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.
