Israel Keyes: The Devil and His Details

Israel Keyes was an American serial killer, bank robber, burglar, arsonist, kidnapper, and sex offender who murdered at least three victims and committed dozens of felonies including armed robbery, arson, rape, and burglary across the United States from July 2001 to February 2012. But was Israel Keyes' responsible for possibly dozens of more victims? Unfortunately, most of what we know about the crimes Keyes committed comes from Keyes himself and he only offered up vague bits of information over hours and hours of interviews with authorities. It's possible that Israel Keyes is one of the most prolific serial killers in American history but it also seems entirely possible that Keyes built himself up to be more than what he truly was. Either way, Israel Keyes was a horrific monster and ended the life of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig before going on to commit a sick act of extortion that was truly disgusting.
