Hi my name is Danielle, welcome to my True Crime and Makeup series! I’ve been interested in true crime for the longest time now, what started with me watching true crime on TV with my Nan from a young age eventually turned into studying for a degree in Law & Criminology.
When I first watched Bailey Sarian’s series I was completely hooked, I loved how she had combined two of the things I’m most passionate about and delivered it so well. She totally inspired me to take the leap and do the same thing on my channel, so all credit for the idea goes 100% to her.
I’m from the UK and will be covering cases from both the UK and internationally, let me know if there are any cases that you’d like to see from me! More cases will be coming soon so please subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

Israel: I don't want true crime documentaries on me
Danielle: Deal with it
We gotta make more videos abt him to anger him even more
❤😊
@上野アンナ idk if he is but he needs more videos about him it would be funny because he didn’t want coverage
@上野アンナ bro was a monster but family oriented af damn
I wish he was still alive to see and hear about it. He took the quick and cowardly way out, a luxury he didn’t give to his victims.
Me and my mother made all of Samanthas funeral flowers. Samanthas father gave us lime green necklaces as a thank you for helping them and trying to make everything as beautiful as we could. I was just a kid but he was a true good dad. I’ll never forget Samantha and her amazing father.
What a great story. He must have been a good dad. As I've seen alot of good stories about him here in the comments. Was your mom a florist?
Yes my mother is the best florist in Alaska. She helped with everything. My brother has actually been dating the cousin of Samantha for 6 years now. My family has always been close and connected with Samanthas family.
Samantha was a beautiful girl with a beautiful family. My family will never forget her. She deserved more in life but everyone in Alaska will always remember her. It’s just too close to home.
Bless all Souls involved.
And all those in the omniverse
Bless everyone and give love to anyone you can.
This episode truly gave me CHILLS. To set up a deceased person to look alive, take a pic, and send it to their family is morbid, cold, and at a level of callousness that is incomprehensible.
I agree with you 💯. The extent to which some people can be evil is purely demonic and very unimaginable.
I've seen so many of these but the fact that he braided her hair the way he does his daughters gave me chills. So disturbing.
Riiiiigghtt.
Agree 💯
Seems like he was possessed and wanted a bigger "joy ride" OMG 😔
I was friends with Samantha and it was absolutely awful
his poor daughter is probably so confused how to feel since he made it seem like he cared so much about her. i hope she is at peace and realizes how terrible he is
He probably did care about his daughter though... most serial killers kids that come out later in life seem to say their Dads were decent at the least it's kind of strange... I bet they felt blindsided or in denial. Who they had as a Dad is not who society experienced at their hands, if that makes sense? That's how I imagine it anyway.
@@janelle009 it’s really crazy how people can choose who they love, but then do unspeakable things to others. He probably did really care about his daughter, he also wouldn’t want anything like this to happen to her. Its really crazy
I think that’s what’s so unsettling about serial killers-it’s easier to believe that they are animals, who are completely unable to love. The reality, is: They can be a lot more like us than is comfortable. They have personal codes, people they care about and people they love.
The people who compare it to an addiction are probably more on-point than we realize.
If that was my father I would still love him . Get bent
@@bellateresa2710 love and respect are two different things. You can love someone but not respect their actions.
I generally have no time for makeup/murder videos. Just straight crime videos.
But you’re something special. For one thing, you are very thorough with detail, which I appreciate. And oddly, even though I don’t typically watch the makeup bit, I still get a kick out of seeing how your art works out.
Well done, dearie. Thank you
I never notice the makeup at all. I've listened to 3 stories today while cooking French toast for breakfast and then beef stew and cream cheese drop biscuits. Also washing dishes while simultaneously looking to see images that she is presenting. Without noticing the make up lol
I’ve lived in Alaska most of my life. When this happened Samantha and I were about the same age. When she went missing there was a huge search party looking for her, and I remember her dad stopped at nothing looking for her. It was so heartbreaking. Her poor dad loved her so much.
I live in alaska as well
@@SpannyBrat it's so sad and Israel had a kid right? The poor wife and kid
@@hannah3146 yes idk what happened to her
@Hannah oh shite; he reproduced? Hopefully the kid didn't inherit the douche canoe gene
U fukin stranger
Clicked on this immediately. I've heard of Israel keys plenty before, but I NEED to hear Danielle's telling. A big thing I always love about Danielle is how compassionate she is when speaking about victims and their families. I like hearing the clinical, law enforcement side, the shock of the case, etc., but Danielle brings some grounded humanity that I appreciate
Me too. Every time I hear about a murder case my first thought is "if only Danielle would cover this, she would say all that I want to hear". Even if a case is all over the internet I would still only watch when she covers that story.
Not me. She makes this guy to be 11 ft tall with all this sensationalism ($100 daily for coke, 1 bottle & 6-pack daily). Of course he’s going to brag about himself with all these supposed murders that he did. He’s a narcissist. You don’t need a cell phone to leave tracks (rental car agreements,
gas station videos, witness sightings, airline records, etc). He’s not even as good as the Zodiac.
GIRL. The consistency of your uploads and quality of your case coverage is top notch!! I’ve been a subscriber for about a year now and you are one of the best YTers in the true crime space!! Please keep doing what you’re doing. I’m here for it every Sunday 🙌🏼💫
I agree. I keep seeing other TC youtubers but end up coming back here because her way is so good and top quality. She covers everything leaving no details, and I love that.
Same. I started with Bailey Sarian which brought me to Danielle in the algorithm but at this point, its only Danielle i stick with. Quality is top notch and i never miss an episode.
@@kristoforc I discovered Danielle first, then Bailey after seeing Danielle's intro video
I still like a few podcasts but for yt I go to Danielle, Bailey, and EWU. JCS was a fave back a few yrs
I was the same age as Samantha and an early morning opener at a coffee shop at the time this happened to her and it shook me so hard. I eventually quit my coffee job where I was alone while opening to a job where I was always with someone else. No one should be working alone at jobs like this esp during sketchy hours
I worked across the street from the coffee shop she worked at and I would see her from time to time. Such a sweet girl. RIP Samantha 💚 still so crazy to think I clocked out just a few hours before this happened to her. 😢
He’s killed waaaay more ppl than we will ever know. Most narcissists won’t yeet themselves unless they want complete control over his secrets.
i think he felt a lot of power in not revealing all his victims. he got caught so really the only thing he could be in control of then was not being released in the media and not telling the whole truth so people and the police would kind of beg him for it. and it’s so obvious how much having complete control means to him when he said he doesn’t want his identity released because he doesn’t want people doing “some stupid true crime bullshit” it’s only because then he hasn’t control of what’s being said, he can’t manipulate people to view him in the way he wants to they are going to base there opinions on the case.
Absolutely. Control is key.
I bet he killed tons of children since his first victim was so young. He probably wouldn't have admitted to those because of his daughter. He doesn't want to hurt her because narcissistic people tend to view their children as an extension of themselves.
@@lilith364 yes so true. i think a lot of people would assume that he loves his daughter and cares about her and that would be the reason for him not wanting to tell the whole story or being released into the media. but sadly it’s not. i don’t think this man could be capable of loving anyone ever.
I’m just dying over your use of yeet 😂 we would be good friends
I'm just so surprised and confused about how Danielle doesn't have in the millions of subs. I found her, luckily, a year ago through watching Bailey Sarian. I absolutely love them both. Danielle is absolutely amazing at teaching and telling us about these true crime events. The facts and true emotions are genuine. Great work Danielle! ❤
I also found Danielle through Bailey. I love them both, but find myself here a lil more often. As always an awesome video!!!
That's how I found her too! When Bailey went on Hiatus! && I'm sooo glad I did! I loveee her! & I always say the same thing the GENUINE EMOTION DANIELLE SHOWS❤🥺 She definitely deserves MILLIONSSSS of subscribers !!! ❤❤
I found her the same way about the same time! I live listening to her. Well first Bailey them TH-cam showed me Eleanor and Danielle in the same day I was like AHH I LOVE THESE THREE I really gotta like the voice to stay interested and story telling abilities as well
I absolutely agree I fall asleep listening to her every night and I don’t think she has even one video I haven’t seen. I listen/watch on repeat she is one of my favorite true crimers and the way she tells the whole store while making it about the victims and being so genuine is not always the case in others videos. Thanks Danielle
I actually found her through bailey sarian too! If you appreciate the way she tells these stories, you may also really enjoy Stephanie Harlowe and Kendall Rae. Both amazing reporters, very insightful people and not afraid to show their emotions (especially Stephanie!)
One of the most terrifying, yet intriguing cases I've ever come across. I'm glad you're covering this case, we know you'll do the victims justice.
Yes very intriguing n chilling, I wonder why some ppl are so very EVIL, ???
You are so underrated. I appreciate all the hardwork, research, and time it takes for you to deliver these stories to us. And the way you deliver them, like we're just having a conversation and not like you're reading from a script, keeps me mesmerized every time. Thank you so much! I love your channel!
Someone asked me the other day why I watch makeup with true crime videos. I responded that even with the darkest subjects in the world this shows me that there's beauty and creativity to balance it all out.
Thank you for the way you present your videos Danielle, you deal with everything so sensitively and most importantly show such empathy and respect for the victims.
I first found out about this guy because his mother is one of the elders in a so called cult in my hometown. Apparently extreme religions are her jam & I feel like that probably contributed to Israel's screwed up mentality. But thats another story.
This case is just so disturbing. He was so worried about his daughter finding out, yet he kept that poor girl right outside his house. I wonder how he never cared that Samantha was someone's daughter too. 😢 Its just so sad.
He had nine siblings. As far as we know, none of them turned out to be sadistic murderers. It’s partly nurture, and partly some innate drive to kill and torture.
@@INTJ91 he was the oldest of 10 siblings.
That's really interesting that she's still out there, and still an extremist. What's the cult called?
@@samanthamountain9764 Church of Wells
The rotting is on his blood
It's very common in interviews to give the suspect what they want, food, cigarettes etc. and to play along with their story as a captive audience like you're their friends because the more you can keep them talking, the better chance at a solid conviction and harsher sentence.
Yeah, it's pretty messed up that the investigators have to do this. It must feel so surreal to laugh and joke with someone about their cold, vile murders like it's a celebrity gossip.
That's a fact.
You are right. In addition to what you said I think it's also a good way to make them talk and find out about their victims. Because they deserve to be found.
Exactly, if you start screaming and cussing them and telling they can't do this or that they will clam up and ask for an attorney and after that your interrogation is effectively OVER. You can hang it up because that attorney isn't going to let you go anywhere getting evidence from their client. Funny he was involved with a white supremacist church because his baby's momma/wife(?) when he was arrested is black.
There are just certain crimes I just don’t think I could do this with. Good detectives In these kind of cases are just beyond human imo
My dad would never have let me work in such a rural place alone. I used to work in a pub in my village that was literally a 5 minute walk from my house. I had to call my dad when I finished and my dad would come to get me. He was so adamant about it. I remember the Samantha case, this was the first one where I heard the 'never go to a second location' advice. Fight, scream, run but don't comply to leave
Good Father you have. Believe it.
Good dad 💜
Me and my grandmother were walking out of the bank here in Texas as he was walking in to rob it.... The look he gave us is one I will never forget!
What do you remember? What did he look like? Did you see a gun? That's crazy. 😱
WHAT. oh hellll nah. 😩 what else do you remember????
🥶
@@edward5408 I remember him having a shoe box or something very close to its likeness in his hands. As for the rest, I just remember the look he gave... That took the majority of our attention... Empty eyes!
She is literally my go to for true crime..even over Bailey. She just tells stories sooooo good !!!!
I've watched Bailey for a lot longer and just discovered this channel. I honestly like Bailey more because I love how real she is and it's like hearing a story from your friend. I also love Danielle though and I'm so glad I have true crime to watch while Bailey's uploads are more irregular.
I went to a college that is in a rainforest in Olympia,WA. 2005/2006 I was walking home to my dorm late and alone (so stupid of me that I think I could walk home alone), and this guy in running clothes who seemed to just be out on a jog asked me which way a particular road was. I pointed him to the correct direction, he thanked me and jogged off. About 2 minutes later he ran up to me from behind, tried to cover my mouth, trying to drag or pull me however he could. I was able to get his hands off my mouth long enough to scream and thankfully someone was up and had their window open.
The guy ran off, deeper into the woods.
They never found the man responsible, but the first time I saw Israel Keyes face-I swear that is the man who attacked me.
That man was a monster.
Sounds like Evergreen State. I’m originally from the same area. We had strange stuff going on at WWU in 2002-2004 as well.
@@rivendells_shona yep, I was a greener.
The Pacific Northwest breeds a different kind of serial killer.
@@TheHonorableAudio indeed. One of my classmates at WWU had been a coworker of Gary Ridgeway. He said the guy was quiet and not very pleasant, but still not someone you would have pinpointed as a killer.
OMG girl 👀👀😨. I'm so glad you survived.
Omg babe I just googled "was Israel keyes in Washington in 2005-2006"...And yes girl.
He was THERE!! That probably was HIM!!? I'm so grateful you are okay!! How TERRIFYING!!!
Also the coffee hut wasn’t open 24 hours!! It closed at 8pm and my dad happened to work right next to the hut. He was closing up his work while all of this was happening to Samantha. It’s terrifying to think of and my dad wishes he saw something to help her to this day. I swear I have four different connections to Samanthas whole case and it’s painful.
I really hope that Isreal was questioned about any native women that went missing or were murdered while living on his girlfriend’s reservation. I’ve been watching Kendall Rae’s videos and she covers a lot of MMIW cases and the fact that he lived on or near a reservation is terrifying!! Love you and your videos! Great job!❤❤🎉🎉❤❤😊
Fax! Kendall is problematic in her own right. There are many other indigenous YT's that shed light on those cases.
@@beautyonabarnbudgethow is she problematic? Curious as a viewer
Oh no. Just a sinking feeling reading that. That there seems to be a stretch of area where these poor women have gone missing from, I always wonder if it's not just ONE evil sicko. A truck driver or someone who would travel the distances. Isreal traveled. That's really chilling.
I want them to find answers so badly for all the families.
@@beautyonabarnbudget what how is Kendall problematic?
@@beautyonabarnbudget lol what? She is not problematic at all
I've grown up in Washington state, been here 40 plus years. I love this place. Why do we seem to create or attract serial killers? It is so weird. Growing up there was always reports of people going missing, then found murdered. it is unreal.
It’s supposedly due to the lack of vitamin D since we used to not get as much sun exposure. It also contributes to the depression numbers. I also think it’s the many places to get rid of people so it’s opportunistic. As far as the sun though, I feel like it’s getting better the last few years. Hi Washingtonian ❤I’m here too :)
@@vanessaprante1648eastern Washington is always sunny.
Washington also has the second highest suicide attempt rate .
@@vanessaprante1648try living in the UK, more specifically Wales , uk now we really don’t get enough sunshine! We get bright green fields and moody grey skies , no sun although not many serial killers either to be fair 😂
True
Danielle, can you please please please do a piece on the long haul serial killers in the US? It’s such a troubling and disturbing phenomenon. Also, love your channel and you’re so amazing ❤❤❤
I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska and I knew about this case because my sister worked at the same coffee shop as her. It was heartbreaking finding out what happened but it’s good to know that she’s in a better place and that Samantha’s law was put into place for those working at coffee shops. I also know a detective who worked on the case and they were so glad to finally give the family a sense of closure and justice.
What is the law that was put into place?
It’s hard to find when looking it up online, but it deals with the protection and safety of people in coffee shops like the one Samantha worked at. I don’t know if it’s just in Alaska that they did this, but for most, if not all coffee shops in Anchorage, they now have men working the night shifts. It also may depend on whether or not the coffee shop is one that is open 24 hours.
Also, I pretty sure that instead of one person being in there, there’s at least 2 people working.
I did too. My classmates Becca Phillips and Sabrina Imlach and their boyfriends were killed by Charles Meach at Russian Jack. He was on work release from API.
Sorry to hear about that. It’s good to know that these people are unable to hurt anymore innocent souls.
One of the most empathetic and non-exploitative true crime channels out there, good work
yes, truly agree, these are the perfect words to describe this amazing channel
yes, Im always so shocked how detached some people can be when I try to watch someone new. Danielle is aways so kind
I would most definitely sit through and eagerly listen to 6 hours of Danielle's storytelling.
Wow ... never knew so much details of this case. This monster had so much pride in protecting his own daughter and yet he violated other people's daughter's the way he did amongst the other victims smh. Thank you, so much.
He probably was so protective of his daughter cuz he knew the evil people that exist as he was one
Just wanted to point out that when you said the killer spelled "pretty" incorrectly, that's not actually true. In the US calling someone "purdy" is the same thing. It's just more of a playful cartoonish way of saying it. Furthermore, saying, "Ain't she purdy?" is a classic line from certain TV shows, etc.
Yeah it’s a southern or country way of speaking , as well, In the US
Good one ..
Im very open minded and I'd like to just boost my own booster ego a little and say im smart and I normally can say ."I Already knew THAT!!) But I learned something new today!!!
It might be something that is spoken, but it is something that is rarely written.
Yup. It's like he channeled his inner cowboy. He was saying "pretty" with a cowboy accent. 🤷♀️🤠
I love how Danielle went from 25-30 min videos and this one is an hour and a half! Watching your growth from the first video I ever watched of yours (which was the girl that killed her baby daddy for social media fame) til now. You just keep growing! Love this channel have a good week Daniele
I was just watching it without sound and thought it was a makeup tutorial 😕
@@adamscease4126 you read the title and still thought it was a makeup tut???
I live near where this happened and that just scares me how close I live near it.. alot of coffee carts here now always have 2-3 people towards the ends because of this so they are never alone. I send my deepest condolences to this family🥺
So my husband and I actually lived in this area, in the mountains, down the road from the Key's family. When we lived there, my husband worked all day and sometimes at night leaving me and my young sons at home alone. I always got the feeling of being watched and I was terrified of the forest, which was strange because i had lived in WA my whole life and i loved the forest, but for some reason this particular place just gave me a very unsettling and unusual feeling, like something dangerous was lurking, so I never let the kids play outside alone. We had no connections to the outside world. No TV, no internet, hardly any phone reception. Then, In the winter, my husband and I found footprints walking around the outside of our house, and thankfully, we ended up moving. Sorry the more you talked about this the more unsettled I got, I just had to share. There were too many similarities.
Where was this and when?
I avoided watching this one for a while because while I've been using true crime content as exposure therapy for my crippling phobia of bodily harm, harm to eyes are still the thing that brings me the most terror. And I assumed for this case that he sewed her eyes open while she was ALIVE. That idea of that happening, and the idea of not being able to close your eyes while you're being tortured was putting me on the edge of a panic attack. But, I decided it was eventually time to face my fears, continue to use it as exposure therapy, and honestly I was so relieved that she wasn't subjected to that when she was still alive.
Well wishes to her family, this man is so twisted...
This is what I thought also. I when I saw the thumbnail I was just imagining her trying to blink and her eyes going dry. It was haunting me. I hope you get some healing soon, and I hope you have a great community to surround you💕💕💕
You should watch the Alison Botha one she covers, that one I really struggled to get through I had to come off a couple of times because I was literally cringing but she’s so good at telling it to really emphasis the survivor not the perpetrators x
I also thought she was going to be alive while this happened and it terrified me
She was long dead before he did that.
I don't have a phobia like this but those thoughts are very disturbing anyway... This case isn't this kind of horrible though, it's terrifying because of Israel Keys as a person.
I was in college in Anchorage when this happened it was so scary- I was staying late to get practicum hours the day after she was abducted and my fellow classmate said he was leaving a bit earlier than usual bc his friend worked at the same exact coffee hut Samantha did & he was going to be there for his friend for company/safety. It truly could've just been any worker that had a shift that night she disappeared. Back then it was typical for just 1 person to be working in those huts during dark hours (it gets dark here around 3:30-4 pm during winter). It did go to 2 shortly after the case, not sure if that's stayed though.
For years, I would think of Samantha every single time I passed by that coffee hut- just a senseless event. Israel is a monster
It did change because of her, it’s called Samantha’s Law and it says that there have to be a minimum of 2 people working at locations like this. I would have thought it was standard policy to have 2 in the first place, when most of your employees are teenaged girls.
@@siobhanmorrison3561 That's good to hear! I had not heard of that change since leaving college- but agreed with your last part too; I'm not sure why it was ever ok to have just 1 person working in those at night before. Very relieved to hear that permanently changed
I love my job as an embalmer. I see the saddest things every day. My humanity is triggered a lot but at least in death I can take care of them, even if the coffin is closed. I work with the dead because the I don’t have much time for the human race. Great video ❤
Thank you so much for your very hard, dedicated and underappreciated work. You are in my heart and my prayers.
Same here...
I've thought about doing their makeup but wondered if it would be more difficult than I think. I bet it can be quite triggering! I first saw the idea of working in a funeral setting in My Girl lol
Humbling role . Thankyou for caring in the final journey of many
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. Truly. Thank you.v
i love that she talks about the victims at the end, to remind us of the fact they were people just like us, and it also shows Danielle giving her love and respect for all the right people involved with the case.❤
also as baily serian says best GET👏BETTER👏IDOLS👏
This case is bonkers, and very surreal for me to listen to. I grew up in northern Oregon and now live in Alaska. I recognized a lot of the locations mentioned and it just gives me chills to think about how close to home this crazy guy was. Thank you for another amazing video ❤
One and a half hours? Thanks for your hard work! You always go so in-depth with your videos and that's why I love them so much. My evening plans are set 😆
Rip to all the victims and animals that were unfortunate enough to cross this monsters path. My heart goes out to their families especially samantha's family who had to see that horrid photo. His poor daughter, how haunting it must be to know all of this after the fact. Thank you Danielle for continously making these in depth videos. I imagine it's quite draining researching all of this every week. Stay safe everybody 💕
*edit*
Im also grateful to know that wasnt the real photo of Samantha. It's haunted me a bit ever since the first time I saw it. It's still terrible, and horrific but im grateful the real picture isnt in my headspace.
Well said
He was so incredibly smart, even the way he took himself out was brilliant. What a shame he used that for evil and not good.
Aside from your most adorable accent and beautiful face….you are so FUN to listen to. You don’t seem as scripted as other TC YTrs. I appreciate anything you make and you get better and better with time (I have been around since followers were lower). Keep up the amazing content creation ❤️🙏🏻
I would like to ask him how he would feel if his little girl was to meet someone like him and to go through what he put his victims through just to see if he would laugh at that.
Late reply but I wish someone asked him that question. I bet he would have flipped out
I understand what you said about the laugh! It is chilling. He's also laughing all casually, like if someone told him a joke or something
Finally you posted , I can go to bed now calmly after watching this 😭
I’m the same!! Jaja
Me too 😂 I love how it calms us watching things like this before bed 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 girl this can't be our lives though cos wow when I got the notification I got excited too 😮
I lived in Anchorage when this happened...so heartbreaking! I used to let my son walk home from the park and school, but after this I wouldn't let him go anywhere by himself. I've seen several videos about him and he is just evil. Thank you for covering this case. Too bad we will never know how many lives he took.
I lived in a one bedroom cabin with my brother, mom, and stepdad, when I was like eight years old… We lived there with no electricity for like four years. Fun times.
I live in Alaska. I was Samantha’s age when she disappeared. I live down the road from that lake. I drove past it one day and there were white tents everywhere. Her body was recovered that day.
So? I happened to me where serial killers was and meet them, often shortly before they killed theyr last victim before getting caught. Including this one. On multiple continents. And other types of killers. I do not like my script writers.
Sooo close to 1mil!! You are doing such an amazing job. Extremely good story teller but you the most important thing is you don't just tell the story of a murder. You tell the victims story. Thank you for that. We love you, Danielle 💕
Um? Haha, so close? She’s over 200K away still…
@@amymckay23 it's really not that far away given how far most TH-camrs from this amount to 1mil. Ummm, hahaha REALLY not that big of a deal 😆. Are you upset over the number difference or her success
@@Im.sorry.ms.jackson Clearly you’re the one upset…
I haven't seen many people cover the case of Oscar Pistorius. He was a South African Double Amputee Olympic Runner who killed his fiance and tried to say he thought she was a robber. ( he shot her through a closed door while she was on the toilet). He has been fighting to get out of prison and none of us South Africans want to see that. It would be awesome if you could cover this story. There is alot of coverage, so information is not scarce but I haven't seen any big names cover the story. You would tell it in the most entertaining way! Love your videos!
I’ve come across that case before, I believe… discovery? Maybe? Did an episode about it.
@@lizjarvis689 it's an incredible case, and right now he is trying to get approval for parole after not spendjng nearly enough time in prison
He is already on the way out? It was 10 y ago, i rremember it well...
Simon Whistler did it very recently
Danielle does cover it later. Look for it. Very sad for his fiancé. She was only seeing an old friend/ flame. If only he had given her the chance to TALK it out but his jealousy was too much. He thinks because he was a handicapped Olympic champion he should get off. Just because you are handicapped doesn’t mean you can’t be a monster.
Whats crazy to me is how close to home this one hits. I live close to Colville, I lived in Alaska as well and I had no idea about this one. Thank you for always doing an amazing job covering these cases ❤
When he said he didnt want a true crime documentary done on him and Danielle said to bad 😂😂🙌 yesss QUEEEEN SASSY DANIELLE! THIS IS WHAT I AM HERE FORRRR!!! 😂❤
OMG I knew of the Samantha case but nothing of his other crimes in the retellings of this monsters history. 😮
Danielle is a master of her craft. So sincere, thorough, heart felt. This was a hard one to see. But thank you Danielle for being so kind and beautiful. Inside as well as superficially. ❤
You and Stephanie Harlow are my favorite true crime content creators. You always post the craziest stories that I have never heard. You always add just enough detail, not ever overbearing and I just really appreciate you! Thanks ❤
Mine too.. these two ladys and 10 to life-annie elise, love her also… ❤️
@@Cirath01 love all 3 and also Emma Kenny is brilliant too, gi e her. Ago, always nice long in-depth videos, she's also a psychologist and always gives extra insight into the killers .
I was wondering when you were going to cover this case. Samantha is/was my cousin. 😢 What happened to her was so horrific.
How horrific for her family. 😢 I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for what happened to her.
So sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for all families and loved ones of this monsters victims.
I'm so sorry for what happened to Samantha xx❤
I thought I knew a lot about this case but Holy moly. You brought so much new-to-me information in this video! Good job!
Really scary to think that there are people like this, just walking among us like butter wouldn't melt. What an horrific human being. I love your Stories Danielle. 🥰🇬🇧🎄
Now i see the inspiration for the new seasons of Criminal Minds 😱
Thank you Danielle. I've been so sick and unable to enjoy Easter this weekend. you've made my day I've been waiting for this all day ❤
Hope you feel better soon ❤
Same thing with me. Get well soon 💛
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 Thank you.
@@roosaas Thank you. and I hope you feel better soon, too
Feel better
I watched other channels covering this case and they did not come nearly as close to how meticulously good you covered it. Bravo
I was 18 when Samantha Koenig went missing. I lived just outside Anchorage. I had just graduated high school and was getting ready to attend a barista class in Anchorage. I actually lived out in Wasilla when he killed her and I had visited the lake he dumped her body in RIGHT before they found her there in April. I took frequent walks around Kepler Bradley Lake and Matanuska Lake where they found her. It's totally unsettling to think that I was just walking around, enjoying the scenery while she was dead in the water in front of me somewhere and I didn't know it. What happened to Samantha changed the course of my young adult life. It could have been me. I will never forget her.
Hailing from Vermont, many folks I know in this community were very shaken up by Bill and Lorraine’s tragic case. Prayers to all the families.
My in laws live an hour from Essex. I mentioned this guy to her, and all she said was "Yup. There's been a lot of murders in that town." She remembers one from when she was young about two teenage girls who were killed by two teenage boys.
Danielle you do such an awesome job! Your hard work shows…I always look forward to Sunday! This was a fascinating case! Thank you
Amazing job as always! You are the most consistent youtuber out there in my opinion. You deserve so many more followers!
Neah Bay is such a small community, everyone knows everyone there. I hope his ex from there and his daughter are being protected and shielded from the fallout as much as possible. I am from Washington State and have been to Neah Bay. It's not a place that is well-traveled, it's on the absolute tip of the peninsula. A very beautiful and peaceful place. This case is so awful and his laugh is so disturbing. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love the way Danielle talked about his cocaine use, like 100$ is a huge amount. At my most active use of crack, I'd start at 8am, & spend about 400$, but the more you buy, the more you get for free, so you could really double that in reality. I've been sober for many years now, but recently heard about a woman's partner who is still in his active addiction & he spent something like 6 grand in a week, which is crazy.
Congrats on being sober. I can't imagine how hard that must have been
cocaine is a lot more expensive than crack tho
@@melissamoonchild9216Not really, nowadays its the other way around because you have to cook rock yourself, but it just depends on where ur at in the food chain of dope
Oh my god I've heard of the last kill of this murderer, it was in a list of the most disturbing things found on the internet, specifically the photo he took of her body. It makes me so sick, and all the while I had no idea this case included this specific murder. What a monster.
Having small talk and getting coffee for someone like him is not a job I ever want to have. Bless investigators for what they do and what they have to see and hear.
Crazy Story! Love the presentation! Thank you for all your hard work and efforts!
I just love the way you present these cases and how thorough and thoughtful you are. I know a lot of time energy and research goes into making these videos for us each week and I really appreciate it. I love your content and look forward to your weekly uploads. You cover so many heavy topics and a lot of gruesome, messed up killers I hope you take a break or time for yourself so the material doesn’t overwhelm you. It is A LOT. Thank you for all your hard work and all you do. I especially love how you really focus on the victims and end the videos speaking about them and not the perpetrator. ❤️ You truly have a gift. May God bless you always. Keep on shining! 💖💗💫⭐️🌸🙏
It is obvious that you put not only so much time but the emotional part of yourself into these presentations. Thank you for your impeccable information. You are so beautiful in body and soul. God bless.
You know there are only 2 content creators I truly have respect for here, you darling are one of them, you have compassion and a heart for the victims in the cases you talk about and I mean really have compassion, thank you for being you
In my opinion, Keyes was one of...if not the scariest serial killer. He was incredibly intelligent and so unassuming. His method was virtually foolproof and God only knows how much longer he could've gotten away with killing had he not gotten caught with Samantha Koenig. He got too arrogant, overconfident, sloppy, lazy and that's how he was caught. (Thankfully.)
It's confirmed that he killed 3 people and suspected that he killed 11. I think that murder count is MUCH higher.
He is notorious,but you have highlighted many things i never knew about him.Thank you ❤
Thank you for blessing us with an almost hour and a half video!! Absolutely love your content 🥰❤️
I remember how much Alaska came together for Samantha. It’s truly so heartbreaking. My heart aches for her family & the rest of the victim’s families
You’re my favorite channel ❤
Omg I heard of this case! It blows me away he sewed her eyes open! As for suggestions can you do the Alvin and Judith Neelley case, the Alyssa Bustamante case, the Sterling Koehn case and the Robert Ben Rhoades case? All 4 cases have been so interesting to me and I think you’ll be interested in them too.
I wish she would do more cases that are not widely known. Ones that everyone else in True Crime hasn't already done.
@@laughingcorrpseholly4136 same.
Just to take a picture for ransom 🫣
@@laughingcorrpseholly4136 , that would be nice, but every true crime channel covers stories SO differently & sometimes bring different information. So personally, I don't mind hearing the same crime from different TH-camrs
@@shaylatorch yeah that was kinda my point too. I’d like to see ones that haven’t been done but I’d also like to see ones that are barely done too
Happiest of Easter’s to you! I’m have been running my ass off the last three days getting everything ready for Easter and our family meal today. My husband and I our 3 kids and our brother in laws and after all of that I am so excited to watch this video today. I have been patiently waiting for you to cover this mind boggling real life nightmare so thank you
very fruitless, but wholesome comment. i hope you had a good holiday nonetheless; i slept till 5pm & it was just another day, but easter was so fun when i was a kid so ik your littles will remember that even the “smaller” holidays were great cause of momma.
33:55 - oh my gosh Danielle, thank you SO much for mentioning Maddie Scott! ; ___ ;
Maddie's disappearance shook the town and has hung like a dark cloud over the surrounding area for twelve long years. I swear the entire area is a hellmouth.
I hope one day you can tackle an entire video talking about the Highway of Tears in British Columbia. It's a highway with a history of horror, connected to over 50 years of murders and disappearances, primarily of Indigenous women.
YES!
@@VB-ff1dr it’s such a scary reality, always have to be looking over your shoulder
Who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. - Timothy 2:4.
Her body has been found
Now I have to look that up sounds very sad but interesting
I'm thankful this case is being brought back to life. I live near Colville, and yes, girl, you said it right. 🤣
I am familiar with this case but really impressed with the detail and narrative. I had never seen his arrest photo before but it brings an important moment of solace and so glad you included it
OMG! This was my guess who your video was about on your community post! So excited for this!!! Thank you Danielle!!! Happy Easter! 🐣🐇🐰 💘💘
You covered this case amazing, this is absolutely chilling. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into your content ❤
As a fellow True Crimes Channel, I can say for a fact that there are different levels of Evil out there. These serial killers are valid examples.
🫠🫠🫠
I’ve lived in Alaska most of my life and Washington for quite a while before moving back. This guy haunts me. So cold and creepy. A lot of young girls work in the coffee huts that are all over up here and I wanted to in high school. My parents said absolutely not and as an adult with 5 daughters of my own, I completely get it and will never let one of my girls work in one.
Danielle kirsty, I love your videos, this one was hard gave me chills, and having a cat and 2 kittens that's just awful made me cry 😢 xxxx
Wow, you did a Phenomenal job covering this case! Thank you so much sister!
I hope you cover the Junko case. Iv heard the story before but I know you would do more research and I would learn more about that horrible case. If you do cover it I want to warn you that it’s one of those stories that damn near made me cry. But no one can cover a case as good as you. And I feel like her story deserves to be told and known by the masses because the people responsible are among us in society. And I know you would be genuine and put in the work to bring all the facts
I wonder is this where the new criminal minds got their story line of the kill kits? Crazy!!😮 a great video as always! ❤
It is I had to look it up
Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you so much for the heads up about the cat story.
We will never truly know the correct number of victims. Just like all of the serial killers of the 70s & 80s, there are so many missing people from that time, we will never know who was responsible for who.
I love Sunday evenings! I come home from church and just wait for Danielle to post! This guy is so cold ass scary, because he is a freaking genius, and just so, like unaffected (?) by it all. I'm not sure if that's the right word, but he creeps me WAY the hell out.
American Predator by Maureen Callahan was a great audiobook on him. It goes into some of the politics between the prosecutor n police that probably ruined the chances of finding out more victims. It’s infuriating that one person legit ruined him opening his mouth.
what do u mean about one person ruining his attempt to speak on his shit?
Danielle, I am obsessed with your videos, I love your narration and the way you present these cases!
Hi Danielle! Ive been watching your videos for over 1 year now and your way of presenting information has got me into true crime even more!
I wanted to make a case suggestion but dont know where, so im just writing it here: Have you ever heard about the case of Elize Matsunaga? It happened in 2012 in brazil, and it involved the murder of a famous businessman by his own wife, it shocked our country, not only for the way it happened, but the reason why. It got a documentary on Netflix last year i think.
Thank you.
correction, the doc was made in 2021, "once upon a crime"
Love and appreciate you Danielle. The quality and consistency is off the charts. Keep doing you and being great.
You know it's sad that I'm so unphased by any true crime story.... Given everything I've been through growing up and also growing up with horror movies (saw, zombies, ghosts, ECT.) It's really hard to find something that scares me
Really? Check us out then. But for real, I think it is the empathy you approach a case with that makes it impactful on you .... not necessarily to scare you.
They’re not meant to scare you
Same
What probably should scare you is that's the exact same process that most of these killers go through. They watch, read, listen to the most horrific and violent media until they don't feel anything from it anymore, then they have to go out and do it for real to feel something. Then they ramp up the violence and risk to get the same thrill until they die or are caught. They're like junkies, having to get their fix of violence but needing more and more with less downtime between hits.
Probably best you lay off the horror movies and true crime for a bit. Have a bit of a detox. You can totally reset from it. I used to look at all kinds of messed-up stuff online when I was a teen. I went pretty much cold turkey, and now I'm grossed out by all that stuff again.
@@Draggonny see that doesn't matter because of my life experiences.... I have gone through EVERY form of abuse, neglect, several domestic violence relationships, raped several times.... Ect....... All of this 23 out of my 27 almost 28 years of life..... So no I'm not afraid of anything
I live in Upstate NY and one of his murder kits was found a few towns away. Really creepy.
😮
