Less than an hour later, Samantha's boyfriend arrives, but Samantha is nowhere to be found. In the weeks that follow, Samantha's father, James, leads the search to find his daughter, but what he uncovers is a sinister plot. Now it is up to James to help put a stop to one of America's most disturbing serial killers and get justice for his daughter. - Credits: Written, directed & edited by Justin Chalifoux Researched by Amanda Hein Voiceover by Will Akana Produced by Salim Sader - - - Sources: Documentaries: “Ain't She Purty”, Wild Crime: Eleven Skulls, 2024 (ABC News/Hulu) “You’ve got your monster”, Wild Crime: Eleven Skulls, 2024 (ABC News/Hulu) “Because they’re mine”, Wild Crime: Eleven Skulls, 2024 (ABC News/Hulu) “Mask of sanity”, Wild Crime: Eleven Skulls, 2024 (ABC News/Hulu) 48 Hours: Tracking the Murders of Israel Keyes, 2020 (CBS Broadcasting Inc.) “The Cross Country Killer: He Could Make People Disappear” - Part 1 & 2, Very Scary People, 2022 (Investigation Discovery) Method of a Serial Killer, 2018 (Glass Entertainment Group/ Oxygen Network) News clips: Anchorage Police Department released to Anchorage Daily News ABC Alaska Fox News CBS News KHQ Local News The Star Ledger Alaska Public Media CBS 11 News NBC 5 Youtube: Viktoria Evans Sotos DoWhit Yourself Podcast: “The Israel Keyes Investigation” True Crime Bullsh**, 2018 (Studio BOTH/AND).
