Speaker 1: Before we start the show, I have a quick correction
from the last episode. In episode eleven of this season,
I mentioned that Stephen Willard's vehicle and remains were recently
recovered from Flaming Gorge Reservoir. That is incorrect. Stephen and
his two thousand one green Toyota Sequoia were found in
Starvation Reservoir, which is approximately one hundred thirty miles from
Flaming Gorge en route from Salt Lake City to Flaming Gorge. Also,
a few episodes back, I mentioned a podcast series on
Keys that I took part in, which interviewed Keys's army
buddy Nathan. That series, The Mind of a Murderer, is
out now, so check out their multi episode Key series
wherever you listen to podcasts. I promise it's good. This
is a studio both and production. For most of this season,
we've been examining who Keys was, what drove him, and
how he operated through new evidence, new witness statements, new
FBI files, and more. These new lenses have given us
better perspective on Keys's crimes and the cases we've looked
at in the past and continue to explore. And as
we pore over new maps, and new information and new
theories and ideas, we can't help but go back to
the unsolved murders. He discussed most his pensant for couples
and how his media consumption impacted his crimes. Earlier this season,
we did a deep dive into couples and examined those
cases for potential connections to Israel Keys. And while we
continue to research potential duos that Keys might have killed
it romantic partners, familial pairs, or complete strangers to one another,
we've also looked into cases that have involved triple murders
and familial disappearances. And of dozens, there's one that stands
out and has stood out for years. This is true
crime bullshit. The Serialized Investigation into Israel Keys Season seven,
Episode twelve Couples, Part two. Throughout our investigation into Israel Keys,
listeners of the show have submitted tips, potential encounters, sightings,
and leads to us. Whenever a new email lands in
our tip inbox, or a social media message notification pops up,
or a listener shares a striking comment during a meet
up or conference, it sends us down yet another rabbit hole.
We do our best to vet the person and their story,
usually through multiple interviews, research of Kisa's timeline and the
details of the story, looking into other tips and stories
we've received that may coincide, and then reviewing it all
with holdback information information we've held from the public that
may assist in further vetting these comments, stories, and tips.
Each person on the research team views these very differently.
I tend to be the skeptic, Shana the optimist. Tooks
takes on an unbiased approach to each and everyone. Jordan
and Kathleen tend to be more data minded, each listening
to these tips with an ear for details. These journeys
have been bizarre, frustrating, hopeful, fruitful, and sometimes hilarious. They've
led to new professional connections, friendships, collaborations, and a sharing
of information. Some of these tips have led to dead ends,
while others have helped us Unearthed eye, opening new details
or cases to research. In Anchorage, It's how we learned
more about the milk jugs that keys used to weigh
down bodies. A local high school teacher told us that
Detective Monique Dahl had visited her class and shared these
details with her students at a Vermont meet up. The
listener gave us insider information from her family members who
actually worked at the community bank in Tupper Lake while
Keys robbed it. It's also how we made connections with
Sydney Kopp, who connected the dots on the Staceyville John
Doe and helped her former teacher, Christopher Rufe get his
name back. And it's led us to some of our
recurring partners Sarah, Kaylene, doctor Chris Cuncle Grandpa Jean. We've
also had some wild conversations with bootleggers, former bank robbers,
and even arsonists who wanted to share their thres on
Keys and his crimes. On average, we get about fifteen
tips every single day, and any time I open an email,
I have no idea where it's going to take me
or how much time I'm going to spend with it.
There have been countless times where these tips have led
us to spend hours researching the potential identity of burger
king guy or key sightings around the country, and we've
come up empty handed or knowing less than when we
started exploring a particular lead. We often joke that the
more we know, the less we know. The thing is, however,
we don't need to know where we're headed. When we
dive deeper into this information, we must take the journey
and see what comes of the information. It's all part
of the investigation. Even if we think a tip is
totally bananas, we still have to do our due diligence,
And in twenty twenty one, this is how an unusual
case involving three unexplained deaths ended up on our radar.
Back in twenty twenty one, a listener submitted an interesting
tip about an unsettling case that they'd heard about on
the podcast Trace Evidence. They thought the True Crime Bullshit
Team should look into it. This case hadn't come on
our radar before, but after spending some time looking into it,
we realized that it needed a deep dive, most notably
because it occurred in a Keys hotspot during a time
that he was in the area and during a time
in which the FBI believes Keys committed at least one
homicide in California. After Tooks listened to the Trace Evidence episode,
she shared with the team the peculiar string of events
that led to the unresolved deads of a man and
woman and the murder of a police officer, and this
particular crime reminded all of us of that triple homicide.
Key said he almost committed at Point warrens Off in
twenty eleven, and then.
Speaker 2: During this time frame.
Speaker 3: This is also the time frame you talked about Point
warns Off for out in that Harry, right, Yeah, right
after you're about the silencer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was I think I went up Togo River
after that incident because because a lot of police starting
around Acros after.
Speaker 3: Dark and and the time out at Point warns Off.
How late was that when that? I mean, how was
it about eleven o'clock? Was about eleven o'clock?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 3: And you think that was mid help? How far before
you left for you left on June third to go
to or how many days or weeks was that before that?
Speaker 2: I would have been in May sometime probably mid May?
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: And do you know for sure if it was an
APD officer or was.
Speaker 4: It it was two of them?
Speaker 3: Definitely not airport police.
Speaker 2: No, I'm pretty sure I saw the car.
Speaker 4: I think it said it had the big it may
it may have been an airport police if their cars
looked the same, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: It looked like me.
Speaker 3: Do you remember what kind of car was there other
than the police car. What car were you watch it?
Speaker 2: It was a super station wagon. I think what color?
Navy blue or darker? Maybe? I don't know why I
was thinking about shooting the cop.
Speaker 6: I I had always been, you know, ever since I
was a kid. It's like, I don't know, white supremacy
roots or something. That's what I was gonna that. I
was gonna a wish a cop someday.
Speaker 2: And for some reason that night, I had been sitting
there long enough.
Speaker 6: And I was just bored enough and just amped up
enough that I almost did it. And then that other
cop showed up as backup showed up, cause I I
was just uh, I was just really psyched, I guess
about the gun, and I just kind of started thinking
about what it would be like, cause like, you wouldn't
even hear if I had shot him.
Speaker 2: You know, you wouldn't have even here and heard anything.
Speaker 6: You just would have been standing there at the window
one minute and the next minute he would have just
been on the ground.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't have even known what happened. I mean, nobody
wouldn't known him.
Speaker 7: You wouldn't have been able to hear anything, right, But
fortunately for everybody there it was uh like the other
guy showed up.
Speaker 2: I just decided to.
Speaker 6: To get back under control for a couple more weeks.
Speaker 1: Studio both and is sponsored by Betterhelp. Sometimes it can
feel like everyone around you has it all together in
their love lives, whether married, dating, or single. The truth
is most of us are still figuring it out and
finding our ways. Being in a relationship can be just
as tough as being single, and no matter where you
are in your romantic journey, therapy can help you find
your way, can help you determine what you want, what
feels heavy, and how you can take some pressure off yourself. Look,
I've been with my partner for fifteen years and it's
still a struggle growing together, evolving together, juggling your needs,
your wants, your alone time, and therapy has made those
fifteen years possible. It's February, which means Valentines, which means flowers, candy,
stuffed animals, and of course lots of talk about relationships
and dating. No relationship is perfect. We all have stuff
we have to work through, so we all need to
stop trying to be the perfect couple, or in a
perfect relationship, or find the perfect person. We need to
be kind to ourselves, take it easy and figure out
how to navigate relationships with the help of a licensed professional.

two thousand and six, thirty eight year old Sacramento County
Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell set off for patrol. Deputy Mitchell enjoyed
working the night shift because it gave him the opportunity
to spend time with his six year old son Jake,
with his wife, Cristel before heading into work. Known as
a doting family man, Deputy Mitchell kept a laminated photograph
of Crystal and Jake inside his badge. He was dedicated
to his loved ones and his career. Mitchell didn't start
his career in law enforcement after high school. He spent
five years in the United States Air Force serving as
a security officer, and after completing his military service, Mitchell
earned a teaching certificate from California State University, Sacramento. He
substitute taught for a few years before deciding to switch
to a career in law enforcement. Initially Mitchell worked for
the Rio Consunas Correctional Center in Elk Grove, California. There
he utilized his love of teaching, serving as a recreation
technician and helping lead the center's physical education program. In
two thousand and two, he switched to a position as
a deputy and started serving on patrols. And colleagues have
said that Deputy Mitchell took his love of teaching into
his work as a police officer and that it made
him great with community relations. He was also known for
his infectious smile, selflessness, and a love for baseball. As
October twenty sixth became Friday, October twenty seventh, Deputy Mitchell
was on patrol in a rural area of Sacramento County
called Slow House, which is about twenty miles outside of Sacramento.
At around three thirty am, Deputy Mitchell sent a message
to dispatch using his vehicle's computer. His message let dispatch
know that he was initiating a traffic stop near Mason
Dillard Roads off Highway sixteen. A white Chevrolet van did
not have license plates and there appeared to be one
occupant inside. Seven minutes after receiving the message, the dispatcher
on duty heard Deputy Mitchell's radio clicking. The dispatcher tried
calling the deputy's police radio but received no response. Then
they tried Mitchell's cell phone, still no answer. It was
clear that something was wrong. Within twelve seconds, the dispatcher
called a Code three, sending police with lights and sirens
to Mice and Dillard Roads. The first responding officer found
Deputy Mitchell lying on the road behind his vehicle. He
was bleeding from a single gunshot wound to the head,
his pulse weakened as he clung to life. Soon dozens
of police officers arrived on the scene, trying to assist
Deputy Mitchell and determine what went wrong who had shot
their fellow officer. Sadly, for almost two decades now, these
questions have persisted, and at the time, investigators had no
idea how much this mystery was about to deca According
to an interview with s f gate dot com, then
Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinnis told reporters, this may be
a hunch and we may never have the answer, but
it is my belief that there was something that heightened
Deputy Mitchell's response because it does look like he had
begun to handcuff a suspect. Investigators believe that a fight
ensued with Deputy Mitchell losing control of his pistol. A
massive manhunt for the white Chevrolet van began, with electronic
highway signs broadcasting the message officer shot white Chevy van
no plate. Over the years, Crystal Mitchell has told reporters
that she remembers seeing those alerts in the early hours
of October twenty seventh on her heartbreaking drive to the
hospital to say goodbye to her husband. She wasn't allowed
to touch him, as investigators told her they needed to
preserve all evidence. At four forty five am on October
twenty seven, six, Deputy Mitchell was pronounced dead. When Cristel
returned home, she sat down with their six year old son,
Jake to inform him of the news. Regarding his father,
Cristel told the press, Jake asked me how he died.
I told him a bad man shot his daddy. He
wanted to know where, and I told him in the head.
And his next question was why the doctors couldn't put
a band aid on him and fix him. While loved
ones began to process the senseless murder of a beloved
father and police officer. The search for the white van
and Deputy Mitchell's killer or killers continued. While driving along
Highway forty nine in El Dorado County, a couple who
had seen the Bolo signs earlier noticed something strange near
the town of Plymouth, California. In the Consumer's River down
below the highway, there was a white van in the water.
Something wasn't right, and the vehicle looked like the one
on the highway signs, so the couple reported the siding
to police. The half submerged van was about thirty minutes
from where Deputy Mitchell was murdered, but while investigators believed
finding the vehicle would lead them to Mitchell's killer, it
actually opened up a whole new investigation. Law enforcement responded
to the floating, half submerged van and discovered something shocking.
Inside were the bodies of a man and woman, later
identified as Alan Everett Schubert forty three and Nicole Ann Welch,
twenty eight. The van was registered to Schubert, whose body
was found in the driver's seat, with Welch discovered in
the rear of the van. There were no obvious signs
of what had caused the pair's deaths. Schubert resided in
Sacramento and Welch in the Sacramento suburb of North Highlands.
According to friends, Schubert lived and worked as a handyman
in mechanic, sometimes operating out of his van, which was
filled with his tools. He had offered Nicole Well to
ride up to Jackson, where she planned to visit a friend.
Schubert did plan to stay long as he had an
upcoming court appearance in Sacramento. While Schubert did have a
number of charges on his record, none of them were violent.
His mother, Carolyn, told The Sacramento Bee a detective came
to her home to question her about Deputy Mitchell's murder. However,
police quickly ruled out any involvement by Welch or Schubert.
The pair were likely already deceased when Deputy Mitchell initiated
the traffic stop. Police also quickly ruled out suicide, in
part after learning that Schubert had plans to move in
with his girlfriend, Robin soon.
Speaker 2: Later.
Speaker 1: Reports from the Sacramento Bee indicated that Schubert, who was
five foot eight and approximately two hundred pounds, had some
marks on him that indicated potential physical trauma, though the
marks could have also occurred. Post mortem autopsies would eventually
determine that Welch and Schubert had died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
But how exactly if investigators know. They've yet to publicly
release that information. Police tried to deny a link between
Schubert's van and Deputy Mitchell's murder. It's unclear why they
initially took this stance. However, it soon became undeniable that
the trio's deaths were all linked. Once investigators shifted their
stance on the three deaths being connected, law enforcement was
quick to affirm that Nicole Welch and Alan Schubert were
not responsible for Deputy Mitchell's murder. Nicole and Allen were
dead before Deputy Mitchell was murdered, and so the prevailing
theory became that Mitchell stumbled upon the van while someone
was trying to dispose of Welch and Schubert's bodies. So
what happened? Assuming the driver went the speed limit, it
would have taken them about twenty seven minutes to get
from Mace Road to the spot in the river where
Schubert's van was found, and detectives believe that Deputy Mitchell's
killer immediately dumped the van. So there are a number
of theories that could explain this case. There are rumors
that police know who killed Deputy Mitchell, but don't have
enough evidence to charge this person, who some say has
fled to Mexico. Some media reports also allege that Schubert
and Welch had ties to meth. Carbon monoxide poisoning is
a known risk associated with meth production, so could this
explain the pair's death. Was an involved party attempting to
dispose of their bodies when they encountered Deputy Mitchell. This
theory is certainly the strongest and most plausible, and it
appears to be where police lean. However, it's worth examining
if something else happened. Did someone keys or another person
murder Welch and Schubert, and, once discovered by Deputy Mitchell,
shoot the officer to cover their tracks. As far as
Kisa's potential connection, there are several areas of interest worth
exploring here.
Speaker 6: There were a couple of times that I moved you know,
cars and stuff of theirs, but it's not like I kidnapped.
When the cardjaking thing didn't work out, I decided I
was going to look for a house with a couple
in it.
Speaker 1: The first point of interest for us was from the
clip we played earlier this episode regarding Keys's thwarted plans
at point Warren's off. His description of what happened there
is eerily similar to what happened with Schubert, Welch and Mitchell.
A male female couple turned up dead in their vehicle
and a police officer was shot and killed at the scene.
Speaker 2: He said, the.
Speaker 6: Accuracy for a distance with this one, you could actually
get this one to be accurate for a long distance. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hum, yeah, how did you know that? I mean, how
could you touch that?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 2: I shot it? I mean I sh I probably I
took it up in their woods out and shoegash and
I had it. I had a whole target system set
up there. I had you give away my grand plane here.
But I had.
Speaker 6: A moving target system to where I could trip the
target and it would start rolling downhill on a pulley.
Speaker 2: And it was just a piece of printer paper.
Speaker 6: But then I would put a black mark like spray
paying a black mark about that big fra an ame
point and that's what that's what I was shooting at
with it at about fifty yards and that was Uh,
that was the plan I had.
Speaker 7: I didn't actually ended up ended up doing it that
way then.
Speaker 2: Uh. That's the.
Speaker 1: Secondly, Keyes had ties to Sacramento. His grandmother lived there
and he visited her several times. In just six months
after the deaths of Schubert and Welch and the murder
of Mitchell, Keyes was one hour away from slow House,
kayaking and camping alone while Kim was staying at a
nearby resort. That same night, there was an arson at
a school just fifteen miles from where Mitchell was found dead.
This is the same two day period that the FBI
believes Keyes murdered someone in northern California, and we believe
that someone may have been at minimum Noam Young of
San Bruno, California, a town car driver who was dispatched
to an unknown location and never returned. Records indicate that
from July seventh to the tenth of twenty ten, Keyes
turned off his phone while in Sacramento. He also rented
a car during this period from July ninth to July twelfth,
so it's certainly an area where he was up to
something during at least one period in time. We've explored
missing persons who vanished during this blackout period at length
and other episodes, but as a quick aside, it's worth
noting that one of these cases recently saw some movement.
Linda Lee Haney, thirty nine, was last seen in northern
California in late June twenty ten and reported missing in July.
We often wondered if Keys could have been responsible for
her disappearance, given his close proximity to the area at
the time and the details surrounding Haney's disappearance. However, in
November of twenty twenty five, investigators announced that they'd arrested
and charged a man from Tennessee in connection with Linda
Hainey's disappearance and presumed murder. Her body has still not
been recovered, but we can almost certainly rule Keys out
in this case moving forward. As we have also covered
at length multiple times, we believe that Keyes buried a
cash at Lake Paris in southern California. There are credible
sightings placing him in the area, and names forty five
cases also point to a southern California victim or victims
and in October two thousand six, the same week that Mitchell,
Allen and Schubert died, Keyes was in California. On October
twenty one of six Keys flew from Seattle to San Diego.
On the twenty second, he crossed into Mexico at the
Sandy Cadro California Pedestrian Border crossing, but the travel records
after this are murky. According to the FBI's records, there's
information for a flight on October twenty third from San
Diego to Seattle, followed by a flight from Seattle to
Anchorage on the same day. However, there's also a Seattle
to Anchorage flight on November eighth. Did Keyes stay behind
in California and or Seattle before heading back to Alaska
on November eighth? Did Keys road trip through California to
Oregon and Washington? Or did he fly with Kim from
San Diego back to Seattle on October twenty third? What
was he up to during these sixteen days? This is
a trip. We're currently exploring more and we will report
back if we uncover any additional points of interest or
confirmation on further details. While Keys claims to have only
shot and killed one person, Bill Courier, and preferred to
strangle as victims. It is of note to mention that
serial killers Angelo Poino and Kenneth Bianchi experimented with carbon
monoxide poisoning. Anne Charlene and Gerald Gallego killed teenagers Kippi,
Jacqueline Vaught and Rondeli Scheffler on September eleventh, nineteen seventy
eight in Slow House, California. Bueno and Bianchi are covered
in Mind Hunter, and Gallego is featured in Roy Hazelwood's
book Dark Dreams, two true crime books we know Keyes read,
which leads us to another strange coincidence.
Speaker 2: Well, there was a book I read years and years ago.
They gave me a lot of ideas.
Speaker 6: But I can't really blame that because those are Dane stuff.
Speaker 2: When I read that book, But I gave you ideas. Yeah,
what the book was that It's called Intensity, like Dean
Kuhn's back.
Speaker 1: When Tooks first told me about the Schubert Mitchell Welch case,
it sounded incredibly familiar, like I'd read about it before.
But the more we talked about it, the more confused
I got. It was similar but different from the case
that I'd read about as I remembered it. It was
three men who were killed. Not long after I realized
what I was actually remembering a chapter from Mister Murder,
the Dean Kunz book that was found in the shed
where Keys murdered at Samantha Koonig. It's the Dean Koon's
book that makes intensity look like Nobel Prize material. I'm
not going to refresh your memories on this book because
every time I try to describe it, my brain fries
and my eyes ache from rolling. But what I will
tell you is there is a chapter in this terrible
book about a killer sneaking into a parked van, killing
one passenger in the front seat and another in the
rear of the van, then using dser to decompose their bodies,
and eventually waiting for a cop to arrive before then
killing him at the scene too. And this occurs in
Mammoth Lakes, California, just two hundred miles southeast of Slow House.
Maybe these coincidences are innocuous, but throughout our research into keys,
we find a lot of strange connections like these, and
we can't overlook that much of keys. As m o
seems to have been derived from Mister Murder, which was
published in nineteen ninety three. Here just a few passages
from the book. After leaving the dead bodies at the
job site, he should have broken the weapon down into
as many pieces as possible. He should have disposed of
its parts in widely separated locations, the barrel in a
storm drain, perhaps half the frame in the creek, the
other half in a dumpster, until nothing was left. This
is almost identical to what happened after the couriers. The
book goes on with He parks the rental Ford in
a residential neighborhood and walks three blocks, trying the doors
of the cars at the curb. Only half are locked.
He is prepared to hot wire a car if it
comes to that, but in a blue Honda, he finds
the keys tucked behind the sun visor, driving back to
the Ford and transferring his suit cases and the pistol
to the Honda. Again eerily similar to what happened with
the couriers. With credit cards, someone will surely be able
to track him through his purchases. He will need to
pay cash from now on. He swaps the license plates
on the Honda for those on a Chevy, making his
stolen vehicle more difficult to locate. The neighbors couldn't have
heard gunshots above the raging storm. The killer's mo in
the book is this he would carjack someone or steal
a car, take off or swap the license plates, use
their car in the commission of a murder, then abandon
it and find a new one, always covering his tracks
and keeping his known location as far as possible from
the location of his crime. Sound familiar and this book
largely takes place in Las Vegas, Riverside, Barstow, and the
surrounding deserts and forests, all areas Keys spent a significant
amount of time in whether or not Keys had any
involvement in the deaths of Mitchell, Schubert, and Welch. This
case also highlights something we've encountered often in our research.
Certain victims or missing people are treated differently by police
and the media, especially if the victims have a history
of drug use or come from lower socioeconomic means. While
there are countless details about Deputy Mitchell, there is very
little information available about the other two victims in this case,
Nicole Welch and Alan Schubert, the two victims debts who
undoubtedly led to Deputy Mitchell's From what we have learned,
Schubert was a skilled mechanic with a deep knowledge of cars.
He was a son, brother, uncle, and boyfriend. He loved
animals and left behind a dog named Brutus. His obituary
noted that his mom, Carolyne, was his biggest hero, and
in lieu of flowers, loved ones were asked to donate
to the Sacramento Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Even a few months before drafting this episode, one of
Alan's friends commented on his online obituary that they are
still thinking of and missing him nearly twenty years later. Unfortunately,
there is even less information available publicly about Nicole Welch. However,
we know the families and loved ones of all three
individuals are still hoping for answers to understand what happened
in late October two thousand and six. Outside Sacramento. In
twenty fifteen, thieves stole a bench and other mementoes from
a memorial erected for Deputy Mitchell. A year later, thanks
to support from the community, a new bench was installed
near the site of his murder. The baseball field in
El Dorado Hills was also named in Deputy Mitchell's honor
to commemorate his love of baseball and his care immunity.
In twenty sixteen, ten years after his death, Schubert's mother,
Caroline died. She never got answers on what happened to
her son. On October twenty seventh, twenty twenty five, the
nineteen year anniversary of Deputy Mitchell's death, his son Jake
shared this tribute on social media. There's so many things
I could say about my dad. First off, just that
I miss him more than words will ever explain. Being
six when he was taken from us meant that so
many memories in life were taken from my family and me.
Never got to play catch, getting taught to shave, teaching
me how to throw a curveball, or watching Red Zone
on Sundays. I still know every day he's looking down
on my family and supporting us and being our angel.
But there's always that what if, what if he was
still here feeling every day? There's one thing I've heard
from all my dad's friends and family. He was always smiling,
no matter what. The Asian or time of day, just
bringing pure joy to everyone he met. I still live
and abide by this myself, hoping to carry that part
of him with me everywhere I go. He touched so
many people's lives, and hopefully one day we can get
justice for whoever took him away from us. If you
know anything, please let the Sacramento Sheriff's Office know. It
would mean the world to us. Unfortunately, our repeated Foye
attempts for this case have been denied, at least for now,
But it's a case like Linda Haney's that we're keeping
on our radar, whether or not Keys was involved. We
hope the families of Nicole Welch, Alan Schubert and Deputy
Jeffrey Mitchell get answers soon.
