ANCHORAGE, Alaska — U.S. Marshals announced on Monday afternoon, Israel Keyes, the person of interest in the abduction of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, arrived in Anchorage.
Rochelle Liedike, a spokesperson for the Alaska office of the USMS, said Keyes was transported from a federal facilty in Beaumount, Texas on Friday and was booked at the Anchorage Correctional Complex on Monday afternoon.
Keyes, 34, is facing a fraud charge that Anchorage police say is connected to the Koenig case.
On Sunday, the FBI and the Anchorage Police Department Homicide Detectives released more photos asking the public for any information related to the abduction, including pictures of a truck used in his construction business.
On March 13, Keyes was arrested in Lufkin, Texas by local law-enforcement authorities in conjunction with the Anchorage Police Department and the FBI. APD Sgt. Slawomir Markiewicz, the head of the department's homicide unit, told Channel 2 that investigators believed Keyes was "the main figure" in Koenig's abduction.
Anyone with information regarding Samantha Koenig's disappearance, Israel Keyes or his white Chevy truck is requested to call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
