Unsafe work setting. No one should be allowed to work alone in this isolated location.

[@06mrselfdestruct]

It isn’t isolated, it’s in the middle of a shopping center, and busy road right next to it

[@LittleKikuyu]

I just checked the location on the map. Yeah the lil shed unfortunately stood in an isolated area. The shops around are just not near enough and possibly closed at that time. Dreadfully unsafe. But you Alaskan folks must be used to some pretty severe desolation if that coffee shop was bang in the centre for you 🙈

[@Longevitylifestylemedicine]

I used that coffee shop every week. I went by the day after she was kidnapped and was surprised to find it closed. Samantha served me many times. It was a popular coffee shop for employees working night shift at providence. The only reason it was isolated when she was kidnapped was there was this large snow berm obscuring it from the main road.

He robbed the bank in my hometown of Tupper Lake, NY. I remember seeing the helicopters flying around looking for him. At the time they didn’t know it was him, he admitted it later to the FBI In Alaska. He lived in the same county as I about 60 miles away. The authorities say there is likely one of his victims buried close by. There is an unsolved missing person in town also, a 19 year old kid, when Israel Keyes lived up here

Well, I was one of those people until in 2005, I was walking to my car about 7pm at night after shopping in a Marshalls. I saw this guy with the most vivid blue eyes and a hoodie sort of easing up on me. I thought surely he is going into the store. He passed me, I spoke to him and when I turned my back, he had hit me over the head and grabbed my purse. From that time on, I KNOW every day I live, something bad can happen, at any time and any place.

Honestly, I wish I could have screamed at Samantha that while he was trying to take her out of the coffee shop that she should have screamed and ran and allowed herself to get shot rather than taken to the second location. That man wanted her alive so he could torture her first. Also, there were lots of cars driving by and people that were walking by around that time and so chances are if she try to escape while at the coffee shop she would have had a much better chance of survival, or at the very least would have died more peacefully. Every time I see that footage I just want to shake her and say don't comply don't comply

[@Veronica705]

No employer should ever let a female employee work alone, especially in a situation like this where nobody would have felt suspicious of someone stopping their car and going up to the kiosk. Same goes for convenience stores, gas stations etc, there should always be more than one employee on duty, especially at night, for safety's sake. I am so sorry for all his victims, and the victims' families.💔

[@Justice-ef9sk]

I know this is easy to say if you’re not in the situation… But I was always taught never, ever go to another location with someone without putting up a fight. The reason he is taking you to another location is because he doesn’t feel comfortable where you’re both at--at the moment. But then again, I don’t know what I would do in that situation either. SMH. That poor girl.

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

My friend had sold a Mustang 20 years ago for 5K. He has a big bragging mouth, so a couple hours later some guys come into his yard and stuck him up with guns and say where's it at? He said where is what? And they said you know what I mean, let's go in the house. Lucky his friend saved him. But to the point is he said I wasn't going in the house. I rather get shot on my driveway where people can see and hear it, if I would have went in I would 100% would have died.

[@chococat9685]

If you heard in the show, Samantha actually ran from him, and he caught her. So she did try to run, but it didn't work out for her in that instance.

I see so many comments, angry about how the cops are joking and taking with this beast. I get it, but detectives have to get these monsters to talk. They have to use whatever tactic works - anger, dismissiveness, friendliness, understanding. They don’t actually feel that way. They need to manipulate the criminal to make give up more details.

I worked about 1/2 mile from their home and was chased home (I worked evening shift..) I was doing 85 in a 35 mph zone and the car stayed on my heals.. it was the car bill and Lorraine drove that he kidnapped them with.. I was too afraid to pull in my driveway about 8-10 miles from my work because of this car.. I didn’t have a cell phone at the time and couldn’t call for help.. I drove in circles basically and eventually lost the car.. and went home.. I then alerted my boyfriend at the time. We had two big pit bulls.. but lived in a one story house with an attached garage.. we did have our dogs freak out later that night for some unknown reason and to this day my ex and I still believe he tried to abduct me.. I’m so thankful God must have been with me that day. God bless the victims.. it turns my stomach.

[@TaraOHorvath]

So back in 2007 I was 18 and working 3rd shift as a front desk hotel clerk in Milan/Avery Ohio. About 10 mins from Sandusky. It was my second job I’ve ever had and my first night alone working after being trained for just 2 days. Around 3 AM this guy wearing dirty white shoes, blue jeans, a light jacket with hood and ski mask over entire face (all I could see was his eyes)…. He had what looked like a crowbar and a gun and demanded cash… then I was so stupid I started reading bible verses from this book that was in the lost and found and crying and talking about my baby at home… I kept going on about my child….he called me sweet baby and told me “oh baby I don’t want to have to hurt you”. My sweet baby. He started getting tears in his eyes and started to get mean and snappy, voice change to a deeper tone. I gave him the cash box (400$) and he left in a white minivan, he walked kind of funny. Not limping just very like awkward lanky fast steps. I don’t know for sure but looking at Israel Keyes eyes and listening to his voice… I think it was him… I’ll never forget those eyes… It’s never been solved- conveniently on my first night alone the cameras weren’t working. I didn’t even know how to call out on the phone so once I finally did it was 30 mins later… they actually made me take a lie detector test and computerized test to make sure I wasn’t lying… and here I was absolutely traumatized. My boss yelled at me for giving him the money… cops told me I did the right thing. I’m confident it was Israel keyes I have ptsd and I haven’t been able to work at a front desk, as a cashier.. in fear it’ll happen again.

After listening to "True Crime Bullsh**" podcast, there is nooooo way he only killed 11 people. There are absolutely many more out there. Highly recommend that podcast if you want a VERY deep dive on Israel Keyes. It is a multi season podcast on Keyes and his victims, and so much more detailed than this.

[@alexhidel3732]

This guy robbed the bank up the road from me in Tupper Lake, NY. Authorities say there are probably victims he buried up here in the Adirondack Mountains. We do have an unsolved missing person in Tupper Lake, when Israel Keyes was in the area.

[@waynecolburn8849]

They always talk about how bright some of these killers are. They should talk about how shameful they were

[@aliciakraynik7674]

Or how horrible they are.

[@catdooley4616]

The point is that these killers are not noticeable in any real way to be able to protect ourselves, they are smart and can act very normal.

Yessss! Literally I feel like no one ever talks about him. He still gives me nightmares that people like this exist!

[@JK-gm6kk]

Within the last few years, he used to get brought up alot on yt. Like how a bunch of different creators somehow release videos around the same time of the same topic. He was that topic for a period of time. During that time, no one ever mentioned regarding the infamous photo of Samantha, that it isn't the actual photo. I don't know if the real one is out there, but im not interested in finding it, either.

You’ve never seen pics of dead people? What about Victorian death photography? A little insane it’s the creepiest thing you’ve EVER seen….that’s the only dead person you’ve seen with their eyes open? Weird. In many of the Victorian photos it’s pretty hard to tell they’re dead……

[@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871]

Wikipedia: "Sometime during this period, Keyes renounced his former Christian faith.[18] On one occasion, Keyes declared his atheism to his parents-both of whom he had previously made tireless and constant efforts to please[17]-after an intense argument. This led his parents to evict their eldest son from their residence, shunning him for apparent blasphemy; they then instructed his younger siblings, who looked up to Keyes, to never have contact with him again.[18] Keyes then developed an inordinate interest in Satanism, with plans of committing a ritualistic murder.[9]

[@angelaknebel4156]

RIP the victims of this vile individual!!!And those interrogators are so very, very good at what they do!!! And its chilling, Keyes having that double life including a wife and child -ugh!!! 😭

[@leahmartinez330]

This case is so incredibly insane all the meticulous planning for every victim is so distressing to know anyone can be a victim just because the garage looks easily accessible or a window open. The world we live in is so scary I don’t want to leave my house for any thing I never know who is following me watching my home my children I fear everything.

[@parissinclair6513]

They kind of glossed over the whole, "There was a photo of Samantha with a ransom note left in the park after she went missing" part. He had killed her, and only quite some time later did he decide that he wanted to try and get some money from the situation. So he put makeup on her and staged the lighting, etc. to take a photo that could somewhat plausibly make it seem like she was still alive... 🤢He was one of the most meticulous and coldhearted serial killers ever, I really don't know why he's not just as famous as killers like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer.

[@ginaphillips2180]

You're much more likely to be harmed by someone you know...

Because she was a legal adult. And because of equality. Or don't you believe women are equal??

[@JackBQuick79]

What has to happen in ones life to create such evil in a man? I can not even begin to imagine having the thoughts required to carry anything like this out. Let alone to create plans and put them plans into play. I absolutely understand that evil is a real thing, I just can't understand how or why.

[@angelinendunge9]

Evil people everywhere sad indeed 😢

[@jackiescorpio6359]

most likely he was born a psychopath. It's rare, but there's people born without fear, empathy, compassion, love... Most live their life without hurting people. Surgeons, doctors, people who work jobs the rest of us couldn't handle. To compensate some seek adrenaline rush by going hang gliding, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, speed racing. But once in a while there's a psychopath who gets off by killing.

[@kimmiegirl810]

I think they're born that way. They become very good at disguising their true selves.

[@PaperMario64]

Some people are abused or neglected and they let it corrupt them. Others are born to decent parents and they are just bad seeds. Its not nature VS nurture, its nature OR nurture.

[@Elena-fe3os]

Mentaly ill..untreated. Not an excuse for their crimes, but, I think that many serial killers had something in their background, childhood and the adult life did not brought them around people who might have seen signs..or they were good in disguising. He had many siblings, probably they never had issues..living isolated though, might made people socially awkward..I do not know.

[@english_muffinss]

I wonder how many innocent people are in prison for murders this guy commited. Most likely boyfriend's, ex-husbands, probably even brothers and fathers of this guys victims sitting in prison innocent. That makes me sick to my stomach

[@LittleKikuyu]

And possibly mothers, girlfriends etc? Because he killed relatively indiscriminately. But yeah, totally agree. The investigators have to do some serious digging!

[@retromoviefan944]

there's a true crime channel on youtube that has many of the actual police interrogations/interviews with Keyes. Scary dude! Also, the couple in VT, you notice Keyes simply broke out the glass in their garage side door and easily undid the deadbolt by just reaching his hand in. If you have glass in a door like this, either replace it with a solid door, or get some type of security screen over the glass so a freak like this can't break the glass and walk on into your home.

[@foxywhitetip7387]

Great advice

[@nightmare348]

This guy is DISGUSTING. And of course, he takes his own life the second the police are onto him. At least he's not out there hurting more innocents. May his victims all rest in peace.

The authorities who allowed him to off himself are a DISGRACE! He should have been under CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE!

[@foxibot]

He looks so non threatening and that’s what is so dangerous.

[@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871]

What is mind boggling is he has a clean-cut all-American persona. He is well mannered, well-dressed, and yet, those are just in sheeps clothing.

[@BigtimeJuicer]

Dont know much about Israel Keyes ..But he's apparently one of the smartest & most cunning serial killers of our time. People who's job it is to talk about true crime, say "they hope to never see anyone like him again." He doesn't look very scary or intimidating. But I guess when you're preying on the weak and vulnerable, all that changes.

[@LarsonPetty]

It's not intimidation factor, it's because he was nearly impossible to predict or profile. He was so random and playing the long game, that the FBI was useless. If he hadn't gotten greedy and sloppy, he'd still be doing his thing, with local, state, and federal authorities none the wiser.

[@LittleKikuyu]

Also he played the victim card apparently by telling Samantha he was just a dude who needed money and wanted to hold her for ransom. He tricked her by whinging and pulling heart strings at some point. And when she saw what he was really about it was too late (not that she ever stood much of a chance, poor girl 🥺). He apparently got off on this kind of sharade. Sick waste of space.

[@LittleKikuyu]

Also he messed up big time with his truck caught on camera. Not a smart move.

[@PaperMario64]

I see so many comments, angry about how the cops are joking and taking with this beast. I get it, but detectives have to get these monsters to talk. They have to use whatever tactic works - anger, dismissiveness, friendliness, understanding. They don’t. actually feel that way. They need to manipulate the criminal to make give up more details.

[@_SoCalDude_]

Exactly, it's called building rapport and is an effective method of extracting information from a suspect. They 're great at disguising their contempt and disgust and they have to be to get a suspect to drop their guard.

[@davidb2206]

Should have given him the d.p. date he wanted, to get the full confession, even if it was faked, complete with a fake newspaper and court order or "plea deal." The law does not require detectives to tell the truth in their tool box for interrogations.

[@Findpepperbridge]

I thought they were going to do a way bigger deep dive into this case. They actually left out a lot. I don’t understand how they had 7 months and 13 interviews and they never got more information out of him. Do you ever want to jump into the screen and tell that person to stop or save them? Never go with someone who is trying to abduct you. Fight like hell! Do everything possible to draw attention. It’s better to be shot on scene than in a shed. So sad for the victims. Definitely one of my biggest fears is disappearing. Never being found. You’re already alone when you die but that is the ultimate alone.

[@SimplySatisfiedSarah]

And how and why did he have a disposable razor. Shouldn’t they get one and then have it taken away. And personally someone assumed to be a serial killer, shouldn’t they be on suicide watch just as a precaution, especially since he asked for an execution date

Yes i had watched this story on a different channel, where they did give all those details. Also things he said and done to poor Samantha in that garage. How he raised her hopes of being freed, etc.

[@almiralagic4689]

2,500 active serial killers in the united states at any given time, but out of that 2,500 their are 400 who are long haul truck drivers or guys like israel keyes who drove thousand's of miles, those are the ones who are the most dangerous and hardest to catch.

[@rlawrence9838]

That made it sound (I've only watched the beginning so far) like the boyfriend was meant to pick her up but just didn't show and someone abducted her but the boyfriend did come to pick her up but she'd already been abducted earlier in her shift, he came and she had vanished and all the lights were off.

[@the_Jadels]

By the sounds of things, he had been plotting his map of murders since the day he was born...
