The FBI revealed those drawings and other never before seen evidence to "48 Hours," including examples of Keyes' "kill caches" – kits containing guns, zip ties and other items he would bury across the United States years in advance, in anticipation of committing a crime. But investigators believe there may be seven more victims based on comments made by Keyes in interviews and drawings of skulls Keyes made using his own blood.
Keyes confessed to Koenig's murder and over the course of several months, pointed investigators to three other victims. A security camera captured her abduction, and unusual activity on her ATM card led police to Keyes, then 4,000 miles away in Texas. Samantha Koenig, a barista in Anchorage, was one of those victims. Asked why he picked his victims, Keyes responded: "I didn't.
"Once I started, you know … there was nothing else like it," Keyes told investigators. The search for his potential victims is far from over.
The investigation exposed one of the most diabolical and meticulous serial killers in American history. Law enforcement in Alaska came face-to-face with Israel Keyes for the first time in 2012, after he was arrested in connection with the disappearance of a young woman kidnapped from a coffee stand.
