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

[DadinAK]

Can someone please run a prior convictions check on this Israel Keyes? TIA

I tried yesterday, and could find nothing in Alaska or Washington. I repeat "NOTHING"....I kinda found it strange, maybe someone else will have better luck now that his name is out there.

I'm absolutely thrilled that an arrest was made (and, thus, progress). I was literally flooded with - relief, almosta? Hope? - upon opening this thread.

Prayers that a resolution to this case is quick - her safe return, God willing.

I will say this, when I read his work history, I got a bad feeling.

We should do a search of Missing Cases in those states he worked at.

Based on this information, it seems like they arrested him first, then searched his home? Or am I getting the time line messed up?

when was the home search? (just wondering as I cannot seem to get my bearings/hold on the timeline) was it earlier this week?

Is his house in the direction LE said the kidnapper disappeared to?

 

[Chrome]

His business is. He also has went by the names Isreal Keyes and Israel Reyes, according to records. Also something about access device fraud? I'll see what else I can dig up on him.

The crime van was on Spurr on Tuesday night the 13th.

when was the home search? (just wondering as I cannot seem to get my bearings/hold on the timeline) was it earlier this week?

 

[nursebeeme]

not that it means anything... but he was stationed at Fort Hood when he was in the army

other than that his work history in construction seems very local to WA and Alaska (asserting that he has very good ties to locals and a few tribes) In other words I wouldn't see the guy traveling all over the country to build moo

Tuesday around 7pm per this link posted upthread (or previous thread):

Thanx for asking as I thought the arrest was today and thus that the home search led to the arrest. Seems to be the reverse.

Perhaps his AK driver's license led to the address of the search? Just speculating.

This article says:

"The Anchorage Police Department's major crime scene unit was in a Turnagain neighborhood some time after 7 p.m. Tuesday night, "gathering evidence for an ongoing investigation," said APD spokesperson Marlene Lammers."

And:

"Texas news station KTRE reported that Keyes was arrested in the parking lot of a restaurant after a traffic stop, where a Texas state trooper discovered there was an out-of-state bulletin on Keyes. Police searched the car and "found enough evidence in the vehicle to arrest the driver for suspected kidnapping," KTRE reported."

So he was arrested Tuesday and house searched after.

I cannot find facebook page for him. Can find (1) Israel Keyes in Anchorage, AK on public information.com...but have to pay for any further info. and I have gotten in trouble getting involved in that...somehow I get on a list of keep on paying instead of a one shot deal.
I did find his construction business on Bing..but Nursie already gave us that info.
Soooo.....if anyone can find ANYTHING on him, it would be greatly appreciated!
TIA

 

[SmoothOperator]

OK.. wanting clarification.. is his house the one on spurr. Lane that was searched yesterday?

They are reporting that he lived there. His name is not recorded as the property owner though.

But according to a charging document filed in at an East Texas federal courthouse, Keyes is charged with access device fraud, a charge typically levied against an individual who uses another person's bank or credit card to retrieve funds.

Markiewicz would not comment on whether police believe Keyes abducted Koenig or what led the authorities to him.

snipped....


Just after Keyes was arrested, police served a search warrant at a house near Clay Products Drive and Spurr Lane, in Anchorage's Turnagain neighborhood. Markiewicz said Keyes -- a construction company owner believed to be its sole employee -- lived at the house recently. Detectives have served nearly 40 search warrants in Anchorage at residences and to get phone records, Markiewicz said.
