Israel Keyes:
Searchable FBI Records Vault
The FBI's Israel Keyes Records Vault is the most exhaustive reference available. It contains a staggering 3,866 pages of documents that can be downloaded for free.
The problem? FBI resources are needed for solving crimes, not organizing notes to make them easier for the rest of us to read. This is a complex case involving multiple divisions and district offices of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. The files are not sorted in chronological order, and there are a lot of redundant documents. Most people have neither the time nor the energy to sort through it all.
LastKnownContact's research team created a searchable version that we are happy to share. We ran the files through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and added page numbers to make it easier to reference the contents. A few things to keep in mind:
• The results are not foolproof; OCR can misread words and will skip over any section of text it misidentifies as a picture.
• Case notes were continually updated as new information was discovered, so earlier documents include details that were later proven wrong.
• The files contain very disturbing information that you will not be able to unlearn once you have read it.
Israel Keyes acted alone and was responsible for his own actions. Any and all people affected, including his friends and family members, have the right to privacy.
If you have information that is relevant to his case, we strongly encourage you to contact the proper authorities, not civilian journalists or podcasters.
