Israel Keyes - Serial Killer Documentary I - Enigma

1 of 10. The most enigmatic modern killer the FBI has yet to encounter is: Israel Keyes. Funding secret killings with money from his bank robberies; Israel Keyes maintained fake passports, snuck over the Canadian and Mexican borders for killings there, and stashed kill-kits with silencers, weapons, plastic-wrap, and restraints across the continental United States that he would wait a decade to return to - flying throughout the country and internationally to kill for thrill in meticulously planned locations thousands of miles from one-another. Israel was married, was entrepreneurial and owned a business, maintained friendships and an upstanding reputation in the communities where he lived. And was remembered most of all as a good friend, successful businessman, a good husband, and dotting father by those who knew him. Professor of World History Joe Wojie is joined by American Historians Britnee Smith and Ted Sisco; Psychologist and Criminal Profiler Dr. Kim, Ethics Professor Tim Collins, and Historian Morgan Haller in this first of ten parts comprehensive mini-series that pulls together 5,000 pages of FBI files; multiple-state’s sheriff, SWAT, and marshal reports, as well as forensic evidence, eye-witness, and tip-line transcripts to paint a picture of the most secretive and dangerous contemporary killer of our time. Israel Keyes’ own words from FBI interrogations are used. Psychoanalysis, victimology, and methodology are pieced together. This is amongst the most comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the killer to be ever compiled.
