WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:05.879 What motivates a serial killer? For some, it's sheer hatred 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.040 against humankind. 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.359 He was punishing those who had the good fortune. You're 4 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.080 raised in a warm, loving home. 5 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.679 Some of these murderers seek revenge for an abusive childhood. 6 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.719 They're destroying them out of a need for vengeance. 7 00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.440 And then there are others who just simply love to kill. 8 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.799 Israel Keys killed because he enjoyed it. You got a 9 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.880 journaline rush from it. You love the thrill of it. 10 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:46.159 What creates these cold blooded monsters? What drives their work? Psyche? 11 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.240 Now the actual voices and visions of serial killers? 12 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.679 Once I started, you know, and there was nothing else. 13 00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:00.240 Like it, plunges deep inside their complex and twisted mind. 14 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.920 February first, twenty twelve. It's a cold winter's night in Anchorage. 15 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.079 A heinous crime is about to be committed. Eighteen year 16 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.359 old Samantha Koenig is working alone at the common Ground's 17 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:33.200 coffee hunt. 18 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.239 A little bit before closing time that night, A tall 19 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.040 man in a dark coat walked up to the window 20 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.799 and he ordered an Americano coffee. And he stood there 21 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.920 and watched as Samantha turned around and made it. When 22 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.400 she turned back around, he had pulled a gun on her. 23 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.359 Shocked and surprised, Samantha raises her hands as if being 24 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:56.959 held up. 25 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.840 He tells her it's a robbery. She kind of steps back, surprised. 26 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.280 He then ends up coming in through the window, climbs 27 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.719 in through the window and ties her up with some 28 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.039 zip ties, and then forces her at gunpoint out of 29 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.759 the coffee stand and walks her back to his car. 30 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.319 The abductor's name is Israel Keys. He is a serial 31 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.520 killer responsible for a steady string of brutal murders for 32 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:24.919 more than a dozen years. 33 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.120 Keys didn't have a real victim profile. He was pretty 34 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.759 unusual for serial killers. He didn't have a certain race, 35 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.599 or a certain age, or certain sex that he targeted. 36 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:42.199 He was much more random. It was more opportunity crimes 37 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.960 with him, just who happened to be at the wrong 38 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.000 place at the wrong time, And for Samantha Konig, she 39 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.879 was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Keys 40 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.520 had decided that he was going to rob this particular 41 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.680 common Grounds coffee shop. That's originally what he planned on doing, 42 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.120 just robbing it, but when he got to it, when 43 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.960 he saw Samantha, he changed his mind and decided to 44 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:05.360 take her. 45 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.120 Gees tries to keep his captive calm by telling her 46 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.159 it's only a kidnapping. He's going to hold her for ransom. 47 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.560 He takes Samantha Kney to the shed next to his 48 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:25.840 home and binds and gags her. Incredibly, his living girlfriend 49 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.479 and ten year old daughter are in the house just 50 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.560 several feet away. 51 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.919 He took her into the shed, closed it up, tied 52 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.919 her up in there, left her in the shed. He 53 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.520 then actually got information from her and went to her 54 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.400 house where her truck was parked outside to get her wallet, 55 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.000 to get her ATM card and some other things. Came 56 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.199 back to the shed where she was still subdued, and 57 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.120 then that's when he raped her. 58 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:02.919 Still Samantha praise, she will survive horror, Hoping it's only 59 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.680 a kidnapping, she gives Keys her ATM pin number, But 60 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.560 she'd never had a chance. Once Keys made up his mind. 61 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.759 Back at the coffee hut, Keys strangles the helpless young woman. 62 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.160 Well, he enjoyed the thrill, the adrenaline rush of it. 63 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.759 He enjoyed having control over his victims. He enjoyed seeing 64 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.279 their fear. He raped his victims. 65 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:28.839 We know that. 66 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.920 Astoundingly. After the murder, Keys immediately returns to his normal life. 67 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.800 So after he kills Samantha, he drink a glass of wine, 68 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.959 calmly went back into the house where his daughter was 69 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.519 sleeping and his girlfriend was sleeping, and later on that 70 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.560 very morning, they all leave for a pre planned vacation. 71 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.079 They fly to Houston and then drive to New Orleans 72 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.600 for a cruise. 73 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.759 For a one week cruise, Keys doesn't have time to 74 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.519 just of Samantha's body. 75 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.279 Prior to the trip, before leaving, he had put Samantha's 76 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.639 body in a cabinet in the shed, the thought being 77 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.160 that it's so cold an anchorage in the middle of 78 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.160 winter that her body would be perfectly preserved there while 79 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:16.720 he was gone. 80 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.079 Meanwhile, a frenzied hunt begins for Samantha. Her dad launches 81 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:30.680 a grassroots campaign to find his daughter. Upon returning home Israel, 82 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.480 Keys calmly checks back on Samantha's corpse. 83 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.519 When he gets back, Samantha's bodies frozen solid in the cabinet. 84 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.439 There is some difficult to getting it out. Actually, he 85 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:47.199 takes the body out, faws it out with heaters, has 86 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:48.920 sex with a corpse. 87 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.399 Then, in a horrifying turn, Keys makes a successful ransom 88 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.079 demand by sending a photo of the young woman made 89 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:04.920 up to appear alive. He applies makeup so's her eyes 90 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.839 open with fishing line and poses the body alongside an 91 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.959 addition of the Anchorage Daily News from four days earlier. 92 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.800 And then ultimately ends up cutting her up into pieces, 93 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.519 dismembering the body to get rid of it, puts some 94 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.519 body parts in trash bags and hauls them to a lake, 95 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.879 a frozen lake near Anchorage and cuts a hole in 96 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.639 the ice, drops the bags into the water, weighs them down, 97 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.079 and lets him sink to the bottom of the lake. 98 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.240 On March sixth, with their ATM card in hand, Israel 99 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.800 key As flies to Las Vegas and rents a car, 100 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.639 and a dramatic chase begins. At this point, police think 101 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.360 they are tracking a kidnapper. They have no reason to 102 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.480 believe he is a serial murderer. They have no clues 103 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.040 to his identity and no concept of the enormous depth 104 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.439 of his crimes. Keys as a thirty four year old 105 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.399 psychopathic serial killer, and like so many of these monsters, 106 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.000 he's able to commit these grisly crimes while still carrying 107 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.720 on a normal life. 108 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.519 Somehow, he was able to just maintain this dual existence 109 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.040 having these two separate identities, the one of the family man, 110 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.720 the devoted father, and the one as the killer. 111 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.240 Detective Malcolm Rieman encountered these types of violent psychopaths for 112 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.480 over thirty years as a New York City Police Department 113 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:44.720 homicide investigator. He specialized in sexual predator and serial killer cases. 114 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.360 People expect to see serial killers as being some type 115 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:56.519 of drooling, maniac, creepy, maniacal person, and it's not really 116 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:02.920 the case, and what you'll often find is charming, articulate, friendly, 117 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:04.959 normal people. 118 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:11.279 The FBI defines psychopathy as a personality disorder manifested in 119 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.759 people who use a mixture of charm, manipulation, intimidation, and 120 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.639 sometimes violence to control others and satisfy their own selfish needs. 121 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.519 Psychopathic serial murderers have no empathy for their victims and 122 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:35.799 no remorse for their crimes, and sadly, they're surprisingly hard 123 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:36.320 to spot. 124 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.519 Israel Key's had his own business in a construction business. 125 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:49.080 All his clients reported that he seemed very normal. He 126 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.039 seemed very friendly most of the time. He seemed nothing 127 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.879 unusual about him. The neighbors reported seemed to seem like 128 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.639 a normal, friendly guy from all appearances. 129 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.960 But is Israel Keys is far from normal. He sets 130 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.399 out from Las Vegas on a determined drive across the Southwest. 131 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:14.399 He heads through Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Along the way, 132 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.840 he stops several times to withdraw ransom money from Samantha's 133 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:18.759 ATM account. 134 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.480 When he made the withdrawal, there would be a king 135 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.000 basically on the investigator's system. They would know the card's 136 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.720 been used at this location, so they would rush to 137 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.399 the location. But of course, by the time they got there, 138 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.519 Keys is a long time. He was off in another 139 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:34.440 town somewhere else. 140 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.480 Investigators still have no idea who the kidnapper is, what 141 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.759 kind of car is driving, or if Samantha is with 142 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:49.320 him on his journey. Meanwhile, Samantha's disappearance has now gained 143 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.399 national attention, fueled by her father's relentless efforts to save 144 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:58.759 his daughter. Israel Keys is cleverly staying one step ahead 145 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.159 of law enforcement. But then the man known as the 146 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:06.559 most meticulous serial killer of the twenty first century makes 147 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:12.639 an uncharacteristic mistake and police uncovers shocking truths about this 148 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:19.519 heartless serial killer. Alaska's serial killer Israel. Keys abducts eighteen 149 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.480 year old Samantha Koenig and brutally rapes and murders the 150 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:29.039 young woman. He stashes her body in a cabinet and 151 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:34.600 calmly leaves on a family vacation. Upon his return, he 152 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.039 dismembers the corpse and drops the remains in a frozen lake, 153 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.720 but still convinces her father and the police she's only 154 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:48.000 been kidnapped. Now, law enforcement is tracking Keys through the 155 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.960 southwest United States by the use of Samantha's at M card, 156 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:57.080 hoping she is still alive. What's going on inside the 157 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.720 warped mind of this killer and what drives him towards 158 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.279 these heinous acts. Keys is energized by his crime and 159 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.679 craves more thrills well. 160 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.679 In addition to using the ATM card. While he was 161 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.279 in Texas, Key's also decided he was going to rob 162 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.799 a bank. This is something he'd done before. He'd robbed 163 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.080 several banks before in the past. He found a house 164 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.039 in a small town in Texas to ledo Texas. He 165 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.879 broke into the house, burglarized it for what he could, 166 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.440 and then set it on fire. And the point is 167 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.679 setting it on fire was for diversion, So, in other words, 168 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.879 he planned on the fire, drawing out the police from 169 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.000 the nearby town so that he could then go to 170 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:39.960 the town and rob the bank, which he did and 171 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.600 rob the bank in Leigo, Texas. 172 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:49.759 The anonymous murderer continues across the Southwest, but finally investigators 173 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.320 catch a break. It's an uncharacteristic slip up for a 174 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.720 killer whose precise planning has kept him under the radar 175 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:02.440 for many years. At one of his withdrawals, the security 176 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:06.720 camera catches a glimpse of keys rental car. It's a 177 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.600 white twenty twelve Ford Focus. 178 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.080 And it wasn't until they got the video of his 179 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.440 rental car that they had something concrete that could actually 180 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.600 searched for. So then the FBAI put out of a 181 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:27.559 polo beyond the lookout for this twenty twelve white Ford Focus. 182 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.240 On March thirteenth, a Texas Highway patrol and spots the 183 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.519 White Ford in the parking lot of a quality in 184 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.840 motel in Lufkin, Texas. 185 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.559 He's got in the car, drove off, and they pulled 186 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.480 him over. In the car they found an addition, obviously 187 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:47.440 to the strangeness of this driver, having an Alaska driver's license. 188 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.879 They also found Samantha Koonig's cell phone. They found Samantha 189 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:57.279 Konigs atm card, a gun cash with the inkstand on 190 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.039 it from robbery, and they knew they had their. 191 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.639 Before we ask any questions, listeners stand your rights. 192 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.639 You have the rights will be in silent. Anything you 193 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.279 say can use the usty board. 194 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.639 Do you have the right to talk to a lawyer 195 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:21.919 for advice before. 196 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.600 We ask you questions? 197 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.480 You have the right to have a word with you 198 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.840 during question if you cannot afford a. 199 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.399 Lawyer who will be appointed for you affording questions. 200 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:35.399 The Anchorage police and the FBI interrogate Keys, still having 201 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:40.279 no idea he may be involved in any other murders. Sadly, 202 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.559 on March thirty first, twenty twelve, he gives a gruesome 203 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:50.440 confession of Samantha Koenik's torture and murder, and then the 204 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.080 complex psychology of Israel Keys begins to unveil. He hints 205 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.600 that there are other victims, many other victims. 206 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.759 There is no one who knows me or who has 207 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.399 ever known me, who knows anything about me. Really, they 208 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:11.000 know they're going to tell you something that does not 209 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.000 line up with anything I tell you because I'm. 210 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.159 Two different people basically. 211 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.919 And the only person who knows about what I'm telling 212 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.759 you the kind of things I'm telling. 213 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:22.000 You is me. 214 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:24.200 How long have you been too? 215 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:24.840 Different people? 216 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.519 A long time? Fourteen years. 217 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.080 Over the next nine months, investigators attempt to piece together 218 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.200 other crimes Keys may have committed. More than forty hours 219 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.600 of complex interrogation and psychological maneuvering reveals a killer with 220 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.039 a shockingly precise method for serial murder. 221 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.600 In the case of Israel Keys, even after he was arrested, 222 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.840 he still felt the need to try to contry the situation, 223 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.519 control law enforcement, and make the situation as beneficial for himself, 224 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.600 despite the fact that he was apprehended as a serial killer. So, 225 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.480 for example, he was only willing to give very limited 226 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.360 information to police even though they had arrested him. So 227 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.759 he was willing to negotiate, but he had very specific 228 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.039 stipulations associated with all of the information he was willing 229 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.200 to give out, and he was only willing to give 230 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.639 out more once the stipulations were fulfilled. 231 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.840 Investigators hope he'll cooperate and help bring closure to the 232 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:38.480 victims' families. While Keys often focuses on receiving coffees and cigars. 233 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:43.960 First of all, do I get a cigar today? 234 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:49.320 What I can do is I can give you something. 235 00:15:51.240 --> 00:16:02.759 Get that cigar. There was a bank robbery in tupper Lake. 236 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:09.480 That was me, and I'm sure it was probably the 237 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:13.720 only bank robbery in that town for a while. 238 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:21.159 Security cam photos confirm Key's account. The investigators and Keys 239 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.480 share a laugh about using real hair for his disguises. 240 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.879 Key's response is chilling your. 241 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:30.879 Use real hair when you buy real hair. 242 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.960 You don't have to buy real hair to get real hair. 243 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:51.159 Fair enough, I guess you just take it. Hairs free. 244 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:55.120 Everything's free if you take it. 245 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.080 He wanted to have control. He seem to enjoy toying 246 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.079 with the investigators as well. He would generally allude to 247 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.480 certain crimes without giving details or specifics, leaving the investigators 248 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.599 wanting more and more from him and kind of drawing 249 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:15.519 them along that way. 250 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:21.440 Interrogating these cunning serial killers can be very challenging for investigators. 251 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.279 Detectives call the interrogation room the box. 252 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.759 When I'm in the interview room, when I'm in the 253 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:31.039 box with the serial killer, before I go in there, 254 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.440 I want to know everything about that person. I want 255 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.240 to know every intricate detail about that person's life. 256 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.599 I want to know about. 257 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.920 The traumatic things that happened in childhood. I want to 258 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:46.240 know about previous crimes. I want to know everything about them. 259 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.240 I want them to feel transparent. I want them to 260 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.960 feel like there's nothing that they can hide from me 261 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:54.599 that either I know or I'm going to find out. 262 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.920 Experienced detectives learn how to read nonverbal cue and how 263 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.799 to manipulate the suspect to get the information they need. 264 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.359 Investigators notice that Israel Keys gets physically excited when he 265 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.119 talks about his skills, rapidly tapping his hands and feet 266 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.079 and jangling his shackles. It's a way detectives know when 267 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:25.559 he is telling the truth. With Israel Keys, this process 268 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:30.480 is extremely difficult. Keys agrees to continue to cooperate on 269 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.039 the condition that they keep his name out of the press. 270 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:37.519 We can work out some sort of a dreament that 271 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.279 you know, I give you all the answers on these cases. 272 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.839 Families get closure, You find his news. 273 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.680 As many of them as possible, and and in return 274 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.920 for that, you know, I you. 275 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.119 Know, I don't plan on being around a hole lot longer, 276 00:18:59.119 --> 00:18:59.359 But of. 277 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.079 Being concerned to me, is you know my kid's going 278 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:05.720 to be around. I don't want her to. 279 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.839 Like type my name into computer and it pop up late. 280 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.000 You know, he doesn't want his ten year old daughter 281 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.039 to hear about his grisly crimes. 282 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.680 I'm not for glory, and. 283 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:20.680 I don't see why the media has to get involved 284 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:20.960 at all. 285 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.119 FBI Special Agent Jolene Godin is part of the interrogation team. 286 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.680 He wanted the death penalty, and he wanted it fast. 287 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.359 It was speaking generally, that was what he wanted. There 288 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:39.039 were little things along the way that he wanted, you know, 289 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.240 he wanted evidence, return to family members and things like that. 290 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.759 But big picture, what he wanted. He wanted to avoid trials. 291 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.160 He wanted to avoid publicity and media. He wanted to 292 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.720 avoid being taken from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and tried in 293 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.039 you know, multiple places. And ultimately he wanted the death 294 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.960 penalty and he wanted it quickly. He didn't want to 295 00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.400 sit in jail for a long period of time. 296 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.559 Investigators tell Keys he won't get the death penalty without 297 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:09.519 other victims. He slowly begins to reveal information about others 298 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:13.279 he murders. They learn that Keys has been eluding capture 299 00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.720 through brilliant planning. He has studied the serial killers of 300 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.839 the past and idolizes Ted Bundy. But they're shocked to 301 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.559 discover that there's never been any serial killer quite like 302 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:33.440 Israel Keys. The FBI and the Anchorage, Alaska Police Department 303 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.119 are deep into the interrogation of serial killer Israel Keys. 304 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.680 Keys has already confessed to one heinous murder, but now 305 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:47.720 investigators are unraveling horrifying layers of complex and unspeakable crimes. 306 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.119 So Keys view the entire country as his hunting grounds. 307 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:53.200 So what he would do is, even though he was 308 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.279 based out of Alaska, Okay, out of Anchorage, he would 309 00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.039 fly to another city a say, for example, he fight 310 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.920 a Chicago, Okay. Once he got there to Chicago, he 311 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:04.680 would rent a car. He'd then drive that car to 312 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.960 a different state or through multiple states, putting on hundreds 313 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.680 even thousands of miles before he got to where he 314 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.359 actually committed the crime. So the crime was committed thousands 315 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.480 and thousands of miles away multiple jurisdictions, so it made 316 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.359 it very difficult to try to track him or come 317 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.680 up with any sort of suspect in the crimes. 318 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:27.440 Everything was meticulously planned and our interviews with him were 319 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:30.839 the same. From his standpoint. I mean, he I never 320 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.599 got the sense that he accidentally told us something or 321 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.880 got anger and riled up and then something flew out 322 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.000 of his mouth. He My sense was that he knew 323 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:40.599 every time he came in kind of what he was 324 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:43.720 going to give us that day. 325 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:47.599 In the chilling interview, Keys talks about his inspiration and 326 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.440 his motives other people like that. 327 00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:55.519 I probably know every single serial killer that's being written 328 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.279 about this kind. 329 00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.000 Of a hobby around. 330 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.559 I don't really consider myself all that different and all 331 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.440 that special from hundreds of thousands of other people. All 332 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.160 you have to do is type in a word search 333 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.880 on any given porn site, and you know there's all 334 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.640 kinds of people who have fantasies about rape and bondage 335 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.640 and you know, kinds of things that I take it 336 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:19.519 to another level. 337 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.079 I think with me, it's a combination of things. 338 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.559 It's not you know, it's not just about the sexual 339 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.799 fantasies and it's not it's definitely not just about the money, 340 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.599 and it's not just. 341 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.640 About the adrenaline. 342 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.160 But it's all of those things together, and that's what 343 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.319 I get out of it. And once I started doing, 344 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.640 you know, once I did it, once I started, you know, 345 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.880 and there was nothing else like it. 346 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.279 In his intricate planning, Keys even go so far as 347 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:54.839 to ury pre packed murder kits in at least five 348 00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.839 states around America Israel. 349 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.319 Keys put so much thought in prop and planning into 350 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:03.960 his crimes. He would use what he called kill kits. 351 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:09.000 These were five gallon plastic buckets. He would then put 352 00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:11.400 certain things in the buckets that he wanted to use 353 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.319 for his crimes. He would put guns in the buckets. 354 00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:16.279 He would put ammunition in the buckets. He would put 355 00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:18.039 zip ties in the buckets. He would put tape in 356 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.559 the buckets, flashlights, whatever he thought he would need. He'd 357 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:24.160 then seal up the bucket and bury it in the ground. 358 00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.200 He did this in multiple states. He did it in 359 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.000 New York and in Vermont. He did it in Washington, 360 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.640 he did in Alaska. Then he would return to these sites, 361 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.799 sometimes years later, and dig up the bucket, get the 362 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:39.599 items out, and then use them for the crime. 363 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.400 He even included caustic chemicals like dreno and lyne to 364 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.960 help dispose of the bodies. The kits allowed him to 365 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.920 travel without any weapons or tools to avoid security concerns 366 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.480 at airports. Keys referred to his kits as buried treasures. 367 00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:02.799 Investigators find that Keys uses guns to control his victims, 368 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:10.839 but that's not how he likes to kill. Keys takes 369 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.640 investigators through the killing of Bill and Lorraine Courier in Essex, Vermont, 370 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.240 in June of twenty eleven, four thousand miles from Anchorage. 371 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.279 It's a typical stalk and kill murder for this ruthless predator. 372 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:32.039 The couriers were chosen mostly at random, and I say 373 00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.279 mostly at random because there was a little bit of 374 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:38.400 a criteria involved, not for the victims themselves, not for 375 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.119 their carriers themselves, but for their home. He's had certain 376 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.839 things he was looking for that particular night. He wanted 377 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:46.960 a one story building. He wanted a home with an 378 00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.720 attached garage. He wanted a home that it looked like 379 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.200 there weren't any children there. And unfortunately for the Couriers, 380 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:57.200 their home fit the profile to a t. He called 381 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:01.000 it a blitzkrieg attack. He broke in through the no 382 00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:03.759 one could see him. He was attached garage, so he 383 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.519 broke in the window in the garage door, broke into 384 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.799 the kitchen of the house. Immediately stormed into the key's 385 00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.839 bedroom and surprised them, subdued them, and took them away. 386 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.319 But Keyes says he was unhappy it didn't go according 387 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:20.200 to his plan and he had to shoot Bill Currier. 388 00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.000 He typically liked to strangle his victims to death. It 389 00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:28.119 was kind of a more personal murder, hands on literally 390 00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:31.279 the killing. So in the case of Bill Currier as 391 00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:34.680 the murder victim in Vermont, he was shot and killed, 392 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.599 which is very unusual for keys to do. And the 393 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.480 reason why keys did it is Bill Currier was not cooperating, 394 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.240 not following directions. Ultimately, there's a loss of control of 395 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.480 the situation. There was screaming and shouting and was not 396 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.559 following instructions, not following directions from keys, and this loss 397 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.680 of control anger Keys. It pissed him off and he 398 00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.519 reacted violently shot him hoped times. 399 00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:06.319 Keyes states he was disappointed because he had other plans 400 00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:07.440 for Bill Carrier. 401 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:12.359
