Israel Keyes – Part Two: The Curriers & Samantha Koenig

In Part Two, the distance becomes the weapon.

After leaving Alaska, Israel Keyes travels thousands of miles to rural Vermont, where a quiet farmhouse becomes the site of the abduction and murder of Bill and Lorraine Currier—a crime with no bodies, no traditional crime scene, and only the details he would later choose to reveal.

From Vermont, the story returns to Alaska, where a deliberate cooling-off period follows. Ordinary life resumes. Work continues. And beneath that surface, something far more calculated is taking shape.

This episode also examines the crimes that ran parallel to the murders: bank robberies, financial planning, and long-distance movement designed to blur timelines and distract from violence.

The episode then turns to Anchorage, where the restraint ends with the abduction and murder of Samantha Koenig—the crime that finally forces his careful system into the open and brings years of silence to an end.

Part Two traces the line between these crimes, the choices that connected them, and the moment when a system built on distance and control finally began to collapse.
