Info
Mark Twitchell is a Canadian murderer convicted in 2011 for the murder of Johnny Altinger. Twitchell (like BTK) aspired to be a serial killer and his arrest drew considerable attention from the press because of his admitted obsessesion with the character of Dexter Morgan from Showtime’s serial killer thriller, Dexter, a serial killer that uses his position in the Miami Metro forensics department to hunt and murder other criminals.
Twitchell’s first attempt at murder failed when he attempted to lure a man named Gilles Tetreault to a location that Twitchell was using for a film set. Gilles managed to escape when Twitchell’s plan to incapacitate him with a stun gun failed.
Twitchell managed to succeed in his second attempt when he used the same tactic to lure Altinger to the same filming location under the false premise that Altinger was there to meet a woman for a date. Twitchell’s shoddy job of covering up his crime was further compounded on his arrest when police found a document called SK Confessions wherein Twitchell detailed his plans for murder.
