This time, the police were listening. Veteran homicide detective Bill Clark was part of the investigation.
But there was one clue that would give police their first big break in the case. On the day he disappeared, Johnny Altinger had forwarded the directions of where he was going to friends.
Armed with the directions, police are led directly to this garage.
Mark Twitchell, a 29-year-old married father and aspiring filmmaker, had used the garage as a set for a recent movie project.
Mark denied knowing anything about a missing man or a red Mazda. And he has no problem with the police wanting to search the garage. But he points out something odd about the lock.
For detectives, the disappearance of Johnny Altinger was a mystery in more ways than one.
Their only lead was Mark Twitchell's film set garage. Voluntarily, the amateur filmmaker came down to the Edmonton police station to speak with detectives.
Mark was eager to help. He came from a good home, had no history of violence, and was hardly a suspect.
In fact, he seemed guilty of nothing more than wanting to brag about his film career.
Mark Twitchell's first film project, a Star Wars fan film, had received some media buzz back in 2007.
Chewie, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Jimmy Siocas, an actor and screenwriter who played Han Solo in the film, was struck by Mark's enthusiasm.
But it soon became clear, though, that Mark may have had grand plans, but he didn't think them through.
Yet reality didn't seem to dampen Mark's ambition in the least.
As the police interview continued, detectives question Mark about his last production, a suspense thriller called House of Cards. The plot? A hockey-mass serial killer lures a man to a garage via the internet and kills him.
Hours later, Mark Twitchell even agreed to let officers back into the garage where he had filmed House of Cards. Little did they know, the case was about to take an unusual turn.
That's because police were still looking for Johnny Altinger's red Mazda. So investigators called Mark again. And again, he voluntarily agreed to answer more questions. This time, Bill Clark conducted the interview.
Clark listens while Mark tells him how he came into possession of a red car, a detail he failed to mention when he spoke with police earlier.
So what are you thinking when you hear that, that he purchased a car for $40?
The serial killer movie being filmed. The strange story about the red car. For Clark, it could only mean one thing.
But it was only a hunch. Clark had no hard evidence against Mark and was forced to let him go, though he wasn't going to make it easy.
