In 2009, Maitrise Richardson was released from the Malibu, Los Hills Sheriff Station, and she never made it home.

[00:00:07]

Nearly a year later, Maitrise's remains were found in a Canyon, 6 miles from the station.

[00:00:13]

Her death is Malibu's greatest unsolved mystery.

[00:00:16]

I'm Dana Goodier in Los Hills, Dark Canyon.

The following contains material that isn't suitable for all audiences. The story you're about to hear is part of an active and ongoing investigation. If you have information to share, reach out to your local FBI field office or visit tips. Fbi. Gov. there's a lot of names on that computer. Right. But we're talking about this. We told him we'd do this. We'd come back and try to get the information we need without going over to try to get the information. We're just trying to hold up our end of the bar.If you're referring to the New York trip, I don't know what you mean by going over because there wasn't anybody with me on that.Okay, let's just cut. I just want to come over here with a clear picture. Are you responsible possible for her death?No.Do you know anything about her disappearance?No.Why is her enabling your computer? I don't know.Probably because I looked it up.But just explain so we're not sitting here wondering.No, I'm not going to talk about what's on the computer. I don't know what you want me to talk about.In terms of this, they're going to start asking questions. It's basically what it comes down to. With Deborah, New Jersey FBI is asking questions, basically, because it fits. It fits, the date fits, the place fits, a number of things fit, and the fact that she's on your computer. So hypothetically, if this were a victim, we're just asking for, are they on the right track? Are they not on the right track?No, I didn't kill her.But then, 10 minutes later, in that same interrogation- There's something more to the story.Just so I'm clear, there's something more to the story of Deborah that you just don't want to tell us now.I just don't want to talk about it.But I'm right about Yeah.In a short space of time, Keyes says he didn't do it. Then, yeah, maybe they're onto something. What's going on here? Well, remember what Mary Ellen O'Tool said back in episode 2 about serial killers always lying?The lying allows them to control the conversation.It allows them to control the situation, and it allows them to be very dominant. And what's so interesting is a lot of offenders will lie to you when you're in an interview room, and a A psychopath will lie about everything and even things that they don't have to lie about.It's pathological.It's not just your typical line, it's at the pathological level.So whatever Israel is trying to do here, the fact of the matter is he killed Deborah Feldman on April eighth or April ninth of 2009, buried her remains somewhere around the shores of Tupper Lake, robbed the bank there the next day, and then buried the kill kit that he would use years later on Bill and Lorraine Currier.We now know all of our confirmed victims, and with hearing about his time in Neah Bay, have a better sense of what else he may have done in those earlier years.Four confirmed victims, Bill, Lorraine, Samantha, Deborah, and by our count, four more probable victims in Washington State. That's eight, but there are more.Next time on Deviant. It turns out that there's a pretty good chance that Samantha wasn't the final victim of Israel Keyes. You haven't yet heard the full story about his time in Texas.I was thinking about taking someone to... I was looking for an abandoned house, and I was looking for out-of-the-way ATMs. I was going to grab somebody from an ATM and take them to the house. But there were a lot of cops in Texas, so I guess I chicked it out a little bit on that.But it turns out that may be a lie, too. Until next time, thanks for listening.

[00:30:55]

Okay, let's just cut. I just want to come over here with a clear picture. Are you responsible possible for her death?

[00:31:02]

No.

[00:31:03]

Do you know anything about her disappearance?

[00:31:05]

No.

[00:31:07]

Why is her enabling your computer? I don't know.

[00:31:10]

Probably because I looked it up.

[00:31:11]

But just explain so we're not sitting here wondering.

[00:31:13]

Just so I'm clear, there's something more to the story of Deborah that you just don't want to tell us now.

[00:31:56]

I just don't want to talk about it.
