Kate sits down with Kelsey May Vandy, who grew up alongside the family of serial killer Israel Keyes. Kelsey first captured Kate’s attention with a social post describing the moment she realized that a boy she once knew—a family friend—was, in fact, the notorious killer. 

While the episode touches on Keyes’ background and disturbing criminal history, the conversation quickly shifts to Kelsey’s own remarkable story. Raised completely off the grid, Kelsey didn’t learn to read until high school, yet went on to attend college, build a career, marry, and begin a family—all while catching up to a world she had barely been exposed to as a child.
