Criminal Minds · Season 1, Episode 15

Hotchner, Prentiss and others in “Unfinished Business”

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.

DJDet. Jim Griffith

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.

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.
