Following the narrative, police believe Altinger was then stabbed and dismembered on a makeshift autopsy table.
That piece of tooth matched up to our victim. According to SK Confessions, the killer then broke into Altinger's apartment and sent out those emails about taking an exotic vacation. The killer then attempted to burn the remains in a barrel, but failed. He next tried to dump them into the river, but was afraid of being seen.
But where was Johnny Ultinger's body? SK Confessions described the killer finally choosing a sewer to dump the remains, but that's where the pages stopped. It was a story without an ending.
Detective Clark hoped Twitchell would provide the final chapter. I'm going to get the car ready. We're going to take a drive. You guys were driving around and there was a camera trained on him in the back of the police car. Tell me about that.
Movie's over. We can write it all down. Detective Clark was relentless, taking Twitchell on a tour of his old neighborhood.
But Twitchell remained silent. So police kept searching on their own, looking in sewer after sewer.
Weeks, then months passed, and still no luck. Frustrated, police would pay Twitchell many visits at the jail, where he awaited trial, trying to get it out of him. Then on June 3rd, 2010, a year and a half after Johnny Altinger disappeared, the homicide unit received a call.
But did the filmmaker have one last plot twist? Nearly two years after his arrest, Mark Twitchell was finally ready to break his silence about the whereabouts of Johnny Altinger's body.
So detectives met Twitchell in jail, where he gave them a Google map to the location where they would find the remains.
Police followed the map to an alleyway, ironically, just a half block away from where they had stopped their search.
For Johnny's brother, Gary, the news was devastating.
In March 2011, Gary Altinger faced his brother's accused killer in court. Edmonton Crown Prosecutors Avril Inglis and Lawrence Van Dyke had a lot to work with.
Adding to the evidence was the infamous SK Confessions document. Prosecutors called multiple witnesses to prove that it was Twitchell's diary. And who better to prove their case than Gilles Tetreault, who came face to face with this attacker at the trial. I wasn't really afraid of him at that time.
The courtroom was mesmerized as SK Confessions was read out loud.
Jorah's heard a weeping Jess Twitchell, the filmmaker's now ex-wife, testify that Mark had confided in her that he was incapable of feeling empathy for others.
Throughout it all, Mark Twitchell sat emotionless. That was until Detective Bill Clark took the stand and the interrogation tapes were played.
In the end, the only witness the defense called was Mark Twitchell. And the storyteller had one incredible tale, starting with SK Confessions, which he said was largely fiction and shorthand for a famous horror writer.
Twitchell claimed that Altinger's death was nothing more than a House of Cards publicity stunt gone horribly awry. He called this PR scheme MAPLE, an acronym for Multi-Angle Psychosis Layering Entertainment.
Twitchell argued he had let Gilles go so that he would create a buzz when the film came out by telling people that this had actually happened to him in real life. But he claimed Altinger became enraged at being tricked and that he accidentally killed Johnny in self-defense.
And the jury agreed. They took just five hours to find Mark Twitchell guilty. He was sentenced to 25 years to life.
