Serial Killer Documentary: Israel Keyes | Highway Serial Killers

Описание: This episode is part of our Highway Serial Killers true crime documentary series, exploring serial killers who used America’s highways to hunt, travel, and disappear.

For 14 years, Israel Keyes moved silently across America. No clear victim profile. No trophies. No obvious pattern. Just kill kits buried in random states, bank robberies, arsons, and people who vanished without a trace.

In this episode, we retrace the FBI’s steps instead of starting with his childhood. We follow the case the way investigators lived it – from the disappearance of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, Alaska, to the shocking ransom photo, the ATM withdrawals across multiple states, and the moment a routine traffic stop finally brought Keyes into custody.

You’ll see how:
• Samantha Koenig was abducted from her coffee stand and used as leverage in a cruel game of cat and mouse
• Keyes kept up a “normal” life as a father, partner, veteran, and carpenter
• He built and buried “kill kits” around the U.S. so he could fly in, rent a car, dig one up, and hunt
• The murders of Bill and Lorraine Currier exposed just how far his reach might have gone
• Bank robberies, arsons, and missing-person cases line up a little too neatly with his movements
• His prison sketches, cryptic clues, and final suicide left more questions than answers

Was Israel Keyes America’s most prolific highway serial killer, or a manipulative monster inflating his own legend?

Drop your theory in the comments:
• Do you think he killed only the 3 victims we can prove?
