How Keys Selected Matanuska Lake
- Israel Keys used Google Maps and printed maps to systematically pick burial lakes near Anchorage that were deep and accessible without motorboats.
- He favored deep, non-motor lakes like Matanuska to delay discovery and explicitly printed only the lake he used from his computer.
Preferred Water Burial Profile
- Keys preferred water burials without motorboat access and considered rivers only if deep or out of fishing season, linking his MO to specific Alaska lakes and rivers.
- This preference connects him to other unresolved disappearances at similar non-motorized lakes.
Dismemberment Method And Weight Anchors
- Keys dismembered Samantha and transported her in multiple 150-pound-capacity sled loads, bundling parts with bailing wire and triple-bagging them.
- He used salvaged lead fishing weights on cable (cut into sections) as anchors and estimated ~80 pounds deployed at the lake.
