Mary Rook, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) for the state of Alaska, announced today the release
of the writings found in Israel Keyes’ jail cell at the time of his
suicide on December 2, 2012. The writings, a combination of pencil and
ink on yellow legal pad, were discovered beneath Keyes’ body, illegible
and covered in blood. Because of their initial condition, the writings
were sent to the FBI Laboratory in Virginia for processing. The FBI
Laboratory was able to restore the notes to a condition that allowed for
their review and analysis. The FBI concluded there was no hidden code
or message in the writings. Further, it was determined that the writings
do not offer any investigative clues or leads as to the identity of
other possible victims. The FBI does not offer any commentary as to the
meaning of these writings.
