Episode Details

A Michigan man, Mark Latunski, has been sentenced to life without parole for the brutal, premeditated murder of 25-year-old Kevin Bacon — a crime so chilling it’s being called “cold calculation” by the judge. The two met on Grindr over Christmas 2019; Latunski lured Bacon to his home, where he hung his body in the basement and consumed parts of it — even discussing turning Bacon’s muscles into jerky. Bacon vanished on Christmas Eve after telling a roommate he was meeting someone from the app; his family reported him missing the next day. Investigators described the scene as the most harrowing of their careers. Though Latunski claimed he didn’t plan to kill, prosecutors proved otherwise. He pleaded guilty to open murder in 2020 — a first in Shiawassee County — and received a concurrent sentence for disinterment and mutilation. His stoic demeanor during sentencing only deepened the horror.
