SHIAWASSEE COUNTY, MI (WILX) -- A man accused of killing a 25
year old Swartz Creek man is expected back in court on Wednesday.
On Monday. court documents revealed what police found on
December 28, the day they arrested 50-year-old Mark Latunski in
connection with Kevin Bacon's death.
Warning, the details of the testimony are graphic.
Detectives said they went to Latunski's home to perform a
welfare check as that was the last location Bacon was believed
to have been.
When they entered Latunski's Shiawasee County home, detectives
testified they found Bacon hanging naked from the ceiling.
According to testimony from the detective, Latunski confessed to
killing Bacon by stabbing him with a knife in the back one time
then slitting his throat.
He also admitted to police he wrapped a rope around Bacon’s
ankles and hung him from the rafters on the ceiling.
According to the documents, Latunski admitted he used the knife
to cut off Bacon's testicles and consumed them.
Latunski was charged with one count of open murder and one count
of mutilation of a human body. He was arrested that Saturday
after police searched his home.
Bacon was first reported missing on Christmas Day when he didn't
return home for a family breakfast.
Friends and family mounted a large search effort for Bacon. His
car was found in Clayton Township near his home. His wallet,
phone and other belongings were inside.
Latunski home is located about 23 miles from where Bacon lives.
Michelle Myers, Bacon's roommate said Bacon went to meet
Latunski on Christmas Eve after they connected through a dating
app, Grindr.
Neighbors of Latunski said people are shaken that something like
this could happen in their small community of Morrice.
Morrice is a quiet village made up of mostly farmers with a
population of around 900 people according to the census. It is
made up a total area of 1.38 square miles.
"We're all just farmers and deer hunters, so it's quiet,"
Michael Parks said. "We moved from Atlanta and I thought we were
going to get away from the crowds and all this kind of stuff,
but I guess you never know who your neighbors are."
Parks said he has seen odd behavior from Latunski previously. On
Nov. 25, police responded to Latunski's home when a 29-year-old
man wearing nothing but a leather kilt ran from the house with
Latunski chasing him. Parks said the man had blood on his face
and was screaming for help.
Police investigated the incident but the man didn't want to
press charges and police determined no crime had been committed.
Latunski told police that he was chasing the man because he was
wearing his kilt, it was expensive and he wanted it returned.
Bacon's funeral was held Friday at Sharp Funeral Home in Swartz
Creek. Hundreds of people gathered at Swartz Creek High School
later that night for a vigil.
Bacon's parents said they were overwhelmed by the support that
came from the community.
"His dancing, his sassiness and his love for makeup and hair,
and how good of a stylist he was. I'm just going to love
everything about him, I'm going to miss him," Wendi Walters, who
knew Bacon, said at the vigil.
Latunski was arraigned last Monday. However, in court he told
the judge that he was not Latunski.
"Sir, are you Mr. Latunski?" he was asked in court.
"No, my name is Edgar Thomas Hill. Mark Latunski is my nephew,"
he said.
He also signed another name on court documents.
Bacon's family says they believe it's part of his plan to get
out of it.
"I think he's trying to throw us off," said Pam Bacon, Bacon's
mother said.
"He's trying to claim incompetent. He's done that in the past,"
Bacon's father, Karl said.
The judge continued on with proceedings and ordered Latunski to
be held without bond.
"The police have definitely identified who he is. They've dealt
with him in the past, and this is the same person they arrested
on site and he has not left their custody at all," Karl Bacon
said.
Latunski was charged with kidnapping in 2013 for allegedly
taking two of his four children from their mother- his ex wife.
Those previous charges were dismissed after several competency
hearings.
