In Dark Minds season 3 episode 1, titled "The Secrets of Israel Keyes, Part 1," investigative journalist M. William Phelps teams up with criminal profiler John Kelly to delve into the mind of one of America's most chilling serial killers: Israel Keyes.

Keyes, who committed suicide in his jail cell in 2012 while awaiting trial for the murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Alaska, was a highly organized and meticulous killer. He has admitted to killing at least 11 people across the United States between 2001 and 2012, but authorities suspect there may be many more victims.

As they uncover more about Keyes's past, Phelps and Kelly begin to see patterns in his murders. Keyes was a methodical and careful killer, who took great pains to hide his crimes from authorities. He abducted his victims in secret, disposed of their bodies in remote locations, and maintained tight control over all of the details of the murders.

Through their research, the investigators hope to uncover clues about Keyes's possible other victims, as well as gain insight into what motivated him to commit such heinous crimes. The episode sets the stage for the rest of the season, as Phelps and Kelly continue to unravel the threads of Israel Keyes's dark and twisted mind.
