True Crime

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. n 2010, a shocking video stunned the digital world—an unknown individual brutally killing cats in an unimaginable manner. This wasn't just animal cruelty; it was the beginning of one of the most bizarre and disturbing criminal cases in modern history.

"Hunting the Cat Killer: The Strangest Case History Has Ever Known" unveils the extraordinary true story of Luka Magnotta, a narcissistic psychopath who manipulated the internet for fame and terror. When outraged viewers formed an unofficial investigation team on Facebook, they unknowingly entered a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a killer who thrived on attention.

Author Walid Saleh meticulously reconstructs this digital-age thriller, following amateur sleuths Deanna Thompson and John Green as they analyzed video clues, tracked false identities, and uncovered a web of manufactured celebrity. From Toronto to London to Paris, the investigation reveals a disturbing portrait of modern evil—a man who created hundreds of fake profiles, fabricated his own fame, and used social media as both weapon and stage.

The case escalated terrifyingly when Luka's violence turned toward humans, culminating in the brutal murder of Jun Lin and an international manhunt that exposed the dark intersection of narcissism, digital manipulation, and serial killer psychology. Drawing inspiration from films like "Basic Instinct" and "American Psycho," Luka orchestrated his crimes as performances, leaving investigators to decipher reality from his carefully constructed fiction.
