Arrested: Israel Keyes, 34, is in police custody on unrelated charges and is the sole person of interest in the Koenig case.The body of an 18-year-old barista has been found in a lake, more than two months after she was abducted from the coffee stand where she worked in Anchorage, Alaska.
After hours of searching Monday, police divers found Samantha Koenig's remains in Matanuska Lake, 39 miles north of the spot where she was last seen being kidnapped by an armed man.
Detectives believe her killer targeted the teen at random. She has no known connections to the suspect -- who is in police custody on unrelated charges.
Police said they believe the Anchorage woman died within hours of her abduction. They would not say how she was killed.
'Investigators further believe the person responsible for Samantha's death acted alone, and we are confident that we have that person in custody,' Anchorage Police Chief Mark Mew said.
