Markiewicz would not comment on whether police believe Keyes abducted Koenig or what led the authorities to him.

Just after Keyes was arrested, police served a search warrant at a house near Clay Products Drive and Spurr Lane, in Anchorage's Turnagain neighborhood. Markiewicz said Keyes -- a construction company owner believed to be its sole employee -- lived at the house recently. Detectives have served nearly 40 search warrants in Anchorage at residences and to get phone records, Markiewicz said.

On a website for his business, Keyes lists his work history in construction. He says that he worked in Washington from 1995 to 1997. After that, the site says he served in the Army for three years, stationed at Fort Lewis in Washington, Fort Hood in Texas and in Egypt before he was discharged in 2000. From 2001 to 2007, he worked for the Makah Tribal Council in Neah Bay, Wash. He moved to Alaska and started his business in 2007, his website says.

I read about the arrest in Lufkin last night, but they only said it was related to an out of state kidnapping.  I wondered then if it would end up being a case I knew about!  I didn't put it together with this until I just saw the picture of the arrest from the fb link a few minutes ago. 

I had so many windows open my computer was moving at a crawl...so by the time I got ready to post MuffyBee had already posted three articles about it!   

I hope they find her safe and soon!

Texas Mom, you must have been surprised after reading about an arrest in Lufkin last night related to an out of state kidnapping, to find out today it's Samantha Koenig's case.  I posted a few articles, because they each have some different information contained within.  I didn't mean to robo post    I hope Samantha can be found safe and soon too!

Yes, I was surprised MuffyBee.  It was really a funny feeling because of that thought that I'd had when I read about the arrest...  No case in particular came to mind, and I never would have imagined it would have been related to Samantha.  I haven't followed very closely but had never read that a suspect may be in Texas, if it was ever mentioned.

I didn't consider your posts robo posting at all!  All of the information was interesting and you're just one fast Bee!

Texas Arrest Made in Samantha Koenig Case

U.S. attorneys also ask in the documents that Keyes be held without bail, because of both escape risk and "a serious risk that the defendant will obstruct or attempt to obstruct justice, or threaten, injure, or intimidate or attempt to threaten, injure or intimidate, a prospective witness or juror."

In a live interview with Channel 2's Mike Ross on the 5:00 Report, APD detective Sgt. Slawomir Markiewicz said Keyes had a central role in the case.

"We believe that he is the person that -- that was the main figure in the abduction and he's the main person of interest," Markiewicz said. "We can't go into details on his role and say what happened; what we can say is that his arrest is related to the case."

While Markiewicz emphasized the tentative nature of the investigation, he said police think Keyes was personally involved in Koenig's abduction.

They sound pretty confident that they've got their guy.

LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) -

A man arrested Tuesday at the Lufkin Cotton Patch parking lot has been connected to an Alaska abduction, according to Anchorage Police.

According to a press release, Anchorage Police have had two detectives in Texas for several days as they investigated the abduction of Samantha Koenig, 18.

Police say Tuesday's arrest of Israel Keyes is directly connected to that abduction, but Koenig is still missing.

"In the long run our goal is the same that's to find Samantha and to bring her home," said James Koenig, Samantha's father.

Keyes is being held in a federal facility in Beaumont. The federal arrest warrant is sealed, so details related to the charges will not be released.

Authorities still need help in finding Koenig. Anyone who has been in contact with Keyes or his business, Keyes Construction, since Jan. 1 should call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Texas arrest linked to disappearance of Samantha Koenig

Just after Keyes was arrested, police served a search warrant at a house in Anchorage's Turnagain neighborhood. Markiewicz said Keyes resides at the house on Spurr Lane, a narrow dead-end street off of Clay Products Drive.

Next-door neighbors Michele Buwalda and Tom McMillan said Keyes lives there with a woman named Kimberly Anderson, who is also listed as the owner of the house in city property records. A daughter they estimated was 12 or 13 lives with the couple at least some of the time, they said.

Markiewicz said Anderson is not a suspect or person of interest in the case.

Since Keyes and Anderson moved in a few years ago, the couple made many improvements to what is one of the more modest homes on the street, Buwalda and McMillan said. Keyes and Anderson were quiet and polite. They threw a couple of small parties each year, the neighbors said.

"I would be pretty surprised if he's involved with it," McMillan said.

Keyes spent a lot of time running saws and other equipment in the yard for his construction business, occasionally running afoul of neighbors because of late evening noise, they said.

Neighbors said that they noticed an unmarked police car idling for hours on Monday at an intersection a block away. Tuesday morning police arrived in unmarked cars, neighbors said. Wearing SWAT gear and carrying rifles, they swarmed the blue house. They took pictures and seemed to be collecting evidence. Later on that day, police followed Anderson's car as she pulled into the driveway, neighbors said. She left with them. Her car and Keyes' truck were towed. She returned the next day by cab. A crime scene van stayed parked outside the house until late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, neighbors said.

"We certainly want to find out what projects he did. Whether he had access to other residences, whether he had keys to other houses. Any information like that," Markiewicz said.

Koenig's fate remains unknown and the investigators continue to treat her disappearance as a highly sensitive abduction case, Markiewicz said.

"We investigated as if she's alive. We haven't found her. We don't know what happened with her. We're concerned. We don't know if she's alive," Markiewicz said. "We have investigated this from the beginning as an abduction. Nothing has changed with that. We are very concerned that she hasn't been seen for six weeks."

"The truth is, we don't know her whereabouts ... and we don't know what's happened with her since she was abducted," he said.

Arrest made in case of missing Alaska barista Samantha Koenig, police say


(CBS/AP) ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Authorities said a man who owns a construction company in Anchorage has been arrested in Texas on charges related to the disappearance of an 18-year-old barista.

According to police, 34-year-old Israel Keyes was arrested this week in the disappearance of Samantha Koenig. He was described in a statement issued by police Thursday as "a person of interest" in Koenig's disappearance.

"He's the only person we charged and the only person of interest. The biggest thing at this time is that we haven't found Samantha Koenig and we don't know her whereabouts," Detective Slawomir Markiewicz told the Anchorage Daily News.

This arrest is the only public break Koenig's case. The arrest warrant remains sealed and police have revealed few details in the incident. On Feb. 1,  Koenig was last seen on surveillance tape being led away against her will by a man with a weapon at about 8 p.m. from the coffee shack where she worked.

 ::snipping2::

Police spokeswoman Anita Shell confirmed that few details would be immediately released.

"Because of the sensitivity of the case, they sealed it so it didn't compromise the case," she told the Associated Press.

Police have not revealed the charges against Keyes but according to the charging document filed in a Texas federal courthouse, Keyes is charged with access device fraud, which in the past has been used to prosecute people who illegally use another person's bank or credit card to steal money.

The police department said the arrest was a combined effort of the Anchorage police, the FBI and Texas authorities.

Shell said investigators want to speak to anyone who had personal contact with Keyes or his business, Keyes Construction.

"They're just wanting to talk to anybody who may have had contact with him in the past to see if there's any links that they can put together," Shell said.

Federal and local law enforcement are now asking for help from the public to find out more information about the self-employed builder.

"As I've said before, I believe this case will be solved. This is a step toward that goal, a big step," Detective Markiewicz said.

I'm wondering if LE might find Samantha is being held at one of the places, or they can find evidenceshe's has been kept there in the past days, or (and I  hope this isn't the case) her remains are in one of the locations where he worked.
