appeared to be a human hand was opened by staff at fals Creek Elementary School after 1: p.m. today another package
containing What appeared to be human foot was found by staff at St George's school later this afternoon I can't link
it to anything right now um as we progress in the investigation we will provide as much information as we
Canal we have Lia with Montreal and we Lia with any other police agencies that we need to in the course of the
investigation this is a really traumatic or difficult um situation for absolutely
everybody um and that you know we're we're doing our best to try and uh make sure it's is uh that our students are
not um negatively impacted as as best as we can uh it's obviously a very tricky thing to do uh but we want to try and
try and really um hammer home a cal for for people to have a calm uh perspective
on this where possible and that uh take take um I think we're hoping that people
understand that we're doing our best in a very difficult situation I just wanted to uh break a little news
that I just handed from my colleagues at The Sun News Network in that The Vancouver Police have just uh indicated
that they're investigating finding two body parts I repeat two body parts sent to two schools in Vancouver it's just
breaking now and so I you know interesting you mentioned about the head earlier we don't know what they are but
there's Street pieces missing and there may be two have shown up Jane you said that to schools these body parts were
sent to schools yeah uh that's right um they were sent uh to two schools and they received them today Vancouver
Police on the west coast here in Canada uh have just uh they're investigating now it's breaking just seconds ago and
um it's uh so you know the the clues uh I don't know what they are Jane we'll have to find out but this puts it to
five and so it'll be interesting to see that your previous guest mentioned the head because uh you know it could be
there or maybe that is the trophy and uh that's the one piece that we don't know
where it is and it does remind us a lot of Jeffrey dmer there's no question about it particularly you know you deal
with this Asian victim uh which there was Jeffrey dber case and the fact there was just this Brazen right in the middle
of Milwaukee here right in the middle of Montreal and also Berlin very crazy stuff Jane it's very crazy it's very
disturbing well let's listen to the news conference that ended literally moments
ago out of Vancouver law enforcement describing two body parts that showed up at
schools The Vancouver Police are investigating two disturbing incidents in which human remains were discovered
in separate packages mailed to two local area schools this afternoon the first package containing What appeared to be a
human hand was opened by staff at fals Creek Elementary School after 1: p.m. today another package containing What
appeared to be human foot was found by staff at St George's school later this afternoon unbelievable Robin wilinsky
acre reporter The Blaze do you think this is the tip of the iceberg from your many years covering
[Music] grme Jane I I think there's going to be more I think he started with the animals
he didn't get high enough and then he moved on to humans I listened to that news conference live with you here and
what strikes me about it is is that from a CSI perspective this is a treasure those two boxes that were sent to the
school Jane they have the wrapping they have the tape they have possible fingerprints the material possibly in
plastic if he put the body parts in there they will take those two boxes and compare them to the one box that was
sent to the Canadian Prime Minister to Steven Harper's conservative party and then to the fourth box that was sent to
the liberal party they will look at all four of those boxes and compare and contrast the 29-year-old suspect we're
looking for is Roa Luca manota you get a picture of the suspect you get his name
also he's also known with the second name which is Eric Clinton Newman this is the 29y old suspect were looking for
uh involv in this 11th homicide on the Montreal auor this year um you get a picture of the suspect were looking for
him uh a warrant that been issue uh this is a coast to coast warrant we're looking for the suspect and if anyone
got information for us uh they will have to die 911 this is a priority for us we
really need to get a touch of that suspect as soon as possible we know that suspect and victim they know each other
so it's not a random attack they knew each other um the victim that we found uh the identity is not confirmed yet but
we know something for a fact this is a male uh a white male this is what we get uh we're waiting for confirmation of his
identity as you know part of the body was just this mental so for us it's hard to establish his identity we had all the
reasons to believe this is connected um although we don't have any 100% confirmation why that is because we do
need a DNA match to confirm that 100% we got all the reasons to believe this is the same body that have been said we're
still missing a few part of the puzzle uh in term of body parts and so yes this is a a special crime scene the crime was
horrible but suspect and uh victim they know each other I'm not going to tell you I'm happy to say you that but at
least it wasn't a random attack this is horrible no one deserved that but at least suspect and victim they know each
other so it wasn't a random attack and that I can confirm you as a [Music] fact [Music]
May 26 2012 Roger Renville a lawyer in Montana He is enjoying his day off from work he will spend part of his Saturday
surfing the internet Roger starts off by checking his email messaging some friends and then looking for a new funny
video posted Roger sees a bizarre internet video titled One Lunatic one ice pick he clicks on the video to view
it the video shows a man tied to a bed and then the camera shuts off when it continues the man on the Bed is Dead
then a man comes into frame and goes over to the lifeless body on the bed and begins stabbing the corpse repeatedly
with an ice pick over and over again then with a knife the suspect is going to dismantle the victim the following
day Roger can't get the video out of of his head a lot of stuff on the internet is fake but Roger couldn't help but
believe that the video was real it looked awfully real to him so Roger believes that he had seen a genuine
snuff film he alerted the US and the Canadian police and reported the internet video both Count's authorities
dismissed the video as a fake so we have this situation here Captain we have somebody that spotted a very gruesome
video and I didn't go into a ton of detail that's not our thing exactly well the thing here is Captain you know
people upload these shocking videos to different websites and then what what boggles my mind is that then people
record themselves watching those videos and and getting their reaction yeah called reaction videos the thing here is
I never saw this video thankfully never saw this video One Lunatic and one ice pick and even when we you know decided
to cover this case I know that it's been taken down from the the bestgore.com website where it was originally uploaded
to it was about a 10 or 11 minute video um I'm sure it's probably hidden somewhere in the dark corners or dark
attics and basements and crawl spaces of the internet you can still find it in the Deep Web yeah okay well I'm glad I
didn't go looking for it because I didn't want to see it uh the thing here is like I said it's 10 or 11 minutes not
seeing it myself trying to describe the video is tough for me to do but but the thing here is you know there were other
things in that video that that we didn't get to there there there were acts of necrofilia there was the dismemberment
there's also a portion of the video where where a dog is involved in in chewing on the body and what we were
talking about earlier is that it kind of seems like uh this video was staged I mean there's music playing we have new
order uh the song was true Faith this was a a release from 1987 yeah I've not seen the video but
but but the way it's been described to me Captain is it somebody didn't just willy-nilly set up a camera and decide
to record this like you said it appears to be staged it also appears to be planned out thought out like you said
putting together a soundtrack for the future video yeah so at this point in the timeline we have some people that we
have an audience for this video that have seen the video but we have no confirmation if this is actually real or
if this is just a false video on the morning of May 29th 2012 around 10:00 a.m. a janitor working at an apartment
building in the Snowden District of Montreal makes a Grizzly Discovery amongst bags of garbage and old
discarded Furniture he finds a suitcase and he decides to open it up inside the suitcase the janitor finds a human torso
the authorities are called upon arrival the janitor tells the police that he first saw the suitcase 4 days earlier M
but there was so much trash and he had so much to do that this was the first he could get around to collecting
everything police started searching the trash in the alleyway for remaining body
parts right and this is not going to be the only body part that we find that day
no because just about an hour later this is 200 kmet away at the national headquarters for the Conservative Party
of Canada Lo located in Ottawa M the office received their mail just like any other business day typically the office
would receive the usual stuff you know bills letters packages big and small on this day there was one particular
package that stood out from the rest this was not a particularly large package smaller than average size but
the box is labeled with a red heart symbol all right maybe we shouldn't opened that one well according to the
return address that package was mailed from a Renee Borday the office assistant in charge of receiving receiving and
distributing the mail started to open the box inside she could see something wrapped up but what was more alarming
was that the the package it it stunk uh there was an extremely foul odor coming from this package she noticed what she
thought to be blood stains on the bottom of the Box the assistant stopped what she was doing she was too Disturbed and
upset to open the package any further she took the small box to her boss her boss opened up the box inside there were
uh pieces of bright pink tissue paper stuffed inside the box to protect the contents from being damaged the contents
well there was something soft and mushy wrapped in a black garbage bag um she asked the assistant to bring her a pair
of scissors and as she cut open the bag she noted that strong rotting smell just
kind of blowing out at her there from she she she now knew for certain that there was something very not right about
this situation right but that's when you stop you call the police you have them open it you shouldn't opened packages
like that and you're you are exactly right Captain that's exactly what she did they called the Ottawa Police they
came quickly um and it would be their job to finish opening up this package inside the officers found a severed left
foot and they found a note and the note read Steven Harper and Loren tesy will know who this is oh and I kind of forgot
this was in here Captain so I I do apologize in advance but I'm just reading somebody else's words the note
from what I could find read stepen Harper and Lauren tesy will know who this is they [ __ ] up big
time um like I said I believe there's more to that note uh but the people that are named here who was Steven Harper and
Lauren tesky well I I got to I got to throw in my ignorance here I didn't know who these people were uh Steven Harper
at the time was the Prime Minister and Lauren is his wife so it appears to me that this might be some kind of tease or
taunting you know when you throw in a big name like the prime minister right into into an awful package like this we
clearly have a victim but but the mention of Harper and tesky likely think well but I'm saying the the mention of
these two people these important people likely has no bearing on the case or its
investigation these crime packages being delivered won't stop there for that day
right so we have the horrible package that was received at the headquarters for the conservative party the police
the investigators have a full-blown you know what one would assume will easily turn into a homicide case they are on
high alert they are going to go to the Canada Post post that's the country's primary postal operator uh there they
find a similar package this one is addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada and again it is from Renee bordet does
it have a heart shape on the box I you know I was looking for that I I found in one article that it said that there was
a heart-shaped Bo heart-shaped symbol on this second package but most of the Articles never mention that so I don't
know if they just got confir it I don't know yeah I don't know if they just confused the two packages or if it in
fact had the same thing but the the important thing here is you'll see the same name on the return address that
that Renee Borday inside the um investigators uncovered more gruesome findings this is a severed left hand
again along with a note and this note said you need to speak to Lauren tesy and her family lots to hide all right so
that's the prime minister's wife but we actually don't think that she's involved
or he's involved in this crime at all or would even know anything about possibly
the victim or the perpetrator of whoever is mailing these these horrible packages
but one could assume maybe that this is some kind of political act you know like
uh I murdered uh for the reasons of some political action mhm yeah that somebody
that wants to speak out or speak up for something uh the investig ators are able
to trace the origin of these two packages to a post office near Montreal now there they are sifting
through the surveillance footage MH police find who they believe is the man that they will be looking for they have
video of a Young Man the video shows a Caucasian male possibly in his late 20s or early 30s dropping off several
packages matching the two packages that were previously found but but now they have to put a name to
this face the the face of the man mailing the body parts well big mistake right away from you have identifiers on
the box that you're mailing that's a big mistake well the name Renee Borday is going to have no ties to the person
mailing out these packages mhm meanwhile back at the apartment building remember
the janitor found the Torso there after searching through the trash police list their findings as such the Torso was
found in the suitcase but they also found bloody clothing they found several sharp blunt objects and papers which
they believe might identify a possible suspect and just like the police did at the post office they're going to want to
look at this surveillance footage of the apartment complex very closely on it they see who they believe to be their
suspect a 29-year-old Man by the name of Luca uh the footage from the surveillance
camera showed Luca bringing NuMe numerous garbage bags outside police learned that MCN had lived in the
apartment building at 5720 Deary Boulevard in apartment 208 and all the surveillance footage that
we're talking about of the apartment scenes of him throwing away the trash and stuff like that M you can see online
if you are interested in looking at that the apartment 208 apartment is Loc Lo ated on the building's second floor
around 11:30 p.m. the police go to the apartment letting themselves in and they find an apartment that is covered in
blood the apartment quickly becomes the central focus in the investigation M inside they find pink bed sheets soaked
in blood a purple blood streak shower curtain and they find more blood in the refrigerator on the table and lots in
the bath tub um I had read one report that said that when they picked up the mattress because they they believed
because of the amount of blood that they found over on the mattress that the The
Killing had started there right that when they lifted up the mattress itself there was so much blood absorbed by that
mattress that it had soaked through to the bottom so pretty quickly law enforcement they have the apartment they
have the location they have now receiving these packages with severed limbs from a victim we don't have the
identity of the victim yet and we also have surveillance footage of what we possibly believe is the suspect we also
believe that he lived in this apartment so now we're getting some identity here mhm and what else do they find in the
apartment as evidence well for the most part the apartment itself it looked like
it had been emptied out like somebody was in the process of moving out of the apartment um but they also find a
cryptic message left on the wall somebody had wrote If you don't like the reflection don't look in the mirror I
don't care uh it was obvious to investigators that this Luca MCN who had lived at the apartment had left the
apartment and most likely left the area them believing that he is their suspect at the same time police are discovering
additional footage from the building surveillance system this is of Luca with a man of about the same age uh and he
looks like like the likely victim here now we've seen this video Captain right they're walking into the apartment
building together and it almost looks yeah it looks like they're walking in and and Luca has some things in his hand
I don't know if it's you know take out carry out something like that but he's he's fumbling trying to get the keys in
the door he's got to unlock the door and the there's really kind of a a sad interaction that you see in that video
because because you know we know the outcome of this situation but even viewing that video for the first time
you're seeing what what appears to be the suspect and the victim and where Luca he he looks like he's even wearing
a wig to me he holds the door open for his victim for the for the guy that he's going to kill here shortly he holds the
door for him in like a a sweet Manner and then the victim steps inside and and stands there turns and waits for Luca to
come into the hallway with him if you didn't know the outcome of this situation you would think that you were
looking at two friends walking together into a building yeah or or possibly um romantically involved yeah you know so
yeah I don't know it's it's those things are just as hard you know as far as the gruesome videos those
are you know something I don't you know seek out to watch uh but even these surveillance films especially when once
you know that this this guy is going to end up being a victim those are almost to me as as hard to watch mhm well with
all of this this uh surveillance footage that the police have collected they agree that the footage from the
apartment it looks a lot like the same guy that they have from the footage from the post office mailing the packages so
now that's that's basically their confirmation we've seen both it it looks identical and then you found the Torso
at the apartment we we know what's going on here at one point in the surveillance
video you know like we talked about you know that we have the suspect and we have the victim walking in together the
victim's actually wearing like a yellow t-shirt of some kind and then when Luca comes back out and he's you know taking
out the trash and stuff he's wearing the victim's shirt yeah certain parts of that surveillance footage video really
really bothered me and really tug at the old heartstrings there there's a lot more to get to two about this case right

big shout out to Amber hook yeah we got a message from your brother Todd on Instagram so cheers to everybody out
there this brings us to May 30th 2012 this is just the day after those two packages are received and then the Torso
is found in the suitcase at the apartment complex we have an international Manhunt that is underway
this is this is after Montreal police named Luca magnata as their suspect effect and accused him of killing a man
and mailing the body parts to various locations well I'm looking into Old puka uh he's he travels the world you know
he's been known to travel to different locations so this makes it you know we have our suspect but now we have a guy
that is a known traveler to even other countries so we got to catch this individual before this happens again
police identify Luca Roco magnata age 29 as the suspect he is also known by the names Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir
Romanov uh there are profiles circulating online describing him as a male model and a bisexual porn actor now
when I say that there are profiles circulating there are a lot of profiles circulating and furthermore there are
many many photos of him online and some of the photos aren't actually real they're photoshopped he he kind of
creates his own image he's even known to you know somebody be in Miami and he finds somebody that kind of looks like
him and he photoshops his head onto them so it makes it look like he's traveling
to Miami yeah and you'll see a lot of photos that look like he's posing for maybe a magazine uh or you'll see
pictures of him in fancy sports cars or in front of expensive properties um and like like the captain said we don't know
how many of these photos are photoshopped um where right but some are some of them are so clear that you know
so clearly photoshopped that you know they're pretty ridiculous um he's just a very odd guy well and the thing that you
learn there is that he's he's almost creating a personality he's creating a lifestyle for you to see of him someone
that's traveling the world he he's riding around an expensive cars going to expensive places creating a Persona
online for all of us to view and admire well and on top of that he's creating fictitious profiles so then therefore
those fictitious profiles could interact with the real profiles so what he' do he
he'd post a picture of something and then he' go onto his fake profiles and like you know the picture or comment on
the picture and he would like make up ridiculous claims like ah Luca is a big huge celebrity here in Canada he is you
know he is God in Canada M well every morning Captain when I wake up and I'm eating my lucky charm cereal the first
thing I do is I go onto the Facebook page for True Crime garage and I like us you mean I wake up and after I eat my
Lucky Charms I I take off my diapers and my mommy powder my butt uh okay yeah just for stop liking us I can see it
just for that tomorrow I'm going to like me and dislike you the on the following
day May 31st 2012 the Montreal police they tell the global news that they have information suggesting MCN had left the
country and they're pretty sure he's in Europe somewhere now media reports suggest that he may have traveled to
France but at this time I mean still really anywhere is a possibility in my opinion he he could be anywhere he he
could still be in Canada or maybe even Russia you know we see from his online profiles his online Persona that he
talks about having Russian ties that he might the ties are to the Russian mafia not only says that but he also says that
he is Russian you know or that he's of Russian and Italian descent so really he could be anywhere now on June 1st the
Montreal police identify the victim in Montreal's Grizzly murder and dis mment case as missing Concordia University
student Jun Lynn yeah now some people will say that his name is Jun Lin and sometimes you'll say hear Lyn June Lynn
was a 33-year-old student from China he was actually reported missing on May 30th this is just one day after a
janitor in Montreal found the Torso of the man locked in a suitcase police are now saying it is possible that Jun Lynn
the victim in magnata had some sort of relationship well the thing here is Captain with with Mr Lynn he his his
family suspected something was going on before he was actually reported missing his his boss reported that he had not
shown up for work on a particular day and this was very unlike him we also have his friends they say that they
hadn't seen him in days so they reach out to his family and this is where he's officially reported as missing now how
does he come in contact with uh old PCA well the thing here is at first the police state that they had they believed
that the two might have had some kind of relationship um and I think maybe part of that is from what they could witness
from that apartment from the apartment surveillance footage like I said it was almost like two friends walking in
together or like you said maybe somebody in a relationship together walking in together uh but the situation was not
that the situation was that he had responded to some kind of ad that Luca MCN had placed looking for uh
companionship yeah it's not that simple the ad was more wasn't it to make a video he was looking for somebody to
join him in making a video and I believe it was like a sexual video well either way we have the student Lynn responding
to an ad um there apparently there was no long-term relationship as far as I could find Jun Lyn had not even been in
Canada for that long or in the area for that long for there to be a long-term relationship and at this point law
enforcement is not releasing all the information on the notes that they found with the body parts they're also not
releasing a lot of the information or like some of the writings and stuff that they found in um magna's apartment and
the reason for this and why the public is calling it into question so much is because I apologize but but there's no
nice way of saying this there are still pieces of the victim missing at this point in the investigation You Know Not
only was Luca magn seen mailing several packages but it was also communicated somewhere in those notes that six body
parts had been distributed and Luca was claiming that the perpetrator of this crime would most certainly kill again so
we have a threat with him being on the run and we also have um you know evidence and portions of the victim that
still need to be found we do have a threat on certain people receiving these body parts I mean like we said before
some of the body parts were sent to school and luckily those were intercepted and you know no kid opened
up those uh packages it's around this time in the investigation captain that the police now believe that the video
published on May 25th titled One Lunatic one ice pick uh again that this is a video depicting the murder of jun Lynn
committed on camera by Luca magnata and there was actually a lot of reaction videos posted on this again a lot of
people not knowing that if if was real or it was hoax uh you can actually find the footage of that of the reaction
videos uh I think playing any of that material would be out of distaste they suspected him so much that at this point
with interpole uh in the search for Luca mnat they were listing what charg Luca would face if apprehended and these
charges included first-degree murder committing an indignity to a dead body publishing obscene material mailing
obscene IND indecent and immoral material well and not only that but also threatening criminally uh the the Prime
Minister Steven Harper yeah along with several members of parliament now interpool issued a red notice uh for
Luca magnata what's a red notice I don't I don't but I'm guessing that that's a pretty I I'm guessing the red notice is
like the highest alert notice okay you know find this guy pretty pretty please find this guy with the cherry on top uh
this is at the request of the Canadian authorities magnata is he is to be tracked down apprehended and he's going
to be extradited back to Canada if they can find this guy now the international police are learning quite a bit about
MC's movements after the murder they learned that MCN had booked a roundtrip flight from Montreal to France using a
passport with his name on it on May 25th this is just 4 days before they discovered the remains now magnata would
be a noow of course for the return flight after arriving in France mcnada used a different passport to check into
a hotel the passport name was Kirk traml uh after the manh hunt for MCN got underway authorities were able to trace
his cell phone you know mnat even even even though he's on the Run he's still using his phone you know many times on
the show we've talked about my theory that some serial killers are addicted to hunting or addicted to killing people
and of course magnata he's a different breed of monster to me he is someone that is addicted to his phone and
addicted to checking the internet so much so that he can't stop himself from logging on well and I think some of it
too was he's trying to figure out what uh law enforcement knew about the murders and did they have him as a
suspect M yeah so they they trace his phone to the hotel but unfortunately magnata had left before they could track
him down so they they go to this hotel looking for Luca they get there he's no longer there but they are on his Trail
now and on June 4th Luca MCN is apprehended by Berlin Police at an internet cafe yeah and what is old
self-obsessed [ __ ] stain puka doing he's in the internet cafe Googling himself
you know and I heard if you Google yourself too much you go blind but so he's sitting there looking up uh I think
not only stuff about the case that's happening you know he's searching himself on Google Images yeah and and
like you said earlier he's reading news stories about himself as well well looking up pictures of himself now when
he's first approached by the Berlin Police he you know he says no you got the wrong guy he gives a fake name he
tries this several times and finally he ends up saying you know he ends up admitting who he is and later
fingerprints would confirm this um and he essentially leaves his without incident you know he he gets apprehended
and he leaves without incident now on June 5th that same year a package containing a
right foot was delivered to the St George's School uh another package containing a right hand was delivered to
false Creek Elementary School in Vancouver uh both schools opened as normal the following morning uh it was
confirmed that both packages were sent from Montreal and like the captain said these things these things were sent to
schools and and luckily children didn't and end up finding them or or seeing them right and then what they're looking
for now is they're they want to know you know we got LCA and custody they're talking with him they they're trying to
figure out where Jun Lyn's head is MH and that's because they want to give him a a proper burial yeah his family would
like to return him to China now the other thing that we have to be concerned with here is that are all of these
packages belonging to the the same victim and it wasn't until June 13 that the four limbs in the Torso were matched
to the victim Jun Lyn using DNA samples from his family and it wasn't until July
1st that the head was recovered at the edge of a small Lake in a Montreal Park after police received an anonymous tip a
lot of people suspect that that tip came from Luca himself but I haven't been able to confirm that myself it's quite
possible you you know they they do their investigations a little bit differently
than we do they up in Canada they handle their news a little more discretly when
it comes to these types of situations I'm just going over my notes Here captain and I wanted to talk about Jun
Lynn real quick here our our victim and I misspoke earlier I have in my notes that he arrived in Canada in July of
2011 so he would have been there long enough for some potential uh long-term relationship but that was not the case
he did not have a long-term relationship with Luca magnata as we said you know he
was he was from China he was going to go to college he was seeking a degree in computer science um from the Concordia
University I'm not certain but I I believe that I read that you know this was like a uh he was going to be one of
the first you know he was certainly the first in his family to travel abroad and
go to college this was kind of not just his dream but also the family dream and you know one one piece of footage that I
saw re you know that really kind of really kind of affected me was you know when we talk about these victims they're
kind of we only get a screenshot you know just a very brief glimpse into their life because unfortunately and and
I hate that it's this way but unfortunately the victims end up being the smaller part of the story which is
which is terrible because that's the worst part of the story that's the part that lasts forever the hurt that lasts
forever now the thing with with Mr Lynn here Not only was he young and outgoing but there was a a video that I saw of
him he's singing karaoke and you just get this vibe that this is this is a a really good guy an
outgoing person that's full of life and full of excitement uh you know and I saw
some of his other posts where they were um text messages and and pictures that he was sending back to his family and a
lot of it was nature or Ed and a lot of it was very um positive stuff you know look how beautiful it is out today
things like that so truly a good person that that that came across just a monster and and we've lost him because
of that yeah very uh tragic story yeah on June 18th Luca magnata was flown aboard a Royal Canadian Air Force plane
back to Canada uh they deemed that there were too many safety concerns to use uh
commercial flight back to to transport him back to Canada now soon after he arrives in Canada his trial is going to
begin well before the trial happens they're going to be looking into Old PCA notada and as they're looking into this
visual they're going to realize this guy's a sicko right and be long before the body parts long before the murder
long before the the vide tape being posted he he was doing some stuff that should have had them on the radar if you
know to me he should have already been locked up and put behind bars are you going to call him PCA the whole time you
got me laughing the first time I'll call him whatever the hell I want to call him
um it doesn't bother me one bit captain no I agree with you there were things going on and there were red flags going
up that this whole tragedy might have been may have never have happened had they picked him up for some of these
other crimes so once they start diving into this we're want to ask who is Luca [Music]
mcnada hi my name is LC Luca magot is my last name m a g n o TTA hi LCA how are you today good how
are you to cover so right the away you know this is underwear comp I'm going ask you to this Ro
right away all right definitely John how come when his voice was lower yours lower I have a very deep voice a lot of
people tell me that actually so how do you get your voice so deep how do I get my voice so deep
practice makes perfect right you got kind of a r f Vibe going on a lot of people tell me that like
they remind me of like 54 that the movie you know yeah he happens to be one of my
favorites too yeah I think you look good I think that that your body is a little
bit slim I used to be really overweight to be honest uh I used to be really overweight and I lost like weight really
how did you do that I just like got every morning at like 4:00 and like ran constantly and people would tell me oh
stop running stop running and I just kept doing it basically what's your idea of overweight oh God I was I was I was a
lot of overweight actually so like you know CU your hair color is that natural uh no actually I just got to highlight
it to change things up a bit yeah all right little biten I know that when you go swimming a lot I noticed the blondes
tend to go in corated water a little bit on the greeny yellow side yeah that's what happened to me yeah for sure a
little bit healthier yeah definitely dry that happens sometimes right you know I
think I think he looks good I think he has a chest I'm going to give him a yes thank
you I think this found you got be a little bit built up you know like I think I have no problem gaining weight
like I can gain weight if I need to gain weight I'm actually thinking more muscle
definition I think I think you do have a very nice Le that could happen really quickly I can gain weight really quickly
I'm going to say potentially I think you do have potential but I'm going to ask you to come back
next all right um Luka I'm I'm surprised to see how you love cuz I think you look better in person in front
of me than you look in your moding portfolio I think your photos are Overexposed and
blown out your bone structure and I think you have some interesting bone structure um I think those photos look
good I I do I think that they look very good I think they look that's what attracted to I think he looks better in
the photo a lot of people tell me I'm really devastating legal looking so that I me a picture like that is kind of a
yeah but I think the problem is that what is good for covered eye isn't always what you're attracted to in your
personal life and know that he's very well everyone has their personal point of view like who who they like and who
they don't like basically I just don't think he's Bey enough forover I don't think you have the muscul yet I can I
definitely can gain weight I know you say can gain weight but you you don't think I can how much weight can you gain
in two weeks I can gain muscle everybody can do it you know I can gain muscle I can work out I'm very determined and
every goal that I put my uh mind to I surpass all right so we uh we learn what Luca is
I mean Luca is determined and whatever he puts his mind to he accomplishes he also comes off as somebody that's
willing to be whatever you want him to be M to fit in I mean there he is trying out for I believe that's his try out for
a thing called cover guy right um now he had done several of these tryouts he's ultimately turned down for this this TV
show or for the cover of a magazine whatever this cover guy thing is but uh you hear him you know any any thing that
they point out that they might be looking for that's different he's willing to fit the mold he's willing to
adapt himself physically and mentally to whatever they need which is definitely I
mean you know part of you feels for him you know part of you is you know saded that there's an individual out there
that is willing just be like hey whatever you want me to be I'll be yeah but he was doing this well before his
tryouts you know and this is what we talked about with his Persona online that he's creating of himself well he
definitely has some you know self-loathing he definitely has some kind of you know body
dysmorphia uh he he has a lot of mental issues going on here and we also learned
that not only is he constantly changing his appearance with the use of makeup or
dying his hair changing his clothing um you know he he's always creating he's always changing and adapting but we also
learned that he's had some cosmetic surgeries done as well and we realize this because he does an interview he's
trying to become a contestant on a show and if you win the show you get cosmetic
surgery so let's go to this little clip of uh Luca magnata talking about his plastic surgery and and his viewpoints
on [Music] that all right my name is Luca magn and I'm 25 and what do you do for a living I'm a
model okay do you want to talk about the other stuff that you do yeah definitely
is that okay with yeah that's all totally fine basically um I do a lot of uh adult modeling and um I do adult
films as well and I'm pretty comfortable in front of the camera so I'm doing it for a while and it's been working pretty
good for me so and you do it full time it's I do it's full-time whether it's doing the films or doing magazines or
Internet uh shows what have you um it's all very consistent so it's been really good for
me it's great how long you been doing it on and off for about 2 years now you know I travel then I come back to
Toronto and do it I go to Montreal and do it go to La so whenever right yeah wh the paychecks come from definitely so
what is the surgery you're thinking about having done or the procedure um well it's going to be a the back of my
uh uh head I've uh had three done sorry two done already can you tell me what it
is you're having done it's a hair transplant and basically so me just go on the bed I'll yeah tell me a little
bit about the procedure yeah okay so basically uh back of my head here is going to be uh Frozen I'm awake through
the entire procedure and there's like no uh uh what do you call that anesthetic there's no like you don't get put under
your sleep right so basically uh they cut open the back of my head and they take a strip flesh off and they they cut
it off and they take it uh to the side and nurses work on it for a few hours by taking each uh individual hair out uh of
the graph and then they sew the back of my head up and that takes about an hour uh so they pull the skin down or yeah
they pull it they pull it down and tighten it and sew it back up then while the nurses are working on taking the
hairs out uh the doctor puts me back and he tries to decide where exactly all of
them are going to be needing to be placed so it looks very natural okay and uh as you can tell here in the front of
my head I'll the hair is grown in pretty nice cuz I used to be receding so it's it's grown in and um so basically they
take all the individual hairs and one by one they put it transplant it into my scalp and um wherever they feel it needs
to be yeah definitely so it's all filled in and there's no I guess basically uh at the back of my head here it's I cover
it well with my hair but uh it's uh it's going not bald but I don't have denial here you know what I mean I guess you
can say it is kind of going bald then but I I just every time I look in the mirror it seems to be getting worse I
want to like completely yeah eliminate it and stuff stop it you know before obviously because I can have my hair
looking uh like I'm 50 years old when I'm 25 right so I want it to look pretty good yeah and um I've had cosmetic
surgeries done in the past so I'm pretty used to them and what have you had done
in the past I had my eyes done here cuz I used to have dark circles underneath my eyes and was completely making me
look like I was tired all the time um I've had my nose done I've had uh two hair transplants like I said before and
I'm planning on doing muscle implants in my pecs and my arms so that just remains
to be seen by because that's pretty you think you're a bit of an addict yeah my name is Luca and I'm a
cosmetic surgery addict but yeah I I would say to be out to be blatantly honest I I think that I I am because
just the profession that that I'm in it makes me more aware of my looks because I'm constantly seeing other people you
know that are trly goodl looking how they look and I'm comparing myself so I need to um step up my game basically and
that's why I'm having all these procedures done do you feel it's more a modeling thing or more of an adult
entertainment thing you feel the pressure I would say it has to be both because both Industries are so
competitive uh that they they they both need you to look your best all the time and there's just a lot of stress and a
lot of anxiety uh in both Industries you know so I have to say B both definitely there's pressure to look
good there is so much pressure look cuz you're you're on set with these other people and you know you see how they
look and then after you all your little flaws start coming out you're like oh well you know this person looks that way
and they have this sort of body this sort of face and hair and now I compare myself this person so he has like Fuller
hair so now I want Fuller hair he has a better nose so I want a better nose and this person's face doesn't have those so
why should I have it if I can just pay for it to have uh taken away and corrected why not I don't see any
problem with it you look like you're I mean you're a handsome guy I can't imagine you weren't that handsome before
you know what a lot of people tell me that they say you know what oh you don't need it
you don't need it but before I was uh I was good-look but it was starting to fade and I was starting to get very
self-conscious with that and I I couldn't I could not deal with having my looks go you knowz before it was
receding like I was saying and my nose was a bit different and my you know now I just take very good care of myself by
going to the gym all the time working out you know eating properly so I don't want to it would kind of defeat the
purpose if I was doing all that exercise and then you know looking kind of ugly like when
I'm in the when seriously when I'm in the uh the chair and they're doing like s my hair or something or they can say
oh well we better it really gets to me because they say to me we better cut it uh a bit longer at the back because we
can see that's starting to and I'm like don't even tell me that do not even tell
me that it's starting to get uh thin at the back I don't want to hear I'm in denial like I said about it so I'm like
okay I've been hearing it so much lately and the other act like the actress who I
work with they're like um yeah it's kind of they like pointed out I'm like you know what that is not nice okay I don't
want to hear it so but they do tell me it and you know I guess uh I have to hear it because you know just reality so
how how important are your looks to you oh my God if that's number one okay number one is looks number two would
have to be intelligent and I don't know what the rest are all I do all I care about is number one basically all I do
is care about how I look um by getting clothes basically cuz you know what when you're going out the parties when you're
going to events when you're going traveling everywhere you don't you have to constantly wear something new all the
time you know you can't keep you know it's very it's very it's a very strange industry but a lot of people can
understand unless you're in it you know so do you think um I enjoy it though yeah have you always been obsessed with
your looks like I mean I have like seriously people say to me all the time even when I was a teenager they're like
oh you're completely vain all you do is like stare in the mirror you walk by a mirror all you do is like glance and and
look at it you know when you're in a restaurant you just like take like a your spoon just like do a little like
look in it and you know try to like check and see if you're okay and a lot of my friends and family have been
saying you know what you're obsessed with it you're just so obsessed with how how you look and so obsessed with your
cosmetic surgeries that we don't understand this you know we don't don't understand you're becoming somebody
completely different and then going into an an industry where it's all about your
looks it is you know so when you go from you know when you're in high school or something your looks you know they're
they're informed and not like everything then you just go into an industry like people on their day-to-day jobs like who
not even in this industry they really don't have to look their best look presentable they don't have to like look
perfect but when you're doing this and you're in front of the camera basically it's a whole different story you know
what I mean people judge you so much and it's it's not really nice but you know it's the way things are if you don't
look you don't look this way you can't get that job you can't get do this have you ever heard of uh body dysmorphic
disorder have you heard of that term I've heard of it uh briefly I know that it's people who look
good and they think that they look completely hideous so I I I don't have too much knowledge to the whole thing so
you think I mean you don't think you look hideous you think you look good you just want to look even better I think
that I used to look hideous and after that after when I got all of my procedures done I'm starting to look
better and better but I still feel as though I can look even more uh handsome you know if I I finish my
journey into getting the surgeries done yeah you know what I mean do you um do you think it'll help you like in the
adult entertainment industry do you think this is going to get you more work or make you more money I have to say
that um it would get me a lot more work if I do get the uh hair transplant done because I noticed a difference when I
didn't have it as opposed to now because before it was as though um I noticed that the jobs were going more and more
to the other people and after I got the procedures done I noticed that I was the
one who was getting more and more of the work so now I'm like okay what happens if I get um more and more work done then
that means I'm going to get more and more work obviously and I think that once I get the whoops once I get the
implants and pack implants and stuff because a lot of the guys I noticed I work out like a nut so other guys who
are getting uh the jobs are like getting bigger bodies so I'm like you know what
I'm just going to follow whatever they do because they're getting bigger bodies and Better Bodies so that's going to
make me more money I have to do that and they're getting more job so I wonder why
so I look at what they're doing and it just makes logical sense to me that I would do it too yeah so do you think
that having the surgery is going to make a big change in your life it's going to
make a drastically uh different change in my life and it's just going to give me more
self-esteem and like make me feel amazing about myself CU it's very important for people to have high
self-esteem and to feel good about themselves and if going under the knife can help somebody achieve that then I
think that it's a great thing yeah you know um people just kind of people look at it as like a magical new experience
but just it's not really that um different it's not really that bad you know when you go under your you
know even though I'm awake you know I can still feel them cutting open my head but it's not like you feel the pain you
know what I mean but you just have to stay there for like hours and hours and feel them cutting open your head and
putting it in and you can actually feel like the blood dripping down the back of
your neck and and it's kind of graphic me like gross everybody out here but it's like seriously graphic um what do
you see when you look in the mirror now like what oh god when I look in the mirror now I just saw the little flaws
just come out and I'm just like you know what I can notice that I can just if I just I want to fix that I want to fix
this and what other what other things I mean other than like there other stuff that you're looking to fix other than
your hair and your packs sound really weird but I've seen this other guy on a cosmetic surgery show and he had on his
forehead he had like two little bumps in his skull and they protrude out of his forehead like
just's two bumps here in my head um cuz my bone sticks a little bit on my forehead like just two little bumps yeah
and he had his grinded down but he couldn't do it all the way cuz if he did his forehead would collapse he they had
to stop but cuz he thought it looked like devil horns and I noticed when I look in the mirror that I have the same
thing too like one here one here so I want I want to takeen off my forehead and I'm look there I'm like damn it's
getting bigger and bigger on my forehead so I just I want that done and I like is
do you see an end to the Cosmetic Surgery like will you ever be perfect in your own eyes you know what I just I
don't think I I I know that there's so much things I'm going to do and I don't care whether or not I have to work every
single day every hour I will do it and get all my Cosmic surgeries done maybe there might not be an end Maybe will be
an end but I just know that I'm just going to keep doing it until I'm personally T even if anybody else says
to me oh uh you know what luuka you look really good I don't believe them I just
think they're saying that all right that's kind of an interesting look into the way Luca's
Luca magna's brain works and how he views himself that is from an audition for from a show called plastic makes
perfect which took place in 2008 now we still got a lot to get to as far as Luca
