Israel knows that area of Oregon well. His family visits the river often. He staked out the bathroom ahead of time. On this particular day, he sees a young girl playing in the river, trailing behind her friends. Israel hides in some bushes near a bend. Once the girl's friends turn the corner and disappear from sight, he leaps out and grabs her. The girl's white, dirty blonde.

He thinks anywhere from 14 to 18. He tells the FBI he had everything planned out. He brings ropes and knives. He says he was really into knives at the time.

Israel makes use of the knots he learned growing up, building rafts and bridges in the woods alone. But he doesn't, as he puts it, take it to the next level. He's too disarmed by the girl's behavior.

The girl talks to Israel. She asks him questions like where he's from, tells him he's good looking. She says she may have even gone out with him if he asked. She tells him her name, humanizes herself.

After about 30 minutes to an hour, Israel brings her back to the river. She gets back into her tube and heads back to her friends.

After the assault, Israel gets paranoid about getting caught. He checks the news often to see if there are reports. If there are any, he doesn't see them.

Israel learns two things from his experience that day on the Deschutes River. First, he's not that into Satanism. For starters, bloodletting isn't practical. It leaves behind too much DNA. Strangling is cleaner. That and a belief in Satan by default kind of requires a belief in the devil's counterpart, God. And Israel just can't get down with that.

He's done attempting to give his violent urges any rationale or meaning.

He'd just need to be more careful in the future.

Israel developed a travel habit. He often left for days or weeks at a time. He'd tell his parents he was visiting friends or family and go on long drives or hop on a plane. His last girlfriend traveled a lot for work, so he sometimes made use of her miles. He went to great lengths to hide his tracks.
