Edmonton murder probe turns to filmmaker's car

Remember that first lesson of don't talk to strangers, kids? Below appears to be a perfect example of why exactly that might be. I wonder how the story will end, whether it is a simple case of set up to kill, or, a more devious complicated sick minded scenario or set up to kill on film for profit within the most disturbing subcultre. I guess we'll see. But will we know examples of this kind of perversity in film by watching?

A truly dark world. See the possibilities below:

Edmonton murder probe turns to filmmaker's car

Twitchell, 29, was charged earlier this month with first-degree murder in the death of Johnny Altinger. Police allege Twitchell turned his movie script House of Cards into a real-life crime.

In the script, a man is lured to a home thinking he is picking up a date he met online. Instead, he is attacked and killed.

This is really freaky. It makes sense in a way, though, because the guy, from the way he is talked about in the story, is something of an oddball, anyway. Even so, he does deserve his day in court and should be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I've heard a little about this case, since I live in Edmonton, but I don't know any of the people involved. It is a rather strange case, and sounds like some kind of horror novel rather than a real incident. Hopefully justice will prevail in this case, whichever result that ends up being.
