We're dealing with a desperate detective here. Three dead boys and no evidence at all. So he applies the profile directly to someone he already suspected. It's easy to get tunnel vision that way.
Okay, check this out. The antelope travel in packs; so the lion just sits and waits. Waits for just one of the antelope to break away from its herd. So when he's alone, vulnerable, and completely unprotected, that's when the lioness strikes, that's when she makes her move.
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.
He did. Frank changed. He changed just like Agent Gideon said. And he was so angry with Agent Gideon because he knows Frank better than anyone else, and Frank knows that, too.
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.

What we need you to do is look at people who are part of the campus fabric. See if anyone fits the bill, students, professors, support staff.

I'm sorry, how are my men supposed to know about somebody's home life?
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.
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.
Means of subduing the victim, potential weapon, source of displaced rage, stressor, evidence of a self-destructive spiral and trophies of his kills. Everything that points to the profile, yet nothing we can hold him on!
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.
