Israel Keyes

Downtime around the holidays. Here's 2019 true crime reading you need to catch up on.

Let's just say, the already creepy Israel Keyes had some pretty creepy friends growing up.

The FBI says Israel Keyes is still considered a serial killing case, but documents obtained by author Maureen Callahan say otherwise.

Israel Keyes may have been trying to turn himself into the perfect murderer, Maureen Callahan, author of "American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century," theorizes.  

Pair this hangover remedy with Episode #99, “The Alaskan Serial Killer.”

“He would come in to work and brag about his daughter," Jim Thompson remembered. "He was a loving dad, a doting father.”

"Israel Keyes was one of the most meticulous serial killers that I’ve ever come across," said former FBI Special Agent Bobby Chacon.

"I haven't seen anything like it," said FBI Special Agent Jolene Goeden.

 "As soon as the video camera went on, we saw obvious human remains," said former FBI Special Agent Bobby Chacon.

Keyes kidnapped 18-year-old Samantha Koenig while she was working at a local coffee shop.
