Mark Twitchell | Wannabe Serial Killer

so once again John Alton here is what a naming norm you probably like that's trying to rent the place from nobody by the name it Jim means anything to you no no doubt in my mind at all mark why not other than those ridiculous here involved over your hand does anything please you're saying genuine or is this some sort of detective you don't get away from the acting part mark this just was a professional it was just like he was maybe his first time that's how I thought of it hey you and welcome my name is Mike and in this all video what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about have a goo on a killer named Mark Twitchell yeah we're going back to Canada in Bissel and specifically Edmonton I don't know why it keeps coming up I'm sorry but there really must be nothing to do there this guy was inspired by the TV show Dexter pretty well-known show though I think he missed the point because I'm pretty sure Dexter just kills other killers well what do I know I've never actually watched a show in 2008 mark lured a man named Johnny Altinger to his home and well let's get into it [Music] Oh mark Twitchell was born on the 4th of July in 1979 growing up he had big dreams Hollywood baby he wanted to hit the big time it was blockbuster films he wanted to direct and he did so in the mega hit star wars secrets of the rebellion a 2007 bull linked fan film that was set a few days prior to the original film probably relegated to Star Wars legends by Disney oh and actually no it was never released in September 2008 he also shot a short horror film called house of cards it told the story of a man who was lured from an internet dating website to a garage where a killer was lying in wait once inside the garage the unsuspecting victim was attacked unbound to a table and murdered with a butcher knife try think of that Kevin Spacey horror house of cards joke smooth pasta the TV show Dexter starring what's-his-face Michael C hull that debuted in 2006 arm boy Harry was Mark a fan so taking I I don't know what inspiration from the show the kill room I guess he decided to make his house of cards a reality catfishing that was the name of the game he got on one of those dating apps he pretends to be a woman he then decided for the crack to start luring lads over to well you know that horror film the first time he did it was to a guy named Giles Petri olds I'm sure I push her that but hey me mispronouncing stuff is half the fun when he arrived at the garage mark came out of with a stun baton and managed to blindfold him thankfully Giles fought back and managed to escape however when outside the stun baton turned his legs to jelly when he tried to call for help from a passerby mark just run out and say hey guys it's all a game we're just playing around hey you were just playing just fooling around come on Giles don't be a [ __ ] when that didn't really work mark went back inside and Giles managed to get back in his car and get away he later explained to police the reason he didn't immediately report this attempted murder to the police was that he said mark told him if he did he was gonna you know finish the job his next victim Johnny Altinger you wouldn't be so lucky Johnny Altinger was a 38 year old man who worked as an oilfield equipment manufacturer on October 10th 2008 Johnny informed his friends of his plans to meet a woman he had been chatting with on the online dating website plenty of fish there he met Jen and they really headed off here's an email Jen sent to Johnny although this sounds exciting I have to make sure you're not some kind of weirdo and so far you seem fairly well put together but anyone can lie online right they sure can I want to play very much but I have to be cautious as I'm sure you can understand if you're okay with this let me know if not we'll have to miss each other on a lighter note though if we really guess you said you would four days off how long can I keep you if I choose maybe you should pack for a few days well Johnny didn't pack which will come up again later this is the last email Johnny sent to a friend oh boy he thought he was getting real lucky that night when Johnny arrived at the address provided by Jen he received a text message telling him to come into the garage where she would be waiting the same garagem Eric tried to get Giles in it was set up like a kill room from Dexter in the center of the garage was a heavy metal table the size of a pool table the table was covered and surrounded by plastic sheets to catch blood splatter once johnny was inside mark ambushed him with a butcher knife and a heavy pipe he bludgeoned Johnny wid the pipe and then stabbed him to death mark then cut him up and attempted to burn his remains when this was unsuccessful he dumped his limbs on organs in a sewer following Johnny's disappearance Johnny's friends actually become pretty worried after they received an email from Johnny not telling him that his dates was taking him on an extended vacation to Costa Rica as you do it's worded very weirdly just comparing it to the previous email he sent his friend hey there friend I've known for years I've met an extraordinary woman named Jen who was offered to take me on a nice long tropical vacation we'll be staying in her winter house in Costa Rica phone number to follow soon I won't be back in town until December 10th and I will be checking my email periodically see you around the holidays Johnny at work a resignation letter arrived by email but never responded to a request for a forwarding address for sending the final paycheck red flag Johnny's friends then decided to break into his condominium only to find his passport dirty dishes and no indication of him having packed for a trip and I guess going on a random trip with someone you've never met before to Costa Rica sounds so believable well as you can imagine the Edmonton Police Service launched an investigation during this time mark Twitchell would tell a friend on Facebook this weekend I made the rounds to to Thanksgiving events and I also had something else keeping me busy but I'm really concerned about telling anyone because of the implications suffice it to say that I crossed the line on Friday and I liked it it didn't take long for police to track mark down before Johnny went to Jan's house he had sent an email to a friend basically saying where he was going gave them the address mark under interrogation said he had no idea who Jen or Johnny Altinger work what who then I just like Dexter you want to make movies I've no idea you're talking about I'm going to talk to Angela because the fact that you happen to be the record that went to our attention due to a missing groups okay now first of all team please save your being marked whistle that me I'm just thinking about this I mean kind of odd that you're filming that kind of thing and we end up going to make garage because of a missing person yeah possibly would that's really freaky too and as soon as they called me on the phone as soon as Max Hall call me Ted bet now this is what's going on this weird chill know you've been told that we're looking for missing that okay having been an old estate no okay the name is John okay old hanger alt IMG er okay does that name ring a bell T for me a never heard it before now do you have any girls their plight by you or that take part in anything and it was in neuro the same sort of time frame that you were there you know that he would have been there okay like in the afternoon really now and he was supposed to go there meet a girl who described the address over again the lessons from these math through one you know in their psyche does the name Jan mean anything to you no hospital next will ask me about that too and yeah yeah tanner so the name gem doesn't mean anything to you don't know what Jim you don't have an actress named Jim so once again John Walton here is not a name ignore you nobody like that's tried to rent the place from nobody by the name it Jim means anything to you know however when interviewed a second time mark really pulled it out of the bag by giving a just ridiculous story he said he bumped into Johnny before he jetted off to Costa Rica and Johnny sold mark his car for forty bucks something else I want to tell you Marth that's that there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that you're involved in the disappearance of John Alton sure no doubt in my mind at all mark why as I said mark there's no doubt in my mind that you're involved in his disappearance I have no idea what the hell's going on you do have an idea you have a very good idea what's though you know exactly what happened there that night you know very well that you don't buy a car that's worth over $10,000 from someone for $40 you know that part of your story it's just it's just lie after lie after lie it's time to end those lies mark the police called [ __ ] and arrested mark on the 31st of October 2008 that same day they charged him with first-degree murder [Music] mark ah mark man you really did yourself no favors by deciding to after killing Johnny Wright his story it read this story is based on true events the names an events were altered slightly to protect the guilty this is the story of my progression into becoming a serial killer it'd be funny and pretty cringy writing actually if he hadn't killed somebody already he also described how he played with Johnny's severed head I grabbed his jaw with my gloved hand and moved it while making a funny voice to make it look like it was talking and chuckled to myself at the total silliness of it all yikes so police found this document that had those passages written in it on his laptop it was titled SK confessions or serial killer confessions here are some more excerpts where he talks about Hayes disturbing plans I finally settled on middle-aged single men who lived alone my reasons were numerous for one thing they would be easy to lead by their dicks easy to manipulate easy to seduce under my fake female disguises they were also the most likely targets to have the most expendable money in their bank accounts a tidbit I would use to my advantage later on finally by living alone once they were out of the picture I could easily enter their living spaces undetected with no forced entry and remove all sorts of valuable items from the premises I bought a hunter's game processing kit which if you think about it is ideal for this scenario why not use a whole set of tools designed to take apart large mammals in the forest on the fly it reduces the splatter caused by power tools takes the noise level way down to under is also just something more gratifying and that's sawing through tendons on bone with your bare hands and using something else that takes the fun out of the work my kill knife was different though I wanted the weapon used for the deed itself to be simple elegant unbeautiful in its own way so I dropped by a military surplus store and picked up a well crafted hunting knife with an eight-inch blade I would use this weapon to cleanly unsympathetic temeka allowing them to bleed out quickly and with no pain I'm not a torturer guy Jesus Christ again the noise level from the screams it's not my thing at all but I only resort to that if they are still alive after apprehension and won't give me these simple information I ask for several rolls of painters plastic sheeting to prep my kill room at least six rolls of packaging tape and just as many rolls of duct tape as well as two boxes of contractor grade hefty bags I picked up a stone baton because I thought that would render my targets without use of their muscles quickly and painlessly bought an extra realistic airsoft pistol something that could very easily be mistaken for the real thing especially in low lights for just that extra edge a search of marks car turned up Jonny's DNA as well as a yellow sticky pad that had clean up the kill room written on it he just really didn't give a [ __ ] and then written after that was a go have sex with the woman who's not your wife mark he was married and he had a baby who was nine months old at the time the police also discovered a novel about Dexter a search of his Facebook showed that Mark had an obsession with Dexter loved all the fan pages and even referred to himself as Dexter which is just sad in June 2010 almost two years after his arrest while still awaiting trial mark gave police a hand-drawn map highlighting the location where he disposed of Johnny Alton Jers remains the police also took him around town to see if they could well see anything you'll still be able to be young enough to write a movie about this is to be your ticket and be a movie about yourself based on a true life story hey Mark we beat a dead horse here are you gonna tell us where the body is simple question mark can't you answer that I think we've been pretty decent with you you can do at least give us an answer on them our investigation is impeccable our evidence evidence is flawless evidence speaks for itself as I said the only piece of the puzzle that's missing is returning Johnny Altinger to his family the decent thing to do all we're saying is you can end the story and just satisfy the family and we're just trying to do our jobs but without the body I have no doubt in my mind no doubt absol whatsoever that you will be convicted of first-degree murder minimum 25 years no chance of parole what are you thinking about mark I'm curious what does the math think about he's on his last ride in the city facing a type of sentence you're facing what do they think you put those thoughts down what were you thinking is that the the lock you bought at the store there I showed you the walmart receipt combo lock you put it on here you put it on the front too easy during his trial mark confessed to killing Johnny who claimed he had done so in self-defense he claimed that he had lured Johnny to the garage on the premise of telling him that it was all a big hoax hoping that he would write about it on the internet and create a big buzz for his short film he said that Johnny did not seem humored at the revelation that Jen wasn't a real woman then what happened according to Mark was that he and Johnny got into a scrub and Mark grabbed a pipe and smashed him over the forehead he then reached her a knife and stabbed Johnny to protect himself protect himself from a man laying on the floor with a caved-in skull the prosecution refuted this claim and contended that Mark lured Johnny to the garage for one reason to kill him in a way that would match the movie he had made just weeks beforehand in 2011 after a month of testimony on evidence which included Johnny's DNA being found in marks car and clothing the jury deliberated for about five hours they found Mark Twitchell guilty of first-degree murder which carries an automatic life sentence without parole for a minimum of 25 years mark also faced an attempted murder charge for his attack on Giles however the attempted murder charge was dropped he could have killed me right away like right when I walked in I didn't see him he could have hit me over the head with a bat Vuitton or anything I could I knocked me unconscious right away and I I don't know why he did that his whole plan was to use this taser thing on me first then I was stupid for on his part but he had many chances to kill me he never did so he had that's why I thought afterward all this happened he had a bigger plan for me I thought he maybe he was gonna handcuff take me somewhere and do something now another document that Mark had written but wasn't shown at trial because it was deemed too inflammatory was called profile of a psychopath and it was about himself it's seven pages long you can read the entire thing if you want links in the description below let's just read some select passages for now I still like my wife to this day every day I get up and get dressed into business attire feed her a line about my appointments for the day and then leave the house for the day I set up shop in a coffee shop and work towards producing my film all day long then I come home lie about how it went and move on with our free time my whole life I've always just done whatever the hell I wanted without any consideration for anyone else and it's never bothered me I don't experience things like remorse or guilt even though my wife is by far the greatest woman I've ever known an excellent mother to our child and the greatest partner anyone could ask for I still cheat but only for the trill of it not because I feel neglected or entitled on my journey of discovering my disorder I've explored the killer instinct after all one does not research this topic without coming across the violent aspects I have often fantasized about killing people who have wronged me or trying to hurt me or my family in the future but that's where it ends actually carrying out such an act doesn't make sense to me I don't feel that taking someone else's life is worth the loss of my freedom or the amount of time energy and expense one has to put out in order to conduct such acts it is absolutely nothing to do with the respect for human life or the empathy for a would-be victim's family my reservation centers entirely around the fact it's an experience like smoking or doing drugs but I simply have never carried an interest in a hobby that attracts from the rest of my life well he changed his mind on that in May 2013 mark purchased a television set for his prison cell so he could catch up on all the episodes of Dexter he had missed now I've never seen it but apparently the ending of Dexter it's not great so that's some satisfaction and the fact that the show mark based his entire life rent as kind of a shitty ending and I suppose he does too locked away in prison for 25 years oh he's also on a dating site for inmates if you're interested I've made some terrible regrettable choices in my past and I've come to terms with consequences now I seek to infuse purpose into my life connection is a huge part of that my creative engine never slows so I produce artwork constantly and craft novels or screenplays to manifest my relentless imagination I'm insightful passionate and philosophical with a great sense of humor I enjoy tennis chess and clever storytelling I love the rain on the music of artists like SIA Jackie Evancho an Arcade Fire I'm looking for an interesting intelligent open-minded delightfully imperfect woman to relate to and share amusing observations with as well as potentially a long weekend every few months if it gets there naturally though if you ever go over to his place by yourself that's on you thank you so so much for watching I really really appreciated if you'd like to watch some more of my videos please work away and subscribe to see future ones I will see you as always real soon in the next video take care of yourselves my guess [Music] you
