In understanding Hunters Washington, we have to take a few steps back and take a look at what we know about Keyes' crimes prior to his move to Alaska and how what he's told us about

0:32.6

those crimes may tie into eastern Washington.

0:35.6

So for the next few episodes, we'll be spending less time in

0:39.1

hunters and more time diving into the at least five Washington area victims Keyes told the FBI

0:45.5

about. The male-female couple, two separate victims who were buried using his boat,

0:51.6

and one victim whose body was found, but whose death was ruled accidental.

0:57.5

Through my meetings with Hala, old and new FOIA files, and other interviews, we've learned a

1:03.3

great deal more about these victims, but I want to be clear.

1:08.6

that spans the entirety of the northern Idaho panhandle along the U.S.-Canadian border.

2:02.6

The forest is approximately 2.2 million acres, and it includes the Kootenai and Clark Fork rivers,

2:10.6

three major hydroelectric dams, Lake Kukunusa and Priest Lake, among more than 100 others, more than 90 miles of hiking trails,

2:21.3

and peaks with elevation greater than 8,000 feet.

2:26.3

The general area has always been on our radar.

2:30.3

It's a fairly small swath of land that spans multiple state lines, Washington, Idaho, Montana,

and the U.S.-Canadian border.
