On February 1, 2012, barista Samantha Koenig was abducted from her job in a small coffee kiosk in Anchorage, Alaska. Samantha’s disappearance kicked off a frantic manhunt for her kidnapper who used her debit card to withdraw money across the southwest. When a keen-eyed Texas State Trooper pulled over a suspicious white Ford Focus, it was then that law enforcement got their first look at Israel Keyes. With items belonging to Samantha in his car, Alaskan police and the FBI would soon learn the grisly full extent of Israel Keyes’ crimes, leading some to refer to him as “the most meticulous serial killer of the 21st century.”
