There's the trees. There's no look like the tire tracks. They're going straight this way. But it ended up in the creek at an angle. Yeah, and that's like a really. Like if he swerved. Well, why are you swerving? But that angle with those tire tracks is. I don't know, I'm not an expert on this, but that doesn't seem like it makes much sense. It's also like you almost have to intentionally get it through these trees. It's like a car can fit through here, maybe there. But you have to be very intent about how you're doing it. I mean they were a little smaller back there it looks like, but not significant there. This is true crime bullshit. I'm your host, Josh Hallmark and this is a stage serialized story of Israel Keyes. Israel Keyes admitted to moving, stealing and disappearing cars in conjunction with his abductions, murders and robberies. He talked about setting them on fire and submerging them in bodies of water. And as both credible reports of encounters with Keyes and Keyes favorite media would suggest, he was also likely wrecking cars, either as part of the abduction process or as a means to disappear a car or stage a car accident. This is something that comes up in his favorite movie, Death Proof, his favorite book, intensity, by Dean Koontz, and in the book found in his shed where he raped and murdered Samantha Koenigse, Mr. Murder, also by Dean Koontz. And that's a book we're going to get into extensively this season because it's essentially a playbook for how Israel Keys operated. In fact, if his M.O. is inspired by anything, it's Mr. Murder. As an example, Mr. Murder uses a homemade silencer in order to kill an older couple during a home invasion. When he's done, he knows that he's supposed to break down the silencer and dispose of its individual pieces in separate locations while on his way to the airport. But after putting all the hard work into building his silencer, he's not quite ready to destroy it. So he drives 50 miles to another city, in another state and uses it to rob a convenience store and kill the clerk, which is, you know, familiar. In another chapter, Mr. Murder kills someone, steals his car, uses it to commit a second crime, then abandons it in a parking lot of an apartment complex. And that's where he steals a second car in order to return to his own car, which was parked some distance from the original crime scene. All this is to say reading Mr. Murder is a surreal experience for anyone even remotely familiar with Keyes and his crimes. But I digress. Keyes wrecking cars and staging car accidents comes up a lot, not just in his favorite media and interviews, but in the Namus 44. And even in cases we've previously discussed as possible Keyes victims. From the Namus 44, Lorianne Boffman's car was found wrecked and abandoned. Antonio Luggio's car was eventually found submerged in a pond, although it wasn't recovered until after Keyes death. Then there's potential victims like Brianna Maitland And Sheila Kathleen McBroom, whose cars were found abandoned with significant damage to them. Not to mention the arsons of Jeremy Burt's Kelly Sue Akernix and John Hanneman's cars, as discussed in the previous episode. Then, of course, there's the multiple accounts of people who reported that Keys tried to run them off the road. Bill Currier's co worker at the UV campus in 2012, a woman who was driving on Interstate 70 in Colorado in 2005, a woman on a rural Mississippi highway in 2008, and Molly, whose detailed and highly credible account of being chased by keyes along routes 112 and 101 on the Washington Peninsula has come up numerous times across multiple Keyes media. And as we discussed in episode 210, there's the suspicious grill guard Keyes installed on his F150 truck shortly after moving to Neah Bay. And finally, and perhaps most profoundly, Keyes himself wrote about doing exactly this quite clearly and graphically in his suicide. Where will you go, you clever little worm if you bleed your hose dry? Back in your ride. The night is still young. Streetlights push back the black neat rose. Off to the right a graveyard appears. Lines of stones, bodies molded below Turn away quick bob your head to the seat as straight through that stop sign you'll roll. Loaded truck with lights off slams into your broadside. Your flesh smashed as metal explodes. You may have been free. You loved living your life. Fate had its own scheme. Crushed like a bug, you still die. I've long suspected that there are at least several Keyes victims whose cars were either in accidents or. Or staged to appear as though they were in accidents. And it's something you can sometimes hear when listening to keys discuss moving cars and presumed accidental deaths. There were a couple times that I moved cars and stuff of theirs, but it's not like I kidnapped them or something. Were they in the cars when you. When you moved them? Okay. Did you do that to cover up, to hide the crimes? Just to throw. Yeah, throw it off for a while. I mean, you said you did move their cars. Yeah, a car. A car that belonged to at least one of them. Right. And the purpose just. We went through that fast. The purpose? Purpose of moving the car. They weren't in the car. But it was to do what? Just to throw it off, Distance it or whatever. Just to, okay, moved it away from a scene or something. Right. Get it farther away. It always surprises me, you know, like some situations you read about in the paper, like so and so disappeared. Presumed boating accident, for example. They find their boat. You don't know what really happened to that person. And that suspicion is what led me to foia, A case I stumbled upon several years ago while looking into some of Keyes earlier suspicious Travels. Specifically a November 1999 car rental out of Tacoma, Washington. It was Thanksgiving weekend and just six weeks before Keyes was to be deployed to Egypt for a six month stay. He rented a car from the usave Auto Rental at the mall across the street from Fort Lewis and disappeared for four days. Although to say disappeared is not entirely accurate, because based on FBI interviews and my own conversations with people, people close to Keyes, we have two very likely but unconfirmed destinations for this road trip. His childhood girlfriend Annie's family's house in Colville, or his younger sister's house in Gresham, Oregon. Based on FBI interviews with Annie in the late spring of 1999, sparked by the death of her stepfather, she and Keys rekindled their teenage romance. And while he was stationed in Fort Lewis, they began writing letters back and forth again. And that summer, Keyes rented a car and drove out to Colville to see her. And while she couldn't remember specific dates, she told investigators that Keyes rented cars and came out to visit several more times in the following months. Although she doesn't call out any holiday visits, which you'd think one would remember more close clearly than a random weekend. From what I've heard. It's also likely he was visiting his sister for Thanksgiving. She had just eloped, moved to Oregon and had her first child. And Keyes was apparently visiting her often during this period. In his own words, he was very protective of her, particularly after she ran away from home and was essentially disowned by the Keyes family. According to the Keyes psych report, she's the only sibling he talks about having a bond with. And her birthday. Well, it's just a few weeks after Thanksgiving. So while we don't know for certain where he went that weekend, we know he was almost certainly visiting a loved one. You talked once, one of the interviews about kind of having. Trying to set up alibis during some of your crimes. Can you elaborate a little bit more on what kind of alibis you'd set up? And would you pass your cell phone off to other people to hang on to or different things like that, or is it more just. No. I never was specific with anyone. You never passed yourself. But there was a lot of stuff that I did with it was I would do it in conjunction with something else that was going on. A pretty tight timeline, if you could say. So that if it ever came up, then it's not like I would be in a situation where I had to explain where I was for days on end or something. That was more along the lines. But I never had any, say, alibis, like people who would vouch for me or something. No, but the timeline would make it look like it was difficult for you to ride and that's what takes us to the strange car accident that occurred near Mount Rainier on Sunday, November 28th of 1999. No one knows when or exactly how Gary Sean Bryant's car ended up in Lake Creek on the outskirts of Morton, Washington. Nor is it clear when Gary was last seen prior to the discovery of his car. But at 6:51pm on November 28th of 1999, Gary was reported missing by the Washington State Police after his car was discovered wedged between a boulder and the banks of Lake Creek near its confluence into the Tilton River. The major discrepancy within the case files centers on Gary's date of last contact. On one report it's stated to be November 28, the day his car was found. But on another it's reported as November 27th. And unfortunately neither report specifies the details of that last contact, what time it occurred, who it was with, or the general nature of it. Five foot seven, Gary was 32 when he disappeared. He was married with three young children. He was an out of work logger and lived in a trailer in a wooded area along the Tilton river about three miles northwest of Morton. The status of his relationship with his wife is unclear. She only comes up once in the files and it was to sign off on the release of his medical records. But based on real estate records and background searches, it appears that Gary and his wife may have been living separately at the time of his disappearance. And while we don't have a lot of information surrounding his last known whereabouts, we do know that upon the discovery of his car, the Lewis County Sheriff's Office sprung into action. Gary's car was discovered at around 6pm on the 28th. And a search of the surrounding area involving helicopters, cadaver dogs, search and rescue, a dive team and horse mounted officers began at approximately 8am the very next day. But despite 17 people searching a nine mile span of the Tilton river and its shores over 99 collective man hours, not a single piece of evidence was ever recovered including Gary. And the cadaver dogs didn't hit anywhere including the area immediately surrounding Gary's car. At some point between the discovery of his car and the search the following morning, the Lewis County Sheriff's Office laid out a theory for what they believed happened. A report from the morning of the 28th reads as the search request is a result of a vehicle accident that occurred in Morton, Washington. During the investigation, it was believed that the victim, a white male approximately 30 years old, had failed to negotiate a corner at approximately 70 miles per hour. The impact ejected him out of the car into the rising Tilton River. And while I suppose this could be a reasonable presumption based on the scene, superficially at least, there's a lot about the state of the car, the road. The presumed accident occurred on the placement of the car in the creek and both Lake Creek and Tilton river that cast doubt on this theory. And unfortunately, local law enforcement had tunnel vision when it came to the theory. They never looked at this as anything more than a car accident. They never interviewed anyone in Gary's life. They didn't do a thorough analysis of his car, they just chalked it up to being a car accident. And By June of 2000, Gary had been pronounced dead and the case was cold.

But before we get into that, here's what you should know. First, Gary's car went into the creek, not off some main road or highway, but off of a gravel road that essentially operates as the driveway for a small ready mix cement plant. There's no conceivable reason Derry would be on that stretch of road, let alone driving 70 miles per hour down it. Now, to be fair, the road, Westlake Avenue, is adjacent to Highway 12, but it takes a bit of effort to get to it from the highway. This is by no means a situation where you're driving along a highway and then accidentally enter up on some side street. From Route 12 you have to make a 90 degree turn onto 7th street, then drive about 75ft before making another 90 degree turn onto Westlake. And from there you have to drive half a mile past a cemetery and a waste management plant before getting to the alleged crash site. Essentially, it takes quite a significant amount of intention to get to where Gary's car ended up in the creek. Secondly, while Lake Creek and Tilton river were in the midst of historic flooding at the time of Gary's disappearance, his car was only submerged at its deepest point up to the top of his driver's side wheel well, approximately 27 inches deep in a narrow creek. Because the car was at a slant, that front end driver side tire was the only tire in the water. And finally, other than a fairly minimal amount of front end damage and a busted out windshield, the car was in pretty good shape. It did not by any stretch of the imagination look like a car that drove off a steep embankment, through multiple trees and thick brush into a Creek at 70 miles an hour. So we had questions about the topography, the trees and foliage between the gravel road and the creek, the visibility of the car from the highway and surrounding areas, and the tire tracks and skid marks that even in photos don't really make sense. So just a few days shy of the 22nd anniversary of Gary's disappearance, French And I drove the half mile stretch of road past the cemetery to the cement mixing plant. And much to our luck as we pulled up, so did a friendly and talkative cement mixer. Do you know if this road was recently paved? Has it always been paved? Yeah, it just got chipped sealed this summer. Was it dirt before that? No, no, it's up very. Then kind of unravel from there on. But that's county road right there. The city ends and then it's county finish up the road. It's really kind of weird because the city's down at that end of the road. But this is county to here. But. And they chipped heal the whole thing. This place has been operating the whole time. Yeah, it was actually. It was not Cal Portland then they bought them out in 03 in 2003. Okay. It was central ready mix at the time. Do you ever have any problems with people breaking in or. Not here? Not here. No, not in a long time. Somebody screwed with it like 20 years ago. But what did they do? Oh, I think they were trying to break in, you know, but didn't. Was the gate here at the time? Yeah, yeah, we've always had the gate. How'd they get through the gate? Well, they can just park out here and then park over the gate. Not a high fence since then. We put in security in the building, so motion sensors. Unfortunately, he wasn't working at that particular plant when Gary went missing. So he didn't have any information about the disappearance. However, his comments about the scene being just outside of town jurisdiction and in county territory were both interesting and familiar. It's something we know that Keyes played around with jurisdictional lines that could muddle investigations. In fact, earlier that morning I'd been at Lake Quinault where Delmar's samples car was recovered along the Quinault River. And much like Gary's, Delmar's car was recovered just across the county line and at a clearly marked juncture from state to county operated roadway. Our new friend also mentioned that the plant had been broken into about 20 years ago. Around the same time that Gary disappeared. And he eventually expressed doubt that someone could accidentally drive into the creek from Westlake Avenue and then somehow disappear completely. And he wasn't the only one. As French and I walked along the creek, we ran into a local who was smoking under the highway overpass. Also, I don't think, even if you're not wearing a seatbelt, I don't think you'd die in that accident. Unless he ended up in the the water hey, how you doing? How you doing? Looking at a car crash that happened here, I wonder if you remembered that. Yeah, from, like, 20 years ago. 99. Yeah. All right. This road supposedly. Yeah, yeah, exactly. They're just cruising down this road, maybe doesn't stop. That's what we're trying to figure out. Huh. Weird. Yeah, weird. So with this one supposedly flew off the road, got lodged in, and then got into the river. And no, make it happen. Really? Yeah. So that's the. And there was no blood evidence for anywhere. They never found the person? No, it said ended up in the creek and then covered anyway. Yeah, no blood through the windshield. Didn't end up on the other side. Car's, like, at a weird angle, so I don't know. But then this guy that we're looking into, he was. He was in the area at the time, too. Really? Yeah. So that's suspicious. Yeah, very suspicious. Yeah. How'd you get ejected and then managed to float all the way down the creek into the river and gone? Yeah, that's highly. I'm like, It's highly unlikely for. For a lot of reasons. For one, Garry would have needed to not only be ejected from the car through the windshield of his early 80s Mercury Cougar, but he'd have to be ejected more than four and a half feet across the hood of the car. And from there, he'd have to float approximately 500ft down a narrow and serpentine creek before even getting to the Tilton River. But the most unbelievable thing about the scene is how Gary's car even got to where it ended up. And it wasn't just the four of us at the creek that day who were suspicious about this alleged accident scene. If one thing, though, is the tire tracks is if it's keys, I'm assuming he's putting it in neutral and pushing it down here. Well, that's the thing. Like, I think the tire tracks are just, like, too perfect. Right. Like, my. Like, I could see him. Like, how would you do that? Getting the tire tracks and then neutral and roll it down. Because it. I feel like it certainly makes more sense that it would roll down there and then get lodged in the way it did. Yeah. If you're going 70, I mean, this is enough of a. That's like, enough of a roof, Even if you did it, like, Into the water. Yeah. And there's not a lot of damage to the body of the car. Just, like, it looks like it got rolled in. Yeah. So here's the thing about those tire tracks. They lead directly into A tree, a large and very old tree that you can even see in the photos from 1999. And between the end of those tracks and the tree was a fence, which is still broken to this day, and essentially a short cliff. And to French's point, a car going 70 miles per hour or even. Even 40 miles per hour is likely going to flip, but what it's not going to do is somehow get down this cliff and then drive around another tree. I had Kaz, another researcher for the show who recently worked on a crash reconstruction case, weigh in on those skid marks, and here's what she had to say. If those skid marks belonged to his car, he was not going 70 miles per hour. Like the file indicates, the skid marks would have been darker, getting lighter to the front of the marks if he applied the brakes. The only way for him to go over the cliff at 70 miles per hour is if he didn't brake at all. Also, I think it's logical to posit that if he was skidding out around the curve, the car would have started to run, rotate even slightly, and rolled down the hill, as opposed to taking a header off the road, which is what French and I and our new friends thought. There's also the matter of the other three trees between the Carr and Westlake Avenue. There are four fir trees between the road and the Creek bed. All four are in the 1999 firm photos and are still there and undamaged to this day. And we couldn't think of a reasonable way that a person could accidentally crash through the fence, through those trees and get to where Cary's car ended up. It would take intention and precision, and most importantly, the car would have to be entering from the exact opposite angle that Gary's car would have gone in had he failed to negotiate the corner. There was also no glass or blood anywhere on the hood of the car, not a single shard nor drop. If someone got into this accident and flew through the windshield, you'd think there'd be some evidence of that at the scene, especially given that the creek water only went at its highest to the front driver side wheel well. And finally, beyond what it would take for Gary to get to that particular stretch of road and the complete and utter lack of reason for him to be there in the first place, there's no way he could have mistaken Westlake Avenue for the highway. He lived in Morton for over a decade at this point and most recently lived two blocks from where his car was found. The clock's running out.

Within the case files, which are largely duplicate copies of reports chronicling the search and copies of Bryant's medical records, there is a single and somewhat ambiguous reference that at a minimum, shows some level of skepticism around the alleged car accident. It's a two sentence handwritten note from the lead detective looking for case mm to pick up Northwest Harrison area, possibly a slingshot used. Unfortunately, that's the entirety of the note and there's no indication of why the officer thinks a slingshot may have been used or whether this was followed up on and it's never mentioned again. But after doing some digging, I was able to determine that Harrison refers to Harrison Christian, which was a construction company several blocks down Westlake Avenue from Lake Creek. I reached out to the Lewis County Sheriff's office for clarification around the note and to ask some questions about Gary's marital status and his last known contact. The officer I spoke with had only recently been assigned to the case and said that essentially, if I have the case files, I know where. What he knows. He had no information on the slingshot Bryant's personal life, nor his last known contact. But he did say this. He thought the photos of the accident scene didn't make sense. The photos didn't line up with the narrative. And the seats, they appeared to be pushed all the way back. Gary Sean Bryant was 5 foot 7. On November 29, the day after Gary's car was recovered and the day the search was being conducted, a rural convenience store 40 miles north of Morton was robbed at gunpoint at around 6:30pm According to the Tacoma News Tribune, a young man walked into the street store and bought a beverage. After paying for the drink, he ordered the female clerk to keep the register open, at which point he reached in and emptied it. While the robber was emptying the register, the store's owner entered the area from the kitchen and chased him out of the store. The robber got away with all the register's money and ran through a wooded area to a nearby church, where he was seen speeding away in a shadow Chevy Astro van. And while there's no video surveillance nor detailed description of the robber, the account sounds very similar to this interview with keys. Armed robberies. That's most days that's better, especially if it's like a small town. Remember the first one I did? I was freaked out and. But then once I got in there and actually was doing it, I remember one of the ladies at the counter, she was about the same age as my mom. And just the look on her face, I still think about that. She couldn't believe it. Not just that, but she was just terrified, you know, And I hadn't really done anything. It wasn't even like I was. It wasn't that crazy of a robbery. It was just. Where was that at? That was a long time ago. When was that? Always surprised that as much stuff as I've done, it always crossed my mind that at some point somebody's gonna have A gun. And I knew that the whole time. And for some reason, I kept telling myself, I was like, you really need to get a bulletproof vest, because one of these days somebody's gonna have a gun. I just never did. I don't know. Did anyone ever pull a gun on you? No. So how old were you with the first armed robbery? I don't remember. Was it before this incident or after? Are you know, I mean. Yeah, it was in Washington. Was it a store or a bank? Sounds like a store. Yeah, it was a store. Just. Do you remember the name? Do you remember. Why did you do that? I mean, I don't know. Did you. Was it for money then or still? Well, it was for money, but do you remember how much money you got? No. Wasn't very good. In Tupper, Lake Keys ran from the bank through the woods to a school where his car was parked in Alito. Keyes parked his car at a nearby church to watch the Alito house burn down. Keyes talked about schools and churches a lot. He knew them as places that were generally empty at night with little to no security, where you could park a car for extended periods of time without looking suspicious. And they both come up a lot in cases we've looked at. Susie Lyle is believed to have disappeared from the SUNY campus. Lauren Spearer was last seen several blocks from both a middle school and Indiana University. Kimberly Ann Forbes house was separated. Separated from a church by a large wooded area. Giovanna Tyler lived across the street from a school. Sheila Kathleen McBroom's church was burned down several months before she disappeared. Keyes admitted to escaping a different bank robbery through a school parking lot. Kelly Sue Akernecht was last seen at a Rite Aid, which was also separated from a nearby church by a large wood area. And Gary Sean Bryant's car was found in Lake Creek directly between a cement mixing plant and a heavily wooded Mormon church. The route along I5 from Gresham to Fort Lewis runs just past Morton, Washington. But if you're adverse to traveling interstates, the quickest route between the two cities takes you directly past the alleged crash site, the convenience store that was robbed, and the Morton Laundromat. A hamper of laundry was found inside Gary's car. If you're traveling from Colville to Fort Lewis, however, Morton is a little bit out of the way. Well, usually. According to multiple reports, the Snoqualmie Pass along i90 was open but practically impassable. Over Thanksgiving weekend that year, snowfall had reached blizzard levels. Visibility was extremely low, and There were long stretches of interstate covered in ice. The fastest alternative route from the east side of the pass takes you directly through Morton. Keys returned his rental car on the evening of Monday, November 29th. It's highly probable he would have been in the area of the convenience store when it was robbed, and very plausible that he could have been in Morton or near Morton when Gary Sean Bryant's car went into the creek.
