He went into the shed and retrieved Samantha ’s body, taking steps to make it appear that she was still alive, and took a Polaroid picture of her tied up. When Keyes returned from his trip, he retrieved Koenig ’s body, which had been frozen since his departure. He then groomed and arranged the body to give the impression that she was still alive. He stitched her eyes open, sat her up, and took a polaroid of her with a four-day-old copy of the Anchorage Daily Newspaper. He braided Samantha Koenig ’s hair, painted her face, and used fishing line to sew her eyes open, according to Latin Times. He took a picture after leaning her body against a wall and holding up.
