The coffee stand, it's essentially a big shed in a parking lot across the street from a Home Depot and several fast food restaurants. It's tiny but on a pretty major intersection. In fact, I went out to Alaska last year and was surprised by how public this coffee stand was. You could see it from everywhere. There were tons of cars passing by, even at 8 o'clock at night.
He's parked across this very busy street. Now, it is winter, so it's dark out already and there's snow banks everywhere, but there are still cars driving by.
They don't see anything unusual. Neither do the people out walking. He... holds a gun up to her and puts his arm around her so it looks like they're a couple. He tells her to act like she's drunk and he's helping her to her car.
And he gets her in the car, zip ties her to the seat, and because it's still early enough that his girlfriend and his child are still awake, he drives around with her in his car for hours, waiting for them to go to bed. Stop the clock.
He had a shed in his driveway. So he pulled up and put her into the shed and then zip-tied her to various pieces of pipes and furniture in the shed.
Her father... had kind of a rough history with law enforcement because of his own stuff. And I think they also were just hopeful that these texts were from Samantha and they would hear from her. So I think they were just waiting it out.
One of her coworkers goes to open up the coffee stand They noticed that it hadn't been shut down properly and they alert the owner who had surveillance and pulled up the surveillance and saw Samantha abducted from the coffee stand and he alerted the police immediately. And as is often the case, started looking into her boyfriend and her father right away.
Pretty early on, they were focused on her father. He was associated with some sketchy people, and so they were looking at a few different angles there. One was that perhaps this was a scheme for money, the other that perhaps he had upset the wrong person. So they are pretty squarely looking at James Koenig for weeks until Israel gets really sloppy and connects himself to the case.
Keys returned to Texas about a month after Samantha was abducted. And as he's wont to do, he didn't fly directly to Dallas or Houston. He flew into Las Vegas and then drove. And he was using her debit card to pull out money from random ATMs across the United States Southwest.
So they started pinging and the cops were obviously watching for activity and they would send someone out to the bank and they'd have just missed him. They'd pull surveillance. He was wearing ski masks or nylon. And then finally, I think it was one of the last ATMs he used in New Mexico, they actually got his rental car's plate on surveillance. And so they were able to track that pretty quickly.
But I've seen the video and like he basically throws like a little hissy fit, lets him cuff him, gets into the car and just looks like a disgruntled toddler.
He had, over a period of days, dismembered her and submerged her while he was ice fishing. And he genuinely was ice fishing while he was doing this. He talked about catching fish and bringing them home and cooking them up for his ex-girlfriend kid.
Officials run the photos through a national database for missing and unidentified people called NamUs, and... There were 45 matches, and it's worth noting that there were thousands of images, and NamUs is not holistic, so many of those images could have been missing persons who just aren't on NamUs.
I mean, disturbed is kind of the easy adjective.
He broke into their garage, had been hiding in it for hours.
He's set a house on fire and then robbed a bank.
When asked where he got the hair from, he said, human hair is very easy to find.
