A. What happened 14 years ago? That's not a rounded up number. It is very specific. ETA: 1998 would have been 14 years ago. When did he enlist?
B. I personally believe his women targets were for sexual assault specifically.
C. I also personally believe that his male targets were for financial gain. If he were a part of a couple, it was because he was a witness, not a true intended victim, so to speak.
D. I personally believe that any couples he targeted were of pure opportunity (as he mentioned about the layout of the Currier's home, etc.).
E. The one victim he referenced as being classified wrong by the police is a male; otherwise, there would be evidence of a sexual assault. This person was a 'soft kill' and probably put in water to make it look like a drowning.
F. People are creatures of habit. He had a routine, a way he did things. He himself talked about the specific places he would stalk. It's obvious he felt comfortable in rural areas and surroundings. He had mad opportunity to stalk working as a contractor and yet, he didn't involve that persona in his crimes. From what we learned about the geographic profiling, it would be interesting to know where his caches were found. He felt the most 'safe' there, IMO.
Agreed, SurfieTX, Israel Keys was an experienced/escalated sexual predator; no stranger to the game...
* Keyes said he served in the Army from 1998 to 2000
This is very important, imo..
RE: The FBI also released a 30-second audio recording from one of the interviews with Keyes.
"There is no one who knows me or who has ever known me who knows anything about me, really," Keyes said on the recording. "They are going to tell you something that does not line up with anything I tell you because I'm two different people, basically. And the only person who knows about what I'm telling you, the kind of things I'm telling you, is me."
How long had he been two people? an investigator asked.

Deja vu? The Israel Keyes interview is analogous to Richard Ramirez; night stalker interviews, and many other serial killers prior. Seems, they all have another self..Chameleons...
Ramirez said to the jurors after handing down the death sentence, "I don't expect you to understand me, I am beyond good & evil, lucifer dwells within us all, Lucifer will avenge me"..then laughs..
Serial killers seem to talk in riddles/taunts.
Imo, Keyes should have been on suicide watch. His suicide is devastating to the investigation of his many unknown victims. When Alaska authorities were questioned as to how this could have happened, their response was the usual, 'I am sorry, we can't release that info due to the integrity of the investigation'...pathetic, imo...
Ironically Israel Keyes, was caught, as was Ted Bundy, due to an observant TX cop on a routine traffic stop...
I am concerned about the text to Samantha Koenig's father three weeks after her abduction/murder demanding the ransom, which was paid from reward money collected in her case. If I remember correctly, there were rumors that Holly Bobo's mom received a communication a few weeks after her abduction that also gave them hope...
Normally, when remains are dumped in water, it is for forensics and other purposes. In many serial killer investigations, CODIS is very significant in identifying unknown victims. Due to his organized pattern, Keyes' victims may be difficult to narrow down due to the body disposal tools/caches & methods of disposal.. Hopefully, his MO, signature, travel pattern, etc., will be obvious to FBI VICAP investigators.
Another observation is that Keyes monitored MS Media attention of his evil deeds..
