I can only echo the statements of others in this thread, but based on public history of the individual, this is, like Cap'n said, the 'real-time' following of a serial killer.
Things that point to this not being his first kill:
The premeditation of it. Generally, to construct a scenario with the necessary tools and situation to carry it out (killing, dismembering a corpse while filming it etc.), a serial murderer has progressed out of the initial stage of his attacks (animals). The first human kill is generally not one of the stalking or prepared type, more of an impulse.
Based on the little public information we have of him, and my (non existent) degree in forensic psychology, I think it's pretty safe to assume this guy has killed previously, is clearly an organized serial killer who is likely motivated by his own hedonistic psychology.
I think more than one open case of human remains has the potential to be solved if the suspect is taken into custody alive.
