I eventually accepted just being grateful for surviving, and I often pray that I never come across a case bearing my attacker's face and a date after my assault because so often victims are not believed & you revictimize yourself with no results other than further damage to yourself because of how assault victims are handled and treated in the good old USA. I would hate to know someone else was hurt but I also doubt my report would have done a damn thing - that would have, more likely than not, required my corpse, not my testimony.
Take care of yourself Mike, Cause we love ya. Thanks for the amazing content. The time and energy put into every video doesn't go unnoticed. You're the man,man, keep up the great work. Thanks for doing this case, truly sad how these monsters get away with so much for so long. No wonder why they get worse and worse in their actions. They are boldened by not having consequences.
I use to drive past mark latunskys house everyday on my way home from work it stuck out because of the architecture of the house. So crazy to think something that close to home can happen. Thanks for the video mike.
This one makes me so sad. He seemed like such a sweetheart. And I might have yelled obscenities at my computer when the defense was trying to imply that being on antidepressants means he obviously wanted to die. On the contrary, it means you're actively trying not to.
That’s so infuriating to hear being depressed myself. The defence attorney disgusts me. So many people are on antidepressants because our brains, much like our organs don’t function the way they should, and medications help.
I take antidepressants. I definitely don't want to die.
I'm pretty sure being on antidepressants means you _don't_ want to die. That's why you're on meds.
It also implies that mentally ill people have no choice to get better. Even if Kevin doesn't have medications in his system, the defense will still use the exact same argument anyway.
Uggghhhh that was my reaction too 😡
It’s way easier to die than to drag yourself to the doctor and therapist for a million appointments, spend tons of money at their office and then the pharmacy, literally experimenting with your brain chemistry until we find something that works _well enough_ …
Sounds like Kevin was trying to live his dreams and work through stuff (like most young adults) - may he Rest In Peace
So strange seeing these videos about Kevin now... I love true crime stories, always hoping the victim gets away or justice at the very least. What he went through is horrific, unimaginable that someone could do such things. This is too close to home. I live in Flint. He was friends with my cousin in Swartz Creek. I hope you've found a new beginning, Kevin.
May you rest in piss, Mark.
I always get secondhand embarrassment when it’s a case from Michigan 🙃. I actually remember hearing about this case because the victims name was so distinctive it was hard not to pay attention to the headlines. RIP Kevin

The timing you have for your humor is spot on!!! I was literally saying out loud " Did we learn NOTHING from Jeffery Dahmer???" LOL as always clicked right away when I saw your video post!
This case scared me off of grinder for a while. I used to live 40 miles away from where this case took place and I was actively using grinder at the time looking for people in the BDSM scene. I feel very lucky that I never encountered Mark Latunsky
Geez man. Way too close of a call. Be safe out there.
Omg, I can only imagine.. Please, if you go to hook up, leave the information to someone you trust and tell to call the cops if youre not in touch within x amount of time.

I so agree with you. There's no way l would ever go on dating sites. I'd find it all too scary - you never know what you could be facing. I suppose some women do find love out there. But l bet there are thousands of women who get involved in a relationship with a man who's abusive, both physically and mentally, controlling, stalking etc., the list goes on. It may work out well for some women and I'm happy for them. But girls & men too be careful & stay safe ❤

Wow, brought back memories of a strange neighbor of ours. Seemed like every weekend in the summer all you ever heard were screams, maybe more like loud moans coming from his house. I’m sure the open windows (not everyone had a/c back then) made them easier hear with the way sound travels. I remember none of the adults seemed to care, but us kids were like “WTF”, sounded like he was killing someone. You know, time goes by and I sometimes wonder whatever happened to him, Mike Litorski. Rumor had it he went Down Under and never came back up.

Absolutely lovely? That wouldn't be my portrayal of a man who went to meet a total stranger for a BDSM encounter; "mentally ill" would perhaps be more accurate.
I'm so happy that you picked tremors for your Kevin Bacon references. Legit one of my favourite movies.
I grew up in Jackson MI and had a lot of friends who knew Kevin. Everyone was horrified by what happened, it was such a sad waste of a life. Thanks for covering his story.
This is why, you should always report and charge. Save lives.
I wouldn't be surprised if the previous victims didn't refuse to charge him. My daughter refused to show up to court after she brought charges against a guy who was a nut case. She was told by police she had no choice but to follow through, but ultimately the charges were dropped because she failed to show up at the court. He went on to shoot at a cop in his grand parents front lawn and unfortunately survived by a quarter inch when the officer shot him. They even repaired his voice box🤬 I wish she had followed through with the charges, if not for herself, then for potentially another victim.
You really should have your own tv programme. So talented in producing these vids 👌🏼 enjoy them every time, thanks Mike
Heartbreaking! Sending condolences to his family, friends, and community.

This is a horrific case. It made me sad to think he went for a BDSM encounter, and the thoughts he must of had when he realized it was so much more horrible than that, it was his own murder. Other men made it out, but he didn’t.

@@johnsoens5185 Do you have a hobby? You're here on every other video and comment. Seriously, you don't like it, don't watch. I watch very little true crime, hubby watches some stuff I don't, but I don't judge him for it. It is human to be fascinated by the highs and lows of humanity and there are many human ways to deal with the latter, dark humour being just one. And yes, I have known a murderer, 2 traumatized families of killers, and a victim and their traumatized loved ones. Many of the people who suffer through the repercussions of such crimes have some pretty dark humour - it's not everyone's taste, but there are many reactions to death and tragedy. You don't have any moral authority over that.
Why pick on a RUclipsr - one that is relatively benign compared to some that revel in every grisly detail or do cheesy re-enactments, stock photos, sell serial killer merch - when major networks literally make millions on the same crimes from the news to Dr. Phil to movies of the week? Watch true crime in doc form, watch the grisly version, don't watch it at all, whatever. But frankly, your obsession with That Chapter is almost as creepy as some of the people being covered.

There is so much to love about Mike. I think number one for me is, that he says it like it is. Not afraid to call people out. No pc wooy cover excuse for a job NOT done. Especially when a life is stolen, that could've been saved. My prayers to his family.

It hurts when you think most of the victims of killers and "bad people" were, for the most part, good people trying their best in life even with all their personal problems. Life indeed aint fair. RIP Kevin. PD: get well soon, Mike!
Bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people, and everything in between. There is nothing keeping the world fair except our feeble attempts-
anyone who thinks life works differently is living in a fantasy land. It sucks, but I honestly think that accepting this helps us deal with bad stuff happening, otherwise we feel like the universe is out to get us everything something bad happens.
Another paradigm is victims often become "saints" because it triggers virtue signaling. A lot of the victims in these stories have their own issues and involvement bias.
I don’t think Mark is guilty TBH. He had a “Hate Has No Home Here” welcome mat, and a “Diversity Is Our Strength” flag in the window. Does that sound like a bad person to you?

@@badabing8152 I’m not sure what you’re trying to say lol but she’s the well inspector for Shiawassee county- her name is Kathryn Plashek.
Your MIL was perfectly safe. Women clearly aren't the target for him. That's how pedophiles go undetected too. If you aren't in the target demographic you'll probably only ever see "the nice guy" side, or at worst think they're kinda weird or like in this case be able to chalk it up to "unmedicated" or eccentric.
Source: coworker was arrested and convicted of having child porn of his own "adopted" kids (he married a woman whose children were young, I'm unsure if they were officially adopted but they were considered his kids) and he was well like by the people he worked with
Holy shit! This whole situation happened in my home county of Shiawassee and it has been the biggest topic anyone talked about for years, literally. We still talk about it where I work. It's really surreal to see you talking about our middle-of-nowhere community.
hi!! I'm from shiawasee too! I was surprised to see Mike giving this one a goo
Fellow shiawassian. This case is wild but I'm glad Mike covered it. And justice is being served.
Hell, I'm from Morrice and I rode the same bus to school as Mark did!
appreciate your work Mike!
I live about an hour south of Swartz Creek and I remember when this happened. I grew up in Detroit and I've seen/heard some crazy things, but this is by far the most disturbing crime I've heard of happening in Michigan in my lifetime. Kevin seemed like a truly sweet guy. You can see it in his face. Also, the proper term is "Michigander". I think "Michiganian" sounds cooler, but what can you do? lol
Hey neighbor... Pontiac here💗
Hi TC. Mike you are one of the best channels on You Tube. Always looking forward to your shows. This story is sooooo gross & unbelievable! How can anyone enjoy being that damn crazy? Thinking something like that doesn't even enter my mind at all! Although I've actually hated people in my life & sometimes wished they were never in it, all that gives you more reason not to have them in your life at all. RIP Kevin. Peace & hope your having a happy & pleasant evening, love, Janine Smiley 🙂😀😎😇🌝🌞🏡✌👍🙏🆒️💯❕❗💋❤👀👣🇺🇸🇬🇧
@@lilyj8420 Ann Arbor here 😊👋
Love you too Mike! I hope you get feeling better very soon.
I've been fighting a head/chest cold for a couple weeks.....but it's slowly getting better.
Michigander. That's what we call ourselves.
This story was all over the news and I remember it very clearly. I drove through that area a couple times a month while traveling to visit my dad. I had friends that lived in the area and used grindr. For a little bit there I was so scared there were more crazies out there going to lure my friends in.
I do wanna say it's a relief having the murderer at least admit they committed the crime. It's so infuriating when they don't.
Mike, I hope you feel better! Props on the fact you’re still keeping us entertained even if you’re sick. 😊😅
Mike, you and your crew, (if u have one) put so much time and effort into your videos and I am soooo grateful for your hard work. And if it's only you, awesome ! I love your channel. Never stop !!
11:50 I was literally typing out that this reminded me of Dahmer when you said it. Yeah it's horrible how many cops will ignore clear warning signs like this when it's happening to anyone who isn't white. We see so many examples of people of color, sex workers, queer people, heck even animals being repeatedly targeted but cops stand by and do nothing. That story of the cops bringing that boy back to Dahmer's place after he'd escaped still brings rage boiling up in my head when I think about it.
I was thinking the same thing about Dahmer. Mike, thank you for talking about how the police bias ended in the death of Kevin. I realize bias is an understatement, but S C did a great job of explaining exactly what is really going on. There is so much hate in the world at this time and so many people with a sense of entitlement and no one calling them out on their behavior. It is really getting scary.
If I was a cop, I would go out of my way to make sure that if a person is exclaiming that they have "escaped a killer " you just treat their claims as true
But the guys refused to give any information, even the guy’s name. What should they have done?
@@cuppycakey5013 Idk, maybe believe the person whose terrified and saying they were held captive in a basement?? Have a brain??
@@BoxOKittens Maybe you need a brain instead you ignoramus. The cops cannot do anything if a criminal report is not made. Blame the two cowards who were willing to let this guy go without pressing charges instead of the police officers who couldn't do anything about it. I seriously think some of you people have literal brain damage from using the internet too much. Here is a thought for you, go look up how law enforcement actually works.
I've watched quite a few videos on this case and it always gets to me. However, there are several things you mentioned that I didn't know about this case.. I never knew that creep was married! 🤮
Thanks for always giving the victims a voice Mike 🙏💖
