We're going to provide a psychological profile of the man we're looking for. It contains some unusual, specific personality traits that someone out there is bound to recognize.
He's deeply rationalized this behavior, and while he certainly knows the killing is wrong, he truly believes that he's doing the world a great service.

Ultimately, this type of unsub becomes a loner. There won't be too many people that can still tolerate him. Now, if he does have a relationship at all, the person will not be his equal. It'll be someone subservient to him.
He'll be... fastidious, tending toward obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he'll have an overwhelming sense of indignation towards the things that he's judged to be wrong. He wouldn't even consider the reasons why someone might disagree with him.
Detective McGee started noticing the disappearances a year ago. The Unsub probably had a stressor at this time. The death of a family member, or someone who had some semblance of control over him. Right now, no one has control over him.
It's probable that he isn't currently working after this many victims and the devolution that it brings, a job just wouldn't leave him time to practice his true calling.
We'd like to give you a rough profile of the man we're all looking for. This is someone with access. He's managed to move in a small community with a high police presence without raising suspicion.
Which means there's a good chance that this is someone you've seen.

This Unsub has killed three women in four days. That's what we call a spree killer. Now, most likely something has happened in the past few days to set him off.
And because he kills white, brunette women, that stressor probably has to do with a woman in his life that fits the same description. Wife, mother girlfriend. Women he's killing, they're most likely a substitute.
Well, the people around him have seen him devolving. If you suspect someone on campus, talk to anyone who knows him, find out if he's recently found religion, been drinking, even if he's been harming himself.
Morgan
He may feel emasculated. Considering the stressor and the victimology, there's a good chance that rejection is a recurring theme in his life.
This Unsub displays a great amount of anger, stabs his victims repeatedly, even after their dead. Seconds later, he feels remorse. It's possible that his guilt is because his victims were in a position to trust him.
If he's got her he waits 48 hours, he's not gonna kill her yet.
Morgan
He's changed the pattern of the dump sites, now he's changed how he abducts them. Do we really want to gamble that he's sticking to the rest of the model?
We need to get invited in that door. He's looking for female authority figures. If he lets me in I can signal as soon I see anything that gives us cause.
You know, we made a deal a long time ago not to profile each other.
Morgan
Am I wrong? You know, Hotch, today was a huge, huge victory for all of us. I mean, I never thought I'd say this, but... we're doing just fine without Gideon. Hotch. What's keeping you up tonight?
99 percent of abducted children were killed or died within the first 24 hours, 75 percent within the first three hours, and like, of course you know, Jessica Davis, 44 percent of children were abducted and killed in the first hour.
I never understood, how someone like you could trust them.
Morgan
Someone like me?

How has the federal government ever helped your people? Slavery, ghettos, poverty. The CIA got you all hooked on heroin in the sixties, crack in the eighties. Now, I hate the government, but you... you should despise them. They sure as hell don't care about you now. There are five other members of your team. Look around you. Why the hell did they send you in here?
Morgan
Francis Goehring and a partner abducted and killed 4 innocent women, the last of which we just found dead in a bed of roses, shot in the back twice. Nobody sent me anywhere. I came here to do right by her. Now, Goehring's partner is out there somewhere, so we completely understand if you boys are just too afraid to tell us about him. I get it. But just say so. Don't go hidin' behind your vague little gun threats and tired conspiracy theories, please.
Just because you wouldn't cross a crowded room to hit on me does not mean that a more perceptive, less superficial guy wouldn't. Hey, Derek, you want snappy? You suck. [Hangs up]
What happened to you? Only someone who grew up with religion could have so much contempt for a priest he hardly knows.
Morgan
When I was a kid, something bad was happening to me. And I went to church every day, and I prayed. Oh, I prayed for it to stop. You know what God did? Nothin'
You know, in my day, if your partner made a request like that- Well, I was just giving you a chance at personal growth.
Morgan
[Chuckles] I get you, Dave. You're not a mystery to me, man. They said you couldn't interview serial killers. You did. They said you couldn't put together a profiling team. You did. They said there was no way in hell you would ever come back here. You did. It's in your nature Rossi. It's who you are.
