Israel Keyes 1: He Broke His Own Killing Rules

 

We’ve spent Season 1 outlining murders with the goal of helping others recognize the red flags, trust their gut, and not be a victim. We’re finishing off this season with one of the scariest outlines so far because this is one of those rare cases where there was absolutely nothing the victim’s could have done to prevent their own deaths. Israel Keyes is one of the scariest serial killers in history. You’ll see what we mean in these last two outlines of season one.
