Israel Keyes, a 34-year-old Anchorage construction contractor, was arrested in Lufkin, Texas, on March 13, 2012, after investigators tracked his use of a debit card belonging to Samantha Koenig, an 18-year-old barista he had abducted and killed in Alaska. During months of interviews, he also confessed to killing Bill and Lorraine Currier in Vermont. He died in jail before trial.

Keyes had served in the Army from 1998 to 2001 and later worked for the Makah Tribe's parks and recreation department in Neah Bay, Washington. He moved to Anchorage in March 2007 and started Keyes Construction. Across the country, he hid caches of weapons and cash from bank robberies, allowing him to travel without carrying weapons on planes or making credit card purchases near crime scenes.

In early June 2011, Keyes flew from Alaska to Chicago, rented a car and drove about 1,000 miles to Vermont. He stayed in Essex and selected the Curriers at random. On June 8, he broke into their home through an interior garage door and abducted them, taking them to an abandoned farmhouse.

In his confession, Keyes described Bill Currier trying to break free and rescue his wife. Keyes struck him with a shovel and shot him. He raped Lorraine Currier and strangled or suffocated her. The FBI later recovered two guns he had discarded in Blake Falls Reservoir in New York. The Curriers' remains have never been found.

On Feb. 1, 2012, Keyes abducted Koenig at closing time from Common Grounds, a drive-up coffee stand on East Tudor Road in Anchorage. A surveillance camera recorded the abduction. He took her to his pickup truck across the street and killed her early the next morning.

Keyes left her body in a shed on his property, flew to Houston and took a two-week cruise out of New Orleans. After returning to Anchorage on Feb. 17, he posed her body for a photograph with a newspaper dated Feb. 13. He demanded that $30,000 be deposited into her bank account. He then dismembered her body and put her remains through a hole in the ice at Matanuska Lake. On Feb. 24, he sent a ransom demand from her phone.

Investigators tracked withdrawals made with Koenig's debit card in Arizona and Texas between March 7 and 12. Keyes was arrested the next day in a restaurant parking lot in Lufkin. Koenig's card and phone were recovered, along with disguise props he had worn at ATMs.

After his return to Alaska, Keyes confessed to kidnapping, raping and murdering Koenig. FBI divers, Anchorage police and Alaska State Troopers recovered her remains from Matanuska Lake on April 2, 2012.

Initially charged with access device fraud, Keyes was indicted on April 18 on charges of kidnapping resulting in death, receiving ransom money and access device fraud. The kidnapping charge carried a possible death sentence. Trial was scheduled for March 11, 2013.

Keyes died by suicide in a segregation cell at the Anchorage Correctional Complex late on Dec. 1, 2012, and was found the following morning. He was not on suicide watch that night. The federal case was terminated on Nov. 1, 2013.

Investigators conducted more than 40 hours of interviews with Keyes. The FBI believes he killed 11 people. He named no victims beyond Koenig and the Curriers.
