The NCIS team quickly sat down at their respective desks while the BAU stood to the side gathered in front of an attractive brunette. She had introduced herself as Danielle Anderson, Director of Special Operations and Investigations, she led the BAU around through the MCRT's desks and around to hallway where she then opened the nearest door to reveal an oval table, a clear board with markers and a TV connected to a computer.
"There's no password on the computer, however that means you won't be able to access our files, so if you want to get them just give me a buzz and I'll come down. My office is just upstairs, my phone number is by the phone and you can easily set up a video chat if need be." Dani told the group.
Hotch then gave her a rare smile as she began to leave the room. She smiled back and this exchange did not go unmissed by Rossi. They set up their files and linked through a video link with Garcia, not yet calling. The BAU sat down, getting started on a profile.
The NCIS gang sat down at their computers, compiling information on their new victim.
Gibbs walked in with his new cup of coffee and stood in front of the screen. "What do we have?" Tony quickly stood up and stole the remote off of McGee.
"Petty Officer Katherine no-middle-name Banks, 24, unmarried, no kids, daughter to James and Margaret Banks, no tours, works in Human resources in a career advising office. "
Ziva then snatched the remote off of Tony and began to tell what she had found.
"Nobody has seen or heard from her in 2 days, this was not uncommon as she was an avid camper, liked to go out without her phone and 'switch off' as her CO said."
McGee then took the remote and began.
"No money or phone activity since Monday. I was able to track down her phone to her apartment. Her last transaction was at a bar in Georgetown, Lily and Ziva were able to talk to her friends who were with her."
Ziva then butted in and said
" they noticed nothing unusual, they said she never mentioned camping."
"Her last phone call was to her parents in Vermont. They're on their way in."
McGee passed the remote to Lily and she began
"So, I couldn't find anything that connects the her to the other victims except likeness. I haven't been able to find out how he finds his victims, they run in completely different circles, which leads me to believe he watches and stalks. I was looking back over all the crime scene photos and I noticed something.(wide angles of all the crime scenes came up on the screen) All of the victims are as you know covered in sand. That's why the media is calling him 'The Sandpit Killer' if you join all the pictures of the sand consecutively (all images close up together), they make part of an image."
"The symbol of 'The clockwork killer' you would know Gibbs, you and Mike Franks (she said his name as she looked down) worked the case as the 4th victim was Navy."
"Yeah we caught the guy, dumped a body every 48 hours like clockwork, he's locked up for life. What's he got to do with it?"
"Well I'm glad you asked" She said looking smug
"I looked more into the victims once I found that and viola! Our latest victim's father was the clockwork killer's lawyer. 1st victim was the niece of a jury member at the trial, he believed him to be 'not guilty' said he was 'mentally unstable' and just needed medical help, although his doctors said it was unnecessary and deemed him 'a pure psychopath' none of the other victims have relations to the clockwork killer. I don't think he's a fan I think he's trying to make a joke out of him, as the MO is very different to the clockwork killer, who preferred to stab, repeatedly."
"How did everybody miss this?" Ziva asked, puzzled.
"None of the other victims or crime scenes are related. It's such an old case nobody even thought to look for the pattern, even though the sand looks designed and not even half of the symbol is there."
Gibbs then took a moment to process all this.
"Go to tell the feebs (his new name for the FBI) what you found, miss super sleuth." Lily then walked away with her files and headed off to his desk.
"No wonder she wouldn't tell me what she had found" Tony said "Miss Genius over there always finds the good stuff."
"The first victim seems to be the first, look at the hesitation, the bruises are weaker. However they seem to be quite intelligent moves. Our UNSUB is probably in male in his late 30s early 40s." Derek Morgan said.
"The way he buries them.." Emily was cut of by a light knock on the door.
"Come in" Hotch said.
"Sorry to interrupt but we've just had a development in the case" Lily said, standing in the doorway.
Hotch waved her in and she moved to the screen.
"I've just sent the files to this screen. Here we go, Okay. Well it seems as if the killer is mimicking or poking fun at the clockwork killer."
The BAU turned as Spencer spoke up "The Clockwork Killer, killed 20 women in 1995, dumped a body every 48 hours. Each victim was repeatedly stabbed. 14? Of the victims were Navy." Spencer looked to Lily for reassurance who then nodded at him. "Was that an NCIS case?"
"Yeah Gibbs and his boss, worked the case."
Hotch then nodded in thanks to Lily. She took this as her queue to leave and exited the door.
"We'll split up and go to the current crime scenes and look for anything that relates to the clockwork case." Hotch said, "We're lucky to have an agent from the case. Morgan, call Garcia and get her to send all the files to our phones."
The team then quickly split up and headed off to the different dumpsites of the victims of the Sandpit killer, Spencer and Hotch went to the first site then would later go to the second, Emily and Rossi would go to the third then the fourth. JJ headed upstairs to Dani's office to discuss media and Rossi headed out to go down to Autopsy with Special Agent Gibbs who was less than enthused about it but had been pushed into it by Lily, who was adamant that they had to co-operate with the FBI if they wanted to catch this 'rude words I'm not going to say because I don't know his mother' killer.
The elevator was silent as SSA Rossi and SSA Gibbs rode in it down to autopsy.
When the elevator dinged and the doors opened to reveal the outside chamber to Autopsy they both stepped out as Gibbs led the way, walking through the automatic doors and into Autopsy.
"What you got Duck?" Gibbs asked walking over to the Autopsy table where their dead Petty Officer lay and where Duck and Palmer stood weighing and recording her organs.
"Well we have a cleanly sliced neck that severed the carotid artery, she would have bled out in a matter of minutes, it was precise, not unlike the work of Jonas Cobb, our Port to Port killer, however they wounds aren't as precise or as severe. Our killer is defiantly not trained to kill. Abby is trying to work out what type of knife was used, it was a clean blade. As I said at the crime scene, she had obvious defensive wounds, looking at the bruises it would have been around 7 hours before her death."
"Any distinct marks or anything?" Rossi asked.
"Other than the continuation of the sliced neck, I noticed there was skin under her fingers, I've sent that up to Abby, our forensic scientist, to see if we get a match. You know this case reminds me of when I was just a young lad in Edinburgh there was a copy cat killer, a young man trying to copy Jack the Ripper. It was all over the news, scared quite.."
Gibbs cut him off and said "Got it Duck"
Gibbs then grabbed Rossi by the shoulder and led him to the door.
