THE STORY:
“I’m like a dog, always barking at a ghost.”
-I Don't Want Your Voice To Move Me, Laura Gibson
In March of 2012, Israel Keyes was pulled over outside of Lufkin, Texas. And in that moment, hundreds of lives would be forever changed. Including mine. At first, I became obsessed with this murder mystery in reverse; we knew who the killer was, but not his victims. I needed to know. I needed closure for those lost I’d never even known.
But over the last three years, the deeper I got into the FBI files and hundreds of missing persons reports, the more compelled I became by the stories surrounding Israel. There was a connectivity between the people in his life, the lives he took, the lives lost all across the country. I started to see the true crime genre so differently. I became haunted by the faces of the missing, and their families, and their stories.
I needed to find the humanity in this story. And so True Crime Bullsh** became as much about finding Israel’s missing victims as it did deconstructing True Crime and sharing the stories of those impacted by it. And how I lost myself in it.
