Correction Appended June 6, 2012. Grisly packages were delivered to two Vancouver schools on Tuesday, potentially bringing a horrifying murder investigationback home to Canada . Vancouver police deputy chief Warren Lemcke told reporters that apackage containing a human hand was delivered to False CreekElementary School early Tuesday afternoon. The school'sprincipal told the Globe and Mail that a secretary received the "suspicious, smelly package, and it was soon reported to the police. An hour later, anotherpackage containing human foot was delivered to the privateboy's school St. George s. (A third package discovered in Montreal , containing what appeared to be a human foot, was later determined to be fake .) ( MORE : Porn Star Mail Murderer Arrested in Germany ) Though investigators have yet to make any conclusiveidentifications of the body parts, many are already linking thegruesome deliveries to the murder and dismemberment of Jun Lin, a33-year-old Chinese citizen who was studying at Montreal'sConcordia University. Lin's murder first made headlines when packages containingparts of his then-unidentified body were sent to the headquartersof two major Canadian political parties. His discarded torso wassubsequently discovered stuffed in suitcase in Montreal outside theapartment of his boyfriend, a porn actor named Luka Rocco Magnotta.By the time a grisly video of Lin's murder and dismemberment— thought to have been posted by Magnotta — wasdiscovered online, Magnotta had fled the country. He made his wayto France and then Berlin, where he was spotted and arrested byGerman police. Magnotta, born Eric Clinton Newman, was taken into custodyMonday afternoon after a cafe employee alerted the police to hiswhereabouts. The employee, Kadir Anlayisli, reportedly recognizedthe suspected killer when he saw Magnotta reading stories abouthimself online. Video footage from the arrest shows that seven Berlin police officers enteredthe business, and after some discussion, Magnotta consented toarrest. "He tried to give a false name. When he realized thathe couldn t escape the situation, he said, ‘You ve gotme,'" a Berlin police spokesperson told the National Post . Magnotta's extradition is being arranged. Vancouver andMontreal police are conducting DNA tests on the new packages. (LIST: The Most Notorious Crimes of the Century ) Yet even in his absence, the saga of Lin's murder appears tostill be unfolding back home. Montreal and Vancouver police arehoping that results from DNA tests will identify the newest bodyparts as quickly as possible. Vancouver authorities' primaryconcern, according to deputy chief Lemke, is to identify thevictim and from where the packages were mailed. While there isthe possibility of a copycat crime — or even a completelyunrelated crime — the rest of Lin's remains, includinghis right foot, right hand and head, are still missing. We vegot no indication [if Magnotta is connected to the Vancouverpackages] whatsoever, but we re not taking any chances…We re working closely with the postal services to see if therecould have been something [else] shipped," Cmdr. IanLafreniere said at a Montreal press conference Tuesday according to the Canadian Press. And as Magnotta awaits extradition in a Berlin jail cell, Germanauthorities report that he has been "calm and quiet,"only asking once for a guard to light his cigarette, the CPreported. The suspected killer has not given any indication that hewill fight extradition, but he still may choose to delay theprocess in court a prospect that does not worry the Montrealpolice. "At least, he's detained he s stopped,"Lafreniere said at the Tuesday press conference. "The largestmanhunt of the Montreal police history is over for us."

And while most serial killers have shown a predilectionfor working in the shadows, criminal profiler Pat Brown told Voice of America Magnotta displayed a gregarious nature that helped lead to hiscapture: in addition to surfing news articles about himself in apublic internet cafe, he also reportedly spent the past weekend partying in Parisian gay bars. "I would have to say that Luka Magnotta was quite a bitdifferent from the other psychopaths I ve dealt with in thepast," said Brown. "Not that his general behaviorisn't typically psychopathic; he's very narcissistic,he's very grandiose, he has no empathy, he's amanipulator of the nth degree. What is different about him ishe's basically an attention whore; he loves the media, and hewants to be the most well-known person in the world." MORE: The Psychopath Test: Are They Everywhere?
