Killer: "Most people can't get away with murder, but I'm a genius" Also killer: "Hey stranger, why don't you step into this murder room set." Also killer: "Hi Johnny's friends, I'm Johnny, I've met a woman I immediately love and am now going on a tropical vacation forever. Cya" Truly a mastermind for the ages
It’s funny because there’s literally an episode of Dexter where someone who gets inspired by him and starts killing people and Dexter instantly takes him out
Dexter's final killing should be himself as really he is no better than those he kills. The fact he's discovered a handy way to justify his murders in his own mind doesn't at all change what he naturally is. If he wasn't able to satisfy his blood lust the way he does would he then be forced to kill randomly the same as any other killer? If so then when he looks at any one of his targets he's basically looking in a mirror. I assume he is aware of all this but can't be sure as I've never been overly into or seen too much of the show but it's an interesting thing to think about concerning the character.
Sad but sweet footnote: the victim who escaped said he was nervous about running into Altinger’s mom at Court, as he did not report his attack and a chance to find Twitchel before he killed was lost. But Altinger’s mom approached him, hugged him and only said she was so glad he was able to get away and was safe.
that's what bugs me so much about all the people who blame gilles - hardly anyone lives with more of a personal stake in altinger's murder than his mother, and randos online think they're entitled to judge the survivor whom the victim's mother PERSONALLY thanked for making it home safe?? she's relieved that gilles' mother doesn't have to live her same nightmare. we should all strive to hold that much grace for other people - y'know, instead of forgetting who actually committed the crime & holding THEM accountable.
For real, these dudes are cringy tryhards, who take themselves out out of fear more often than some "grand scheme." Your videos crack me up and educate me bro, they're perfect.
To be fair, it's kinda true. To fit the definition of a serial killer there needs to be at least 3 victims. This guy was so terrible at it, he couldn't even get to 2. Serial killers are essentially people that have failed at life so this guy is a failure at being a failure.
@@goonsquad8258 I'm literally staring at photos of him in Eps 3 & 4 and I can't tell the difference aside from the different lighting - and considering he's in ONE scene in 3 which has extremely harsh lighting from above I suspect I could show both flicks to ten thousand random people and not one of them would say the suit is inconsistent.
I love when narcissists get caught because they underestimate the care that goes into an actual relationship. He couldn’t fathom that the victim’s friends know his writing style, his weather preferences, his daily habits, and was even informed about the location of his date. RIP Johnny Altinger
@@plaguedoctor1492Right, plus the audacity of thinking you’re entitled to take someone’s life just because *you* don’t see the value in their existence while disregarding what their life means to others and themselves.
if he woulda just spent the time cleaning evidence and shit instead of sending fake emails and all that he coulda possibly got away with it for longer luckily he didn't though
Here is how you know he is dumb, he watched dexter and thought step 1) buy a tarp. No buddy, step 1) have a well respected career in law enforcement, cops as family, friends that are cops.
The funny thing is how the show repeatedly explains how Dexter spent basically his entire life training with an actual police detective to learn how to properly kill and avoid arrest. This dude watched a few episodes and goes “oh yeah I can do all of this.”
Also serial killers don’t just plan to become serial killers and do it. They are created by a combination of circumstances, events and personality and certainly wouldn’t be interested in turning it into a gimmick, because it’s a compulsion. Even very competent serial killers are losers as human beings and that usually undoes them. BTK was ultimately caught due to gloating about his crimes years after he committed them. He was highly intelligent, gainfully employed, married, capable. Even he was undone by hubris. This dude Mark just seems to think life is a television show. The fact he was able to have any relationship at all is bonkers too. It’s almost like he’s a wannabe psycho. He is antisocial and narcissistic but not capable or compelled enough to actually be a serial killer. He is also the epitome of someone who should never be allowed to direct a production. A director that self obsessed equals a bad movie. A loser this detached from reality equals this guy.
the part where you said that johnny's friends knew the email wasn't from him because there weren't any jokes or comedic bits, and that johnny loved making people laugh is one of the biggest gut-punches of this entire case for me. it's already incredibly fucking sad that he was snuffed out for no fucking reason, but that just makes it feel infinitely worse to me.
the second gut-punch for me was hearing he could’ve made it to safety. he even got to go home but came back to give his date another chance that night. Mark is the lowest of the low.
@@woffe8094 Yeah, and he would have made a great husband for some sweet girl too. I have no idea how the absolute failure of a human being that took his life got so far despite having literally zero redeeming qualities
What makes it worse for me is when this loser who nobody should love or care about chose Johnny as a victim because he thought that was Johnny’s case. It’s sad. This guy brought a life into this world and fucked up a woman’s world just to be a murderer and attempted murderer.
And the email from his work sounded so worried about him, he clearly had such an impact on those who were in his life. So sad that he never got the chance to meet his dream girl and get married.
I remember something similar happening with a Star Trek fan film getting into trouble for trying to profit off the IP. Not sure how that made Viacom the bad guys but hey…. Nerds man.
The diary was really painful to listen to. Not because of the narrator but because of the guy who wrote it. I'm cringing into a black hole because it reminds me of when my dumbass was a little too into "scaring" / haunted house theatrics. I wrote a whole diary that in retrospect was shite.

@@kaiyote7924yeah like I can imagine him thinking this would’ve been published as a book and that it would be like the unabomber manifesto or something. So delusional
@@redcherry8137 ngl I haven't read many manifestos for that reason not because I knew that fact but because I generally treat manifestos as like cognito-hazards. I watch a lot of casual criminalist vids and whenever I catch me or the narrator trying to logic out a killer's thinking I always hardline in the sand "this person is crazy, and I'm more inclined to hurt myself doing the mental gymnastics required to justify these actions I deem unjust/Illogical" Some criminals are logical in a brutal inhumane way but most legit are just not right in the head.

@mortson978 Those aren't AI artifacts, they're him reading the document while including all of this "genius'" typos. Like how multiple times he misspelled words like "it" or "if". He's basically leaving those typos in to further convey the message that this guy is nowhere as clever as he likes to think he is.
@@thecrispymaster that would make total sense except "I" is not a typo. Almost every instance of the word "I" is replaced by "ee". Even the cadence of the speech feels stilted and unnatural.
Mark fails to kills the first victim as Dexter walks by just minding his business, maybe holding a bag of groceries. Dexter looks at the situation, has the most 'what in the holy fuck' look as Mark says "it's a prank, haha", and then Dexter spikes the camera as hard as an actor possible can before the scene changes with the obvious implication being true.
It’s interesting to note the Dexter books are quite different to the show. It includes supernatural elements and Dexter strongly personifies his lust to kill, to the point he almost disassociates it from himself, calling it his Dark Passenger. It’s brought up early in the show but never emphasised to the degree it is in the books. It’s also interesting that Dexter really isn’t a psychopath and was tragically misdiagnosed by his cop father. There’s a reason kids can’t be diagnosed with ASPD. As the TV series continues he comes to realise he does love, and when he does kill his first ‘innocent’ it nearly breaks him. He’s been convinced he’s a psychopath incapable of love or remorse or human emotion but it turns out Harry, his dad, was tragically incorrect about that.
@@yurifairy2969 Yeah, definitely. In the book he is pretty unambiguously a monster. In the show, it becomes clear he’s a murderer, but not a psychopath and arguably might never have killed humans had Harry not decided he was a psychopath and trained him to do it. Harry convinced him so thoroughly that he’s a psychopath that it takes him well into his serial killing career to realise he actually does feel love and empathy and feels incredible guilt over killing an innocent.
Dexter was a fun read and show, but the chokehold it had on edgy teenagers who were self diagnosed "sociopaths" as if that made cool instead of it being a crippling personality disorder was so annoying.
@@Gerson.Reyes.Cif it wasn’t for the violence, most serial killers are cringe as hell. There is a reason they never have a lot of friends or successful relationships.
as a writer myself, hearing Mark’s “manifesto” made me cringe sooo deeply. it’s almost like a checklist of every “bad writing” trope that I had to unlearn over years and years of (persistent) trial & (embarrassing) error. it’s so “I’m 14 and this is DEEP” haha

The truth is, that a lot of times, the so called innocent spouses of these abject individuals, are not really that innocent. Birds of a feather, flock together.
There is no 'she' involved whatsoever. There is an insane male attracted to men who pretends to be a woman because , insane reasons. Can you point to where you think you see a real 'she'?
This isn't the first time I've seen a spouse draw the line at cheating in a relationship where the other person is abhorrent in so many other ways, it probably isn't gonna be the last.

"a hockey mask wearing killer who specifically targeted cheating husbands" wouldn't mark be one of the victims in his story? isn't he a cheating husband? edit: i made it through the part of the video where this exact point was talked about. my bad lol
Cheaters are 90% of the time, the biggest hypocrites. They cheat on their parteners, while also projecting their behaviour by being extremely jealous with both their parteners and their side chick/lover, and they are also the first to judge others for cheating.
it's pretty clear that Mark was writing his story victims and targeting other men like himself. Sad, lonely losers that no one would miss. There's gotta be something psychological there, trying to make himself feel superior by killing other guys like him or something like that

Well, people wouldn’t be watching true crime, documentaries, movies and such if they really thought they were losers. Unfortunately humans glorify these types and I’m not smart enough to analyze why.
@@healthycathy9782 I can give a few tidbits. Because people tend to empathize with somebody who has relatable vulnerabilities. Often times when we glorify historical figures with "noble" depictions we don't dwell on their weaknesses. This can make a person feel alien. With criminals though, their trauma and flaws become establishing components to their backgrounds and people feel a sort of kinship to that.
@@healthycathy9782 Not rly. Ive never thought any of these killers were anything more than pathetic and compulsive losers. Ppl often listen to these shows just bc the story and news fills the silence. Not bc the killer is some idealized main character. Even the ones that dont get caught are losers.

I find it so funny that Mark didn't understand that Johnny had friends that cared for him. He wholeheartly believe they would just take it at face value because he didn't understand love and care. A joke of a man and a joke to Star Wars more than Jar Jar. Rest in peace Johnny you were a loved man.
That's a sociopath for you. They don't understand actual human relationships or emotions. They'll try to mimic what they believe should be true (like dude being married and whatnot, because guys are "supposed to get married and have kids) but even many folks who aren't sociopaths don't understand deep friendships between people. A lot believe men and women really can't be friends and anyone who says they have actual friends, like people they care about, share things with, etc, but aren't interested in sexually, are just lying. Like they, themselves, are.
His fan film literally has all the cardinal sins of fan films. Pointlessly filling “plot holes” that aren’t really plot holes. Having characters from the real films despite the fact your actors, writing, and costumes won’t give them justice, obtusely and awkwardly tying major events to fan favorite characters that realistically wouldn’t be involved, etc.
Also creating a ton of plot holes in the process.

I only learned this after I played the recent Bailey Sarian video about this guy to which my bf told me why his brother cannot watch Dexter ever again. Absolutely insane.

Also serial killers don’t just plan to become serial killers and do it.
They are created by a combination of circumstances, events and personality and certainly wouldn’t be interested in turning it into a gimmick, because it’s a compulsion.
Even very competent serial killers are losers as human beings and that usually undoes them.
BTK was ultimately caught due to gloating about his crimes years after he committed them.
He was highly intelligent, gainfully employed, married, capable.
Even he was undone by hubris.
This dude Mark just seems to think life is a television show.
The fact he was able to have any relationship at all is bonkers too.
It’s almost like he’s a wannabe psycho. He is antisocial and narcissistic but not capable or compelled enough to actually be a serial killer.
He is also the epitome of someone who should never be allowed to direct a production.
A director that self obsessed equals a bad movie.
A loser this detached from reality equals this guy.
Great point

And the email from his work sounded so worried about him, he clearly had such an impact on those who were in his life. So sad that he never got the chance to meet his dream girl and get married.

It's the absolute distain in his voice, as if he's personally offended by a killer's stupidity that always gets me. 🤣
Am I crazy, or is this an Ai voice over? The way he keeps pronouncing "I" as "e", or "off" as "of". Seems fishy to me
@mortson978 Those aren't AI artifacts, they're him reading the document while including all of this "genius'" typos. Like how multiple times he misspelled words like "it" or "if". He's basically leaving those typos in to further convey the message that this guy is nowhere as clever as he likes to think he is.
@@thecrispymaster that would make total sense except "I" is not a typo. Almost every instance of the word "I" is replaced by "ee". Even the cadence of the speech feels stilted and unnatural.
Mark would’ve been a killer Dexter took care of in less than an episode lmao
Seriously. Dexter would never.
A subplot in the second season in the episode in the railcar, he deals with a bad copycat who had a higher bodycount than this dweeb.
@@gailsmith6695Dexter has much higher standards and sets the bar quite high for himself. The audacity coming from this creature
Dexter would probably meet and take him out walking to his car.
Mark fails to kills the first victim as Dexter walks by just minding his business, maybe holding a bag of groceries. Dexter looks at the situation, has the most 'what in the holy fuck' look as Mark says "it's a prank, haha", and then Dexter spikes the camera as hard as an actor possible can before the scene changes with the obvious implication being true.
It’s interesting to note the Dexter books are quite different to the show. It includes supernatural elements and Dexter strongly personifies his lust to kill, to the point he almost disassociates it from himself, calling it his Dark Passenger. It’s brought up early in the show but never emphasised to the degree it is in the books.
It’s also interesting that Dexter really isn’t a psychopath and was tragically misdiagnosed by his cop father. There’s a reason kids can’t be diagnosed with ASPD. As the TV series continues he comes to realise he does love, and when he does kill his first ‘innocent’ it nearly breaks him. He’s been convinced he’s a psychopath incapable of love or remorse or human emotion but it turns out Harry, his dad, was tragically incorrect about that.
dexter is also much more clearly the bad guy
La La La La La ....
@@yurifairy2969 Yeah, definitely. In the book he is pretty unambiguously a monster.
In the show, it becomes clear he’s a murderer, but not a psychopath and arguably might never have killed humans had Harry not decided he was a psychopath and trained him to do it. Harry convinced him so thoroughly that he’s a psychopath that it takes him well into his serial killing career to realise he actually does feel love and empathy and feels incredible guilt over killing an innocent.
Yawn... No one cares.
Dexter geeks care @stonevisionmedia so leave us alone in our geekiness
Dexter was a fun read and show, but the chokehold it had on edgy teenagers who were self diagnosed "sociopaths" as if that made cool instead of it being a crippling personality disorder was so annoying.

@@OscarDirlwood i feel like its kinda lazy to just dismiss it all entirely because it wasn't filmed, if laziness is truly the concern here.

Well, people wouldn’t be watching true crime, documentaries, movies and such if they really thought they were losers. Unfortunately humans glorify these types and I’m not smart enough to analyze why.
Couldn't agree more
@@healthycathy9782 I can give a few tidbits.
Because people tend to empathize with somebody who has relatable vulnerabilities. Often times when we glorify historical figures with "noble" depictions we don't dwell on their weaknesses. This can make a person feel alien. With criminals though, their trauma and flaws become establishing components to their backgrounds and people feel a sort of kinship to that.
@@healthycathy9782 Not rly. Ive never thought any of these killers were anything more than pathetic and compulsive losers. Ppl often listen to these shows just bc the story and news fills the silence. Not bc the killer is some idealized main character. Even the ones that dont get caught are losers.

Rest in peace Johnny you were a loved man.
That's a sociopath for you. They don't understand actual human relationships or emotions. They'll try to mimic what they believe should be true (like dude being married and whatnot, because guys are "supposed to get married and have kids) but even many folks who aren't sociopaths don't understand deep friendships between people. A lot believe men and women really can't be friends and anyone who says they have actual friends, like people they care about, share things with, etc, but aren't interested in sexually, are just lying. Like they, themselves, are.
His fan film literally has all the cardinal sins of fan films.
Pointlessly filling “plot holes” that aren’t really plot holes. Having characters from the real films despite the fact your actors, writing, and costumes won’t give them justice, obtusely and awkwardly tying major events to fan favorite characters that realistically wouldn’t be involved, etc.
Also creating a ton of plot holes in the process.

He also made that green screen set up that he has in the background.
I only learned this after I played the recent Bailey Sarian video about this guy to which my bf told me why his brother cannot watch Dexter ever again. Absolutely insane.
Did you hear how his experience was working with this loser?
WOAH! Small world.😯
Holy Kevin Bacon
@@Anothet4 RIGHT. THIS IS THE WORST 6 DEGREES EVER 🙃
Did he have anything to say about him?
If only his favorite show had been Fear Factor. His need to emulate his favorite show would have led to him eating bugs.
😂😂
And eating Horse semen.
And yet, for some reason I feel like he still would have written a ridiculously pompous sounding diary about how special he is for doing so, the lengths he goes to select only the most fear enducing bugs and how well he hides his dirty little secret from normies who would fail to understand it because, you know, he's not an idiot.
You dont eat horse semen, you drink it. I know its easy to mix the two up, but if you ever forget ask your mother. She's an expert on the subject.
he wouldve been Jerma's ideal boyfriend
Dude wanted to be a Dexter, but he was more of a Krueger.
As in Dunning, not Freddy, to be clear.
This man describing his plans like he's the smartest most cool killer ever made made me feel like i aged 20 years good lord it of coarse wasn't enough that he chose to kill people but his writing made me almost die of cringe
Dude went to the Nancy Brophy school of writing
@@mrglobemcglobeglobe😂👍
I love when you break from your script and add some comedy to the stories you cover or to roast the criminals, it really helps lighten things up in a tasteful way.
It is absolute gold😂
as someone who has never indulged in star wars, that reading of all the lore stuff really got me confused LOL
Haha same!
My spirit leaves my body when anyone starts talking about Star Wars…and doesn’t come back till they’re done ✅ 😂
@@SarahBear303lord, I thought I was the only one here, lol 😂. Totally spaced tf out until that part finished. I even tried rewatching it, nope. 😅
He couldn’t use it anyway because it was all someone else’s IP so it’s completely unusable hahhaa
As someone who loves star wars, I'm telling you that you're not missing anything. Don't worry.
"and I stood there, ominous in the dark , prepared to strike with my stun baton fully extended" 😳
Dude…. You have never sounded Canadian before… but in this video.. it sounds like you fill your water bottle with maple syrup 🍁 I had no idea! lol
The truth comes oot.
Right?? I never knew they were Canadian, but that "aboot" was unmistakable.
I thought I was imagining that - my ears play tricks on me all the time with accents though...
He’s been sounding more and more Canadian lately, there’s been a couple “aboot”s and very Canadian pronunciations. Caught me off guard when I noticed it too.
I thought matey was from Minnesota or Wisconsin or something bc I forgot Canada exists 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
In the Timesuck episode about this case Dan Cummins kept calling Mark Twitchell "Mark Bitchell" and I've never been able to hear his name since without thinking about that
I got a better one... Billy Mitchell is Silly Bitchell.
Love time suck. The last podcast on the left episode on him was also good
I love how the consensus of everyone on the internet covering this guy is just to roast him endlessly for being a colossal dork.
>Manages to write an actually great Star Wars movie script that was being taken seriously amongst fans and professionals, moving towards very real possibilities for production in conjunction with Lucas Films.
>Calls George Lucas a thief of his own intellectual property which _Mark_ has been using without permission and flames him online
>Gives up any real chance of getting his film made
>Does this instead
Amazing.
Still better than Disney Star Wars 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheJcris87 Disney Star Wars got made. So they are, by default, better…because they exist as completed films
@@CharlieApples that's a super low bar you're setting for yourself
@@TheJcris87"the best story you have in your head is worse than the worst story you have on paper," was a quote I've heard from a fair amount of author friends I have when I first started. It's a common sentiment, and very helpful for the process.
@@Wyrm3 and my point is that literally anything, even things that do not exist, is better than Disney Star Wars. Hell his murder plans were better than Last Jedi.
My first language is Japanese and I have a difficult time with reading comprehension.
Not only did I fully understand what this guy wrote because it was so juvenile, I feel like I could write something better in English AND Japanese.
“he had to drive all the way home, hoping no one would look at his silly ass” took me tf out
Also y’all ate that document reading UP!
huh? who's y'all?
As someone from Edmonton, thank you for covering this. I had no idea he had a daughter! 😮 poor girl
“I wonder if he gets away with it” 😂 I love this channel specifically because it’s 98% factual and journalistic with very little commentary from the people making the videos except when the cases get ridiculous and it warrants a bit of a joke. Same reason I like Dr.Todd Grande.
He truly has a way with words! ❤
It's always jarring when Dr Grande tells a joke. The guy looks and sounds like he's had his sense of humor surgically removed.
Found an article on Videomaker about his fan fiction movie.
It actually had a lot of money and established actors behind it.
To throw away his dream just to be a failed killer is just so stupid.
I cannot believe a "Heh, nothing personel, kid..." guy murdered someone.
You can't?
"I don't have delusions of grandeur"
One of the lies ever told.
See, Im obsessed with Daria and it never made me do this, just made me be a 35 year old man with sarcasm
Haha Daria used to be one of my nicknames because i supposedly sound just like her
@@ginnygin7141 ayeeee haha nice
@@ginnygin7141 I had to read your comment again but with a Daria voice the second time around.
Right? Just because I love the character Hannibal doesn't mean I'm going to start dressing up in suits and eating people to be edgy. It's a character in a work of fiction. Anyone trying to emulate a fictional character (or any irl killer) is cringe af.
I also get called Daria because I have brown hair, glasses, and doc martens. However, personality-wise, Jane's my girl. I do the art thing, and I mainly lean towards the realistic optimist side. Talking about the show makes me miss running home from middle and high school to watch the end of TRL and rushing home from swim practice so I could catch Daria/Celeb Unalive Match/Pepperann/The OC. Good memories 🥲🥰
Bro tried to be a killer but skipped the first 10 chapters on it. Didnt kill animals as a kid, didnt isolate yourself from all social connections, etc. Dudes a poser.
No dedication to the craft
Absolute amateur.
Speedrunning the part of his diary about buying a knife from a military surplus store was 😙👌
Never had I laughed so much while watching a documentary about a murderer. Dude is the human equivalent of using a bunch of big words to sound smart
I think you forgot the adjective “badly” …”using big words badly to sound smart.” Smart people actually know WHEN to use big words.
what other equivalent would there be?
He really wrote Dexter fanfiction with himself as the MC
The most chilling aspect of this episode is how the word “garage” is pronounced
It’s shanthony
Gairedge
You mean "car hole?"
@@LostHorizons0It’s not.
@@LostHorizons0Damn, you have over 100 comments on this channel. Are they all accusing this guy of being Anthony/Andrew? You seriously need a life.
1:54 As Dexter would say, "it's blood S P A T T E R not S P L A T T E R" 😅😅
It's also fairly unreliable, according to studies conducted by the National Institute of Justice and in a report from the American Academy of Forensic Science, has been found to be a flawed "science", along with bs like bite mark analysis. There's a ton of criticism on blood pattern analysis, a big one being that several "experts" (who have been known to overstate qualifications) may read the same pattern and come up with totally different results.
As a forensic scientist, this is my biggest peeve.
nobody cares and usage is meaning
Lmao I was just about to comment the same thing 😂
Is that show "Dumbest criminals" still on? We got a winner here lol
😂😂😂
"Mark's....Spider-Man stickered Toshiba laptop..." ... dude... there was so much going on in your delivery of that failure missile. God I love it
The diary part was so good, he's such a fucking dork it doesn't even seem real. Excellent narration btw :)
alternate title to this video: *_"Dorkster"_*
you're _welcome_
🤣
the way you imitate that stupid smug laugh is so fucking good lmao i hate it
"... because Mark is a grown f'n child who doesn't have the steady hands or technology to pull off a procedure as complicated as luring someone to a detached garage that he's renting".
That one hit out of nowhere, lol.
I was scrolling through the comments & got here literally _at the exact moment_ that line was read.
...no point to this or anything just thought it was mildly cool
It's so unique that I've heard this story on another page and they didn't have half of the information that you have. I'm so glad for your insightfulness and Justice to this case.
