American predator : the hunt for the most meticulous serial killer of the 21st century

Callahan, Maureen (Journalist)2020
Books
Most people have never heard of Israel Keyes, one of the most ambitious and terrifying serial killers in modern history. The FBI considered his behaviour unprecedented. Keyes was a predator who struck all over the United States. He buried 'kill kits' - cash, weapons, and body-disposal tools - in remote locations across the country. Over the course of 14 years, Keyes would fly to a city, rent a car, and drive thousands of miles in order to use his kits. He would break into a stranger's house, abduct his victims in broad daylight, and kill and dispose of them in mere hours. And then he would return home to Alaska, resuming life as a quiet, reliable construction worker devoted to his only daughter. In 2012, journalist Maureen Callahan began a project that consumed her for the next several years - uncovering the true story behind how the FBI ultimately caught Israel Keyes.
