According to Reuters, Luka Magnotta spent six months planning the killing of Jun Lin, which was confirmed in an alleged email from Magnotta to a journalist. In a blog post titled "Necrophiliac Serial Killer Luka Magnotta" on March 3, Magnotta expressed his fetish for having sex with a mummified corpse of a young man. Magnotta also uploaded several videos to YouTube from April to May, including one where he held a screwdriver in front of a ''[[wikipedia:Casablanca (film)|Casablanca]]'' poster while a 1987 New Order song played, alluding to the murder. Additionally, Magnotta created multiple fake accounts on various blog posts in an attempt to find out who the killer was, accompanied by an image. After posting an ad on Craigslist on May 24, 2012, Magnotta met with Jun Lin at the Decarie Boulevard in the late evening, under the pretense of filming a "personal film," which Lin volunteered for. Later that evening, Lin was murdered and decapitated in the room of Magnotta's apartment. Although some sources claim the video was first uploaded to another site called theYNC, it was uploaded to [[Bestgore]] that night. A few days later, an attorney from Montana alerted police about the video, but it was initially dismissed as fake. However, police were later alerted to Jun Lin's disappearance and received complaints from residents of Magnotta's apartment building about a foul smell. Eventually, the police found a suitcase containing several of Lin's body parts and were alerted to the video by citizens.
