AK - Samantha Koenig, 18, Anchorage, 1 Feb 2012 - #4

[SurfieTX]

The Anchorage detectives will remain in Texas for several more days serving search warrants, he said. When asked if the arrest meant police are closer now to finding Koenig, Markiewicz replied, "Of course."

interesting he has been living there two years.... wasn't it two years ago when he let his business license lapse? (re: 2010) the post on that is upstream

Did one report say something about a tip leading to the POI? If so, wonder if the reward will come into play...

If it turns out he was hired by CB, everything would make more sense.

The Anchorage Police Department received criticism for not releasing the surveillance tape, but police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker said they won't do it because, "There's no way this video is going to further the investigation."

Parker said the tape has "evidentiary qualities" that make it valuable to investigators but that it would not be useful to release it because the alleged kidnapper's face is not visible. He said the key to the video for investigators is Koenig's response to the perpetrator.

Samantha Koenig had been working at the Common Grounds Espresso stand for about a month and her father said she was really enjoying it.

Snipped:

"He's the only person we charged, and the only person of interest. And the biggest thing at this time is that we haven't found Samantha Koenig and we don't know her whereabouts," Markiewicz said.

 

[Jersey*Girl]

So, he's had this PO Box since 2007?

I believe that is Yahoo's general default po box.

 

[nursebeeme]

The detective said Keyes is the only person charged in the case so far. He said police have no evidence that Keyes and Koenig knew each other before the abduction.

Markiewicz said police know when Keyes went to Texas but he would not give any details.

THIS IS ALL JUST MY OPINION :

I can't shake the feeling that IK isn't the one that took Sam from the hut.
I've thought from the beginning that whomever took Sam was 'hired' to take her and pass her off to someone else and that the kidnapping was personal. There is a lot more then one person involved in Sam's disappearing IMO.

Police wording has been careful "This is a step toward that goal, a big step." and "Main person of interest". and they stated the tape had nothing to do with identifying him. (because it's not him on the tape ????)

They are ONLY saying there was enough evidence in IK's vehicle to "link" him to SK. Which could easily mean credit card ONLY. Which could come into ones possession in a variety of ways.

"His neighbors on Spurr Lane said Keyes had moved there about two years ago, and lived in the quiet, blue-painted house with his girlfriend and a young child. They said he had been on vacation "out of state" for some time."

This makes me really wonder. Neighbors say that IK has been out of state on vacation for "some time". Why was he vacationing for "some time" ? I'm guessing since his contractor license was expired he wasn't working .... at least not legitimately. So what was he doing in Anchorage?

No priors that anyone can find, a seemingly legit Army and work history...... and he just suddenly decides to kidnap with force a young barista, do gosh knows what with her (possibly kill her? ) , then run back off to TX and use her credit cards? Some criminals are stupid, but this guy was in the Army. He'd know better then to use her credit cards after committing a crime related to her.

There's A LOT more to this. And I think we'll see that IK isn't the "main" person of interest at all. I'm guessing he has no flippin' clue where Sam is, and very possibly hasn't even seen her.

Of note, in this video, the arrest affidavit is briefly shown. The dollar amount was 1000.00 and above. He would need a lot of money if he drove given the fact that it is roughly 4200 miles to Lufkin (per googlemaps) and the cost of gas. I do wonder, however, if Samantha had that kind of money in the bank or on a credit card.

I believe that is Yahoo's general default po box.

I see, thanks. It is interesting to note the date though, 2007. Where was he living in 2007?

2007 he lived in AK, I think it's when he moved there & opened up shop.

There was some wondering upthread if he was dishonorably discharged. KTVA is reporting it was an honorable discharge.

http://www.ktva.com/home/top-stories/Arrest-Made-in-Koenig-Abduction-142864535.html
Keyes served three years in the army at Fort Louis, Fort Hood and Egypt. In 2000 he was honorably discharged.

While his business license is expired, Israel Keyes does have a valid professional license... "IS A REGISTERED GENERAL CONTRACTOR WITHOUT RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTOR ENDORSEMENT"

http://commerce.alaska.gov/occ/OccSearch/Detail.cfm?board=CON&LicType=E&LicNum=33009

bumping this up... IK's GC was not expired only his business license..

Re my bold... Ms Anderson could have told her neighbors that Israel left on vacation a months ago & when le investigated and/or interviewed these neighbors, they said he'd been on vacation for quite some time. A month or 2 ciuld be considered a long time. Just brainstorming...

A comment on ADN said she's in Egypt. Could be a jerk spamming...
