This assignment is for my Case Management and Problem Solving class. I need you to watch both of the you tube videos below about a man name Israel Keyes and answer each section below. Answer each section about the video:

Presenting Problem

Apparent serial killer. Spoke about them at length during his interviews. At least a dozen different victims. He loved the attention and media coverage that his crimes created. Specifically enjoyed the act of killing people.

Drug History and Current Pattern Use 

No proof that he used drugs. It would seem that the “high” he got from killing people and the media coverage he got from the same was what drove him. It was his drug, so to speak. Further, he became more and more “addicted” to killing and thus the intervals between criminal acts would become shorter due to his continued loss of control. However, he did not want to be called a serial killer.

Medical History and Current Status 

Seemingly in good health except for the depraved acts. Even authorities note that he was not “crazy” or otherwise not in a calculated state of mind. Murder was his drug of choice, for whatever reason.

Family History and Current Relationship 

As noted below, he...

...

Not long before his final capture, he attended the wedding of one his sisters. Mid-ceremony, he was ranting about how there was no God.
Crime & Delinquency 

No major criminal record before the murders and other felonies came to light. One citation for no license and another for DUI. No violent offenses. Violent criminal history did not begin until 1996

Education  

Raised in a Mormon family and he was home-schooled. Later became casually involved in a church that had clear ties to the white supremacist movement.

Employment

Joined the Army in 1998. Remained there until 2001. Was decorated and was honorably discharged. Had his own construction business in 2007 while in Alaska. Worked as a handyman, contractor and construction worker.

Mental Status Examination  

Propensity towards barbaric and horrific acts, but yet very meticulous and careful when it comes to the same. Very confident and self-assured, even after he was caught.

Appearance  

Fairly good appearance to him despite him being in custody. His appearance while in custody would seem to match from when he was still on the loose…

Jews desperately sought entrance into the City of Spring, but the British stood firm on their proclamation, fearing Arab backlash. "The Nazis kill us," the Jews cried, "and the British won't let us live." In 1945, the world discovered that its greatest fear had come true: the Nazi death camps all over Europe, ripe with the massacre of the Jewish people, cemented the Zionist call in those who lived. "Israelis

Israel Is a Country Caught

ISRAEL'S SUCCESSES: Israel has accomplished much in its 48 years to be proud of. It has created a country from scratch, finding ways to farm efficiently in a climate not completely hospitable to farming. It has established a strong educational system. It has fought six wars and managed to defend its country successfully even when it was surrounded by hostile neighbors. It has brought the region to the point where the
