Calltaker Didn’t Want ‘Snuff’ Video Information

The Toronto (Canada) police department has confirmed that one of their communications dispatchers fielded a call from a U.S. citizen warning them of an on-line video that appeared to show the torture and murder of a man, and even naming the suspect. A police spokesperson also said the calltaker properly referred the caller to Crime Stoppers, and didn’t take information from the caller or have officers investigate the video. Two days later, police say they found a suitcase containing the dismembered body of a unidentified man, and have now issued an international arrest warrant for Luka Rocca Magnotta, the man named by the caller. Police believe Magnotta may have already fled to France. The caller, Montana attorney Roger Renville, says he telephoned Toronto police last Sunday. He described the video and its content, asked for an email address to provide a Web link to the video, and gave them Magnotta’s name. However, Renville says the call taker wasn’t interested in viewing the video or obtaining the link so detectives might determine if the video was authentic.
