And he pretty quickly gets them into their car and starts driving them to a farmhouse about two miles away, which he had staked out the day before, an abandoned farmhouse.
They kept saying, like, you have the wrong people. We don't have any money. Like, we don't know anyone. There's no reason we should be abducted for a ransom.
He took Bill in first and led him down into the farmhouse's basement where he... zip-tied him to a chair. When he came out, Lorraine had freed herself and was running down the street screaming. Israel sprints after her.
He had laid out a mattress upstairs in the farmhouse and tied her up. When he went back downstairs, Bill had freed himself.
And this was kind of the pattern for that whole night. He would go back up and begin sexually assaulting Lorraine and then hear Bill free himself again, go back downstairs, tie Bill up. And this went on and on until eventually he went down and had been so frustrated by Bill that he shot him.
He shot him, I think, five times with a silencer so he doesn't think Lorraine knew it had happened. And then he went back upstairs and raped Lorraine repeatedly before killing her.
like he's reading the newspaper or probably not even that much emotion. Like he's reading like a West Elm catalog as though it was just like some mundane task in a litany of tasks that he had to do that weekend. He laughs a few times. He talks about how he was really good to Lorraine and he wanted to make sure she was comfortable.
They talked to the demolition team. They said, you know, they didn't take anything out of the house, but when they started the demoing process, they said it smelled like decay.
So then the FBI tracked all the rubble to a landfill and they spent, I believe, eight weeks going through the landfill looking for evidence. They found a few bones and some hair. And in where the farmhouse was, they found glasses that they are fairly certain are bill couriers.
Keys knew enough information about them, about items in their home, items in their garage, Bill's glasses at the site, that it is without a shadow of a doubt Keys who abducted and killed them. But the couriers themselves have never been recovered.
It's tricky to add up the total number of trips because sometimes the trips are compounded, like you'll go from one to another and you're like, is that one or two? So I would say there are approximately 34 trips between 2001 when he left the military and 2012 when he was arrested. For like mileage on each trip, I've never done a full account, but it's a lot.
I think Texas alone, he could have driven across the country three different times.
We believe there are trophies from his abductions and kills in these kits. Samantha's hair was braided and then the braid was cut off and never recovered. There are items from a few cases that we believe are keys related that disappeared with the victim and so we believe they are likely in kill kits.
People who knew him talked about his butchering skills, that he could butcher a goat in minutes.
He could go to Home Depot and buy, a thousand zip ties and duct tape, and it's not going to look strange.
It was serial killer 101 unintentionally.
According to Keyes, he only ever shot Bill Currier. He said occasionally the guns were used for intimidation, but I think they were also just insurance for him in case someone did get out of line, he had a gun.
My opinion on the bank robberies is that he is using the bank robbery to sustain the high of committing the murder.
The through line for those three crimes, the couriers and Samantha, is there is very strong evidence, if not absolute proof, that Keyes had encountered all three of those victims prior to their abductions.
She'd been working at a sports bar, which is important and strangely never makes it into the media surrounding Keyes.
