00:00Mark and I bought a house together before we were married and it needed a lot of work. So we
00:13completely tore out the walls right down to the studs and rebuilt the whole inside. And he did
00:19most of the work himself.
00:34The basement had a family room where the kids would watch movies. The basement had
00:40their toys. That was their toy room for a while.
00:49One day he brought home bags and bags of shredded paper and he filled a room in
00:55the basement with shredded paper for the kids just to play in.
01:06The basement was where I did the laundry and just normal things like that. So I can't imagine anything else happening down in there.
01:19So
01:231
01:23So
01:25We're
01:27what?
01:28I'm sorry, what's that?
01:56I'm trying to escape from some guy who had me shamed up in his basement.
02:02He had you shamed in his basement?
02:03Where are you calling from?
02:05Help me.
02:07Help me.
02:09Help me.
02:13I believe I saved someone's life.
02:16It's honestly the truth that I saved someone's life that day.
02:19And something I'll never forget as long as I live.
02:26It was Thanksgiving, we were getting ready to celebrate and heading into the holidays.
02:35I was playing some video, sitting on a couch, getting a little relaxation in, and all of a sudden I hear pounding on my door.
02:44I get up off of my couch and I look and I have a gentleman standing at my door screaming for help.
02:49The first thing that came through my mind was like a hunting accident or a car accident because, you know, it's a fairly busy road out there.
02:58As I'm heading towards the door, I'm noticing the outfit that the gentleman is wearing.
03:04He's got a leather kilt and he's got a coat over top of what I believe it looked like a bare chest.
03:11And I noticed liquid running down the side of his face.
03:15And I started dripping on the patio and I realized it's blood.
03:20Just the terror, the fear from this kid was just overwhelming.
03:26It just washed over you like a chill.
03:30It made your hair stand up in your skin.
03:32You could tell this.
03:33He was feared for his life.
03:35And I've never experienced that.
03:40And a truck comes pulling into my driveway.
03:48And a gentleman gets out and he's got braids in his hair, long blondish type hair and a braided long beard.
03:57Well, the gentleman who's standing beside me death grips me even harder and tries to get as far away from him as possible and says,
04:07help me, help me, keep him away from me.
04:08He's trying to kill me.
04:10And I'm like, OK, you need to get off of my property right now.
04:13You need to leave.
04:14The police are on their way.
04:15He calmly got into his truck and left.
04:17And the minute he pulls out of my driveway, there's three state police officers pulling into my driveway.
04:22In the November incident, the Michigan State Police were dispatched to Tyrell Road in Morris.
04:29A man had escaped a basement.
04:32The man indicated to the police that he had gone to this individual's house willingly,
04:38that he had wanted to engage in some sort of encounter with him.
04:42And then he was later woken up by something and discovered that he had been chained to the wall.
04:50As the man spoke to police, at first he presented it as, you know, he was abducted, kidnapped.
04:59As it went on, he started to kind of change his tune a little bit to police and said that, oh, maybe I misunderstood.
05:07Maybe this was part of a role play scenario.
05:09I'm asking you a straight up question, my man.
05:13Are you looking to press charges for what happened today?
05:16No.
05:17So what are you looking to have done out of this today?
05:20I'm going to go home.
05:22The man indicates that he has fled a house down the road and points to the house.
05:28They knocked on his door, and when he opened the door, he was in a kilt.
05:46He had on a leather harness, and on the leather harness were metal rings that displayed different portions of his abdomen.
05:55Why don't you come on out?
05:56Oh, sure.
05:57We're going to help you with that.
05:59Well, I think you probably know why we're here, right?
06:02Well, yeah.
06:03The goofy guy that I'm having sex with decided to take off with my kilt.
06:07Okay.
06:08The man said it was a consensual sexual encounter and that he just wanted his kilt back and was happy to give the police the man's clothing.
06:17And so the police were kind of handicapped. They couldn't do anything about it.
06:21I had no idea who he was or anything until it all came out and it was exposed, and then that's when all the information just spilled on you.
06:32It's wild. It's something that's hard to imagine, something that's hard to just fabricate.
06:38True life is sometimes worse than your imagination.
07:02On Christmas Day 2019, the Bagan family had agreed to have brunch all together.
07:19Mom, Dad, Kevin, and his sister, and Kevin hadn't shown up.
07:25But Kevin hadn't shown up.
07:29The actual day Kevin went missing, I was just at home and I had hopped on Facebook.
07:37Kevin's roommate posted a video of him kind of leaving the house and she just asked if
07:43anybody had heard from Kevin, if anybody had seen him.
07:47She was just a little concerned because his phone was off, his location was off and they
07:51couldn't get a hold of him at all.
07:56I knew Christmas and his family were kind of like a big deal because we had talked about
07:59it, you know, the months leading up to it.
08:03So I even shot him a little message and I was like, hey, you know, like, just let me know
08:07if you're good.
08:09But I didn't get any response back.
08:12So I was at work when I first heard he was missing.
08:15My friend had came up to me and she said, well, you know, his friend made a post saying that
08:19no one's heard or seen from him.
08:22I immediately got on Facebook and I tried to call him.
08:26I tried to text him, you know, no answer.
08:31He always had his phone on him.
08:33So it was very alarming that he wasn't answering his phone and his phone was off and no one could
08:38get a hold of him.
08:52Kevin Bacon was born in 1994.
08:55He went to high school at Swartz Creek High School.
08:58And then he went on to get a beautician license and he got into doing hair.
09:03Kevin was big, he was tall, he was very bubbly.
09:10Kevin was definitely someone that you would notice if they were entering the room because
09:15he would make sure.
09:16And his name is Kevin Bacon, so he was very big on the, oh my goodness, you know, everybody
09:20knows who I am because my name is Kevin Bacon.
09:23Everyone loved Kevin.
09:24He would always have Taylor Swift playing on his computer.
09:27So everyone would always try to like just on their breaks, we'd stop over and just jam out.
09:33He was just very funny.
09:34He was caring.
09:35He always asked how your day was or how are you doing.
09:38He always wanted to make sure that everyone else, even though he was probably not having
09:41the best day, that everyone else knew, you know, like it's okay, don't worry about it.
09:48Kevin was an openly gay man and he was living in central Michigan.
09:53Swartz Creek is a smaller town to begin with and people just aren't as outgoing and don't
09:59expose that side of themselves as much.
10:02Kevin would be a lot more, I would say conservative if he was like around town and things like
10:09that.
10:10He wouldn't be as open with his makeup and his hair and his clothes just because there
10:14was a lot of judgment around that time on openly gay men.
10:23After Kevin Bacon didn't show up for Christmas morning breakfast, the family eventually went
10:32out and started searching for him, places where they thought he might be.
10:36Swartz Creek is a, it's a pretty small town.
10:40It's very, you know, conservative, they have their ways.
10:43It's a town that has a lot of middle class families and then as you get out of town, it gets more
10:50rural.
10:51So on Christmas day, I knew they were kind of gathering around to maybe do like a search
10:58party because they were just becoming really concerned that Kevin hadn't reached out to
11:01anybody.
11:02Kevin's family contacted the police in the afternoon of Christmas and told the police
11:11that he was supposed to be at brunch with them.
11:15The police put out a alert.
11:18If anybody were to come in contact with somebody that matched Kevin's description.
11:30Not long after that, while driving around, Kevin's father located Kevin's car parked in
11:36a parking lot of a small strip mall in a community named Clayton Township.
11:41A small township that is within a couple of miles of Swartz Creek.
11:46Kevin was driving a 2007 white Saturn Aura.
11:51Found in the backseat of the car was his black hoodie, some gray pants, a pink shirt, which
11:58are some of the items he's believed to have last worn.
12:01Along with that was a powered off cell phone.
12:04I would tell my husband, I'm like, I really just hope like he's not dead.
12:14I honestly said, I was like, I just hope he's not dead.
12:17I hope he's just, you know, having a moment, having a bad day, because that would just be
12:22the worst thing possible.
12:23Like, I just really hope that these situations didn't get the best of him.
12:27While searching Kevin's car, in addition to his clothes and his phone, they also found
12:41a pack of cigarettes.
12:46And his family indicated that that pack of cigarettes was not something that Kevin smoked.
12:55And they thought it could have been one of Kevin's exes that did smoke that brand.
13:01I know that Kevin had one ex in particular that he did not end amicably with.
13:12And so his family didn't particularly like this individual.
13:20I think that Kevin was, you know, looking for love in the wrong places.
13:27My thought process was there had to have been somebody else involved, because I don't
13:32think Kevin would leave his personal belongings in his vehicle in a parking lot.
13:37The family quickly put together a flyer that went out on social media.
13:58It showed pictures of Kevin.
14:00It contained pictures of his tattoos and a number with a reward to call police if they
14:07knew his whereabouts.
14:09Kevin, he went viral pretty quickly.
14:13The whole case did.
14:15His missing poster got a lot of shares on it.
14:19Kevin's name is connected, obviously, to a famous Hollywood actor named Kevin Bacon.
14:26And people were making that connection.
14:28Even at one point, Kevin Bacon on social media reached out and basically said he fell for
14:33the family.
14:39The police went and spoke with Kevin's ex that was named by his family.
14:43And he indicated to them that he was out of town, that he had been visiting family,
14:47and hadn't seen Kevin since before Thanksgiving.
14:51Ultimately, they determined he hadn't been involved in Kevin's disappearance.
14:58At one point, searchers found a pool of blood outside of the Swartz Creek Raceway.
15:04There was reports of blood found in the bushes over here.
15:08So police have been back here with dogs.
15:12It's not ordinary that you would find blood in that area.
15:15So with not knowing what happened to Kevin and thinking there could be a potential violence,
15:20this probably raised some flags for them.
15:24It's pretty rural.
15:25We're in mid-Michigan.
15:26And so it was surrounded by woods.
15:28And I think the police were, at that point, extremely concerned that something had happened
15:33to Kevin and he was potentially in the woods.
15:35The police located the blood at the raceway and there was almost a trail leading away from
15:44where that blood was.
15:45And they followed the trail and it ultimately turned out that it was an animal in the woods
15:49and that it wasn't actually Kevin.
15:52I think everyone always hopes for the best, but I do think a lot of people, you know, knew that it wasn't gonna, you know, have a good happy ending like we wanted it to.
16:10Early in the missing person investigation, the police went and spoke to Kevin's roommate that he was living with at the time.
16:17She indicated that Kevin had previously gone out on dates with people and would come home late.
16:25His roommate was one of the people who gave some background to police.
16:29He did have kind of a risky lifestyle at some times where he was meeting people for casual sex.
16:34On December 24th, Kevin had spent the day with his mother and his sister.
16:49He took them to the salon he had just recently began working at, uniquely used salon, and he had given them makeovers.
16:55And then he dropped them off and he went back to his apartment where he met his roommate.
17:00She indicated that on Christmas Eve, he had told her he was going out to meet someone, that he would probably be home late.
17:09And then he left the house at about 5.30.
17:12And then about an hour later, he messaged her and said, you know, don't wait up.
17:18If my mom calls, tell her I'm sleeping. I'm going out to have some fun tonight.
17:22The Michigan State Police Computer Crimes Unit was able to gain access to Kevin's phone.
17:38And that opened up information about who he was talking to and when and what his plans were.
17:47So the contents of the conversation on Kevin's phone indicated that he had reached out to this individual.
18:06That they then were going back and forth about setting up a sexual encounter.
18:13The man was asking Kevin what was Kevin's fantasy.
18:17And Kevin described his fantasy for the man and the man agreed to set it up.
18:24There's a lot of people who have the wrong idea about BDSM.
18:33And I think that's something that he wasn't ready for at the time.
18:39I do think he was vulnerable.
18:46And I think that that was why he, you know, explored and ventured out the way that he did.
18:51They paused their meetup until Christmas Eve.
18:56Kevin messaged this man and said, one last question.
19:02You're going to keep me safe, right?
19:17The profile on Kevin's phone that he was communicating with was named Olikos.
19:22And the police discovered in the course of their investigation that that is a Greek word that means wolf.
19:27The police ran the profile photo through facial recognition and determined that that individual was named Mark Latonski.
19:34And at that point, they realized, oh, we know this guy.
19:41He's had at least two incidents, one in November and one in October, where people had escaped his house and claimed that they had been locked in his basement.
19:50Help me.
19:52Help me.
19:53Help me.
19:54Help me.
19:55Help me.
19:56Help me.
19:57Help me.
19:58Help me.
19:59Help me.
20:00Help me.
20:01Help me.
20:02Mark Latonski was a man that was born and raised in Shiawassee County.
20:08He was extremely intelligent.
20:10He also had previously been married, had four children.
20:15So that evening, the police approached the house.
20:19The house is set back from the road.
20:22So it's not something that you have ready access to just driving down the street.
20:26It is a two-story house.
20:28There's a large front door.
20:30There's also a side door off of the driveway, which the police approached.
20:34Because it's rural, there is not street lights.
20:38So when the police approached the house, the only lights that they had were the lights from their cars and the light from the doorway that they approached.
20:51Police knock on the door and Mark Latonski emerges from the front door.
20:55He's holding a small toy dog.
20:57And he's wearing nothing but a leather kilt.
21:03It kind of gives you visions of a movie, really.
21:06I mean, you know, Silence of the Lambs type feel when you see someone come to the door with a dog in a kilt.
21:12And you don't know what's going on with the person you're looking for.
21:17The police said, Hi Mark, how are you?
21:19Is anybody else here?
21:21And Latonski indicated he was the only one there.
21:24So the police enter the residence and Mark says, Go ahead and look around.
21:28He stood in the living room with two officers.
21:31Mark collected a lot of Celtic items.
21:36So there was Celtic decor.
21:39He had decorated a palm tree for Christmas.
21:42So it was lit up.
21:45There were piles of clothes in the upstairs.
21:48There were his children's bedrooms that appeared to be untouched.
21:52It was messy, but there wasn't anything that indicated something bad had happened or even that Kevin had been in the residence.
21:59So as the police had covered the rest of the house, all they had left was the basement.
22:11The police go down the basement stairs.
22:21Directly ahead of them is what I would describe a woodworking room.
22:24Off to one side, there is a full living room.
22:29There's a couch.
22:30There's a coffee table.
22:31There's a TV.
22:32There's some workout equipment.
22:43One of the officers noticed that there was a decorative style barn door that slides.
22:49Leading to what appeared to be some sort of a secret room.
22:56One of the police officers put his hand to the door and discovered that the door itself was warm.
23:00Indicated that there was something beyond the dirt of the basement beyond it.
23:05And as he moved that door, he saw that it was about a five foot deep room.
23:15The flooring was all decking that had been recently stained.
23:19There were cinder block walls.
23:22There was tamper resistant lights hanging from the ceiling.
23:28There were a couple of locations that had chains hanging from the ceilings.
23:32Also located in the room were numerous sex toys.
23:35There was a blindfold.
23:37There were a couple different sets of handcuffs or wrist restraints.
23:41And then the police looked to their right and discovered that there is a body hanging in the basement.
23:55They backed out of the room.
24:00They were described by the other officers as the life having been drained out of them.
24:04That they were white.
24:06They kept saying, oh my god, oh my god.
24:14Mark has always been good at building things.
24:18It was really shocked.
24:19At the fact that he would want to put something like that in his house.
24:23And the purpose it was for.
24:30And I hope it wasn't there when my kids were there.
24:36I had a lot of calls for interviews.
24:39Different news stations wanted interviews.
24:41But I wanted to protect my children.
24:44So I didn't interview with anyone.
24:46I denied all requests for interviews.
24:52I am Emily Letonsky, ex-wife of Mark Letonsky and the mother of his children.
24:57We first told you about 25-year-old Kevin Bacon when he was reported missing from his Swartz Creek home on Christmas Day.
25:10Michigan State police say they found Bacon's body early this morning at a home in Bennington Township.
25:16And so far, police say they've arrested one 50-year-old male in connection to the murder.
25:20Mark and I met in late 1999 or early 2000.
25:35We shared mutual friends.
25:36And they set us up on a date.
25:39Then it went from there.
25:40We had our first child in 2003.
25:43And I became a stay-at-home mom.
25:46And three children followed.
25:49We loved to go to see Broadway shows together.
25:52Trips to Chicago and different things like that.
25:56We liked to travel a lot.
25:58He was very quirky, I thought.
26:01Very kind.
26:02And just kind of a soft-spoken guy.
26:06Mark and I lived in Morris.
26:08We bought a house together.
26:10It's a small cottage-style house that sits on the top of a hill.
26:14The basement, it had a sand floor.
26:17And it wasn't finished all the way under the house.
26:20So we had it lifted and had a brick mason lay a whole new foundation and basement to it.
26:26The room where Kevin was found was underneath the front porch.
26:30And when we were redoing the house, Mark wanted the basement to go all the way to the floor under the porch because he wanted to use it for storage.
26:52The body that police discovered in the basement was naked.
26:55It was hanging suspended by ropes from its ankles that were then attached to a pulley system on the ceiling that the rope then went down to a pile of dumbbells on the floor.
27:09The best way to describe it without seeing it is that it would be akin to the way that somebody would hang a deer after they've shot it to let the blood run out.
27:19As police investigated further, they noticed that there was an injury to his neck and it appeared that his neck had been cut.
27:28They also noticed another injury to his groin area.
27:34Immediately upon discovering the body, the state trooper went to the stairs and told his partner to put Mark Latonsky in handcuffs.
27:41Mark Latonsky was put into the back of a patrol car while they called in a forensic team and more detectives.
27:55Nothing happens here in Siawassee.
27:58Yeah, you heard that one?
28:00I heard that one.
28:02Mark didn't appear, based on the video, to be concerned.
28:05He appeared to be calm.
28:07They're gonna make sure that my dog is okay, right?
28:11Yeah, we'll make sure your dog's okay.
28:13Okay.
28:14He repeatedly asked the police to make sure that his dog was kept safe inside and what was gonna happen to her while he was at the police station.
28:22He fully expected that he would be returning home.
28:24One of the Michigan State Police Sergeants that was on scene took the missing person flyer and was able to identify Kevin based on his tattoos and based on his current hair color.
28:38I was actually working.
28:42It was a Saturday.
28:44And my boss' boss, she came up to me and she was like, hey, I need to talk to you.
28:49And I just, my stomach just instantly dropped and I was like, ugh.
28:53I was with my friend and, you know, we both just broke down and that was, that was it.
29:01So, I wanted, I really, I mean, I wanted him to be alive.
29:05I just knew that, I just knew it wasn't, it wasn't gonna be that way, so.
29:09Once the police identified that the body was Kevin, they contacted detectives and they contacted the crime scene response team.
29:24They noted that there was significant pooling of blood that was on the deck material that was on the floor.
29:32They also noted that there was blood spatter on the walls.
29:37As police searched the rest of the house, they found an unusual item on the stove.
29:44And it was later determined that that was actually part of Kevin.
29:50It was his testicles.
29:51Mark was transported to the detachment in Corona to be interviewed by two detective sergeants regarding the case.
30:05In that interview, he initially denied his name was Mark Lutenski.
30:10That is not my legal name.
30:12Oh, is it?
30:13No.
30:14That is a stolen identity.
30:16The video shows him wearing a kilt still, um, and talking to police and answering their questions in sometimes a very confusing way.
30:27Okay.
30:29What is the name that you prefer to be called?
30:32So, the name that I go by is Olegal.
30:36How do you spell it?
30:37O-L-Y-A-O-S.
30:38And when I hear the name Mark Lutenski, I know that somebody's fucking garbage.
30:47It's not real.
30:48Okay, let me know.
30:51Mark was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia shortly after our youngest child was born.
30:57I convinced him to go to the hospital twice.
31:01And he was put on medication, but he wouldn't stay on it once he got out of the hospital.
31:09There was a time where he did not come home from work on a Friday night.
31:15I told my dad that Mark had not come home.
31:17And so, my father drove to his workplace and found his truck in the parking lot.
31:23His cell phone was on the seat, his keys were in the truck.
31:27We made a police report, and they told us because he's an adult that we had to wait, I think it was 24 hours,
31:33before they would do anything about it.
31:37And so, Mark came home on a Sunday afternoon.
31:42He walked right in the door like nothing had ever happened.
31:45I found out later that he had met a man online and had gone to Indiana to spend the weekend with him,
31:51and never told anyone.
31:54At that time, I learned he was cheating on me with men.
31:58And at that point, I told him I wanted a divorce.
32:03Mark really didn't contact us until a few years later.
32:08He had gone for about four years not seeing the kids, and then he contacted me and he wanted to start visits again.
32:17He only had the kids every other weekend, and I think he reserved his activities for when they weren't there,
32:24because they never said anything about him being in the basement or anything when they were there.
32:29So...
32:31So you initially start talking with Kevin on Grindr.
32:36You two physically meet the first time after the agreement for his fetish and what you wanted to happen.
32:44We chatted for a while.
32:47He described the things that he wanted.
32:49I did what I could to bring those things about.
33:00They had a sexual encounter and ended up in the basement.
33:04And after we sat and made an agreement about what was going to happen,
33:12we made the agreement, and he was supposed to disappear, be gone.
33:25So he presented it as if he wanted to do a humane killing of Kevin on Kevin's behalf.
33:30So what did he do?
33:33Well, after talking to him in multiple ways,
33:38that was when he laid out and he said,
33:44I'm ready.
33:46I said, well, I could slit your throat.
33:52I mean, here's the knife. I could do it that way.
33:54And after we debated it, I said, you know what?
34:00I think that given what we've got right here,
34:07if I just take the knife and put it through your spine,
34:12that that will do.
34:13The detectives in their interview were talking with Lutenski about what his plan was.
34:22You killed Kevin. Now what?
34:24After he was dead, he was hanging.
34:28I was done for the night.
34:31And it was then that I started to do what I told him I was going to do.
34:36I explained to each part of him.
34:38That was when I took his balls.
34:44I cut them out.
34:45And I took them upstairs and I ate them.
34:47You said his balls?
34:48His balls.
34:52As news came out that he had eaten portions of the victim,
34:59that extent of evil makes you wonder if there was more.
35:03And especially when you know that there were two other men who escaped the home.
35:06Has he done this before?
35:08And obviously I think that's what a lot of people thought,
35:11both in the public and within the police department.
35:13You know what?
35:14I'll spend time with you.
35:16You know, man can't guarantee sex.
35:19Sometimes it works.
35:20Sometimes it doesn't.
35:21But you want to spend your time with me?
35:24Boom.
35:25Here's your price.
35:26Speaking to people in the area, clearly it was a shock.
35:40It appears Kevin thought he was going to go out and have fun with Mark Lutonski and return home that night.
35:48At the time, the police were very concerned that this may have not been Lutonski's first killing.
35:57So they broached the subject with him and asked him if he had ever done this to anybody else.
36:01The Michigan State Police had reached out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and talked to them about this particular case.
36:23The result of the conversation was that the FBI also didn't believe Mark had ever killed anyone else.
36:31But they did indicate and the state police agreed that there was potential if Lutonski hadn't been caught that he could have.
36:39Kevin's mom actually, you know, she kind of told me some things at the funeral before they were released to the public about the way that they found him, you know, just very gruesome details.
36:58And then seeing Kevin laying there in his casket, knowing that like underneath all of his clothes, there was parts of him that were missing.
37:09I mean, I could never see Kevin asking for things like that.
37:13Just, it was just so gruesome and just, you know, it just doesn't make any sense.
37:18Like why would, if he's dead, why would he ask you to do, you know, eat parts of him and things like that?
37:23The police were never able to discover anything that supported Mark's version of events.
37:32Kevin specifically said in his messages to Lutonski, you're going to keep me safe, right?
37:38And that has always indicated to the police and to myself as one of the prosecutors that Kevin wanted to go home, that this was not a suicide attempt from Kevin.
37:47I don't believe that Kevin asked Mark to help him commit suicide.
37:54I do think that if Mark got it into his head that Kevin wanted him to do it, that it was fact.
38:04And so if Mark convinced himself that that's what Kevin wanted to happen, then that was what Kevin wanted to happen.
38:11I don't believe Kevin wanted it to happen.
38:13In September of 2022, after months of prepping for trial, Mark Lutonski determined he was going to plead guilty to both counts.
38:26So he pled guilty to open murder and mutilation of a dead body.
38:30I never imagined that this would be something in my life at all.
38:48I never imagined we would go through something like this.
38:50Mark is my kids' father.
38:56And in order for them to be okay, they need to know that the Mark he is now is not the Mark he was.
39:05I need them to know that he loved them very much.
39:09And that who he is now is not who he was.
39:13He was a completely different person.
39:15It's a heartbreaking situation because two families have been affected.
39:26Kevin's family and my family.
39:29My children don't have a father.
39:31And Kevin's family don't have their child.
39:34And so to me it's sad.
39:38Really sad all the way around.
39:39I coordinated, it's called The Rock.
39:45It's like a big block of paint in Flint that people have painted for, I don't know, a long, long time.
39:56I just want Kevin to remember for who he was beyond what happened to him.
39:59And to know that his story was big enough to reach everybody.
40:07I mean, Kevin Bacon the actor, Jeffree Star, Dr. Phil sent flowers to his funeral.
40:13So, I think he touched a lot of people.
40:17And I think he also made a lot of people more aware of what can really happen if you don't take precautions and be safe when you're meeting people off of the internet that you've never met before.
40:30I want to be able to give Kevin his light.
40:34I want to be able to shine and let everyone know what kind of a person Kevin actually was.
40:39That he wasn't what happened to him.
40:41He's not, you know, this crazy sexual.
40:45He was just a guy looking for love.
40:48Trying to be comfortable in his own skin and find his own way.
40:52And unfortunately he came into contact with someone who took him away from the world.
40:57So, looking back you see a path of things that escalate over time.
41:16The whole world's like dark.
41:19It's unlike anything I've ever seen.
41:21As we descended the stairwell, I immediately felt I was going to get sick.
41:26At that point we realized that we were looking at our third body.
41:28At that point we were looking at our third body.
