If I say the name Eric Clinton Kirk Newman to you, odds are that unless you are really and truly a lover of True Crime, that name doesn’t ring a bell for you. However, when Eric Newman legally changed his name, he changed it to something that is much more known in the casual true crime world and also known by almost every person that was alive at the time that he committed his crimes, and especially his worst crime. In 2006 Eric changed his name to Luka Magnotta and on May 25th, 2012 a series of events would kick off that would give Luka Magnotta something that he had been chasing for his entire life, fame. But not the fame that any normal person looks for, no, Luka Magnotta decided to up the level of crime that he was committing, and he had already committed a lot and a lot of heinous crimes, this time he would commit murder and desecration to a body unlike almost anything ever seen before on Canadian soil. This case is a look into how horrible things on the internet can really be, if you weren’t already aware. Welcome to episode 23 of Gone, But Never Forgotten, the life and crimes of Luka Magnotta.
