Israel Keyes reminds me of The BTK in which they lived relatively normal lives except for the fact they were both serial killers and nobody near them knew the truths.These monsters in disguise were able to get away with it because of their elusiveness, intelligence to some degree, but also careful planning so much so it was the descriptive journalling that caught the BTK.
In the end the victims have another term for these toxic individuals and the fact that many wonder whether it's nature or nurture is insignificant compared to the number of lives suddenly snuffed out.
Whether using his Kill Kits is irrelevant because he was someone who moved with rapid precision after each killing that it was hard to simply keep track of his whereabouts and activities.
He eventually succumbed to his own madness at his own hands but not before leading police on a wild goose chase for his victims as well as the evidence to convict him.
This was one fascinating work that exposes the problem with traditional police forces.
Rather than be proactive they are reactive and often are in a 'kill or be killed warrior mentality' which is also a problem not fully addressed in the criminal justice world of needing new legislature to combat reformation.
I highly recommend this great new work American Predator by Maureen Callahan.
