In part one of a two-part deep dive, we discuss Israel Keyes—a methodical, calculating killer who traveled the US leaving little evidence of his crimes and believing he could remain invisible. For years, Keyes planned everything in advance, choosing victims at random and covering his tracks with chilling precision.

That illusion shattered in 2012 with the abduction and murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, Alaska. Kidnapped while working alone at a coffee stand (which was all eerily captured on surveillance footage), Samantha became the case that exposed Keyes’ carefully hidden world.
