Transcript

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. The basement had a family room where the kids would watch movies.

00:38The basement had their 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 the 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.

01:19I can't imagine what it is.

01:23I don't want to get away from some creepy guy.

01:53I 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.

02:23It was Thanksgiving.

02:27We were getting ready to celebrate and heading into the holidays.

03:01The outfit that the gentleman is wearing.

03:33He was feared for his life.

03:35And I've never experienced that.

04:06And he says, help me, help me, keep him away from me.

04:08He's trying to kill me.

04:10And I'm like, okay, 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

04:21into my driveway.

04:22In the November incident, the Michigan State Police were dispatched to Tyrell Road in Morris.

04:30A man had escaped a basement.

04:33The 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

04:50wall.

04:50As the man spoke to police, at first he presented it as, you know, he was abducted, kidnapped.

05:00As it went on, he started to kind of change his tune a little bit to police and said that,

05:06oh, maybe I misunderstood.

05:07Maybe this was part of a role play scenario.

05:11I'm asking you a straight up question, my man.

05:13Are you looking to press charges for what happened today?

05:17No.

05:17The man indicates that he has fled a house down the road and points to the house.

05:42They knocked on his door, and when he opened the door, he was in a kilt.

05:45He had on a leather harness, and on the leather harness were metal rings that displayed different

05:52portions of his abdomen.

05:54Hello.

05:55Why don't you come on out?

05:56Oh, sure.

05:58We're going to help you there.

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

06:14happy to give the police the man's clothing.

06:16And so the police were kind of handicapped.

06:18They couldn't do anything about it.

06:20I had no idea who he was or anything until it all came out and it was exposed, and then

06:27that's when all the information gets spilled on you.

06:32It's wild.

06:33It's something that's hard to imagine, something that's hard to just fabricate.

06:37True life is sometimes worse than your imagination.

06:42True life is sometimes worse than your imagination.

07:07On Christmas Day 2019, the Bacon family had agreed to have brunch all together.

07:20Mom, Dad, Kevin, and his sister.

07:24And Kevin hadn't shown up.

07:28The actual day Kevin went missing, I was just at home and I had hopped on Facebook.

07:35Kevin's roommate posted a video of him kind of leaving the house, and she just asked

07:43if anybody 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.

08:01So I even shot him a little message, and I was like, hey, you know, like, just let me

08:07know if 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

08:19that no one's heard or seen from him.

08:21I immediately got on Facebook, and I tried to call him, I tried to text him, you know,

08:28no answer.

08:31He always had his phone on him, so it was very alarming that he wasn't answering his

08:35phone, and his phone was off, and no one could get a hold of him.

08:39Kevin Bacon was born in 1994.

08:55He went to high school at Swartz Creek High School, and then he went on to get a beautician

09:00license, 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.

09:16His name's Kevin Bacon, so he was very big on the, oh my goodness, you know, everybody

09:20knows who I am, because my name's Kevin Bacon.

09:23Everyone loved Kevin.

09:24He would always have Taylor Swift playing on his computer, so everyone would always try

09:28to, like, just, on their breaks, we'd stop over and just jam out.

09:32He was just very funny, he was caring, he 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.

10:07If he was, like, around town and things like that, he wouldn't be as open with his makeup

10:11and his hair and his clothes, just because there was a lot of judgment around that time

10:16on openly gay men.

10:18After 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.

10:35Swartz Creek is a pretty small town.

10:40It's very, you know, conservative.

10:42They have their ways.

10:44It's a town that has a lot of middle-class families, and then as you get out of town,

10:49it gets more rural.

10:50So 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

11:02anybody.

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.

11:13The police put out an alert if anybody were to come in contact with somebody that matched

11:20Kevin's description.

11:29Not 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, a small township

11:42that is within a couple miles of Swartz Creek.

11:46Kevin was driving a 2007 white Saturn Aura.

11:52Found 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.

12:03I 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.

12:49And his family indicated that that pack of cigarettes was not something that Kevin smoked.

12:54And they thought it could have been one of Kevin's exes that did smoke that brand.

13:05I know that Kevin had one ex in particular that he did not end amicably with, and so his

13:12family didn't particularly like this individual.

13:15I 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 think

13:32Kevin 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 of 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, it 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 the

14:33family.

14:33The police went and spoke with Kevin's ex that was named by his family, and he indicated to

14:44them that he was out of town, that he had been visiting family, and hadn't seen Kevin since

14:48before Thanksgiving.

14:51Ultimately, they determined he hadn't been involved in Kevin's disappearance.

14:54At one point, searchers found a pool of blood outside of the Swartz Creek Raceway.

15:03There 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.

15:22It's pretty rural.

15:25We're in mid-Michigan, and so it was surrounded by woods, and I think the police were, at that

15:31point, extremely concerned that something had happened to Kevin, and he was potentially

15:34in the woods.

15:37The 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 knew that it

16:02wasn't going to have a good, happy ending like we wanted it to.

16:06Early in the missing person investigation, the police went and spoke to Kevin's roommate

16:13that he was living with at the time.

16:17She indicated that Kevin had previously gone out on dates with people and would come home

16:23late.

16:23His 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

16:34sex.

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 begun working at, uniquely used salon, and

16:54he 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,

17:08that he would probably be home late.

17:09And then he left the house at about 5.30.

17:11And 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.

17:21I'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.

17:42And that opened up information about who he was talking to and when and what his plans

17:47were.

17:47So the contents of the conversation on Kevin's phone indicated that he had reached out to

18:06this individual, that they then were going back and forth about setting up a sexual encounter.

18:12The man was asking Kevin, what was Kevin's fantasy?

18:19And Kevin described his fantasy for the man, and the man agreed to set it up.

18:26There's a lot of people who have the wrong idea about BDSM.

18:32And I think that's something that he wasn't ready for at the time.

18:45I 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.

18:58Kevin messaged this man and said, one last question.

19:03You're going to keep me safe, right?

19:05The profile on Kevin's phone that he was communicating with was named Olikovs.

19:23And the police discovered in the course of their investigation that that is a Greek word

19:26that means wolf.

19:28The police ran the profile photo through facial recognition and determined that that individual

19:33was named Mark Latonsky.

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

19:47his house and claimed that they had been locked in his basement.

19:51Help me.

19:52Help me.

19:53Mark Latonsky was a man that was born and raised in Chiawassee County.

20:06He was extremely intelligent.

20:09He also had previously been married, had four children.

20:12So that evening, the police approached the house.

20:19The house is set back from the road, so it's not something that you have ready access to

20:24just driving down the street.

20:25It 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

20:42their cars and the light from the doorway that they approached.

20:46Police knock on the door, and Mark Latonsky emerges from the front door.

20:55He's holding a small toy dog, and he's wearing nothing but a leather kilt.

21:03It kind of gives you visions of a movie, really.

21:07I mean, you know, Silence of the Lambs type feel when you see someone come to the door with

21:11a dog in a kilt, and you don't know what's going on with the person you're looking for.

21:16The police said, hi, Mark.

21:18How are you?

21:19Is anybody else here?

21:21And Latonsky 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.

21:33Mark collected a lot of Celtic items.

21:36So there was Celtic decor.

21:39He had decorated a palm tree for Christmas, so it was lit up.

21:43There 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

21:57that 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.

22:10The police go down the basement stairs.

22:13Directly ahead of them is what I would describe a woodworking room.

22:26Off 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.

22:33One 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.

22:53One of the police officers put his hand to the door and discovered that the door itself

22:59was warm, indicated that there was something beyond the dirt of the basement beyond it.

23:08And as he moved that door, he saw that it was about a five-foot deep room.

23:17The flooring was all decking that had been recently stained.

23:20There were cinder block walls.

23:24There was tamper-resistant lights hanging from the ceiling.

23:29There were a couple of locations that had chains hanging from the ceilings.

23:33Also located in the room were numerous sex toys.

23:36There was a blindfold.

23:38There were a couple different sets of handcuffs or wrist restraints.

23:43And then the police looked to the right and discovered that there is a body hanging in the basement.

23:50They backed out of the room.

23:59They 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.

24:08Mark has always been good at building things.

24:17It was really shocked at the fact that he would want to put something like that in his house

24:22and the purpose it was for.

24:24And I hope it wasn't there when my kids were there.

24:33I had a lot of calls for interviews.

24:40Different news stations wanted interviews, but I wanted to protect my children,

24:44so I didn't interview with anyone.

24:46I denied all requests for interviews.

24:48I am Emily Latonsky, ex-wife of Mark Latonsky, and the mother of his children.

24:56We first told you about 25-year-old Kevin Bacon when he was reported missing

25:07from his Swartz Creek home on Christmas Day.

25:10Michigan State Police say they found Bacon's body early this morning

25:13at a home in Bennington Township.

25:15And 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, and they set us up on a date.

25:38Then it went from there.

25:41We had our first child in 2003, and I became a stay-at-home mom.

25:46And three children followed.

25:47We loved to go to see Broadway shows together, trips to Chicago,

25:53and different things like that, as we liked to travel a lot.

25:58He was very quirky, I thought, very kind, and 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.

26:13The basement, it had a sand floor, and 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.

26:25The room where Kevin was found was underneath the front porch.

26:31And when we were redoing the house,

26:33Mark wanted the basement to go all the way to the floor under the porch

26:37because he wanted to use it for storage.

26:51The body that police discovered in the basement was naked.

26:55It was hanging suspended by ropes from its ankles

26:58that were then attached to a pulley system on the ceiling

27:04that the rope then went down to a pile of dumbbells on the floor.

27:09The best way to describe it without seeing it

27:11is that it would be akin to the way that somebody would hang a deer

27:14after they've shot it to let the blood run out.

27:20As police investigated further,

27:22they noticed that there was an injury to his neck,

27:25and it appeared that his neck had been cut.

27:28They also noticed another injury to his groin area.

27:31Immediately upon discovering the body,

27:36the state trooper went to the stairs

27:39and told his partner to put Mark Lutonski in handcuffs.

27:47Mark Lutonski was put into the back of a patrol car

27:50while they called in a forensic team and more detectives.

27:55Nothing happens here in Siawassee.

27:57Mark didn't appear, based on the video, to be concerned.

28:05He appeared to be calm.

28:13He repeatedly asked the police to make sure

28:16that his dog was kept safe inside,

28:18and what was going to happen to her

28:19while he was at the police station,

28:21he fully expected that he would be returning home.

28:23One of the Michigan State Police Sergeants

28:29that was on scene took the missing person flyer

28:32and was able to identify Kevin based on his tattoos

28:35and based on his current hair color.

28:40I was actually working.

28:42It was a Saturday,

28:44and my boss' boss, she came up to me,

28:47and she was like,

28:48hey, I need to talk to you,

28:49and I just, my stomach just instantly dropped,

28:51and I was like, oh.

28:54I was with my friend,

28:55and, you know, we both just broke down,

28:57and that was, that was it, so.

29:02I wanted, I really, I mean, I wanted him to be alive.

29:05I just knew that, I just knew

29:07it wasn't, it wasn't going to be that way, so.

29:09Once the police identified that the body was Kevin,

29:19they contacted detectives,

29:21and they contacted the crime scene response team.

29:25They noted that there was significant pooling of blood

29:29that was on the deck material that was on the floor.

29:34They also noted that there was blood spatter on the walls.

29:37As police searched the rest of the house,

29:41they found an unusual item on the stove,

29:44and it was later determined

29:47that that was actually part of Kevin.

29:50It was his testicles.

29:58Mark was transported to the detachment in Corona

30:01to be interviewed by two detective sergeants

30:03regarding the case.

30:04In that interview, he initially denied

30:08his name was Mark Lutensky.

30:10That is not my legal name.

30:12Oh, it isn't?

30:13No.

30:14That is a stolen identity.

30:17The video shows him wearing a kilt still,

30:19and talking to police,

30:23and answering their questions,

30:25and sometimes a very confusing way.

30:27Okay.

30:27What is the name that you prefer to be called?

30:31So, the name that I go by is O-L-E-G-O-S.

30:36How do you spell it?

30:36O-L-Y-A-O-S.

30:39And when I hear the name Mark Lutensky,

30:43I know that somebody's talking garbage.

30:46It's not real.

30:47Okay, what do you know?

30:48Mark was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia

30:53shortly after our youngest child was born.

30:57I convinced him to go to the hospital twice.

31:01And he was put on medication,

31:03but he wouldn't stay on it

31:05once he got out of the hospital.

31:06There was a time where

31:11he did not come home from work on a Friday night.

31:14I told my dad that Mark had not come home.

31:17And so, my father drove to his workplace

31:20and found his truck in the parking lot.

31:23His cell phone was on the seat.

31:24His keys were in the truck.

31:27We made a police report,

31:28and they told us, because he's an adult,

31:31that we had to wait, I think it was 24 hours,

31:34before they would do anything about it.

31:36And so, Mark came home on a Sunday afternoon.

31:42He walked right in the door

31:42like nothing had ever happened.

31:44I found out later that he had met a man online

31:48and had gone to Indiana

31:49to spend the weekend with him

31:51and never told anyone.

31:54At that time, I learned

31:55he was cheating on me with men.

31:58And at that point,

32:01I told him I wanted a divorce.

32:02Mark really didn't contact us

32:07until a few years later.

32:09He had gone for about four years

32:11not seeing the kids.

32:12And then he contacted me

32:15and he wanted to start visits again.

32:17He only had the kids every other weekend.

32:20And I think he reserved his activities

32:23for when they weren't there

32:24because they never said anything

32:25about him being in the basement

32:27or anything when they were there.

32:29So...

32:29So you initially start talking

32:33with Kevin on Grindr.

32:36You two physically meet the first time

32:38after the agreement for his fetish

32:42and what you wanted to happen.

32:44We chatted for a while.

32:47He described the things that he wanted.

32:49They had a sexual encounter

33:02and ended up in the basement.

33:03And after we sat

33:07and made an agreement

33:09about what was going to happen,

33:13we made the agreement

33:16and he was supposed to disappear,

33:23be gone.

33:25So he presented it as if

33:26he wanted to do a humane killing of Kevin

33:29on Kevin's behalf.

33:31Because what did he do?

33:33Well, after talking to him

33:36in multiple ways,

33:38that was when he laid out,

33:42he said, I'm ready.

33:44And I says, well,

33:48I could, I could

33:50slit your throat.

33:51I mean, here's the knife.

33:53I could do it that way.

33:56And after we debated it,

33:57I said, you know what?

34:00I think that given,

34:03given what we've got right here,

34:06if I just take the knife

34:08and put it through your spine,

34:12that that will do.

34:14The detectives in their interview

34:18were talking with Lutenski

34:19about what his plan was.

34:22You killed Kevin,

34:23now what?

34:24After he was dead,

34:26he was hanging.

34:28I was done for the night.

34:31And it was then that

34:32I started to do

34:34what I told him I was going to do.

34:36I was going to eat part of him.

34:38That was when

34:40I took his balls,

34:44I cut them out,

34:45and I took them upstairs

34:46and I ate them.

34:47You said his balls?

34:48His balls.

34:52As news came out

34:54that he had eaten portions

34:55of the victim,

34:57that extent of evil

35:00makes you wonder

35:02if there was more,

35:03and especially when you know

35:04that there were two other men

35:05who escaped the home.

35:07Has he done this before?

35:08And obviously,

35:09I think that's what

35:10a lot of people thought,

35:11both in the public

35:11and within the police department.

35:13You know what?

35:14I'll spend time with you.

35:16You know,

35:17man can't guarantee sex.

35:19Sometimes it works.

35:20Sometimes it doesn't.

35:21But you want to spend

35:23your time with me?

35:24Boom.

35:25Here's your price.

35:34Speaking to people

35:36in the area,

35:37clearly it was a shock.

35:40It appears Kevin

35:41thought he was going to go out

35:43and have fun

35:43with Mark Lutonski

35:45and return home that night.

35:49At the time,

35:50the police were very concerned

35:52that this may have not been

35:54Lutonski's first killing.

35:57So they broached

35:58the subject with him

35:59and asked him

36:00if he had ever done this

36:01to anybody else.

36:02Has this ever happened before?

36:04No.

36:05You've never assisted anybody

36:06with these type of wishes?

36:08No, I haven't.

36:09Or eaten anybody else's testicles

36:11or any other part of it?

36:12No.

36:16The Michigan State Police

36:17had reached out

36:18to the Federal Bureau

36:20of Investigation

36:20and talked to them

36:22about this particular case.

36:25The result of the conversation

36:26was that the FBI

36:28also didn't believe

36:29Mark had ever killed anyone else.

36:31But they did indicate,

36:32and the State Police agreed,

36:34that there was potential

36:36if Lutonski hadn't been caught

36:38that he could have.

36:43Kevin's mom,

36:45actually, you know,

36:46she kind of told me

36:47some things at the funeral

36:48before they were released

36:50to the public

36:51about the way that

36:52they found him,

36:54you know,

36:54just very gruesome details.

36:59And then seeing Kevin

37:01laying there in his casket,

37:03knowing that, like,

37:05underneath all of his clothes

37:06there was parts of him

37:07that were missing.

37:08I mean,

37:10I could never see Kevin

37:11asking for things like that.

37:13Just,

37:13it was just so gruesome

37:15and just,

37:16you know,

37:16it just doesn't make any sense.

37:17Like, why would,

37:18if he's dead,

37:19why would he ask you

37:20to do, you know,

37:21eat parts of him

37:22and things like that?

37:23The police were never able

37:28to discover anything

37:30that supported

37:30Mark's version of events.

37:32Kevin specifically said

37:33in his messages to Lutonski,

37:35you're going to keep me safe, right?

37:38And that has always indicated

37:40to the police

37:40and to myself

37:41as one of the prosecutors

37:42that Kevin wanted to go home,

37:45that this was not

37:45a suicide attempt from Kevin.

37:48I don't believe that

37:50Kevin asked Mark

37:52to help him commit suicide.

37:54I do think that

37:56if Mark got it into his head

37:58that Kevin wanted him to do it,

38:01that it was fact.

38:04And so,

38:05if Mark convinced himself

38:06that that's what

38:07Kevin wanted to happen,

38:09then that was what

38:10Kevin wanted to happen.

38:11I don't believe

38:12Kevin wanted it to happen.

38:16In September of 2022,

38:19after months of prepping for trial,

38:21Mark Lutonski

38:22determined he was going

38:24to plead guilty

38:25to both counts.

38:26So he pled guilty

38:27to open murder

38:28and mutilation

38:30of a dead body.

38:31I never imagined

38:44that this would be something

38:46in my life at all.

38:48I never imagined

38:49we would go through

38:49something like this.

38:52Mark is

38:53my kids' father

38:55mother.

38:56And in order for them

38:57to be okay,

38:59they need to know

39:00that the Mark he is now

39:02is not the Mark he was.

39:05I need them to know

39:06that he loved them

39:07very much

39:08and that who he is now

39:10is not who he is,

39:12who he was.

39:13He was a completely

39:14different person.

39:15It's a heartbreaking situation

39:22because two families

39:24have been affected.

39:26Kevin's family

39:27and my family.

39:28My children

39:29don't have a father

39:30and Kevin's family

39:32don't have their child.

39:34And so,

39:34to me,

39:35it's sad,

39:38really sad

39:38all the way around.

39:39I coordinated,

39:43it's called

39:44The Rock.

39:45It's like a big block

39:46of paint in Flint

39:47that people

39:48have painted

39:49for,

39:51I don't know,

39:52a long,

39:53long time.

39:55I just want Kevin

39:56to remember

39:57for who he was

39:57beyond what happened

39:59to him

39:59and to know

40:02that his story

40:03was big enough

40:04to reach

40:05everybody.

40:07I mean,

40:08Kevin Bacon,

40:08the actor,

40:09Jeffree Star.

40:10Dr. Phil sent

40:11flowers to his funeral.

40:13So,

40:14I think he touched

40:16a lot of people

40:16and I think

40:17he also made

40:19a lot of people

40:20more aware

40:21of what can really happen

40:22if you don't

40:23take precautions

40:25and be safe

40:26when you're meeting

40:27people off of the internet

40:28that you've never met before.

40:31I want to be able

40:32to give Kevin his light.

40:34I want to be able

40:34to shine

40:35and let everyone know

40:36what kind of a person

40:37Kevin actually was,

40:38realized that he wasn't

40:39what happened to him.

40:40He's not,

40:42you know,

40:43this crazy,

40:44sexually,

40:45he was just

40:45a guy looking for love,

40:48trying to be comfortable

40:49in his own skin

40:50and find his own way

40:51and unfortunately,

40:53he came into contact

40:54with someone

40:55who took him

40:56away from the world.

40:57so looking back,

41:13you see a path

41:14of things

41:15that escalate

41:16over time.

41:16happened to him,

41:19and he was just

41:19like,

41:20he's a big boy

41:20here.

41:21We're going to be able

41:22to make it

41:22to him.

41:23He was just

41:24a guy and he's

41:25like,

41:25he was just

41:26a guy saying,

41:27he's a guy and I'm like,

41:27he's a guy,

41:28oh,

41:29like,

41:29I may be able

41:29to make it

41:30because he was like,
