Thank you for explaining how the psych evaluators for Magnotta couldn't really come to an agreement on their diagnosis. It answered many questions I had about these psych evals. I guess not all mental illnesses fit neatly into one pigeon hole or another.

[@longwhitemane]

@Phantom Alpha Very well said. While I can understand the point of view of defunding the police, it is a pipe dream based on the supposition that man is "good." Personally, I would like to see first responders more intensely trained in handling mental health crises and more mental hospitals opened up so mental patients that don't have a record (like me!) have a safe place to get treatment other than jail.

I don't know why they did that, it would have given insight about the reasons why he became the monster he is. My husband was dumbfounded at the end of the series, "Really? He killed people because he was bullied?". But then, we found Dr. Grande's video and the Wikipedia page, and learned that his background was the perfect scenario for a psychopath to flourish.

I met him prior to all of this. I showed up early for my exams and he was there as support for one of his female friends who was pregnant and she had her exam. The female friend and I bonded and she admitted that she wanted to dump luka as a friend. She felt detrust and her concern was only for her baby and education. I engaged in a conversation with him and I didn’t feel comfortable with him and my internal warning kicked in. He admitted to killing a bunch of kittens because he wanted to. He would adopt several of them, have them for awhile and then kill them. He wanted to be a porn star, expressed his dislike for the vulnerable, he was a quick speaker, was very agitated but friendly at the same time. I remember he said he was happy to be independent but was always in & out of jobs. Anyway, I never saw him again until it was all in the media years later.

Hey Doc. This is an extremely tragic situation for this man. It always amazes me how these people have such traumatic abusive childhoods. He sounds like he came from a very disturbed family. I was a little surprised that they didn't bring out more of his schizophrenia because he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. At some point. He probably did not stay on his medications. And it does seem like he had periods of psychosis for sure. But wow this guy took it to the Limit with his narcissism and borderline personality Etc. I can't imagine someone going to all those extreme lengths to bring attention to himself. All the platforms he was on, creating unrealities about himself and then being on the other side busting himself. Quite a unique character.

As a layman, I find the legal hair splitting over less culpability due to mental health issues confounding. While his psychological issues are regrettable, he would not be any less dangerous if they were treated, as treatment would likely fail at some point due to his noncompliance, or the inevitable funding cuts. Protection of the community should be the primary goal. There have been way too many treatment failures, like Kemper, for us to be naive about the current limits of treatment for violent individuals.

I had a hickup there too. To my knowledge, it was once considered an early warning sign in childhoods that might lead to sociopathy as wel as fire starting and animal abuse. I agree with the latter two as being a warning sign (a warning, an indication for treatment, ...) but not the enuresis, as it is involuntary and not harmful to others. The reaction to enuresis by bad parents can cause additional trauma.

Bed wetting past a certain age is related to developmental delays in the brain abnormally. Many serial killers share this trait. Also linked to childhood sexual abuse.

Hi Dr Grande, I live in Montreal, I remember watching the video when it was online because at that time no one could believe that this was real (we thought it was edited). When the torso was found in the suitcase in the alley of his building this is when people started to panic. I find it to be so sad for the victim. Everytime I walk through the same Post Office that he send the body parts I can't stop myself of thinking about him. Like you said, I dont understand why no one said he was schizophrenic since there was a history of him saying that he heard voices. Another thing that made me so angry/sad in the documentary was the mother...she really was convince that her son did all that because of Manny and that he was innocent.

Have you covered Karla Homolka? If not, you should. She was obviously a part of her husband's murders.

[@moondog7694]

I've never been a mental health professional, but I believe she had borderline personality disorder. Her clothing choices and facial makeup choices in high school all seem very stereotypical of BPD. Even what she wrote in a classmate's yearbook seems stereotypical for someone with BPD. Her dad was an alchoholic, so it's likely she was abused as a child.

Don’t forget to watch evil genius on Netflix, another great story for you possibly. Great video, Dr. Grande. Ty!

[@llchapman1234]

I just watched this documentary and was struck by how the director edited the interviews so that each interviewee was the star of their own story. Kind of a genius approach to telling a story about this vain, attention-seeking murderer.

[@michaellarson6828]

Is this the guy that killed the cats ?

[@elizabethodunlami]

Michael Larson yeah

[@blueorangeblossom]

I don’t think people care that he was abused, abused disabled women- sexually assaulted her. He was bullied in school, deemed gay-which who knows if he was or wasn’t as he obviously had Hetero tendencies on record. But if you have homosexual experiences as a child you may be desensitized or desire this. His sexuality was taken from him, and being abused sexually several times a day would destroy someone’s sense of self but also aid in a kind of self-objectification. He was valued for his looks and sexuality-paid for it. Which are minor parts of someone’s value-but inextricably tied to sense of worth. This is why prostitutes value the amount of $ they are paid or how many people want to sleep with them-as if others approval gives them worth; or their sexuality carries a dollar value. Which it cannot. A human body cannot be bought and sold, not truly. But the main point is when he started killing cats, because people care about innocent animals. And it’s such a horrific crime, that it seems that’s when his life was apprehended. Once you torture cats-then it’s an ethical issue ...but not a lifetime of mistreatment of other people. Or himself. It’s interesting and sad.

[@longwhitemane]

[@a_lucientes]

This guys is a serious headcase. It was a case while I was following was he was still just a kitten killer. I saw the video w/Lin the morning he uploaded it. It so sick, even though it doesnt show his killing. Great episode, tx! *Can you please* cover _cannibal cop,_ Gilberto Valle? Other potentials: Andrew Cunanan and Eliott Rodger. But Valle I think really needs an episode. Fascinating. tx

[@bellam7359]

"Logic implants in his head" 😂😂 I know a few people who'd need them! The thing I find most disturbing about this case other than the horrific acts he committed, is the time & effort he invested into all of the fake online profiles & (poorly) photoshopped images.

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

I hadn't heard of this one. i just read about it. *That is terrible.* It would be interesting to get Dr. Todd's take on it, and maybe some suggestions as to how the police could have handled it better. It appears, (from his speech patterns, and the fact that he couldn't stand being touched), that Elijah was probably on the autistic spectrum. Why on earth would they give him ketamine? It often causes problems in humans, and he didn't consent. I can understand *why* he resisted, as he hadn't done anything, but that's very dangerous. It sounds like he *was* cooperating later, though. My autistic adult son was once stopped in Denver, while walking to work. Suddenly, he was surrounded by police cars, and the police jumped out and surrounded him with guns drawn and yelling at him. He stood there shaking, and put up his hands, as instructed. They searched him, got on their radios, checked his I.D.,, and then apologized and let him go. He did experience some rough handling. It had been a case of mistaken identity, and he fit the description of someone they were looking for. He was shaken up for weeks after that, and had a panic attack every time he saw a cop car. Since then, he has had to call the police once, and had a better interaction with them, but it took him awhile to get over that. In the end, he lived through it. Parents, please tell your kids to not resist, even if the cops are wrong.

Bed-wetting, cruelty to animals - the only thing missing was arson. His fascination in Catherine Tramell was what drew my interest to the case - she was his idol. He even dresses like her is some imagery and painted the murder weapon in the case silver to resemble Tramell's icepick in Basic Instinct. That's what he wanted to be above anything else imo.

[@michaellovely6601]

And his claim that he had dated Karla Homolka is extremely frightening. However it was through this claim that the people of Canada found out that Karla was living in Châteauguay; a suburb of Montréal. Following her release from prison in July of 2005; Karla initially lived on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe with her second husband and their children, but for some inexplicable reason she moved back to Canada and as I said earlier she settled down in Châteauguay. Though nowadays she is reportedly living alone after having separated from her second husband Thierry Bordelais; who has custody of their children. Karla has allegedly been sighted in London and Kitchener in the Canadian province of Ontario.

I think bedwetting alone after the age of 5 doesn't necessarily associate with psychopathy. The stronger association might be when it's associated with other things - violent behavior towards animals, vindictive, manipulative, etc. ... By the way, I believe narcissists are probably extremely insecure individuals. If the walls of vanity and other things that surround them are torn down, they might be so fragile.

[@Mysikrysa]

You are not wrong about the narcissists. They create a fake gradiose personality to trick themselves to forget they are extremely fragile and insecure inside.

[@jenniferfrances8793]

Oh good you did Luka. One of the psychiatrists was on the news. He was the psychiatrist for the Paul Bernardo case and both of these disgusting cases drove him to severe PTSD. The video of Karla’s sister’s rape and murder was so horrific some of the jurors needed therapy. Karla got a deal to turn against her husband when on tape it showed she also used an object to rape her on sister! While she let Barnardo rape her sister and kill her after drugging her from a drug she stole from a vet hospital she worked at. I hate the law system in Canada. She got to move to the Caribbean and have three children while she helped murder and rape her own teenage sister and others. Clifford Olsen, The Runaway Devil, Pickton, Magnotta and Bernardo are some of the worst. Thanks for your videos

Dr. Grande, I'd really like to hear your insights on the sadistic British serial killer Peter Moore, known as the 'man in black'; he was a cinema manager in Wales who committed the predatory killings of four men in the 1990s. The details are upsetting but the background is fascinating, including an adoring mother who considered Peter her 'miracle son' after thinking she could never have a child, his love of Nazi memorabilia and his blaming the crimes on an imaginary lover, 'Jason', named after the villain of the Friday the 13th movies (!)
