Episode 140: The Murder of Samantha Koenig : Israel Keyes Part 1

On February 1, 2012, Samantha Koenig was taken from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Her disappearance made no sense to investigators. There weren't signs of a struggle, she'd sent an angry text to her boyfriend, and security footage showed two people walking through a parking lot arm in arm. But when a ransom note appeared weeks after her capture, accompanied by a disturbing photo of Samantha, investigators were sure she was in danger. ATM withdrawals would take detectives thousands of miles away to Lufkin, Texas, where they'd arrest a killer who was more monster than man. Police weren't prepared for the psychopath they'd placed in custody, but they would soon uncover chilling horrors and resolutions to questions long unanswered. In part one of this terrifying story, we'll discover harrowing details about this lesser known serial killer and learn just how apathetic he was about his crimes. Tune in next week as we dig into his past and uncover the horrors of Israel Keyes. Happy Haunting!
