And tonight a deceased serial killer named Israel Keyes is being investigated for his possible links to Belize and other countries.
Keyes killed himself in December, nine months after his arrest for a killing in Alaska, and after admitting to at least seven other slayings, all in the US. Police have posthumously linked him to three more killings in the states, but says that he travelled to Canada, Mexico and Belize between 2001 and 2008.
An FBI Sattement says, quote, "Keyes traveled internationally and it is unknown if he committed any homicides while outside of the United States." A timeline provided by the FBI shows that on October 6, 205, he rented form Budget Rent A Car in Belize – that's after he flew from California to El Salvador on October third. The timeline shows that he didn't fly back until October 13th.
Our records show that there was one murder in Belize between October 5 and 16th, 2006 – but that one was gang related and it happened on October fifth. Keyes said he robbed banks to finance his travels.
The FBI describes Keyes as a kind of murder addict "who hunted victims in remote locations like parks, campgrounds or hiking trails."
Investigators said he had "a meticulous and organized approach to his crimes," stashing weapons, cash and items used to dispose of bodies in several locations to prepare for future crimes.
