Without making a sound,

Keyes jumped the railing

Keyes was attempting to escape

or if he was lunging
for a particular person.

KAYLEE:
I was very shook up.

REPORTER: James Koenig,
Samantha's father,

outside the courtroom.

The marshals are investigating
how Israel Keyes

managed to decouple
the irons before leaping

over the railing.

How he got out of them
remains a mystery.

BELL: So Israel,
he had several hours

sitting in the basement
of the courthouse,

waiting to go to court.

And the leg shackles,
just like handcuffs,

are connected with a chain.

He was able to determine one
of the chains was really loose,

and he just sat there for hours
and wiggled that piece of metal

until it broke free
from the leg iron.

Then he took
a piece of cellophane

that he had his
sandwich wrapped in

and made a string out of it.

That cellophane would break
so that his legs would go

instead of 16 inches.

The next day,
I interviewed Israel.

BELL: I said, seriously,
did you really

think you were gonna escape?

a 1% chance of escaping,

what did I have to lose?

I guess he had an escape plan

CALLAHAN:
In early 2012,

Keyes takes two separate trips
to Texas.

The first is hours
after k*lling Samantha,

taking his family on a cruise
out of New Orleans.

- When they returned
from the cruise,

Israel's girlfriend flew
back to Anchorage,

and Israel
and his daughter drove

to the Dallas-Fort Worth area
to visit his mother, Heidi.

is after he's traveled

through the Southwest,
and then Keyes is arrested

on his second trip to Texas.

ROSE: It was very possible
things had happened in Texas.

In the search
of the Ford Focus,

we found three rolls of money

in the driver's door
of the car.

They were musty and appeared
to have dye on them.

ROSE:
The rangers suspected

it was to do with
narcotics trafficking.

A bell went off in my head
that this could have

something to do with
the bank robbery.

- So I put out another
special bulletin

about unsolved bank robberies

during the time period
that Israel was in Texas.

I got a call from
a task force officer

in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

And he said there was
a robbery in Azle, Texas,

on February the 16th.

The bank robbery suspect was
wearing a white hard hat.

He had long,
darkish-colored hair

coming out from the bottom
of the hard hat.

I immediately knew that
that was Israel Keyes.

Just the stature of him

and the g*n
that he was holding

appeared identical
to a g*n that

we seized from his vehicle,
that jacket he was wearing.

of his trip to Texas

was worrisome in that
he was describing

the escalation crimes
to a much higher degree.

ROSE: Heidi had told us
that Israel had disappeared

for two or three days,
and his daughter stayed

at his mother's house,

to reach him by text message
or by telephone.

From February 14
to February 16,

he was off the grid.

- Remember, he did say that
he was out of control too--

during this trip especially.

He put 2,847 miles
on his vehicle.

had gone missing in Texas

it was not going to be

I drove to the jail.

I met Jolene,

I saw him facing away from us,
laying on the mattress.

There was a river of blood
from his bed.

- He had attempted to commit
suicide in multiple ways.

He had cut his wrists
very deeply with a razor.

He had also fashioned a noose
or like a--

something around his neck
with his pillowcase.

BELL:
Put the loop around his foot

and pushed down
on his leg to create

the force around his neck
to strangle himself.

GOEDEN: Keyes was able
to get a razor to shave.

He had a small silver
piece of, like, tinfoil

that he was able to put back
in the razor to make it

look like the blade was there.

And that's
what was handed back

to the correctional officers.

BELL: I was extremely upset
and wondering how

something like that
had happened,

and I was upset with

the Department
of Corrections first

and then, obviously, Israel.

- I hate the fact that

Keyes had his final word
in his suicide.

That was under his control,
not ours.

- Federal inmate Israel Keyes
was found dead

in his jail cell
of an apparent suicide.

We don't have
a federal prison here.

So we pay the state Department
of Corrections to house them.

First of all, you know,
they're under custody.

Federal prisoners
should not be able to harm

anybody else or themselves.

It puts an end to both justice
for the families

we already knew about
and justice for people

that we knew had been
m*rder*d by this guy.

And it's just--you know,
it's a very abrupt--

you know, guys, we're done.

BELL: Knowing what happened
after this date,

now I was listening to it
with an ear of,

did he say things
that would have told us

that he was gonna k*ll himself

and that there wasn't gonna be
another interview?

In hindsight, I felt,
after transporting him

back to the jail after this
and talking about what we were

gonna talk about
on the next interview,

he gave that weird--
he said, "Yeah, sure."

And then he gave his--
his weird chuckle,

which now makes me think
maybe he had a plan,

knowing he knew he wasn't gonna
be at the next interview.

- It just felt like
a punch in the gut.

REPORTER: Israel Keyes' family
stepped out of their van

and filed
into the funeral home

before the service today.

His mother, four sisters,
and their husbands attended.

Keyes' six other siblings

and former Colville neighbors
never made it.

- I would say a lot of people
were glad he was dead.

They think
that's what he deserved.

But there is some recognition

that there's a lot
of information

he took with him.

KAYLEE: We'll start

So you have the bill.

So I don't know

That's the latest one.

this idea for this bill

with better lighting,
better security,

alarm system

- Always, always silent alarms,
training,

and then not working alone.

We would call it the
Samantha Koenig Safety Act.

It comes down to we want

what happened to Samantha
