Magnotta booked a ticket for a flight from Montreal to Paris on May 25, using a passport with his own name.[58] After his arrival in France, his cell phone signal was traced to a hotel in Bagnolet, but he had left by the time police arrived.[59] Pornographic magazines and an air-sickness bag were found in the hotel room.[59][60] Magnotta used a false passport with the name "Kirk Trammel" at the hotel.[61] He had contacts in Paris from a previous visit in 2010, and police were following a large-framed man who had been in contact with Magnotta.[50] Another man he stayed with for two nights did not realize who he was until he had left.[50] Magnotta then boarded a Eurolines bus at the Bagnolet coach station bound for Berlin, Germany.[50]
