vanished from their Essex home.

The couple's garage window was broken,

Police say they do have evidence the couple was abducted.

WOMAN: On Wednesday, coffeehouse worker

Samantha Koenig had been working

the night shift and was scheduled to close around 8PM.

♪♪

Police say they believe a stranger took

Koenig and now need your help finding her.

MAN: I don't know if my daughter is being fed,

taken care of, if she's still alive,

if she's getting any sleep.

Just please help find my daughter.

WOMAN: Federal prosecutors say 34-year-old Israel Keyes,

an army veteran and self-employed contractor stole

a debit card from the coffeehouse worker.

♪♪

He says he doesn't want a crime TV show, but everything

about the things he says are very provocative and very,

um, I think he would want a crime TV show,

you know, I think in his narcissism.

[laughs]

MORGAN: He clearly knows that he has, in part, an upper hand.

He's playing cat and mouse in the interview.

He's being in charge. He's leading the interview.

Israel Keyes, um, entered the Common Ground coffee

kiosk just a few minutes before eight o'clock, closing.

Um,

he bound Samantha Koenig inside the kiosk.

In the shed is where he sexually assaulted

and killed Samantha Koenig.

MAN: Keyes then dismembered her body and dumped

her remains in Matanuska Lake.

BERRILL: It almost sounds like he's bragging.

He definitely got a kick out of the effect

this had on his friends.

I'm sure he scared them, and it horrified them,

and I'm sure that was

as much a source of pleasure as killing the cat,

if not more.

♪♪

[Israel laughs]

DETECTIVE: Yeah.

I think what's particularly frightening

about Keyes is how impersonal his killing is.

He's cunning, manipulative, deceitful,

hiding his tracks.

MORGAN: He was a planner. He knew what it would take.

He has a full fantasy in his head.

He was prepared.

This is -- this is an individual who knew what he liked,

knew the tools that he would need to

be able to get the satisfaction he'd like.

MORGAN: I thought that was the ultimate

way he was going to exert control.

He wanted to make sure he could determine how his life

was going to end,

because he wasn't going to end up living in prison for years.

BERRILL: He's trying to negotiate and hold back

information he had, you know, as a bargaining chip.

I think he's a poster boy for -- for a psychopath.

You know, there's -- there's really little question about it.

MAN: Authorities say 49-year-old Bill Currier and his wife,

55-year-old Lorraine Currier,

have been missing from their Vermont home

for nearly a week now.

We're devastated by their disappearance

and in fear for their lives.

MORGAN: You can see it in some of his amusement

when they're frustrated -- he's actually just enjoying it.

That's what makes him scary, I think.

He is saying, "We're operating on two different

"principles here. You're operating on

the principle that how people feel matters."

He's saying, "I'm not that kind of an animal."

BERRILL: When you go into the woods with a gun,

you know, you don't give much thought to what

the deer might be thinking or -- or the rabbit.

And that's how he's looking at these people.

TUSSEY: Israel Keyes used his own manipulative

tendencies actually to make

the husband think that he actually cared.

♪♪

He, you know, had these plans for how that would play out,

including, it sounds like, having the husband witness

some of the torture that he was going to impose upon the wife.

BERRILL: He likes having power.

That's what a lot of psychopaths are about anyway.

It's all about power,

asserting one's self as the arbiter of life and death.

♪♪

They're just objects. They are toys

for his mind to complete a fantasy that he's planned.

All of those human appeals, they make no difference.

People sometimes think, okay,

a serial killer doesn't have feelings.

Oh, they have emotions, they have feelings.

You'll see the emotions when

they realize someone is thwarting them,

and then you see this explosion of rage.

I don't think he'd intended to shoot him

so quickly, because he wanted to take him

upstairs and follow the play, right?

But he's thrown off his plan

by an intense emotional frustration.

♪♪

MORGAN: He is truly deriving pleasure

from the distress of another person.

He's anticipating the horrified response by

someone else, and I think finds that exciting.

This is what makes him

a very different and very dangerous individual.

MAN: On Sunday morning, serial killer Israel Keyes

was found dead at the Anchorage

Correctional Complex.

Federal inmate Israel Keyes was found dead

in his jail cell of an apparent suicide.

Now these potential victims will never know,

their families will never have closure.

And by committing suicide, he says to the world,

"I'm in control even to the last second."

BERRILL: He checks all the boxes, his venom,

his contempt for other people,

uh, the shallowness of his emotions, his grandiosity,

lack of empathy, sadism.

All of these things.

Keyes is the real McCoy.

If, you know, you were to

paint a picture of a genuine psychopath,

I think Keyes fits the bill entirely.
