Keyes' last known murder was the kidnapping and
murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig,
a barista
working in
Anchorage, Alaska. Authorities said that Keyes kidnapped her from
her place of employment, stole her debit card and other property, then murdered
her the
following day.
Police stated that Keyes sexually
assaulted Koenig before he murdered her. After Koenig's
death, Keyes
left on a cruise out of New Orleans, leaving Koenig's body in a
shed. When
he returned home, he took
a photograph of her body with a 4-day-old issue of the
Anchorage
Daily News, maintaining the illusion
that she was still alive in his ransom
demand. After demanding
US$30,000 in ransom, Keyes
dismembered Koenig and
disposed of her body in Matanuska Lake north
of Anchorage.
