Correct although it wasn't out, those particular highway patrol vehicles don't have one at all. When they transport suspects, they always use the passenger seat to do so.
Did you ever find out why Israel Keyes was in the front seat for this drive? I know it’s a little detail but it’s so out of protocol for transporting a prisoner.
Yes, it was for the exact reason we speculated. There is no center divider in the vehicle and it was for the officers safety. It is protocol for those vehicles. There's more detail in the interview with Steven Rayburn.
Got it. You Rock! I’m always pleased when I see you have dropped another piece⚡️
Thank you so much! There's definitely still more to come.
With the divider out Keyes could have attacked the officer from the backseat? Am I reading it right?

Thanks for this Viktoria! Any chance you’ll get any video or audio of Israel’s transport to Alaska on the flight with US Marshall’s? Thanks!
Sadly, no, that won't be public record, if it was even recorded.
I figured that since that was a Federal “trip” and they don’t release anything as easily as a State FOIA. But I figured I would ask 😊
