From Cat Killer to Cannibal: How Online Sleuths Tracked Down Luka Magnotta
When someone posts animal cruelty videos online, where's the line between justice and vigilantism? This is the story of how a group of internet sleuths tracked down a man they called the "vacuum kitten killer," only to discover their worst fears were coming true. Luka Magnotta's name became synonymous with one of the most disturbing cases of internet-fueled violence, but his path to murder started long before those first horrific videos surfaced. From a troubled childhood marked by mental illness and abuse to a life of sex work and desperate reinvention, this case forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about intervention, mental health systems, and the very real consequences when online harassment escalates to real-world violence. Because sometimes the people trying to stop a monster become part of the story themselves.
