(Karl and other members of Bacon ’s family did not return phone calls or emails for this story.) Kevin told them Karl expected him to go into a technical trade, and forego the pie-in-the-sky sentimentalities of being a famous hairdresser. It wasn’t what his father, Karl, a packaging engineer, wanted him to pursue, according to Kevin’s friends. Still, he became experienced enough where he sometimes did a friend ’s son’s hair, and eventually his roommate. And though he gave a valiant effort, they sometimes felt trepidation when Bacon got experimental. In high school, he tested out new hairdos on his girlfriends. Kevin Bacon was excited to work on hair professionally, and dreamed of moving to Chicago. People who live there often mention its small-town living with proximity to a bigger city, Flint, which is a short drive away. Like many suburban towns on the outskirts of tertiary cities, Swartz Creek is notable for its simplicity. But the details of his murder were more gruesome than his worried loved ones could imagine. The alleged assailant was his date, Mark Latunski, who would quickly confess to the crime. They thought if he were dead, he would be at least in a field somewhere or out in the open.īut while people searched open fields, Kevin was underground, strung up in the basement of a stone cottage in a rural area about 20 miles out of town, with his throat slit. Friends came in from Flint and other nearby towns to s cout railroads, brushes, and farmland. The local news stations tagged along with the search. For three days, friends, family, and authorities looked for Bacon. The next day, after he missed Christmas breakfast with his family, his father called the police. A Nest doorbell camera captured him walking out the door. Bacon got ready and left in his car shortly after 5 p.m., according to his roommate. During his time scrolling on his phone, he and his roommate discussed her plans for the evening - a game night and some drinks at a friend ’s place - and he eventually found a guy who lived nearby. When he got back to the apartment he shared with Myers that Christmas Eve, he decided to look for a date.
So he was stuck in Swartz Creek, at least for the time being. But staying on a structured spending plan was not easy for Bacon, as he constantly struggled with money.
He was planning a move to Chicago to be closer to friends, and part of a more diverse gay community. Overall, 2019 had been a torturous year, but Bacon had started to turn it around. “He ’s big, tall, and usually had something crazy going on.” “Everyone knew Kevin,” says Sarah Hope Spencer, a close friend. Despite only being in his mid-20s, he was already sporting a receding hairline, and would often dye it colors. Standing over six feet tall with a husky build, Bacon’s flamboyant style stood out among the droves of suburbanites - he sometimes carried a purse, and he had an eye for designer clothes. Among those problems, he hated being in the suburban, slow town of Swartz Creek. “You come here and there’s just so much that’s like, really outdated,” Myers says. But he also used sex to escape his problems, his friends say. Like many young men, he often bragged to his friends about his casual relationships. Myers and other of Bacon ’s friends say this wasn’t abnormal behavior for Kevin. He learned from them that someone he didn’t want to see was coming for dinner, according to text messages reviewed by Rolling Stone, so he decided not to go. After finishing work that afternoon at the salon across from his home, he met up with his sister and mother to do their hair. He was having family problems, says Michelle Myers, a longtime friend and Bacon ’s roommate. on December 24th, 2019, in Swartz Creek, Michigan - a suburb about 20 minutes southwest of Flint - Kevin Bacon, a 25-year-old hairdresser, headed out to meet a guy he met on Grindr, the dating and hookup app for predominantly gay, bisexual, and transgender men.īacon was upset. Meet the guy, have sex, go back home.Īt around 5 p.m.
