Serial killer Israel Keyes was prepared for murders | Forensic Files

this was found at Blake River Falls reservoir in New York everything was contained in a Home Depot
bucket tell me about how Israel Keys used these buckets he had essentially three different types
of caches he had caches that had weapons guns zip ties anything that he would use
to commit a homicide that was one type of cash he had a cache that also contained money money that he stole from
somebody and then the third type of cash that he had were those that had souvenirs souvenirs that he took from
victims that he that he killed and serial killers often like to take a souvenir correct in how many different
states do you know did he have one of these caches I don't think we know I don't think we have you know any idea as
to actually actually how many there are what's all this stuff for what options does it give keys when he has these
various items he just liked guns and so he talked about having a fascination with guns and weapons since he was a
teenager so I think he just liked to have all of these different options this would have been part of a 22 rifle we've
got the scope mm-hmm the barrel and the trigger here huh this is a drum magazine
that was converted for a 22 and how many bullets can go in there approximately I
don't recall how much this one can hold but it's it's a significant number this is a homemade brass catcher that he made
so this would catch any of the spent rounds coming out of his weapon so he wouldn't leave the evidence behind was
this man an intelligent person in Europe in your opinion yes I do think he was he
was prepared and that's one of the things that I think is unique about Keyes is that is how meticulous he was
how thorough he was how much he planned and to have this much in one location this is just an indication of just how
incredibly dangerous he was

The FBI reveals for the first time the contents of what the meticulous serial killer referred to as his “kill caches."
