Original subtitles

25-year-old Kevin Bacon is a hopeless romantic...

...looking for that someone special in his small Midwestern town.

Kevin wanted to be someone's person,

but he got friend-zoned a lot.

So, until Prince Charming shows up,

he turns to dating apps for that feeling of connection.

Kevin would meet them, maybe hook up multiple times,

and then that was it.

But when Kevin doesn't come home...

Why is his clothing in the car?

...the secrets kept hidden in his phone...

He asked, "Am I gonna be safe?"

...just might link his search for love

to the search for a killer.

I know that there is real, true evil out there,

and this was an example of that.

She solved her own murder from beyond the grave.

The fitness app on the phone.

It was overwhelming evidence.

♪ I've been haunted by the visions ♪

♪ That I've seen with my own eyes ♪

♪ And the only way to find you ♪

♪ Is to go beneath the lies ♪

She did help catch this killer.

♪ I wanna take you to this place I know ♪

♪ I wanna take you to... ♪

It's Christmas Eve 2019 in Swartz Creek, Michigan.

♪ I wanna take you to this place I know ♪

While this quaint rural village

in the shadow of Flint, Michigan, is celebrating the season,

25-year-old hairdresser Kevin Bacon walks out his front door

and vanishes.

His roommate, Michelle, is the first to realize that something is up.

My name is Michelle Meyers.

I was Kevin's best friend, roommate, confidante.

When I woke up in the morning, I got a call and a text from his sister,

who had asked where Kevin was.

Since it was Christmas morning,

he was supposed to have breakfast with his family.

This is unlike Kevin to not show up on Christmas morning,

and to not text me anything and let me know,

like, where he is.

I called several times and got no answer.

Kevin was super punctual, so him not being there,

I was a little bit, you know, weirded out.

Kevin's connection to Michelle and his family is strong,

and if he isn't answering either of them,

something must be up.

So, as the afternoon passes with still no word from Kevin,

his worried parents call police.

I'm Detective Sergeant Joshua Dirkse.

I work for the Michigan State Police out of the Flint post.

Metro Police Department took the original missing person report

and started the investigation looking into potentially where he could be.

Who his associates are, who he had been talking to, where he had gone.

Investigators don't know much about Kevin,

but they do know the holidays are tough.

Kevin could have voluntarily disappeared for a little while.

People do that all the time, especially around the holidays.

They just, they need to get away.

All police know is that Kevin is an adult

who didn't show up for breakfast.

That's not necessarily a cause for concern,

but Kevin's loved ones just know there's something wrong.

♪ Chasing shadows out our windows... ♪

I've known Kevin since he moved to Swartz Creek in 4th grade.

We knew each other, we were friends, and kind of hit it off more

as we got into middle school.

And then, by the time we graduated, we were, like, best friends.

♪ Chasing shadows ♪

He was just like, I don't wanna say weird, but like, the good kind of weird.

Like, I'm weird, and he's weird,

so we just clicked in our weirdness together.

He was an all-around just bright light that, you know, everybody really needed.

Kevin was one of my best friends.

Kevin was tall, bald...

and always had nails and makeup on.

He cared about the way he looked,

and I think that he liked making other people feel that same way.

He was big on tattoos, and he had some beautiful artwork.

"Beauty killer" across his chest,

'cause that was Jeffree Star's cosmetic line.

He had a couple Taylor Swift ones

and a couple of Lady Gaga ones also.

Man, I'm like, "I'm so jealous! I haven't gotten a tattoo in, like, two years!

I don't have the money anymore." He's like, "I don't either, but...

it makes me feel good."

He had a really big personality.

He was a lot of fun. Big heart, too.

Anything you needed help with, he was there.

Kevin may have been smiling on the outside,

but inside, he often struggled with his sexuality

and his search for connections with others.

♪ Breathing in, breathing out ♪

In high school, even if I think he knew deep down that "I'm gay,"

I don't think he felt like he could even admit it to himself.

And we, like, tried to make him feel comfortable about that.

Finding acceptance with your friends is one thing.

-Finding someone to share

the rest of your life with is something else.

And he often discussed the struggle with his good friend, LeRae.

Kevin was looking for love. He wanted to be in a relationship.

Kevin wanted to be someone's person.

He would put all of his feelings out there,

but they were never returned from the other side.

If that lasting connection is out of reach,

at least there are plenty of guys eager for a hookup on the dating apps.

He got friend-zoned a lot, so then he would go look

for a quick fix on one of the sites.

The last time Michelle saw Kevin,

he was getting ready for a hot date with a new guy.

A lot of people do date online.

And by the time Kevin moved in with me,

he was pretty comfortable meeting men on the dating apps.

♪ Coming for you, coming for you, coming for you, coming for you ♪

Kevin would meet them, they'd hook up,

maybe they'd chat, maybe sometimes befriend each other,

or they'd maybe hook up multiple times, and then that was it.

All Michelle knows is that Kevin was going

to meet someone on Christmas Eve.

She has no idea who that is.

Kevin told me he was going to meet with a guy in Swartz Creek.

He just said, "Hey, I'm going to meet with this guy,

and I'll be back later."

This is where Kevin was last seen.

We had a Nest Doorbell

that captured footage of him leaving our house.

He went straight to his car, and then-- and that was it.

Kevin's parents know he's gay,

but they don't know about his online dating habits.

And Kevin wants to keep it that way.

But it's now been nearly 20 hours since Michelle last heard from him,

and she feels she has no choice.

It put me in a very tight spot

because I don't know how to say that he was meeting up

with a stranger online and hooking up with them,

because his-- at this point, like, his--

his family didn't know any of that stuff at all.

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.

Michelle puts Kevin's safety before his secrets.

So, I texted Kevin, and I just told him,

"I'm really sorry, but I don't have a choice."

♪ There's no turning back now ♪

"I'm gonna have to tell them that you've met

with a stranger and some details about your lifestyle."

♪ There's no turning back now ♪

Kevin's father, Carl, rushes over to Michelle's

to find out what she knows.

I told Kevin's dad he was meeting with somebody

on a dating app for a hookup.

He didn't really know about Kevin being more sexually active.

It was kind of like an awkward conversation, I guess.

Michelle tells police about Kevin's mystery hookup, too.

And they get to work figuring out who he is.

But at the moment, they're more focused on Kevin's past

and his history of self-harm.

We knew that he had struggled with some depression

and had suicidal ideations.

You know, a lot of times, holidays can bring that on.

Kevin's struggles with depression

are something his friends are all too aware of.

I remember in early high school, I would look at Kevin,

and I'd see marks on his arms from cutting.

We would ask Kevin if he had been seeing a therapist

or if that was a possibility.

And it was difficult

because just money was tight financially

for him and his family.

It all boils over into a suicide attempt in 2018.

Kevin sent me a text. He had cut himself quite bad.

And then, he did tell me that he had overdosed.

And then, his mother contacted me

and told me that he was admitted to the hospital.

Alarm bells go off for investigators.

Did Kevin's depression take over again?

We are trying to follow up. There's been no indication

that anything tragic has happened to Kevin.

Kevin did in the past suffer

from some mental health struggles and had been suicidal.

While detectives are working through all potential leads,

they get an unexpected call from Kevin's parents.

They've been driving around town looking for Kevin themselves

and they just found something troubling.

Kevin Bacon's vehicle was found by his parents

in the strip mall on Miller Road,

approximately a mile and a half from his residence.

What the investigators discover inside the car

turns this holiday into a horror.

25-year-old Kevin Bacon goes missing on Christmas Day.

His history of self-harm has his family and friends worried,

and the discovery of his car in a strip mall parking lot

does little to ease their minds.

His parents were concerned,

so they started driving around.

Because it's Christmas,

all these parking lots are vacant at these stores.

So, his car kinda stuck out like a sore thumb.

And his mom pulled in and saw the car, reported it to police.

Shortly after his vehicle was found,

the police responded to there,

and went through Kevin's vehicle.

What's inside is shocking and confusing.

His wallet, his keys,

and his neatly folded clothes.

Why is his clothing in the car, and where is he?

The clothes match what Kevin was wearing

when last seen on his home cam.

It was just getting worse, 'cause it's like,

Kevin wouldn't leave his clothes and everything behind.

If Kevin committed self-harm,

why would he leave his clothes?

But more concerning is the discovery

that Kevin left his cell phone in the car as well.

That's really alarming, because in today's age,

most people carry their cell phones on them.

Why is Kevin's phone in the car?

It's Christmas in Michigan,

and he couldn't have wandered off far in the cold.

The police search the area and come up empty,

so they turn to his phone for clues

and any insight into Kevin's life it may provide.

Having the phone would help.

You can see who he's been talking to, leading up to him going missing.

But of course, Kevin's phone has a passcode.

Investigators need a warrant and a forensic expert to unlock it.

And that's gonna take time.

But time is not a luxury they have.

So, investigators turn to Kevin's friends for help.

Kevin's car was found here,

and then the, the detectives called us down here.

Until we found the car, I was kind of-- I was kind of feeling like

there was still a chance that maybe he was just somewhere.

But actually seeing the car and Kevin's clothes

and everything in there,

things started to feel

that something had really had gone wrong.

I remember the-- So, the detective approached me with Kevin's phone.

And then I said that, "I think I know the code.

I'm pretty certain I can unlock it."

They handed me the phone over.

I put in passcode.

And it worked, first try.

Once the passcode was correctly accessed

and his phone was unlocked, the phone was transferred

to the Computer Crime Scene unit of the Michigan State Police.

While investigators pick apart Kevin's phone for clues,

Michelle conducts her own investigation with Kevin's dad.

They go through his computer,

hoping they can find the identity of his Christmas hookup.

Christmas night, we were up pretty much all night

just trying to log in on everything.

I had, like, some of his emails and passwords.

Kevin's dad also had some passwords to try,

like, just to see if we could get in on his laptop,

potentially get on iMessage

and try to see anything from there.

We got into pretty much every dating app that Kevin had.

The messages are either

nothing or very little, or it had nothing to do with the meetup.

We could not find anything.

It was hard because, you know, my thought was that

wherever he is, he's in a bad situation.

Michelle isn't waiting for the police

to figure out where Kevin is or who he's with.

She starts compiling her own list of men Kevin has dated.

Kevin met with a lot of married men

that did not want their families knowing

about what they were doing.

And she remembers one with whom Kevin seemed to have a special connection.

Kevin had been meeting with a guy named Chad.

He had met with him multiple times,

and it got to become a more emotional relationship.

♪ How will we know it's time ♪

Kevin's dream was, you know, to find a partner,

um, find a man that he could marry.

♪ I try to heal ♪

I think Kevin wanted for them to be, like, official,

or something at some point.

They had a great time,

and I guess Kevin had asked, like, if they-- what they were.

And he was like, "Oh, I just look at you like a friend."

Kevin was crushed.

But now, Michelle can't help but wonder

if somehow Chad was back in Kevin's life.

It might have something to do with whatever happened to Kevin.

Michelle shares the name with investigators.

We were able to, to get a name of a person.

Now, we can start investigating who that person is.

It's now almost two days since Kevin went missing.

And as investigators consider the different men in Kevin's life,

his phone gives them their first lead

on the identity of his mysterious Christmas hookup.

Kevin had taken screenshots

of a chat log of a dating app that Kevin had used.

And what was found was that Kevin was communicating

with a male, and the messages between them

appeared to show that Kevin and this unidentified male

were gonna meet up on Christmas Eve.

The screenshots confirm that Kevin was going on a date.

Not with Chad, but with someone new and anonymous.

And they reveal that even Kevin was concerned

that this meetup might go horribly wrong.

Kevin asked the male, "You're gonna keep me safe, correct?"

Now the race is on to find out who this mysterious person is...

...before his family's worst nightmare comes true.

25-year-old Kevin Bacon is looking for a special connection.

But right now, his friends and family are looking for him

after he goes missing on Christmas morning.

♪ Your fall is mine ♪

But investigators just got access to his phone,

and screenshots Kevin took hint that he was so concerned for his safety.

♪ You'll never know ♪

Kevin's text messages were pretty specific,

pretty detailed.

They were talking about role-play

that was gonna happen between him

and this individual from the dating app that he was talking with.

They were talking about taking clothes off,

having nothing with him, none of his belongings,

leaving it in his car, locking it up,

and then getting in the vehicle with this other individual.

It's all part of the pre-meetup ritual

that's part of the BDSM lifestyle.

My name is Rachel Prenzler.

I'm an outpatient therapist.

The majority of my clients are queer or trans, LGBTQ+.

And also, I see a lot of non-normative relationships,

so polyamorous, BDSM, kink.

Kevin was looking for a connection, but also fulfilling a fantasy,

a sexual encounter based on a fantasy.

When I was reading that text, there were no red flags,

and you know, I could have saw myself in that situation.

It's all about trust and consent.

We call it playing with someone, right? Or setting up a scene.

So, before you do that, you have to sit down with each other

and talk about, like, your boundaries, right?

Like, what are you wanting to get out of this?

So, it's very planned out.

Then, the screenshots give investigators their first real lead --

a profile photo and a name of the guy Kevin was meeting.

His nickname on this mobile app was Olykos.

Kevin asked him...

"You're gonna keep me safe, correct?"

And Olykos indicated that yes, he would keep him safe.

It's a huge lead.

But like most things online,

Olykos probably isn't this guy's real name.

And it doesn't appear on any police database.

Who is he? Where is he?

And does he know anything about where Kevin is?

For answers, investigators turn to the screenshot image

of Olykos on Kevin's phone.

With that information,

in trying to identify who Olykos was,

the Computer Crimes Unit sent the image of Olykos

to our facial recognition unit in Lansing.

One thing's for sure, he isn't Chad,

or any of the other men whose names Michelle had given to the investigators.

It was definitely a race against time.

We needed to decipher who he was talking to.

Michelle isn't going to wait around

for the police to solve Kevin's case.

I put together a search party with his family.

We had several news stations,

and the posts had gotten, I guess viral, in a sense.

Time is of essence. If Kevin's alive somewhere,

and he's obviously in an unsafe situation,

we need to work fast.

♪ Walk away ♪

So, this is the park where we kind of all met and gathered.

We had about 80 to 100 people coming out,

uh, just to kind of break apart into as many groups as possible

and cover as much ground as possible.

Right here.

♪ I write that song, that song ♪

♪ Always something, something ♪

Like, I could just remember, you know, looking over,

making sure there was nothing in the river,

or just looking through trees,

trying to find some little symbol that he was in this area.

But we honestly-- we never came up with anything.

The search may have come up empty,

but the social media buzz pays off.

♪ They're coming out ♪

That night, Michelle gets some unexpected information

that raises even more red flags.

♪ Don't let them catch you ♪

I got a message from one of my friends saying,

"Hey, there's been an individual in our town.

"They've had people escape their basement. It was in the news.

Like, this guy's really strange."

♪ Too late to think ♪

And it was a screenshot of a conversation

between two people,

and they were discussing this weird stuff

has been happening at this guy's house. What if?

And they sent a screenshot of his Facebook profile.

The incident the tipster is referring to

just happened four weeks earlier,

and not very far from where Kevin lives.

The responding officer that night was Robert Viviano.

My name is Detective Trooper Robert Viviano.

I'm a detective with the State Police.

I'm currently on an undercover assignment

for the State Police right now.

In 2019, I was assigned to Shiawassee County.

It's kind of more of a rural area.

Lots of farms.

In November of 2019,

a call came over the radio

that someone was running down the road,

wearing a kilt, covered in blood,

and was knocking on people's doors, yelling for help.

We made contact with this individual

who said that he had escaped from this house...

...pointed out the house,

and said that he had been held captive.

We made contact with this individual at this house,

who turned out to be a gentleman by the name of Mark Latunski.

And he was also dressed in nothing but a kilt,

a leather kilt, which we found strange.

After talking to Mark and this subject

that had quote-unquote "escaped" from this house...

we thought it was some type of sexual role-play kinda gone bad.

Someone got scared and ran outta the house kind of thing,

which is kinda how Mark described it.

So, we just kinda took it at that. Nobody wanted to press charges.

There's nothing else that we could really do

other than document it and kinda leave it at that.

The incident is about 10 miles away

from where Kevin's car was found.

As Michelle learns more about it from her online tipsters,

her heart begins to race.

I was going 100 miles an hour, and I can't think of anything else.

What if this ends up being the person that did it?

So, I gave the screenshot of the profile to the detectives.

With this new information,

the detectives start investigating Latunski

and discover this isn't the first scary incident

reported at his house.

A man known only as James had a similar terrifying journey.

A person named James had been to that house

in the fall of 2019,

had been to the house with Latunski.

They had different role-play and scenes they had.

But at one point, it went too far.

And James was scared,

thought that Latunski was gonna hurt him,

thought he was being held against his will,

was able to escape at one point.

Running down the road, calling 911, asking for help.

When the police learn the full extent

of James' troubling tale,

they fear that Kevin may have met a similar fate.

It's been three days since Kevin left his house on Christmas Eve.

He was looking for love, or at least something like it,

and hasn't been seen since.

But thanks to screenshots Kevin took of a conversation

that he saved on his phone,

investigators know who he was meeting up with on Christmas Eve.

Now, police wonder if this man, known only as Olykos,

might be a sexual predator

who has been stalking other victims,

including a man named James just four weeks earlier.

When Michigan State Police catch up to James,

he's shaken, but unharmed.

♪ I see your evil ♪

James was very adamant that he didn't wanna pursue criminal charges,

if there was anything criminal that had happened.

James was embarrassed,

said, "I came here on my own free will. I wanted to be here."

♪ Your wicked ways ♪

"I just wanna leave. I just want to get outta here."

So, he did.

As investigators race to learn all they can about Mark Latunski's past,

the results from the facial recognition lab come in.

The Michigan State Police facial recognition unit,

they were able to obtain the probe image, as it's called, of Olykos.

And they take that probe image, and they put it into

the facial recognition software.

And the software gave an investigative lead,

which doesn't mean it's 100% this person.

But in this case, their lead was Mark David Latunski.

Suddenly, it all comes together.

The man who the tipster had warned Michelle about,

the man who two potential victims had escaped from,

and the man on Kevin's phone are now all one and the same:

Mark David Latunski.

So, with that, that was the next logical person

-for them to go see or talk to.

Was, "Hey, you've been talking to Kevin.

Do you know where he's at?"

Trooper Viviano gets the call again.

It's only been a month since he last saw Latunski.

Mark answers the door,

shirtless, wearing a leather kilt,

and holding a little dog with a pink bow in its hair.

It reminded me of the movie Silence of the Lambs,

where that particular serial killer, Buffalo Bill,

had a little dog with a bow in its hair.

And it was kinda surreal.

It was odd.

And he goes, "Oh hey, Trooper, how you doing?"

And I kind of explained to him, like,

"Hey, we're looking for someone who went missing.

His name's Kevin Bacon. Do you know him?"

And he just kinda went, "Mm, no. Never heard of him."

"Hey, do you mind if we come in and search the house,

"check the house real quick, just to make sure everything's good

and no one's here?" And he just paused,

and waved me in and said, "Sure, come on in."

I was thinking Kevin was probably here at Mark's house,

and it was probably that they were hooking up.

They met on a dating app, so he didn't want anyone to know

what he was doing, like, that kind of thing.

That's what I thought.

I'm like, okay, he's gonna be here, sitting in the kitchen, whatever,

or in the living room, you know, and they're just hanging out.

We searched the first floor.

Don't find anything remarkable,

nothing that kinda piques our interest.

We go upstairs, search the upstairs where Mark's bedroom is.

There's Viking swords and helmets.

Nothing that spoke crime.

We make our way to the basement.

And I kinda was looking on the ground, and there's a miter saw,

and there's fresh-cut wood and sawdust.

So, I put my hand on the wall

thinking that I was gonna touch this wall and it would be cold to the touch,

like your basement walls, but it was room temperature.

So, I thought that was very odd.

So, I push on it, and it gives a little bit.

Then I push on it again, and it popped open.

And it was kinda like a secret door, and it swung open.

I peered into the opening, and I exclaimed, "Oh, my God!"

It was just a crazy horror movie that I was in the middle of.

Three days after he goes missing,

investigators are looking for Kevin Bacon at the house

of a potential predator.

But even they aren't prepared for what they are about to find.

At first, I didn't think it was real.

That's not real.

It's like a dummy or something that's fake, you know?

And then, my sensibility got the best of me,

and I was like, "Oh no, it's real."

I've never seen anything like that.

I'm still shocked to this day that we found him like that.

My partner's head is peering around the corner from the top of the stairs,

kinda like giving me like a "What's going on?" kinda thing.

So, I look up at him, and I give him the universal sign that we use

for cuff somebody up, put handcuffs on him.

I go up to my sergeant.

I said, "Sarge, he's in there."

"Oh good, you found him?"

"No, Sarge, he's dead.

He's hanging from the ceiling in the basement."

Detectives Moore and Dirkse meet Trooper Viviano at the scene

and take Latunski back to the station.

Mark told us that he did know Kevin

through the dating app,

that Kevin had approached him

about consensual sexual activity.

Kevin was gonna act as if he was kidnapped, and Latunski facilitated that.

That was part of the role-play.

As he's being led into the house

and down into the basement,

once they went into this room,

the sexual activity occurred.

Mark stated that he stabbed Kevin

in the back of the neck with a knife.

He then used the rope to hoist Kevin up by his ankles.

You're not prepared to hear the things that he was telling us,

but we have to keep our emotions in check.

Latunski admits to killing Kevin,

but he insists that it wasn't a murder.

Mark told us after the sexual activity occurred,

that Kevin wanted Mark to kill him,

to end his life.

Latunski thought, you know, in his mind, this was an assisted suicide.

What in the world, you know?

What is this guy all about?

...160 pounds.

There's no doubt in my mind, there's no doubt in anybody else's mind

that Kevin did not want to die.

He did not go into this looking to commit suicide.

♪ My eyes closed ♪

Kevin had mentioned in the text messages

that he wanted to make sure that he was gonna be safe.

He asked, "Am I gonna be safe?"

♪ Won't you leave my mind? ♪

He expected to be home with his family for Christmas.

At the end of the interview, he wanted to know when he was going home.

And we ended up breaking it to him. "Sorry, you're going to jail.

You're not going home."

"You're being arrested for the murder of Kevin Bacon."

I've dealt with a wide range of different people throughout my career.

There's usually a little bit of humanness and a little bit of...

remorse most of the time.

But there was nothing.

He didn't think anything he did was wrong,

which was hard to understand.

Investigators finally know the grisly truth

and are burdened with informing his loved ones.

I mean, parents aren't supposed to bury their kids,

let alone in this fashion.

So, to see them and to see their reaction was kind of heartbreaking.

The social media world now turns

from searching for Kevin to mourning him.

And when Kevin's personal idol hears about the tragedy,

he reaches out to help.

I'm so devastated for the Bacon family.

Um...

I don't know.

Here is sweet Kevin, and I want you guys

to, um, be able to link to his GoFundMe.

So, if you guys wanna swipe up.

Kevin, I love you.

He had a really beautiful, beautiful service.

And honestly, a lot of that, thanks to Jeffree Star,

and all of the followers, 'cause they donated the 20K.

It was just so good to see, you know,

so many people out to just make sure he was done right.

I'm Scott Koerner, the elected prosecutor

of Shiawassee County.

Latunski's initial defense counsel filed

what's called the notice of insanity defense,

which means that if he was found insane,

he would not be responsible for the crime.

That leads to two and a half years of legal motions,

competency evaluations, and psychiatric hospitalizations.

He was aware of what he was doing.

We had internet searches

that were taking place the night before

about a certain type of knife.

We have receipts from the Home Depot

where Latunski went and purchased that knife

just prior to the murder, the night before.

And then, we had his confession.

So, we felt confident there was a lot of evidence.

As to premeditated murder, Mr. Latunski,

it is the sentence of this court

that you serve out the remainder of your life

in the Michigan Department of Corrections,

without the possibility of parole.

♪ Deep down, you go ♪

But it don't bring Kevin back,

but at least now, we got some type of closure.

♪ And though you wonder ♪

Kevin was murdered in someone's basement

by a person that he trusted.

He was missing this aspect that he wanted of, like, a long-term connection,

and I think he didn't know what could happen.

♪ And the ghosts are gone ♪

While Latunski's conviction is a small comfort to Kevin's family,

law enforcement believes that the screenshots he took

led them to a budding serial killer.

To them, Kevin is a hero.

Kevin probably saved a lot of lives.

Had Kevin not taken those screenshots,

we don't know how quickly Mark would have been identified

as a person of interest.

And it is very likely that Kevin's body may never have been found.

It cost him his life,

but we got a true predator off the streets

and put in prison in Latunski,

all thanks to Kevin.

He's kind of always in the back of my head,

like, almost to make sure that I'm still kind of a good person.

I just wanna make sure that I do him proud up there.
