This was posted on my local news website.

FBI investigators have pieced together Keyes’ travels since. And between Feb. 12 and Feb. 16, Special Agent Diego Rodriguez says he was in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

He told police that he was in Azle, Aledo and Cleburne. And, at some point, his car got stuck in a “muddy, rural area.” Rodriguez wants to speak to anyone who may have helped Keyes with his car.

During that same time period, Keyes may have also visited the Post Oak Cemetery in Glen Rose. If you saw a blue 2011 Kia Soul with a TX license plate of CN8-M857, you’re asked to call 1.800.CALL.FBI.

Johnson County Sheriff's deputies are also helping the FBI. They will be posting flyers Thursday at gas stations and restaurants in Godley and Cresson. Johnson County is also hoping new leads might help them solve a murder that happened in their jurisdiction last February.

"You start wondering if they are tied to it, in any way or not," said Lt. Tim Jones from the Johnson County Sheriff's Department. "If they are to give closure to the family or not, eliminate them so we keep looking for the right person".

What murder in Johnson County?

 

[mijamawi]

There was a couple killed in Johnson County last year. I'll have to go find it and see if that may be what they're talking about or if that one was solved.

More recently, Keyes is suspected of visiting Post Oak Cemetery in Glen Rose sometime between February 12 and 16. Prior to his suicide, Keyes admitted to traveling through Cleburne, Azle and Aledo. Investigators suspect his rental car became stuck in the mud in Cleburne during the same time frame.

These images from a National Bank of Texas branch in Azle, Texas show a man resembling Keyes robbing the bank in less than two minutes on Feb. 16. Keyes was never charged in relation to the robbery.

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of. Hmmm, I wonder what they're talking about. I don't recall any others in JoCo. The fact he was so close to my area gives me the heebies.

I want to say that Samantha may very well have saved many, many lives. If IK had not been stupid in her abduction, he may very well still be free and killing at will. Here is a scary article about this guy:

“They are going to tell you something that does not line up with anything I tell you because I’m two different people, basically,” he continued. “And the only person who knows about what I’m telling you, the kind of things I’m telling you, is me.”

Excerpt:

"It's February 1, 2012, about 8pm, closing time. Koenig is shown handing Keyes a cup of coffee, then backing away with her hands up, as if it's a robbery.
The lights go out and Keyes next appears as a fuzzy image climbing through the drive-thru window.
Authorities outlined his next steps:
Keyes forced Koenig to his Silverado; he'd already bound her hands with zip ties and gagged her.
He hid her in a shed outside his house, turned on loud music so no one could hear if she screamed, then returned to the coffee shack to retrieve scraps of the restraints and get her phone.
On February 2, Keyes raped and strangled Koenig. He left her in that shed, flew to Houston and embarked on a cruise, returning about two weeks later.
He then took a photo of Koenig's body holding a February13 newspaper to make it appear she was alive.
Keyes wrote a ransom note on the back, demanding $30,000 be placed in her account. He texted a message, directing the family to a dog park where the note could be found. Her family deposited some money from a reward fund."

Sister of Murdered Hiker Pleads for Tips

This forum mentions 4 unsolved homicides on the AT between Maine & VA. From my experience & imo, suspicious deaths on national forests/AT, etc., are kept low profile by officials & the MS Media..

Analysis Confirms 2008 Missing Hiker’s Remains

WEST GLACIER, MONT. - Bone fragments found in Glacier National Park last summer have been analyzed by the National Missing Person's Program at the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification and identified as those of Yi-Jien Hwa, a hiker missing in the park since the summer of 2008.
The analysis positively matched the bone fragments to Hwa, and several pieces of evidence were found that closely match the items identified in Hwa's equipment list. The park has contacted Hwa's family and closed the investigation.

The search effort began August 21, 2008 after receiving word from Hwa's family that he was three days overdue from a lengthy and arduous planned hike in the park's backcountry.

From everything I have read, it seems like Keyes MO was to shoot his male victims and strangle and sexually assault his female victims.

The FBI released a long-awaited note (PDF) Wednesday which was found in admitted serial killer Israel Keyes’ Anchorage Jail cell after his Dec. 2 suicide, although it apparently didn’t contain any immediate clues to further crimes he may have committed....

What a long rambling egotistical crock of s**t that note is.

 

[SeeingForThe1stTime]

What a long rambling egotistical crock of s**t that note is.

Well now. Isn't that special. Didn't he just know that he had the world all figured out, thought he was special and had some kind of enlightenment, that he knew so much more about 'how it really is' and weren't his the only wise eyes able to see the shortcomings of man and the denial and loss of self within society. So brooding to be alone in your genius and so romantic to be so self aware of the depths of his own darkness. Wasn't he just so smart while the rest of the world is just so stupid and shallow. Unlike him we are too stupid to even ask the questions much less figure out the answers like he has. Ugh. As if being a complete freak, psychopath, spiritually bankrupt piece of s---, he had to add intellectual conceit to the list, like a little rotten cherry right on top. Such a p**** to blame society for his flawed and weak character.

"If you would not be thought a fool in others conceit, be not wise in your own."- Wellin Calcott, from Thoughts Moral and Divine

This makes me literally sick, I'm glad he's dead; Gaia rid herself of a festering boil.

This is interesting. Wonder why? (from the letter link above). Also, I'm still able to access the PDF file. Weird.

Editor's note: A previous PDF link to Keyes' writings has been removed from this story. Channel 2 News Director Tracy Sabo issued this statement today:

"Since the arrest of Israel Keyes, Channel 2 News has published many police reports, court documents, and recorded interviews related to the case. Our journalistic protocol has been clear in determining which documents are published on any Channel 2 News platform. In regards to the Keyes case, if authorities have found value in the public release of any of the suspect's statements, specifically in the effort identify potential victims or solve any crimes, those statements have been and will be published by Channel 2 News. The letter written by Israel Keyes and released today by the FBI does not that meet that same journalistic standard. The decision against publication is based on the FBI's own stated description and Channel 2 News' review of these writings. For this reason, Channel 2 News will not publish the most recently released writings of Israel Keyes. Channel 2 News' journalistic obligation to media transparency is not defined as a public platform from which criminal suspects or suicide victims be allowed to share the breadth of their thoughts with the public."
