Let's talk some true crime.

The tal right yesterday, we were able to retrace susan libels last steps leading up to her disappearance I'm going to give that an a minus their captain. We did a pretty darn good job. We also discussed her boyfriend rich in some questionable activities regarding him and his possibility of being maybe a suspect being involved in her disappearance, while not just his actions but the actions of his family as well, mommy and daddy are weird. Now, before we get into other potential suspects, let's get into another case,

it made susie's case, feel like days yahoo and nineteen. Eighty five, thirteen years earlier, a young sunny, albany student named care, and why? son vanished. She was last seen on the same central avenue where the stuarts convenience store was located near colony. Play a shopping mall two point, four miles from the campus karen purchase some clothing at the mall that day, and while she had an appointment at the tanning hut, she was not seen there, so she was scheduled to go tanning. No one says that she ever made it to this appointment. The last known sighting of karen was at seven hundred and twenty p dot m. It is believed that she decided to walk to campus and was abducted near the entrance ramp to I, ninety, according to our friends over the charley project,

strange man was seen in the area, but neither karen nor any of her personal possessions have ever been found and a little freaky piece of information. Karen Wilson lived in the same dorm building as susie the colonial quad dorm karen is still missing. To this day we see a lot of times with college students going missing, go back to the brain schaefer case of it not that far away and not that many years away does joy. The butte go missing as well and with these people they just seem to vanish into thin air, because you have so many questions. It's so easy for us to sit on our computers and link them together. Because there's not a whole lot of details of the why

or how was this person abducted, or why did they go missing in the first place? Right now, let's fast forward to two thousand and thirteen, because police were looking a fifty four year old man named Anthony Collins Collins attempted to abduct to sunny college students at knifepoint. He approach one of these young women at the seedy tee a bus stop on the sunny, albany downtown campus area early in the morning. This would be seven. Fifty five, a m. and he threatened her with a knife to her back another students or what was going on in got involved, somehow distracted, the attacker and this young woman, thankfully, was able to get away. But at that same bus stop about forty.

It's later, this same man attempted a second abduction: hey when the first one doesn't work out. Let's just stick around and find somebody else write a double piece of shit. There you go so he attempted a second abduction. This time, without a knife and anthony collins was identified after police were viewed, surveillance, footage and charged him with second degree attempted kidnapping. According to the times union paper quote police looking into the possibility, however, remote that collins could have been involved in the disappearances of albany students, Suzanne Lyle in nineteen. Ninety eight Karen Wilson way back in nineteen, eighty five, but if

really police said that they had not been able to establish any link whatsoever between collins, who is diagnosed skits a frantic and either of those unsolved cases, more here's the problem, those like we said there are so many young students in a small radius, these predators that are looking for that type of victim. They know where to go, get it's a it's! What you would call kind of a high risk area just because you're round a whole lot of people. You know what, TED Bundy wanted to abduct someone. He went to college campuses. He went to the lake where it was just packed that day it was easy to find a victim amongst a whole big crowd of people, but also what's different, though too is he you go to the suburbs. You have people that are normally on a more set schedule where these students, their schedules, are constantly change

Gene and their whereabouts are constantly changing so by them gone missing. I think. takes a little longer for people to even notice when they're gone now through to other suspects have been mentioned as possibilities in connection with susie's case now to be clear. These names have not been mentioned by law enforcement, rather, both suspects are theoretical ones named in podcast, which have delved into Susie, case? One of these we have already mentioned the upstate unsolved. The other is true crime bullshit, the first of these potential Specks is a guy named John ragged. John Reagan was a forty eight year old son of a prominent in africa, family and waterbury, connecticut, Johns wife, Ruth was a catholic school teacher,

John himself. He was a traveling salesman for a roofing and siding company. John and Ruth were popular and well liked, but in two thousand and four, oh johnny rested after cornering a young female co worker in his parents, empty house. He restrain her and try to sexually assaulted somehow she managed to get away. This was a huge scandal, In the area at the time, because John a pretty regular, do he was a soccer dad, a golf buddy too many people in the area are real, neighborhood type of guy. This was just the tip of the iceberg, Eleven years earlier in nineteen, ninety three, neighbor of John Regan's on working wife and mother named Donna palumbo- was home on Friday night asleep. Her kids were also asleep.

Husband was away on a very rare trip to colorado donna, to find a man straddling her back. He put a pillowcase over her head, and tied nylon stockings over it, covering her mouth and then around her neck and restraining her. Arms and legs. The mayor. war gloves and a mask. He cut off her clothes and he raped her when he was done. He held a gun to her temple and he told her that if she called the police he'd come back and he would kill her. She not recognize his voice when she heard him leave the If I'd woman realised that the phone lines were cut, she tried to call for help. Nothing happened very beat kay the right on she locked the fur,

door and ran to her husband's cousins house, which was near by to call the police this cousin. ran to Donna's house with an axe to guard the children. While she was at his house calling for help Donna went to the hospital that night and, of course they did a rape kit, but dna extracted from it was not matched to any known offenders. Keep in mind again. This is one thousand nine hundred and ninety three and the police. This is this like double sad, this woman is, is violently attacked in her own home. A terrifying humiliating experience and then on top that the police were not so great in this situation assholes very ago. That's what they call not so good, people. They chose not to believe donna. In fact they occur.

her of lying because they're they're questioning you know what is the likelihood that this house turn on the one night that her been was out of town. They suggested that she was having an affair and was trying to cover it up. I suggest, for every male out there that doesn't understand sexual assaults, her or or rape claims to watch. I know it's drama, but you can learn a lot from the show, unbelievable and just the process in which females have to go through to report these assaults and and how many I mean they're, not believed by family members, friends and the system yeah and where my mind goes with this kroupa guys would be you know where their wives, cheating on them, is that why their mind went at me

ITALY, I've. I have no idea. I don't understand why they wouldn't believe a woman who ran to someone else's home to call for help. I mean seems bizarre to not give her the benefit of every doubt possibly harangue also syn when your family members, with an axe yeah to to guard your children, I mean yeah. He clearly believed her, so it was agonizing few years for this victim for donna, as her case stalled, because the police did not seem to exhibit any interest really in person wing it I mean they, they told her. They didn't believer. So I wasn't one now donna she's pretty kick ass right. She file. civil suit claiming The waterbury police department did not do their job good for her on a with a tape of her interview session

with the waterbury police police department, where they accused her of making the whole thing up this. Now that she's taken them to court magically disappears right but jerry believe donna anyway, and she won her suit against the police department. Yet her rape case still sat dorm it with no arrest. This was until John Reagan was arrested in two thousand and four for the assault on his coworker and his dna It was found to be a match to that of the rapist of Donna eleven as early as the news was incredible to everyone, because she and her husband were friends with the radiance close friends. They attended each other's weddings, in fact, John again knew that Donna's husband was going to be out of town, that night

that's why he knew to break into the home sick. Oh so,. Thousand for this John and he was arrested first for the attempted attack on his coworker he's released on twenty five thousand dollars bond, but was again arrested when weeks later, his dna came back to link him. To that. one, ninety three rape. Unfortunately, this at u of limitations, had expired on Donna's rape case. So all john, could be charged with on her case was kidnapping. He pled guilty and was released on three hundred and fifty thousand dollars bail, big, better get better job. I hope he has good income. Somebody was able to make their bail. He spent more in a year awaiting trial and, in the meantime, well

as rack up some more charges in the fall of two thousand and five, he dropped off a roll of film to be developed at a walgreens, the film processor guy. Well, he was a pretty smart dude and he I recognize john reagan from the local news, so he thought I better take an extra look at these photos that John dropped if he's, either a smart guy or he was a sicko himself. Well, I'm going to go with smart, good upstanding citizen, because these not loving shots of family scenes, one that people would expect to see. No. Instead, these were clearly survey. style photos of women going about their. everyday activities who did not know that they were being photographed. oh waterbury police worked to charge john reagan with stocking

but as they were putting together their case, something else happened in two thousand and five John travel back in fourth between waterbury and a property owned by his family in saratoga springs. New york, He was living there and working as a handyman when the following occurred on halloween, a seventy you're old, nationally ranked track star at saratoga springs. High school named linsey ferguson returned her car at the conclusion of the afternoon practice next to the driver side of her vehicle, a van was parked so close that she had to like. You know like to the side and kind squeeze our way in, so that she, enter her vehicle now the incident was, cried in a new york times article, it said saratoga springs, police said she came back to her car after track brand

There was a blue gray van parked. Next to her, she was putting some things in the back seat and she heard the Van's sliding door open a man grabbed her around the torso and mouth and tried to drag her into the van. She was able to get her mouth free and she started screaming for help Lindsey thought for a fleeting moment. You know because its halloween that maybe this was some kind of prank. But obviously very quickly, it became apparent that it was not. She fought, kicking and screaming good for her and attracted the attention of her coaches. They ran over and one of them Coaches confronted this guy, the attacker gets back into his van closely or and now he drives off. Another coach began facing the vehicle calling.

Police on his cell phone as he ran telling them exactly where the van was heading and telling the license plate number at the same time, its one fast guy running after this Van gogh, subtract, coterie, ray. Police pulled over the van and one of the officers is questioning the driver the driver assured the officer that it was all just a misunderstanding, his partner, is snooping around and looking inside the van. At the same time- and this is this guy- this officer finds Did the rear seats of the van I've been removed in the space. In the back, they found a spread out tarp a rope. There was pre tied with slit knots, booze a saw, a shovel photography, equipment, construction tools and a syringe that was kit. They contained a sedative

The man arrested that day driving the van was john Reagan. All he had to get all of his crimes in before he went to jail. Well, the I think the other thing that here, that so scary is its is whatever this guy was up to or whatever he wanted to do. He couldn't stop himself, even though he's already facing charges and, like you said maybe he's so damn addicted to this, or he saw it. Entrenched in these fantasies that he has right. That he's got to if one more time before they put him behind bars right. This is why this type of crime there should be no bail, because it's you know that addiction or drive I mean we've seen it. We saw it with Bundy. We saw a guy that seemed to be very calculated turn into a wild animal when he was on the on the run now also

found in the van were photos of other young women, including the young coworker, that John had assaulted and connecticut hunting, so it turned out that there was proof that John had not seized linz, and a simple crime of opportunity. He had been stalking her. He was found to have looked her. This is the young track student or track star. He had had photographs her, and it was found that he had looked her up on his computer and taking pictures of her beforehand. He a targeted and it had been following her for an unknown amount of time. John Reagan was not able to get bail. This time there you go captain, he was charged in saratoga county with attempted kidnapping, while in saratoga springs jail. He tried to commit suicide By attempting to hang himself, I wish you would have been better tat what they said. This had the guards help amount to a,

Are you trying to do in their ok note? I did not this way get get this man some better sheets. He was true Further to the central new york psychiatric center, near utica to await trial? Meanwhile, his connected family member, he comes from a good family, successful family. They hire a powerful hartford lawyer to represent him Now after reagan was arrested in two thousand five a fifty year, woman came forward and reported that at memorial day, picnic way back in nineteen. Eighty one reagan restrain her his vehicle in an alleyway and assaulted. Her in his vehicle She said she knew reagan. She knew his father his father was her dentist. She

said that she never reported the incident, because she was embarrassed in may of two thousand and six john reagan. Pled guilty to second degree attempted kidnapping of Lindsay fergus He was sentenced to twelve years in prison in new york state. In october of that same year, member. This guy's get charged with all kinds of stuff he's in court again this time in connecticut on the kidnapping and unlawful restraint and stocking charges, he was not required to admit his guilt at this trial, but he did acknowledged that the prosecutors had enough evidence for a conviction. The old, no contest plea, I'm guessing the agreed upon sentence in connecticut was for fifteen years to be served concurrently with the new york term.

after John reagan's arrest in two thousand and five for the attempted abduction of Lindsay ferguson investigators in connecticut, new york and massachusetts, as well as the f b, I started digging into reagan to see if they could link him to any other crimes. Two of these were the unsolved murders of Mildred Alvarado and karen everitt this. These are sex workers who were stray go to death in harlington in nineteen eighty eight and one thousand nine hundred and eighty nine. Both of these victims known to police to work in an area that was one mile from reagan's house, but investigators suspect reagan, operated on a much wider scope too. In interstate traveling salesmen, remember he's a traveling salesman. This for company called abc supply well

He had access to a wide range of locations where he could have committed rapes and or murders are now. That was a long tangent. So what does this p? O s, with the captain likes to say piece of shit John. and have to do with Suzanne Lyle, when he was arrested and sarah toga springs the lives very smart parents, ass the police to revisit susie's case to see if he could be responsible to see. If anything ties him to Susie's case. There are some, let's say, circumstantial evidence. Let's go through some of this Reagan's family property in saratoga springs the town where he tried to abduct Lindsay ferguson the track star. was near the sunny albany campus. It was roughly a thirty mile drive

He had mentioned to her coworker that she thought she was being stalked and she know who the guy was, Remember reagan was known to stalk and photograph his eventual victims, yeah. What say about predators? If you gonna go fish, you go to the pond with most fish. That's right so he could have spotted susie at the mall or spotted her walking from the boss or at the bus stop at any time. In fixated on, her susie told her co worker that, while she didn't know who the guy was, she was not afraid of him. This is all very weird, but again yeah. They meant to me soccer dad right in. Said earlier, I mean John Reagan was known to be. I was a fool the guy was well liked by the people that didn't know what he was really up to. He was an outgoing dude and if she ever made icon

with them? He might have smiled, and that might have been just enough where it's like okay, this guy's a little strange, but not that worried about it. Well, maybe that's how he locked in honor right, maybe he came in, act with her. Maybe he spoke to her at the store where she worked at the mall and then did secretly following her and observing her routines and decided to snatch her after she got off the bus. That night too, did you say where they found the sex workers at, and I did not, but they were known to work. within a mile of his home. I I know that they really have anything other than that linking him to those possible cases where it sounds to me, like both those cases, went cold, very quickly, and they didn't have a whole lot in the way of leads, but we also see a pattern of him not being able to control these urges exactly. This is something he

These urges are in control of him, the tooth, in a five attempted abduction of lindsey ferguson, looks very much like the work of a seasoned, doctor or maybe even a seasoned killer. The materials I mean think about the materials found in his van and the amount of preparation that he had to go to a lot of that doesn't seem to indicate that this was his first time. In fact, we know that it wasn't he's broken into somebody else's home, raped her. we're home and now he's very well prepared to kidnap assault and do whatever else he decides, to do? Should he get that poor girl and who is van so arrogant that he believes he can get away with. It, doesn't matter who it doesn't matter, even even if you know him, even if he's a close friend of yours and some say that

He was known to spend time in the area near the campus, where suzanne disappeared now terrifying. Recent development John Reagan, remember: he got concurrent sentences is not a good thing for us buddy. He was released from prison in october, two thousand and nineteen three year Can anybody explain to me why there's a statue of limitations on rape charges. I don't believe that there is today. I believe, the has changed. I'd have to look that up in my very state by state, but I think that that is something this aged in the late nine.

I don't have that information right in front of me, especially like in this case we have definitive evidence that he's guilty of this right. So I I would not. I just don't understand to make any sense. He is subject to post release supervision until the year twenty, twenty four he is, living in the saratoga springs area of massachusetts and work, as a skydiving instructor. So, ah Female listeners in that area should be particularly careful yeah when you're a skydiving instructor, your strapped to the persons back. So we have this creep, o strapped to your back. What awaited

the the The. around back, fears may talk hands in the air. My friends, the other possible suspect in a stranger abduction of Susie Lyle, is serial killer. Israel key

These keys has taken on a reputation of almost mythical proportions. He is, as we like to say, the catch all killer, herman, Webster budget, a h, h, homes in the end wayne Edwards fit this cat, or as well, he is just the newest amongst these three, where, if this guy, I was alive and out at the time and we have an unsolved murder. This is somebody you should look at, so I find that to be well really just stupid. To be honest with you, I don't follow the old suspect, zero theory way of thinking very much but keys is an interesting possibility in this scenario. Alright, so was that well before we for a long. I do want to point out the keys. Is it's been floated

there that he is a suspect by the followers of such cases as jennifer, cassie, Russell and lederman and Maura murray, all cases which we have cover. Now this because Israel was a notoriously cunning, devious killer, who left very little to no trace of his crimes, likely that he's responsible for who. how many murders, but in the of Susie lyle? There are some actual links between the two. They could point. Israel, Keyes being involved now to say that is. keys was a methodical and calculating killer is like saying that albert einstein was a bright guy. Some of you have heard of the kill kits the keys buried around the country and preparation for crimes he would commit much later. Sometimes he would fly to cities across the. U s then rent,

car and drive a thousand miles to find a victim to kill, he would select victims. This suited him at random the ultimate crimes of opportunity. As a result, his crimes are almost impossible to pin down with in regards to Susie Lyle. Well, when keys was arrest The f b I spent months interrogating keys. There are over forty hours of videotaped interviews with keys, many of which are avail. well for viewing on the fbi's website now to say He was interrogated, isn't really there I word the fbi agents sucked up he's in every manner. Bringing him treats likes again.

cars and beggars and doing him favours its gross, but it worked kind of keys only told them just as much as he wanted, and then he committed suicide in his cell in two thousand and twelve leaving investigators to try to piece together the rest. But here is what we know about keys. He is believed to have killed approximately eleven people again. No one really knows for sure how many victims he really had he claims is first, doctrine was a ninety. Ninety seven, when he kidnapped and raped a teenage girl who was white water rafting on the de shoots river and organ Israel,

in her, go and said later that he had lost his nerve about killing her. This is believed to have been his first actual attempt to carry out his murderous fantasies. He told the f b I that he had been quote to different people for fourteen years. The experts, who have spent years studying Israel, agree that it is very likely that this means his first successful murder was one thousand eight hundred and ninety eight. This is also the year that Suzy, Lyle vanished. He claims I have successfully killed anyone, though, for a few years after the Deschutes river abduction,. No one really seems to believe this: Israel keys own property and constable new york. This was a ten acre parcel of a run down house on popular street that he purchased in nineteen. Ninety

evan okay, so this puts him in the state of new york within a year of this young woman going missing rain. He was staying at this. location during the time period in which susie was taken. This is about two hundred miles from the spot where she was abducted. So it's still a good deal of distance, but we can put him in the same state. Israel Keyes was known to be very familiar with the area and spent quite a bit of time. There would later go on to rob a bank in tupper lake new york in two thousand and nine keys, told investigators that one of the ways he planned his murders and to elude detection was to commit the abduction, the murder and the disposal all in three different states-

Albany new york is very close to the borders of each of massachusetts and vermont seems like a preferred location for this man, and there is a good chance. It's that he was in the area of the s. U n Y albany campus in march of nineteen. Ninety eight, while, like you said he also traveled quite a bit, so a thousand mile drive when he saying that's not that far off for him to drive to to miles. Isn't that far right and we have a witness who says she can put him in that area in the month that Susie disappeared. So this men who was an attorney for the? U S, state department spoke with the fbi after keys was arrested in two thousand and twelve. She said that she recognized him for

an incident when she was loading packages into her car outside of a marshalls department store in albany this in march of nineteen. Ninety She says a young man with wavy dark hair who she described looking like beaker from them up its approach her and they had a very bizarre encounter with this man. She said that this incident was unnerving to her and she would never forget it. So when she saw is we're on the news. Years later. She says she was one hundred percent certain that it was he who she spoke with that night. Recognizing both his face and she says his voice seeing the video was traumatic for her, because she remembered keys so clearly.

The marshals in albany is across the street from the army recruitment center, where, a few months later, Israel Keyes would enlist in the army The marshall store in the army, recruitment center are both on central avenue, the same street that the stewart's convenience store where susie's atm card was used just two miles down the road. this all really puts it seems. Very. Likely that this man, Israel keys, may have been in this area that month right, I find it and it's a cue it's coincidence that he and raw enlist in the army at the recruitment center across the street. From this marshall store, because at first I was like I supposed to believe this woman who says year earlier. She recognized this guy brain, but it's right across the street from the marshal parking lot that she's claiming she was at talking to beaker yeah,

and then top that off with she's, an officer of the court she's a an attorney with the: u s state department, so she's got some credit and it seems like the fbi. They believe her to be credible. Like also planning out. His disposals of the body may be more so than a lot of killers sigh when it suspect that he would dispose of bodies on on poverty that he owned. But do you know if they ve search that property? That much? I believe that this property has been searched. good deal. He would have been an look. I don't like the champion these guys. I don't like the pat on the back with just caught him beaker, so keys would have been too or to bury somebody on his property right. done smart thing, think there was a discipline there. Well one I think doing that is very that

those his level of preparedness and his level as discipline. As you say, is it's clear to me that in several occasions of his crimes that he is choosing the disposal site before he's, choosing a victim brain which is in complete opposite order that a lot of other criminals carry out this type of behavior. He loves the randomness of the victim one for his own enjoyment, but too, so that he is detected also, but maybe there's also a thrill there as well write his own enjoyment yeah, where it's like that's part of his sick fantasy. Is that I got a plan where I'm going to dispose the body. I have to plan all the

things out and once that is planned out now I just have to find the victim and that's, I think, part of part of his sick game. Where we see an reagan's case, part of his sick game is stocking them And taking pictures of them and understanding their movements yeah, it seems it keys, enjoys the it's like it's like it, a video game right, you know when you play a level on that game for the first time. What your ultimate goal is you don't what you're going to an encounter along the way He knows what the end result is. The end result that he wants. He, He loves the thrill of the uncontrolled, unexpected variable of what the randomness of the victim could throw his wet now Susie's aid,

m card was used to take out twenty dollars after she was abducted or after she went missing. The person who did this man is shoe, avoid using a machine was surveillance, cameras. Israel told the fbi that he was very careful to avoid machines with cameras and he use samantha as he used a previous victims atm card take out twenty dollars to be sure that she had given him the correct pen So this was something he had done on another occasion right when he abducted a woman took her atm card, got her to give him the pin and then successively chose chose machines that did not. have cameras on them and the final piece of compelling evidence that keys could have been responsible for Susie Lyle. On his computer, the f b, I found searches they have been conducted for forty four missing persons. It is

that this list of names is a combination of both Israel keyes his victims plus other missing persons, cases that he was injured did and for whatever reason we know at least two of his actual victims are on that list and another name that is on. That list is suzanne lyle and keys admitted to killing one new york state victim. She also fits this profile, of course, that statistical, ah, is that an infamous serial killer, such as israel keys, killed, susie Lyle are still very very low, but there is just enough there to make us think that perhaps it's not so unlikely after all, I do also want to know here. Are listeners will be interested to hear this captain the jennifer markham was also

this list. As we know she was killed by scott Lee Kimball, who we covered brain so again. It's believed that this list is his victims plus some missing persons that he was interested in whatever reason, Julie, rain walker is also on this list. And it seems very unlikely that keys was the killer of of young to leak unless he just so happened upon the child after he ran off Right now, whoever took susie, it seems almost certain that it was not just someone who was hiding in the bushes or someone who followed from the mall on the bus. Since there's no trace of her, ever been found. Except for this id tag, it seems certain that a vehicle had to have been used in her abduction, get grabber put her in the vehicle and then drive off both key

and John reagan, of course, were known to have used vehicles in their crimes and in their attempted crimes as well all right. So where do we go from here? Well, we do have some victim advocacy that was set up by Susie's parents. Her mother, susie's mother, Mary Lyle, says that, after wallowing in her depression for five years, she was finally able to motivate herself to trying to take a more active role in the search for her daughter she and her husband, Doug established the center for hope organization designed to provide support and assistance to other families of missing persons and push for legislation to enhance law enforcement response to missing persons reports. The center for hope also helped create new york's annual missing persons day, which is an april each year,

served on the saturday closest to susie's birthday. The organisation which has nonprofit status also helped produce and distribute fifty five thousand drink posters, two area, restaurants and thirty thousand decks of playing cards to all of the county jails in new york. The coastal areas and cards fee you're missing persons cold cases. They were the brainchild of the lyles, who heard of a assent a programme and florida according to the times union. The centre for hope also worked in tandem with new york officials to create the investigative guide for missing college students and collaborate with

forced me to publish what to do. If a loved one goes missing, a guide for left behind family members. The lives were directly responsible for getting some significant legislation passed at both the state. federal level in two thousand governor george Pataki, signed the new york state campus security act, which requires all colleges to develop plans for investigating a missing student or violent offense committed on campus. this was to avoid situations like that they, the lines had encountered where susie's disappearance was sort of dismissed by the campus police, and there were no protocols for contacting forcemeat, then in two thousand and three president george w Bush signed susie.

the wall, which eliminated the waiting period for law enforcement, to launch an investigation when a person between the ages of eighteen and twenty one goes missing, and a two thousand and seven congress and acted these suzanne Lyle campus security act, which require as colleges across the country to have written plans on how they will work with local law enforcement agencies.
