Speaker 1: story that you will most likely go back and watch

Speaker 1: this all over again because the ending completely changes the story.
0:09
Speaker 1: But before we get into today's story, if you're a
0:12

Speaker 1: on all notifications so you don't miss any of our
0:31
Speaker 1: weekly uploads. All right, let's get into today's story. Ever
0:46
Speaker 1: since he was a child, Mark Twitchell had always dreamed
0:49
Speaker 1: of becoming a big time Hollywood filmmaker, but he knew
0:52
Speaker 1: the odds were stacked against him because he lived in Edmonton, Canada,
0:55
Speaker 1: which was not exactly known for being a movie making hub. Nonetheless,
0:59
Speaker 1: after high scho he enrolled in an Edmonton Art college
1:02
Speaker 1: and in two thousand he graduated, earning his degree in
1:05
Speaker 1: Radio and Television Art. But after college, despite utilizing his
1:09
Speaker 1: training to make several films, none of them generated any
1:13
Speaker 1: buzz beyond his friends and family, and so it seemed
1:16
Speaker 1: like his filmmaking career was turning into a bit of
1:18
Speaker 1: a dud. However, in two thousand and seven, Mark had
1:21
Speaker 1: a bit of an unintentional breakthrough. He had been a
1:24
Speaker 1: longtime Star Wars fanatic, and that year he decided, purely
1:28
Speaker 1: as a passion project, he was going to write a
1:30
Speaker 1: script for a prequel to the Star Wars franchise. When
1:34
Speaker 1: he finished it and shared the script with some of
1:36
Speaker 1: his colleagues, they were so impressed with his writing they said, Mark,
1:41
Speaker 1: you need to produce this into a movie. This is incredible.
1:43
Speaker 1: And so Mark, who was totally amazed at this unbelievable
1:46
Speaker 1: feedback he was getting, decided, you know what, what the heck,
1:49
Speaker 1: I will produce this movie. And so he began sending
1:52
Speaker 1: his script out to different actors and actresses to see
1:54
Speaker 1: if they might be interested in playing a role, and amazingly,
1:58
Speaker 1: one of the original Star Wars Wars actors, Jeremy Bullock,
2:01
Speaker 1: who played Boba Fett, he read the script and he
2:04
Speaker 1: was so impressed by it that he agreed to play
2:07
Speaker 1: a role in Mark's film, and so this passion project
2:10
Speaker 1: had quickly turned into Mark's biggest success yet. When the
2:13
Speaker 1: movie was finished, it did well, but it didn't propel
2:16
Speaker 1: Mark into Hollywood's stardom. However, it did put him on
2:20
Speaker 1: the map as a bona fide filmmaker, and it showed
2:23
Speaker 1: him that if he just focused on making films about
2:26
Speaker 1: subjects he was already very passionate about, those films would
2:30
Speaker 1: be much more likely to succeed. And so in two
2:32
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, so roughly a year after creating the
2:35
Speaker 1: Star Wars fan fiction film, Mark decided to embark on
2:39
Speaker 1: another film project around another passion of his Dexter. Dexter
2:43
Speaker 1: was a very popular TV show about a fictional serial
2:46
Speaker 1: killer whose name was Dexter, and the way Dexter would
2:49
Speaker 1: kill his victims is he would lure them into these
2:52
Speaker 1: small rooms which he called kill rooms, and inside of them,
2:55
Speaker 1: basically every surface, that ceiling, the walls, the floor were
2:58
Speaker 1: all covered in plastic sheet to catch any of the blood.
3:01
Speaker 1: And then he would kill his victims, usually with a knife,
3:04
Speaker 1: and then afterwards he would dismember them and bag up
3:07
Speaker 1: their body and he would roll up all this plastic
3:09
Speaker 1: kind of collecting all the evidence and then he would
3:12
Speaker 1: dump the plastic and the body into the ocean. Mark
3:15
Speaker 1: was obsessed with the show, and so it inspired him
3:18
Speaker 1: to make his next movie be about a killer too,
3:22
Speaker 1: except instead of it being fiction like Dexter, he wanted
3:25
Speaker 1: his movie to be at least based on real events,
3:28
Speaker 1: and it just so happened at the time he was
3:30
Speaker 1: thinking about doing this movie, there was this uncaught murderer
3:34
Speaker 1: terrorizing Edmonton, and so Mark decided the Edmonton Killer would
3:38
Speaker 1: be his star. Mark would spend the next several weeks
3:41
Speaker 1: obsessively researching the Edmonton Killer and his victims and establishing
3:45
Speaker 1: a clear timeline of what had happened with this case.
3:48
Speaker 1: And then, after he felt like he had compiled every
3:50
Speaker 1: piece of information he possibly could, he used that research
3:54
Speaker 1: to concoct a forty two page first drapped up his script,
3:58
Speaker 1: and as soon as he was done with that first draft,
4:01
Speaker 1: it somehow got leaked. And when it got leaked, the
4:05
Speaker 1: contents of this script were so shocking and so controversial
4:10
Speaker 1: that the script wound up in the hands of the
4:12
Speaker 1: Edmonton Police and when they read the script, they immediately
4:16
Speaker 1: recognized they had a big problem. They reached out to
4:20
Speaker 1: Mark and they told him, under no circumstances can you
4:22
Speaker 1: turn this script into a movie. And then the police
4:25
Speaker 1: basically wiped the script off the face of the earth. Today,
4:29
Speaker 1: if you go looking for mark script online, you'll basically
4:32
Speaker 1: only find heavily censored versions of it. But recently I
4:36
Speaker 1: got my hands on an uncensored version of this forty
4:39
Speaker 1: two page script. Now, I'm not going to literally read
4:42
Speaker 1: you this script, However, what I'm going to do is
4:45
Speaker 1: use the script's information to tell you Mark's highly controversial
4:50
Speaker 1: Edmonton Killers story. As you listen, remember this story is
4:54
Speaker 1: based on actual events, and so the victim's names and
4:58
Speaker 1: the information about them is real. Okay, here we go.
5:05
Speaker 1: In early October two thousand and eight, a soft spoken
5:08
Speaker 1: twenty six year old casino security guard named Giles Tetro
5:12
Speaker 1: was living alone in Edmonton. Giles his life had recently
5:15
Speaker 1: been turned upside down because a few months earlier, his
5:19
Speaker 1: wife had told him that she just didn't love him
5:21
Speaker 1: anymore and that she was going to leave him. Giles
5:24
Speaker 1: was still very much in love with his wife, and
5:26
Speaker 1: so this was a totally heartbreaking experience for him. After
5:28
Speaker 1: she left, Giles tried to stay busy and keep his
5:31
Speaker 1: mind occupied, but it rarely worked. Oftentimes he felt crushingly,
5:35
Speaker 1: lonely and sad. But on Friday, October third, when Giles
5:39
Speaker 1: came home from work that afternoon, he suddenly felt like,
5:42
Speaker 1: you know what, I got to get my life together,
5:43
Speaker 1: and I'm going to start by finding myself a new
5:46
Speaker 1: romantic partner. And so he went on a dating site
5:48
Speaker 1: and he made himself a profile, and he began scrolling
5:51
Speaker 1: through all of the women's profiles that lived roughly in
5:54
Speaker 1: his area, and at first no one really appealed to him,
5:57
Speaker 1: But then he stopped on this one woman's profile. Le
6:00
Speaker 1: she was this young, blonde, beautiful woman named Shena, and
6:03
Speaker 1: she lived right in Edmonton, and so Giles thought, what
6:06
Speaker 1: the heck, I'll send her a message, and so he did,
6:08
Speaker 1: just introducing himself and asking to talk further, and she
6:11
Speaker 1: responded just a couple of minutes later, and then over
6:14
Speaker 1: the next couple of hours, the two exchanged dozens of messages,
6:17
Speaker 1: getting to know each other, and then finally Shena just
6:19
Speaker 1: says to Giles, Hey, you know, we live so close together,
6:22
Speaker 1: why don't we get together tonight and go grab dinner
6:24
Speaker 1: and watch a movie together. And Giles is thrilled, and
6:27
Speaker 1: he says, yeah, come pick you up. What's your address?
6:29
Speaker 1: And Shehena would tell him, you know what, I don't
6:31
Speaker 1: feel comfortable sharing my address over this dating website, and
6:34
Speaker 1: so instead she sent Giles this strange, customized set of
6:38
Speaker 1: directions that didn't give the actual address of her house. Instead,
6:43
Speaker 1: it basically gave Giles a set of known landmarks in
6:47
Speaker 1: Edmonton that he could follow until he finally arrived at
6:51
Speaker 1: her residence. And she also told him that when he arrived,
6:54
Speaker 1: instead of just coming up to her house, there would
6:57
Speaker 1: be a detached garage and the door would be open,
7:00
Speaker 1: and he would go through the garage out the door
7:02
Speaker 1: into her backyard and then he would go up the
7:04
Speaker 1: back steps to the back door of her house and
7:07
Speaker 1: she would meet him there. Now Giles did think this
7:10
Speaker 1: was a little bit strange, but at the same time,
7:12
Speaker 1: he's thinking, you know, I am basically a complete stranger
7:15
Speaker 1: to her. We just met today on the internet, and
7:18
Speaker 1: so I really can't blame her for taking some extra
7:20
Speaker 1: safety precautions with me. And so we told Sheena he
7:22
Speaker 1: had no issues using her special directions, and then he
7:25
Speaker 1: said he'd be over soon, and so Giles hopped in
7:28
Speaker 1: the shower, he freshened up, he got dressed, he hopped
7:30
Speaker 1: in his truck, and then he began driving to Sheena's house.
7:33
Speaker 1: After about fifteen minutes of following these directions, he reached
7:37
Speaker 1: the end of them, and they placed him in this
7:39
Speaker 1: alleyway in a suburban neighborhood. And where he stopped, he
7:43
Speaker 1: looked off to his right and he saw there was
7:45
Speaker 1: this two car garage, and he knew it was Sheena's
7:48
Speaker 1: garage because one of the doors was open like she
7:50
Speaker 1: said it would be. Although the door was not open
7:53
Speaker 1: all the way, it was open enough to where he
7:55
Speaker 1: would have to duck to get into the garage. But
7:57
Speaker 1: either way, he knew it was her garage. And he
8:00
Speaker 1: turns off his truck and he gets out, and he
8:02
Speaker 1: tries to look up at Sheena's house behind the garage
8:05
Speaker 1: to see if maybe he can see her looking out
8:07
Speaker 1: the back door, but the detached garage that was right
8:10
Speaker 1: up against the street was kind of blocking his view,
8:13
Speaker 1: and so he thought, okay, whatever, I'll just go in
8:15
Speaker 1: and make my way up to the back steps. And
8:17
Speaker 1: so he walks over to this two car garage and
8:19
Speaker 1: he goes to the open side, he ducks down and
8:22
Speaker 1: he goes underneath and he stands up inside of the garage.
8:25
Speaker 1: Now it was dark inside of the garage. There was
8:27
Speaker 1: no light on, but there was enough light spilling in
8:30
Speaker 1: from the opening of the garage door that he could see.
8:33
Speaker 1: There was really nothing in the garage, however, virtually every surface,
8:37
Speaker 1: the walls, the ceiling, the floor was covered in plastic sheeting.
8:41
Speaker 1: Now he had no idea what this plastic sheeting was for,
8:44
Speaker 1: and he really didn't care. He just kept walking across
8:47
Speaker 1: the garage towards the door that would lead into Sheena's backyard.
8:50
Speaker 1: And when he reached that door, he reached down to
8:53
Speaker 1: the door handle and he was about to turn it
8:55
Speaker 1: when he felt a blinding pain in the back of
8:58
Speaker 1: his neck. He whipped around, and even though it was
9:00
Speaker 1: dark inside of this garage, he could clearly see this
9:04
Speaker 1: huge man in a black and gold hockey mask standing
9:07
Speaker 1: right in front of him holding a stun baton. Giles
9:10
Speaker 1: tries to run past him to try to get out
9:12
Speaker 1: of the garage, but the man grabs him and then
9:15
Speaker 1: takes his stun baton and drives it into Giles's stomach,
9:18
Speaker 1: and he pulls the trigger. Immediately, Giles feels this coursing
9:21
Speaker 1: pain in his torso and he falls to the ground.
9:24
Speaker 1: And then this man in the mask releases the trigger
9:27
Speaker 1: and Giles tries to scramble up to his feet to
9:29
Speaker 1: try to run out of the garage. But as soon
9:31
Speaker 1: as Giles turns around, he stops where he is because
9:34
Speaker 1: he sees this huge guy in the mask is standing
9:37
Speaker 1: between him and this open garage door, and he's now
9:40
Speaker 1: holding a gun in his hand and he's aiming it
9:43
Speaker 1: right at Giles, and so Giles freezes. He has no
9:46
Speaker 1: idea what's going on. And this man who's got this
9:48
Speaker 1: mask on barks at Giles to get on the ground
9:51
Speaker 1: and put your face on the ground. And so Giles
9:53
Speaker 1: at this point is thinking, I'm gonna get killed in here.
9:55
Speaker 1: I have nothing I can do. I'm completely defenseless here,
9:58
Speaker 1: and so he just does what he's told. Then he
10:00
Speaker 1: lies down on the plastic sheeting and he's totally terrified.
10:03
Speaker 1: And this man walks over and he puts a piece
10:05
Speaker 1: of duct tape over Giles's eyes, and so as he's
10:08
Speaker 1: laying there, blind and terrified, Giles becomes very emotional. He
10:12
Speaker 1: suddenly longs for his ex wife, and for his family
10:15
Speaker 1: and his friends. He wishes he could see them just
10:18
Speaker 1: one more time, and he knows he's not going to. Then,
10:21
Speaker 1: as he's laying there, he's coming to the stark realization
10:24
Speaker 1: that he didn't tell anyone where he was going. And
10:27
Speaker 1: so if this masked maniac does kill him, who's gonna
10:31
Speaker 1: find his body? Will his family and friends ever know
10:33
Speaker 1: what happened to him. So, as he's laying there thinking
10:36
Speaker 1: of these horrible thoughts, he hears his attacker, who's several
10:40
Speaker 1: feet behind him, start fiddling with what sounds like chains
10:43
Speaker 1: or handcuffs, and Giles thinks to himself, if I get
10:46
Speaker 1: chained up in here, I really am done. And so
10:48
Speaker 1: he has this sudden surge of adrenaline where he thinks
10:51
Speaker 1: to himself, I'm going to get killed in here. I
10:53
Speaker 1: know it. I'm going to get killed. But if I'm
10:55
Speaker 1: gonna die, I'm going to die on my terms. And
10:58
Speaker 1: so Giles takes a deep breath and then jumps to
11:00
Speaker 1: his feet, rips the tape off of his eyes. He
11:03
Speaker 1: turns around and he faces his attacker and he says,
11:06
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna go out
11:08
Speaker 1: this way, and the attacker is totally surprised, but he
11:10
Speaker 1: just begins to raise his gun at Giles to shoot him,
11:14
Speaker 1: and Giles lunges forward and he grabs the barrel of
11:17
Speaker 1: the gun and he pushes it away from him, and
11:20
Speaker 1: as soon as he does that, Giles realizes something. The
11:23
Speaker 1: gun is made of plastic. It's fake, and so Giles
11:26
Speaker 1: is suddenly so confident. He grabs the arms of his
11:29
Speaker 1: attacker and he tries to kick the guy in the legs,
11:32
Speaker 1: but the attacker is so much bigger and stronger than
11:34
Speaker 1: Giles that he just headbuts Giles. Giles goes flying to
11:38
Speaker 1: the ground, and his attacker jumps on top of him
11:40
Speaker 1: and begins punching him and slamming his skull into the ground.
11:43
Speaker 1: But Giles is so high on adrenaline he can't feel
11:46
Speaker 1: any of the blows. All he's trying to do this
11:48
Speaker 1: whole time as he's getting pummeled is just find a
11:51
Speaker 1: way to stand up and run out up this garage,
11:54
Speaker 1: just get out, escape, and amazingly, against all odds, he
11:58
Speaker 1: does manage in between blows to wriggle his way out
12:01
Speaker 1: of the attacker's grasp. But as he begins to run
12:05
Speaker 1: towards that opening in the garage door. The attacker grabs
12:08
Speaker 1: him by the jacket, and so Giles twists himself and
12:11
Speaker 1: he actually comes out of the jacket, and then he
12:13
Speaker 1: throws himself onto the ground and he rolls out of
12:16
Speaker 1: the garage, and as soon as he is free, he
12:19
Speaker 1: suddenly can't stand up. The Stunn baton he didn't feel
12:22
Speaker 1: it before, but it had sapped all of his strength,
12:25
Speaker 1: but the adrenaline had kind of overridden that feeling. But
12:28
Speaker 1: here he is outside and he suddenly can't stand up,
12:31
Speaker 1: and so he's trying to stand up, and then the attacker,
12:34
Speaker 1: who's still inside, dives down, reaches out from underneath the
12:38
Speaker 1: garage and grabs Giles by the ankle and begins trying
12:41
Speaker 1: to pull him back into the garage. And so Giles
12:44
Speaker 1: is kicking and screaming and punching, and he finally breaks free,
12:47
Speaker 1: and then he has another surge of adrenaline and he
12:49
Speaker 1: stands up and just begins running down the alleyway doesn't
12:52
Speaker 1: even go to his car. He just starts running towards
12:54
Speaker 1: Hopefully's civilization, and he makes it a couple of houses
12:57
Speaker 1: before he collapses to the ground and this very busy
13:00
Speaker 1: walking trail, and so he's landed right in this intersection
13:03
Speaker 1: where he's hoping someone's going to be He turns back
13:05
Speaker 1: and looks down the alleyway and he sees his attacker
13:08
Speaker 1: who's now on the road. He's got the mask still
13:11
Speaker 1: on his face and he's charging up the road. Giles
13:14
Speaker 1: can't even get up, he's so tired. But Giles looks
13:17
Speaker 1: to his side and he sees there's this random couple
13:19
Speaker 1: walking down the walking path. They see Giles on the
13:22
Speaker 1: ground who's calling out for help, and they run over
13:24
Speaker 1: to him, and they get right in front of Giles,
13:26
Speaker 1: and Giles immediately points at the attacker coming down the
13:29
Speaker 1: alleyway and says he's trying to kill me, and the attacker,
13:32
Speaker 1: amazingly just jogs right up to Giles, right up to
13:35
Speaker 1: the couple. He does not take his mask off, and
13:38
Speaker 1: he acts like he's friends with Giles and says, Oh,
13:40
Speaker 1: come on, Frank, you're making a big deal out of it.
13:42
Speaker 1: It's a game. Come back to the garage. I'll meet
13:44
Speaker 1: you there. And then the attacker just turns around and
13:47
Speaker 1: walks back down the alleyway back towards his garage and
13:50
Speaker 1: so Giles turns and looks up at the couple, who
13:52
Speaker 1: are totally freaked up by this whole situation. They don't
13:55
Speaker 1: know if this is some weird setup that they're gonna
13:57
Speaker 1: get robbed or something. They don't know if this is
13:59
Speaker 1: a hoax, and so they say, hey, you're on your own, pal,
14:01
Speaker 1: and they turn and they leave, and so Giles is
14:04
Speaker 1: left in the middle of this intersection. The only people
14:06
Speaker 1: that could have helped him are now gone, and so
14:09
Speaker 1: he rolls over and just looks down the alleyway in
14:11
Speaker 1: the direction of the garage, and he can actually see
14:14
Speaker 1: his attacker pacing back and forth inside of the garage
14:18
Speaker 1: because that door is partially open, and so Giles doesn't
14:20
Speaker 1: know what to do. He has to get to his
14:22
Speaker 1: truck to get out of here, and so he just
14:23
Speaker 1: sits there for a couple of seconds, just watching the attacker,
14:26
Speaker 1: making sure he's staying inside of the garage. And then
14:29
Speaker 1: finally he just took a deep breath, he pulled himself up,
14:31
Speaker 1: and he stumbled down the alleyway. He'd got in his truck,
14:34
Speaker 1: fired it up, and he peeled out of there. When
14:35
Speaker 1: Giles got home, he was obviously traumatized from this horrible
14:39
Speaker 1: thing that had just happened to him. But he also
14:41
Speaker 1: felt embarrassed and kind of ashamed that he had clearly
14:44
Speaker 1: just gotten catfished by the psycho in the garage. Obviously, Sheena,
14:49
Speaker 1: the woman he supposedly was talking to, was not real.
14:52
Speaker 1: It was that guy in the garage that had attacked him.
14:54
Speaker 1: But he didn't really understand why it had happened. He
14:58
Speaker 1: had no idea why anyone would tark at him, and
15:01
Speaker 1: so the whole situation was just such a mess. He decided,
15:03
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not going to tell anyone. He
15:05
Speaker 1: didn't report it to the police, he didn't tell his friends,
15:07
Speaker 1: he didn't tell his family. He just decided he was
15:09
Speaker 1: going to move on and forget about it. A week later,
15:12
Speaker 1: on October eighth, another Edmonton man, thirty eight year old
15:15
Speaker 1: Johnny Altinger, was perusing the dating website that Giles had
15:19
Speaker 1: been using. Johnny made a living doing quality control for
15:22
Speaker 1: an oil and gas company, but he hated that job.
15:25
Speaker 1: He much preferred to spend his time tinkering with his
15:27
Speaker 1: computers or his prize motorcycle. Johnny had lots of very
15:31
Speaker 1: close friends, but romance was always something that had eluded him.
15:34
Speaker 1: So that afternoon, Johnny, like Giles, was on this dating
15:38
Speaker 1: website to potentially find a romantic partner. And so as
15:42
Speaker 1: he was scrolling through all of these different women's profiles
15:44
Speaker 1: that lived roughly in his area, he wasn't interested in
15:47
Speaker 1: any of them until he stopped on this one profile
15:50
Speaker 1: of this beautiful, young blonde woman named Jen who lived
15:54
Speaker 1: right in Edmonton, and so Johnny was interested. He sent
15:56
Speaker 1: her a message, and very quickly she wrote back, and
15:59
Speaker 1: before long the tour chumming it up, and then eventually
16:02
Speaker 1: they actually agreed to get together that night for dinner
16:05
Speaker 1: and a movie. But when Johnny asked Jen for her address,
16:09
Speaker 1: she would tell him that she's a paranoid person and
16:11
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to give him her actual address over
16:14
Speaker 1: this website, and so instead she gave him a set
16:18
Speaker 1: of very strange directions that relied on local landmarks in
16:21
Speaker 1: Edmonton to guide him in to her residence. And she
16:25
Speaker 1: would tell Johnny, when you get here, go through the garage.
16:28
Speaker 1: The door will be open, Go out the back door,
16:30
Speaker 1: go into the backyard, make your way up to the
16:32
Speaker 1: back of the house, and I will meet you at
16:34
Speaker 1: the back door. And so Johnny definitely thought these directions
16:37
Speaker 1: were very strange, but he was really eager to meet
16:40
Speaker 1: up with Jen, and so he really didn't care. And
16:41
Speaker 1: so we told Jen it was no big deal. He'd
16:43
Speaker 1: happily follow her directions. And then he hopped in the
16:46
Speaker 1: shower and he got himself together, and then before he
16:49
Speaker 1: left to go to Jen's house, he forwarded Jen's email
16:53
Speaker 1: that included her very strange directions. He sent those directions
16:57
Speaker 1: to one of his very close friends, and he kind
16:59
Speaker 1: of joking included a message that was like, Hey, if
17:02
Speaker 1: I go missing tonight, this is where I'm going. And
17:04
Speaker 1: then Johnny hopped in his car and he left. The
17:06
Speaker 1: directions brought Johnny to the same garage in the same
17:10
Speaker 1: alleyway that Giles had been to a week earlier. And
17:13
Speaker 1: when Johnny came to a stop in front of Jen's
17:15
Speaker 1: two car garage with one of the doors partially open,
17:19
Speaker 1: he saw there were lights still on inside of the garage,
17:21
Speaker 1: and he saw someone walking around inside. And so Johnny
17:24
Speaker 1: looked at his watch and he realized he was maybe
17:26
Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty minutes too early, and so he parks
17:28
Speaker 1: his car and he's thinking, okay, you know, Jen might
17:31
Speaker 1: be inside of this garage and I'm early, but maybe
17:33
Speaker 1: I'll just walk over and say hi to her. I'm
17:35
Speaker 1: sure she wouldn't mind. And so Johnny turns off his car,
17:37
Speaker 1: he gets out, and he starts walking over to this
17:40
Speaker 1: half open garage door, and as he gets closer and closer,
17:43
Speaker 1: the lights in the garage go off, and so Johnny
17:46
Speaker 1: stops and he's thinking, why the lights opped it? Did
17:48
Speaker 1: she hear me? Does she not want me to come in?
17:50
Speaker 1: You know what's going on? But he's thinking, okay, well,
17:52
Speaker 1: I should definitely go over and say something, and so
17:55
Speaker 1: he walks over to this open garage door and he
17:58
Speaker 1: bends down and he looks inside and it's totally dark,
18:00
Speaker 1: and he just says hello, and there's a pause, and
18:03
Speaker 1: then the lights come on, and Johnny suddenly sees this
18:06
Speaker 1: garage that's basically devoid of anything minus a table off
18:10
Speaker 1: to the side, and every surface is covered in plastic sheeting,
18:14
Speaker 1: the floors, the walls, the ceiling, everything, And in the
18:16
Speaker 1: back of the garage is not Jen instead, it's this
18:20
Speaker 1: man he doesn't recognize, and so Johnny's looking at this
18:23
Speaker 1: man and this man is looking over at Johnny, and
18:26
Speaker 1: finally the man speaks and says, Hi, I'm Harry. I'm
18:30
Speaker 1: a designer. I rent this garage out from Jen, and
18:34
Speaker 1: I actually I just talked to Jen and you're meeting
18:36
Speaker 1: up with her tonight, right, you're meet up with Gen. Yeah,
18:39
Speaker 1: she's running late, so I think she'll be back in
18:41
Speaker 1: about maybe twenty minutes. So can you come back in
18:44
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, come right back here, come to the garage
18:47
Speaker 1: and I'll bring you up to the house because I
18:48
Speaker 1: know you're meeting her up of the house. So twenty minutes.
18:51
Speaker 1: And so Johnny doesn't really know what to make of this.
18:53
Speaker 1: He figures, Okay, I don't really know what Jen's arrangement
18:56
Speaker 1: is with this designer in this plastic covered garage, but
19:00
Speaker 1: you know whatever, And so Johnny says, Okay, no problem,
19:02
Speaker 1: I'll come back in twenty minutes. And so Johnny turns
19:04
Speaker 1: around and he walks back to his car, and he
19:06
Speaker 1: leaves and drives around for about twenty minutes, and then
19:09
Speaker 1: he comes back to the garage and as soon as
19:11
Speaker 1: he parks, he notices right away the light in the
19:14
Speaker 1: garage is now off, so presumably Harry has actually left,
19:18
Speaker 1: and so he will not be available to walk Johnny
19:20
Speaker 1: up to the house to meet Jen. But Johnny was thinking,
19:23
Speaker 1: I don't really want to interact with Harry. He seems
19:25
Speaker 1: like a strange guy anyways, and so he counts this
19:28
Speaker 1: as a win, and so Johnny parks his car, he
19:30
Speaker 1: hops out, he walks over to the garage, He bends
19:33
Speaker 1: down and goes inside of the garage. He stands up,
19:35
Speaker 1: and he walks across the plastic line floor to the
19:38
Speaker 1: door that's going to lead out into Jen's backyard. But
19:41
Speaker 1: before he reaches that door, something smashes into the back
19:45
Speaker 1: of his head, and immediately Johnny is horribly dazed, and
19:48
Speaker 1: he instinctively throws his hands up to protect his head,
19:51
Speaker 1: and he begins spinning around trying to figure out who
19:54
Speaker 1: or what had just hit him. And as soon as
19:56
Speaker 1: he turns around, he sees in the shadows is the
19:59
Speaker 1: figure of none other than the man he saw before, Harry,
20:03
Speaker 1: and Harry is holding a big metal pipe, and immediately
20:06
Speaker 1: when Johnny sees him, he begins screaming, please, please, police,
20:10
Speaker 1: and Harry just winds up and wails on Johnny with
20:13
Speaker 1: this metal pipe, and Johnny's trying to turn around and
20:16
Speaker 1: get away from Harry, but Harry just keeps moving around
20:19
Speaker 1: him and beating him with this pipe until finally Johnny
20:22
Speaker 1: collapses on the ground, but he's not unconscious, and so
20:25
Speaker 1: Johnny is kind of shielding his head and he's looking
20:27
Speaker 1: up at Harry, who's now just standing over him. He
20:30
Speaker 1: ceased his initial barrage, and Johnny begins pleading with Harry,
20:34
Speaker 1: I'll give you money, I'll give you anything, just please
20:36
Speaker 1: let me go. And so Harry smiles and he says,
20:39
Speaker 1: you promise you won't tell anyone if I let you go.
20:42
Speaker 1: But before Johnny could answer this, Harry winds up with
20:45
Speaker 1: his pipe and he brings it crashing down on Johnny's face,
20:48
Speaker 1: But amazingly, this does not knock Johnny unconscious. Instead, Johnny
20:54
Speaker 1: grabs the pipe after it hits him in the head
20:56
Speaker 1: and he holds onto it to prevent Harry from hitting
20:58
Speaker 1: him again. So at this point, Harry is frustrated that
21:01
Speaker 1: Johnny is still putting up this huge fight, and so
21:04
Speaker 1: with one hand holding onto this pipe that Johnny has
21:07
Speaker 1: the other end of, Harry reaches down with his other
21:09
Speaker 1: hand and he unsheathes a hunting knife and he holds
21:13
Speaker 1: the blade right in front of Johnny's face, and as
21:15
Speaker 1: soon as Johnny sees this knife, his eyes go wide
21:17
Speaker 1: and he lets go of the pipe and he begins
21:19
Speaker 1: to plead for his life, but Harry just smiles and
21:22
Speaker 1: continues to show him the blade, and then at some
21:24
Speaker 1: point he grabs Johnny's shoulder, he pulls the knife back,
21:27
Speaker 1: and he plunges it into Johnny's stomach. Johnny howls out
21:31
Speaker 1: in pain, and he curls over and he begins screaming
21:33
Speaker 1: for the police, screaming for someone to help him. And
21:35
Speaker 1: then finally Harry pulls the knife out of his stomach
21:38
Speaker 1: and then plunges it into the side of Johnny's neck.
21:41
Speaker 1: And then Harry lets go of the knife and he
21:43
Speaker 1: stands up and he just watches Johnny as he bleeds
21:45
Speaker 1: out onto the plastic lining. As Harry watched Johnny die,
21:49
Speaker 1: he had this pang of regret. He thought to himself,
21:52
Speaker 1: why didn't I play more mind games with him before
21:55
Speaker 1: I killed him back? I'll do that with the next one.
21:57
Speaker 1: After Johnny died, Harry would dismember and bag up Johnny's body,
22:01
Speaker 1: and then he would roll up all of the plastic
22:04
Speaker 1: from the walls and the ceiling he'd gathered that all up,
22:06
Speaker 1: and then a couple of days later he would dump
22:08
Speaker 1: both Johnny's body parts and all of the plastic containing
22:12
Speaker 1: all of the evidence down a nearby sewer drain. At
22:15
Speaker 1: this point in the story, Mark's script just kind of
22:17
Speaker 1: comes to an abrupt end. We don't know what Harry
22:20
Speaker 1: did after getting rid of Johnny's body and the evidence,
22:22
Speaker 1: because Mark just didn't write it. It was like he
22:24
Speaker 1: didn't finish the script. And there's a reason for that,
22:27
Speaker 1: and it's the same reason the police stepped in and
22:30
Speaker 1: stopped Mark from making this script into a movie. At
22:33
Speaker 1: the time they read his script, the police had already
22:35
Speaker 1: figured out who owned the garage where Giles and Johnny
22:39
Speaker 1: were attacked. Johnny's friend, the one who Johnny had forwarded
22:43
Speaker 1: Jen's email that had those strange directions, well, that friend
22:47
Speaker 1: gave those directions to the police once Johnny had been
22:50
Speaker 1: reported missing. And so the police followed these strange directions
22:54
Speaker 1: to this garage, and they discovered it was not owned
22:58
Speaker 1: by some young, beautiful blonde named Jen or Sheena. It
23:02
Speaker 1: was not owned by some designer named Harry. It was
23:05
Speaker 1: owned by a young, up and coming filmmaker named Mark Twitchell.
23:10
Speaker 1: But to this point Mark had been extremely cooperative with
23:14
Speaker 1: police and allowed them to search it, and they found nothing,
23:17
Speaker 1: and he explained to them he was not remotely the
23:20
Speaker 1: only person with access to this garage, not by a
23:22
Speaker 1: long shot. But when police searched Mark's laptop, they found
23:27
Speaker 1: a hidden document, and this document was his forty two
23:30
Speaker 1: page script, and when they read it, they saw there
23:33
Speaker 1: was a huge issue. Giles, the first victim of the
23:37
Speaker 1: Edmonton Killer, had eventually gotten over his embarrassment and shame
23:42
Speaker 1: and he went to the Edmonton Police and he told
23:44
Speaker 1: them in detail what happened to him inside of that garage.
23:49
Speaker 1: But Giles was so scared he had not told anybody
23:52
Speaker 1: else what had happened. The only people who knew were
23:55
Speaker 1: himself and the Edmonton Police. Yet somehow, in Mark's script
24:00
Speaker 1: the account of what happened to Giles was exactly correct.
24:05
Speaker 1: Every little detail of what happened to Giles was encompassed
24:09
Speaker 1: inside of the script. And the reason Mark had this
24:12
Speaker 1: information is because Mark was in the garage when Giles
24:16
Speaker 1: got attacked. Because Mark was the Edmonton Killer. Mark had
24:21
Speaker 1: been so desperate to make his killer in his new
24:24
Speaker 1: movie as good as Dexter in the TV show that
24:28
Speaker 1: Mark decided he needed to literally become Dexter in real life.
24:33
Speaker 1: He needed to know exactly what it felt like to
24:36
Speaker 1: lure an unsuspecting victim into a kill room and murder
24:40
Speaker 1: them so that he'd be able to more accurately write
24:44
Speaker 1: about it in his script. He believed this would put
24:47
Speaker 1: his movie over the top. It would be the most
24:49
Speaker 1: authentic killer movie ever, and it would be his ticket
24:52
Speaker 1: to Hollywood. And so after Mark used a fake dating
24:56
Speaker 1: profile to trap and then attack Giles, after that experience,
25:00
Speaker 1: he wrote about it and that became his script. And
25:04
Speaker 1: then when he did the same thing to Johnny and
25:06
Speaker 1: then actually successfully killed and disposed of him, he sat
25:10
Speaker 1: down and wrote about that experience too, and tacked it
25:12
Speaker 1: onto the end of the Giles attack. He was literally
25:15
Speaker 1: living his movie and writing the script in real time.
25:19
Speaker 1: The title that Mark gave his script was SK Confessions,
25:24
Speaker 1: which stood for Serial Killer Confessions, and that's exactly what
25:27
Speaker 1: the script was. It was a real confession. And based
25:31
Speaker 1: on the way his script just kind of abruptly ends
25:34
Speaker 1: without any sort of conclusion, it seems fairly obvious that
25:38
Speaker 1: Mark was planning to kill more people and then incorporate
25:42
Speaker 1: those experiences into this script. Ultimately, though, the script that
25:46
Speaker 1: was found by police was used to convict Mark of
25:49
Speaker 1: murder and he is currently serving life in prison, So
25:52
Speaker 1: that's going to do it. Guys. If you got something
