Sorry if this has been posted before. If so, I didn't find it here. It is a fairly recent articlenon the sk Israel Keyes. And I think it contains some pretty interesting info about the dual personalities of this particular one. I know Peter can give a lot more examples than I can, but there a quite a few sk's that had claimed that they had this other personality that just takes over when triggered. It is amazing to me how they are able to hide this "other person/evil monster" from close family members and friends.

To Monique Doll, Keyes was a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde personality, but she saw only the diabolical side."We knew him as a serial killer," she says. "That's how he spoke to us. We didn't know ... the father, the hard-working business owner."Keyes warned investigators that others might mischaracterize him."There is no one who knows me - or who has ever known me - who knows anything about me really. ... They're going to tell you something that does not line up with anything I tell you because I'm two different people basically," he says in one snippet released by the FBI."How long have you been two different people?" asks Russo, one of the prosecutors.Keyes laughs. "(A) long time. Fourteen years."Authorities suspect Keyes started killing more than 10 years ago after completing a three-year stint in the Army at what is now Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Wash.Sean McGuire, who shared a barracks with Keyes, says they developed a camaraderie while spending some time together during grueling training in Egypt. But he says he was disturbed by a dark side that sometimes surfaced. When Keyes was offended by his buddy's comments, he'd drop his head, McGuire recalls, knit his brow, lower his voice and say, "I want to kill you, McGuire."Keyes, the second eldest in a large family, was homeschooled in a cabin without electricity near Colville, Wash., in a mountainous, sparsely populated area. The family moved in the 1990s to Smyrna, Maine, where they were involved in the maple syrup business, according to a neighbor who remembered Keyes as a nice, courteous young man.After leaving the Army, Keyes worked for the Makah Indian tribe in Washington, then moved to Anchorage in 2007 after his girlfriend found work here. A self-employed carpenter and handyman, he was considered competent, honest and efficient."I never got any bad, weird, scary, odd vibe from him in any way, shape or form," says Paul Adelman, an Anchorage attorney who first hired Keyes as a handyman in 2008.Keyes' live-in girlfriend also was floored to learn of his double life, according to David Kanters, her friend."He had everyone fooled," Kanters told The Associated Press in an email. "THAT is the scary part. He came across as a nice, normal guy." (She did not respond to numerous requests for comment.)Keyes blended in easily."He was not only very intelligent," Doll says. "He was very adaptable, and he had a lot of self-control. Those three things combined made him extraordinarily difficult to catch."Keyes also was meticulous and methodical, flying to airports in the Lower 48, renting cars, driving hundreds of miles searching for victims, prowling remote spots such as parks, campgrounds and cemeteries. The Koenig case was an exception; it was in his community.In one recorded interview, Keyes discussed his methods:"Back when I was smart, I would let them come to me," he said, adding that he would go to isolated areas far from home. "There's not much to choose from ... but there's also no witnesses."Keyes was proud he'd gone undetected so long. When asked for a motive, Anchorage police officer Bell recalls, Keyes said, "A lot of people ask why, and I would be like: Why not?""He liked what he was doing," says FBI Special Agent Jolene Goeden. "He talked about getting a rush out of it, the adrenaline, the excitement."
