The Final Keyes Interview

On November 29, 2012, Keyes gave what would be his final FBI interview. It is one of his most revealing, both in his candor about his crimes and in his tells and contradictions. In this interview, Keyes discusses Crescent Lake, four Washington victims, Tupper Lake, blood found on his boat, knives he used in murders, maps found in his Constable house, and more. There are also some very interesting conversations surrounding items found at the Constable house, and further evidence that there was a New Hampshire cache trip after the Curriers.SPONSORS:HelloFresh: Go to HelloFresh.com/tcbs10fm to get 10 free meals + a FREE Zwilling Knife (a $144.99 value) on your third box.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-bullsh-the-israel-keyes-investigation--3588169/support.

The team returns to Texas to look at a case, which Jordan has been following for four years, that involves a suspicious death, an arson, and an abandoned house.
