(CNN) -- A gay porn actor is suspected in the killing of his acquaintance, videotaping and posting online the man's dismemberment and mailing the severed limbs to different locations in Ottawa, including to a political party's headquarters, according to a source with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Authorities are searching for Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, who they say is allegedly responsible for a human torso discovered in Montreal, thought to be linked to a human hand and foot that were separately mailed from Montreal to Ottawa.

Magnotta, also known as Eric Clinton Newman, is a Montreal resident who allegedly knew the victim, identified only as a white male, Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreniere told reporters on Wednesday.

The suspect has no criminal background, and his image and information related to him were later recovered from a "very graphic" website, Lafreniere said.

The source later confirmed that at least one of the websites examined by authorities was a pornographic site.

It's possible the body parts all came from the same dismembered victim, Lafreniere said, but police are still awaiting the results of forensic testing for confirmation.

"The two parts of the body that were found in Ottawa... we've got all the reasons to believe that it's linked to our homicide," he added, referring to the human torso found in Montreal.

Authorities said they are asking the public for help in locating Magnotta, after a "coast-to-coast" warrant was issued for his arrest. Police say they plan to charge him with murder once he's apprehended.

What is it with male escorts losing their shit? Have they all been from elsewhere? Was the Sean Cody guy?

The video is on line, the link and (descriptive) details are in this discussion thread, having seen many dark things on the Internet, I sure as hell am not going to watch. This guy sounds like he's in Jeffrey Dahmer territory, very fucked up

Just because you are cute and gay doesn't mean you're a nice person.

Unfortunately that's true; just take a walk through the bars/clubs in West Hollywood. . .

If this is the guy from Craigslist who killed, he's been apprehended in Germany per today's NPR newscast. 6.4.12

Latest developments.....

Two more body parts - the right hand & right foot - were mailed to two schools in Vancouver. Police have confirmed that they were mailed from Montreal and are from the same body as the left hand & foot that had previously been mailed to Canadian politicians. Police say the last remaining missing body part is the head. One has to wonder where this will turn up. And I'm serious, guys. This is for real - not a joke.

What a sicko.......

Interesting to find this thread after watching the Netflix "Don't F*** with cats" documentary!

Some odd balls out there that’s for sure!

Just thought it was funny that I watched a new 3 part Netflix documentary and then remembered discussing the story here years ago.
