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

[Fishermom]

I noticed the mailing address and the physical address are two different numbers and streets. Note: the mailing address is not a P.O. Box...so I am thinking it is a physical location.
Could these two addresses get us any further in finding info. regarding Israel Keyes?
Are you locals familiar with:
134 West 12th Street (mailing address) and
Arctic Blvd. #2891 (physical address)?

One is near downtown...the other near/in "midtown". Prob around 4 miles apart give or take. Please note: Samantha's dad lives on Iowa...which I believe is also considered Turnagain...though prob around 3 miles away from Spurr Lane...

In my mind, I keep returning to James Koenig's prior post (that I am not sure we can post...though I do think it eventually ended up posted in the paper). He stated that (paraphrased) that whoever had her needed to return her and that he (knew? or felt?) she had been harmed to some extent but that they could deal with that and that they just wanted her back. This still makes me feel that there is a lot more to this than we know...and that maybe, just maybe, she could be alive still.
I want to know who Israel hung with in Anchorage. What did he do afterwork? Who knew him? Spurr Lane is adjacent to Spenard. It is a roughish part of town. Maybe the bars there might know something? In a broad generalization (sorry), construction workers often grab beers after work...maybe a source of info. I hope people see this guys picture and call in tips...

in an article? tia

Two commenters under two different articles.. one said that it was stated in one of the
articles from Texas. .

HTH

I know what you are speaking of fishermom .. it was in James 4page letter.. IMO it wasn't specific at all but rather that even if something had happened to Sam that they still could get her back and help her.. get her fixed back up.. IMO it was only stating in general terms if she had been physically emotionally harmed that they would be able to deal with that. .they just wanted her back.. I believe there is no ties other than strictly acquaintances at the very most. .

Anchorage police and the FBI are asking that any of Keyes' associates, anybody who's had contact with him since Jan. 1, or anyone who may have done business with his company, Keyes Construction, call 1-800-225-5324 OR 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Markiewicz said that request does not necessarily mean anything related to the abduction happened at a house or business where Keyes may have worked. But tips related to Keyes' work might help the investigation, the detective said.

Do they think he might have disposed of evidence at a work site?

But if it was Samantha's credit card he was accessing illegally, and he is already expected to appear in court..wouldn't her home address have been notified?
And wouldn't James have been notified, as well, since he lives at that house?
Again...I am just throwing ideas "out there" to see if any "stick to the wall", so to speak!
JMO

Most people change the address/ phone on the account when fraudulently using someone elses credit card so that the "real" owner can't be notified. Especially with online banking and assuming he at one point had Sam with him, it wouldn't be hard to make sure JK wasn't being notified.

The problem I'm having is that surely LE was tracking all her accounts to see if they were being used (and would notice that change?) .

Perhaps THAT is what lead LE to say they thought she was still allive ? Her CC was used and they presumed it to be used by her? Maybe viewed an ATM cam and saw it wasn't her ? Lead them to Isreal?

(throwing ideas out with you)

It's interesting that the federal arrest warrant is sealed. Don't they usually do that when there are other suspects at large? They don't want those people to be tipped off that they're on to them so they keep the indictment sealed (because the indictment has information about where they are in their investigation and might even name or otherwise identify other persons of interest).

APD is basically saying that this guy is the only guy, but if that were the case then why seal the federal warrant?

I want to know who Israel hung with in Anchorage. What did he do afterwork? Who knew him? He was due in Anchorage for something to do with the law on Tuesday (I have read). What was this??? Spurr Lane is adjacent to Spenard. It is a roughish part of town. Maybe the bars there might know something? In a broad generalization (sorry), construction workers often grab beers after work...maybe a source of info. I hope people see this guys picture and call in tips...

Unless I'm completely mistaken... hasn't JK stated he was in construction? I wonder if it was roads / etc. or homes/ remodeling/ etc. I know JK has stated that he doesn't know the accused, but perhaps the accused knew JK and had a grudge about a business matter ? ? ?

Have any of you seen the actual video of him being arrested? I found one.

I was just pondering this quote which could be interpreted to mean others are involved:

bolded by me

"We believe that he is the person that -- that was the main figure in the abduction and he's the main person of interest," Markiewicz said. "We can't go into details on his role and say what happened; what we can say is that his arrest is related to the case."

I'll try to copy and paste it but I haven't had much luck. He doesn't look anything like he did in the picture. Its under Alaska Pride and if you scroll down the page you will see the video. I'll try this again but don't know if it will work.

I agree. He looks nothing like the photo posted (above your post) during the arrest. His hair is more grey, a lot shorter. I wonder where the picture (above) came from. It looks like a mugshot.

In the video I saw JK stated he was a driver. Didn't say what or where so could be construction related?

Here's the pic from your link. I actually think he looks the same in his face but has a shorter, better haircut.

Gosh I really want to know where the first one was taken from. It's the same guy for sure, but they weren't taken anywhere near each other. I was thinking maybe passport for the first one instead of mugshot, but I'm 99% certain (b/c of the Zahara Baker case) that passports are required to be with a white background ? ? ? Maybe a drivers license?

 

[katydid23]

Looks like he didn't want to be recognized, thus the new 'straight edge' haircut.

Dude's sportin' a mullet, which hasn't been in style for many years. Unless maybe he liked that look? Idk but the pic looks dated IMO. Looks like a mug to me too but could just be a closeup for any old reason. He has ties to AK, WA, TX, NY...trying to check data bases.
