Samantha Koenig was just 18 years old when serial killer Israel Keyes kidnapped and murdered her in Anchorage, Alaska — before sewing her eyelids open for a chilling “proof of life” photo. However, before he could be tried, Israel Keyes was found dead in his Anchorage jail cell by the authorities on December 2, 2012. According to reports, the former carpenter and Army veteran took his life by slitting his wrists with a modified razor and strangling himself with the bedding. On the morning of Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012, 18-year-old Samantha Koenig was reported missing from her workplace — a small roadside coffee kiosk she had worked the night before, alone, in. Samantha complied and then Keyes forced himself inside the coffee stand and tied Samantha ’s hands with zip ties. He asked where her car was, and she told him that she did not have a vehicle. But a key part of Keyes ’ plot was missing : Koenig ’s cell phone. He wanted to use it to send Koenig ’s family text messages demanding money, but it was still at the coffee stand, according to. Keyes confessed he murdered Samantha Koenig to members of the Anchorage Police Department, U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI agents. The interviews from that confession have never been made public. The FBI’s investigation took a significant turn when Israel Keyes confessed to the murders of Samantha Koenig and the Currier couple. Keyes revealed chilling details about his modus operandi, including how he had prepared a shed in advance for holding Koenig captive.
