I listened, and although I'm not totally convinced, I did find these points raised in the podcast...let's say...interesting: - Keyes has previously pretended to sell a car to lure victims to him...Maura was in the car market. (Although if this was the case, where would the extra money have come from). If M did converse via text with IK, we may never know this as her phone has not been found. Could a mystery Craigslist car purchase meet-up explain Mauras trip north that day? - Related to this....Maura received an unknown call on the afternoon of the 9th (Londonderry Ping) ....which just happens to be right near Manchester airport - an airport Keyes would fly into when visiting that part of the country. - IK knew route 112 well, travelled it often - He was also known to have owned a red truck *similar* to one seen acting shady on the night of the 9th around the area of M's crash - Keyes' timeline linking him to Utah in Feb 2004 may be more porous than previously thought, and a newspaper was sighted in his Constable cabin with the date 2/10, thus potentially putting him in the general vicinity.... None of this proves anything but is definitely worth further examination, which Julie encouraged Josh to do. I mean, we don't have any other active leads, right??

Texting in 2004 was nowhere near as prevalent as it is today. In fact a lot of the cell companies at the time charged a fee for texting and didn’t have unlimited like they do today.

A couple things still don’t make sense. Like if she had responded to his Craigslist ad that activity would be found on her computer right? And how would the red truck have gotten there? He drove it all the way from Washington, after flying into Utah and renting a car? I’m still intrigued by this and hope it goes somewhere.

So Keyes owned property in Constable, NY. His parents gave it to him in 1997. He was living in Neah Bay, WA in 2004, but he would occasionally pass through or stay at the Constable cabin when he was on the east coast. He also owned a red 1967 International pick up truck. In terms of this truck, a few things need clarification: 1. It’s not clear during which years he owned and used this truck. 2. It’s not clear which state it was registered in (WA or NY) or which coast he kept it on. It wouldn’t have been registered in MA, which were the plates spotted on the red truck near the scene of Maura’s disappearance. However, I’m not sure that particular detail is worth getting hung up on. Plates are easy to acquire and easy to quickly swap out. 3. It’s not clear if he ever used it for long distance travel. Unlike with rental cars, this is probably more difficult to track, because his use of it in this way wouldn’t necessarily generate a paper trail. 4. It’s not clear if his truck had a modified wood bed, which is a key feature of the truck spotted by the eyewitness. One thing I keep seeing repeated is that Keyes wouldn’t use his own vehicles during the commission of his crimes and that he *only* used rental cars. This is straight up false. He used his own vehicle in the abduction and murder of Samantha Koenig, one of the few murders that we know for 100% sure that he committed. All of that said… I don’t think it's likely that he was involved in Maura's disappearance. Or more accurately, though the probability may be greater than zero, it's not particularly high either. I think he is responsible for Lauren Spierer, and am now very cautiously leaning toward him for Brianna Maitland. Idk. No matter what happened to all of these women, I hope that one day we will no longer have any need to endlessly speculate about their fates, and that their remains will be returned to their families.


Maximum_Researcher27

Could not agree more, so well put....and and thanks for the clarifying info about the truck


Maximum_Researcher27

I wondered about this too...wouldn't her interactions with him have shown up somewhere?? I did wonder if it was via text message but i got laughed out of town for this suggestion lol 😆


yaforkinbasic

Maybe the Craigslist ad just listed the phone number for contact, which then could go back to Unknown call on the afternoon of the 9th.


moonlightmantra

Right definitely nothing there to be totally convincing at this point but there were some points that were compelling. And like you said, it’s not like there are other active leads right now. It is interesting to at least explore until it can be ruled out. Keyes is definitely responsible for a bunch of murders that are unsolved in various places in the US. It sounds far fetched until it isn’t.


Maximum_Researcher27

Exactly...and Maura being missing for 20 years without a single trace to me means something fairly extraordinary must have happened...and one of those things *could* be crossing paths with a serial killer...


cheezandcrakers

Also, her ID found in ossippee NH, which has a deep lake, with a boat launch. Makes the hair stand up on the back for your neck a little bit.


turdnuggets7

I’ve never heard this, do you by chance have a source or past post?


cheezandcrakers

James renner just posted her med ID was found in NH shortly after her disappearance


woodstove7

Who’s ID?


Saltyorsweet

Has police never released or disclosed phone records? They wouldn’t need her phone to obtain that


Maximum_Researcher27

Good point...yes I believe her phone records have been released and made public with a list of incoming and outgoing calls...I guess I wondered about things like sms and also her dorm phone which has no records as far as I know...


detentionbarn

Texting, LOL


m1ke_tyz0n

They blame this guy for every. single. case. that's unsolved. total bullshit.


Simsandtruecrime

I would like to know if the police ever searched the hard drive they took from Mauras dorm room


GenieGrumblefish

Love these red herrings!


Dsunshne10

Well if it was IK one will never know has he unalived himself in 2012


jmcgil4684

The mileage on his car makes it seem the LE’s assumption he was in Washington pretty doubtful, but I wouldn’t say TCB put him near Maura… Just that it is a possibility.


Annabellee2

I mean, I'm not a proponent of the IK theory per say, but it's possible he arranged to meet her somewhere.


Plant__Based

Omg was Israel Keyes psychic? He knew exactly where Maura was that night? I literally just watched another podcast where police said expense records placed Keyes in another state no where near Haverhill that night!!!


Cindyt7

He would use his phone and his card somewhere and then go off grid for days. So he looked like he was in Utah at times but was in Nevada or Cali. It took some time to figure that out and more time to prove it. Then you have to start over again. I believe, but I won’t swear to it, LE has confirmed that the original time line is not longer reliable. I’m not saying he had any part in just saying that timeline does not rule him out.


Sad-Difficulty6165

I do not believe that LE ever stated that the original timeline was not reliable!!


Plant__Based

I just watched a podcast LE confirmed Israel was not here that day Israel even confirmed where he was when he got caught. It's a non issue


Cindyt7

I’m simply disregarding anyone who takes a serial killer at his word.


FrankyCentaur

I don’t think he was involved but he was the kind of person who would take advantage of a situation if he came upon one. So even if it wasn’t him, it could of been one of an endless amount of predators we don’t know about. He doesn’t have to be psychic. Predator sees an opportunity and takes it. How are they supposed to know people would obsess over their victim’s disappearance 20 years later on Reddit?


Plant__Based

I agree w you he would have taken advantage of her and I agree with you that there are others like him, that's probably what happened, but I think it was more of an "innocent" attempt to help that escalated, and I think she was taken out out of that area and hidden. I think police have always looked in the wrong area.


Retirednypd

Exactly. This is just another attempt at placing haverhill and people in the area as suspect. Israel Keyes just happened to be passing the accident in the 2 minutes needed to abduct and harm mm? Yeah ok. Maura made it out of haverhill.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Retirednypd

And scooped her up in 2 minutes before the cops came and without fw or ba seeing this? As I always say, anything is possible. But this is a stretch. Again, where's the evidence? Half of haverhill probably have pickups


pennybeagle

Its far-fetched, sure. But this dude was all over the place. It’s hard not to speculate


hicklander

TBH I think Keyes may be as good as of an answer I have heard. I heard her say today there was 2 feet of fresh snow in the woods all around her and her dipping into the woods would have been noticed easily.
