From August 9th, 2005 to June 24th, 2006 - it is believed that Israel Keyes used his bayliner boat to dispose of 2 people - in two separate incidents - on two separate lakes in Washington. One lake is believed to have been a remote destination not far from Neah Bay. In this episode - We find out more about Israel's time on this lake and how his friend may unknowingly hold the key to one of Israel's crimes as I take a boat to the Islands of this lake to scout them for a future search.

22 years ago, Bobb interviewed and was hired by the Makah tribe in Neah Bay, WA to work for the waste water treatment plant. Little did he know, that the same day, his friendship with the serial killer Israel Keyes would also begin. For the next 5 years he spent his days working alongside Keyes while also spending his free time fishing, bbq’ing, and hanging out with Israel. In this episode - we ask Bobb about details from his statement that he gave to the FBI while also finding out the real story about Israel’s day to day life and job duties on the Olympic Peninsula.

19 years ago, after 5pm on Friday June 23rd, 2006 is when I think Mike Mason most likely went missing from the Dungeness Forks Campground on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. The cause for his disappearance is still in question. In this episode we explore all of the ways that Mike could have disappeared while also explaining how this ties into the Israel Keyes case and how you can help either case progress.
If you have seen a gun that could match the characteristics of Mike's guns, Then please contact Detective Jeff Waterhouse at Clallam County Sheriff's Office.
If you have a tip for the Mike Mason Case, Please contact the same Detective Waterhouse. Clallam County is in charge of the case. It is considered a cold case. Phone 360-417-2262
If you know something, it's time to tell someone. Please report it. Phone 360-417-2262 or 1-800-CALL-FBI
If you are the coworker that purchased a gun from Israel, Please call the FBI and ask to surrender it for their investigation.

In 2005, 18 miles southwest of Port Angeles, Washington, a group of hikers stumbled across a black trash bag hidden behind a tree—inside: a pickaxe, rope, duct tape, and condoms. It would be almost 8 years later that they would come to realize the importance of what they found. In this episode, we leave civilization behind and bike over 20 miles into the remote Washington wilderness to examine the terrain and seclusion firsthand. As we begin breaking down the small but deliberate choices Keyes made early in his criminal career.

In this episode we will outline the circumstances of this young woman's disappearance and the teamwork between agencies that led to Israel’s apprehension.

We are excited to bring you the third part of a conversation we had with 4 retired FBI profilers from the podcast, The Consult. They independently profiled the Samantha Koenig case and the William and Lorraine Curriers case before anyone knew that a serial killer was involved. They know the case well and have covered Israel Keyes on thier show. Their experience and expertise shines through as they begin to put to bed all of the mystic built around Israel. We not only get their insight into the details surrounding his drawings and writings found in his cell, but they also discuss Israel in a more general sense and how Israel relates to other offenders.
Enjoy!
