On August 24, 2012, inside a federal interrogation room in Anchorage, Alaska, the chilling truth about the disappearance of Bill and Lorraine Currier emerges. Israel Keyes, a notorious serial killer, confesses to the brutal abduction and murder of the Vermont couple, unraveling a mystery that had haunted investigators for over a year. The Curriers vanished from their Essex home in June 2011, leaving behind a puzzling crime scene devoid of any trace of their bodies.
Keyes, already in custody for the murder of Samantha Koenig, methodically recounts the horror he unleashed. He describes breaking into the Curriers’ home, forcing them into a car, and driving them to a secluded, abandoned farmhouse. There, he executes Bill with cold precision before turning his depraved attention to Lorraine, whom he sexually assaults and strangles. This confession provides the breakthrough authorities desperately needed, shedding light on the breadth of Keyes’s cross-country killing spree.
The revelation not only solves the Currier case but also exposes the terrifying extent of Keyes’s crimes, leaving a nation grappling with the realization of a serial killer’s reach. The investigation into his other potential victims continues, as authorities piece together the dark legacy of his confessions.
