Israel Keyes
Active 2001-2012
Multiple States
Israel Keyes was an American serial killer who is believed to have committed at least 8 murders, though he may have killed many more. Keyes was known for his meticulous and methodical approach to his crimes, often traveling long distances across the United States to avoid detection. He was arrested in 2012 and eventually confessed to several murders, though he never revealed all his victims. Keyes died by suicide in his jail cell in December 2012, before more details could emerge.
Keyes confessed to killing multiple people across the United States but was not forthcoming with the details of every victim. He used "murder kits," which were stored in various locations, to facilitate his killings. These kits contained tools, weapons, and other items to carry out his murders. It’s uncertain how many other people he killed. Authorities believe that the number of victims could be much higher, possibly as many as 11 or more.
Keyes is considered one of the most methodical and secretive serial killers in modern history, and his case has led to ongoing investigations into unsolved disappearances across the United States.
