Summary
After his arrest, Israel Keyes started talking. He confessed to Samantha Koenig’s murder, then casually gave investigators the names of two more victims.He described how he traveled thousands of miles to kill strangers, how he planned every move, and how he buried evidence years before using it.
But he never gave the full story. And before the FBI could get everything out of him, he made sure the rest of it died with him.
This episode goes inside the interrogations, the confessions, and the unanswered questions Keyes left behind.
