Chapter 4

They all met back at the station where Emily and Reid we what to JJ looked like pretty pattern's on the board as she spoke "I hope you two understand that" JJ said not really paying attention as she poured herself a coffee "We have a system" Reid said happily "Don't you two always have a system?" Hotch said as he walked over to the board.

"Can I ask why you have" Morgan stopped as Emily smiled "Because we are thinking it is all related, just go with us for a moment, I have asked Garcia to search further back as well so we are just waiting for her to ring but this is what we have so far" Emily said just as JJ's phone rung "I got to take this" she said heading straight back out the door.

"Andrew Roberts 35 missing 6 months after he found his dog had been killed" Emily said as she pinned some more information under the picture's

"Sandra Wills 31 missing 6 months after also finding her dog had been killed, both happened within two months of each other," Emily pointed out

"William Porter 30 missing a year later 6 months after he also found his dog dead" she paused slightly "Two months later the same thing with Julia Peters 26" Emily said as she looked to see if they were following their trail of thoughts.

"Matthew Johnson 20 missing family dog killed, same 6 months difference's parents reported him missing after he didn't come home one night" Emily circled his photo.

"And the last person reported missing with the same pattern is Susan Ellis 17" Emily looked at Reid as he took over.

"Now looking at this you would first think it was just coincidence but like Garcia found out their bank accounts have never been touched and since there cards have never been found we can only think that they had them with them" Morgan looked at them both "Not that hard if you want to disappear" he commented as Emily smiled "That's kind of what Reid said but, this is a small town nothing much happens and it is highly unlikely that these 10 people just disappeared without a trace" Emily pointed out.

"What does this have to do with the missing teenagers?" Rossi asked slightly puzzled "Oh I will let Reid explain this" Emily smirked

"At first glance they seemed unrelated but as I managed to point out to Emily there were two people who killed each of the dogs aside from the last two which the cuts were made by one person, human DNA were found on the first six animals which Garcia is running for us now as well as seeing if similar things like this have happened before"

"So let me get this straight, you are thinking they are all related because?" Emily chuckled slightly at Morgan as he spoke "The first few are as though a young adult did them but still unsure of how deep to cut until the last two animals, now Reid noticed this the cut that killed the first 6 were made by someone who is left handed but the hesitation cuts and the last two dogs that have been killed were all done by someone who is right handed" Emily said as she pointed to the blown up images of the animals.

"So how far back are you thinking?" Rossi asked as he looked at the pictures and information on the boards more closely "I have asked Garcia to go back at least 20 years, it can't be the first time this unsub has killed" Hotch cut in "You think he is what training someone?" he asked

"I think he is" Emily hand placed two blank pieces of paper up with the number one and two "This one is the left handed one, we are thinking he is the alpha and has done this before" Emily said before pointing at the other blank paper "And this unsub is younger maybe early 20's though his last two kills were effective enough the vets me and Reid spoke to said they were made by someone younger as the dogs didn't die straight away not enough force behind it and still had slight tells of hesitation near the final cut"

"I have been working on this map locations of where they lived and where they were last seen, their paths all crossed at some point within a few miles of where the kids were camping" Reid added

"Keep working at that, I think you maybe on to something," Hotch said just as JJ returned.

JJ eyes casted onto the board finally, as she looked at what Emily and Reid had come up with, she gasped slightly as she held on to the chair next to her "Why is there a picture of Carly up there?" JJ asked as she frowned slightly. As she then focused on Williams's picture.

Reid looked at her for a moment "Carly?" Reid asked slightly puzzled, Emily's eyes looked between JJ and the board as she spoke "JJ which one?" Emily said in a very soft tone "Sandra" JJ stepped back slightly and I know him as well" JJ said as her voice wavered slightly "Who" Emily pushed slightly "William" JJ said in a hushed voice as her legs shook.

"JJ, how do you know these people?" Hotch asked as he had already heard Ms Rogers mention her before, JJ sighed as her eyes fixed solely on Emily as she spoke "Carly and me grew up together and as you may have guessed from earlier Hotch we were dating, William was on the athletics team at our school as well" JJ said softly.

"So they moved here?" Reid asked as Emily approached JJ "Jen" she said softly resting her hand on her shoulder "They left town, but I didn't know they had moved here," JJ said as tears formed in her eyes. Hotch nodded as Morgan handed her a tissue "Thanks" she said with a soft but sad smile.

"Is there anything you can tell us about them, which might help?" Rossi asked, "Not really, I haven't seen them in over 15 years" JJ said as she looked at Emily. "You never kept in contact?" Reid asked, JJ shook her head slightly "We drifted apart about a month before they moved" Reid's phone pulled their attention though Emily stayed close to JJ as he answered "Your on speaker Garcia"

"Hello my fellow fighting kittens" Garcia voice, chirped into the room causing both Rossi and Hotch to raise their eyebrows slightly "Garcia?" Hotch said in a slight warning tone "Yes?" she joked back as Emily cut in "Did anything turn up in the search I asked for?" the pout of Garcia's voice came through the speaker "you spoiled my fun" Emily held her hands up slightly as she looked at Hotch, who rolled his eyes.

"Well now, this is something else Emily" she said in a slight sarcastic tone "Garcia" Hotch warned, "What did you find?" Emily asked again "Well I dug back like you asked going back over 20 years though, there is a case that is cold that bears some resemblance to this, a group of four teenagers were reported missing from that exact same area, but no bodies have ever turned up" JJ's breath hitched slightly "There aren't any crime photos but they were last known area was around Carters Lane on the outskirts of the town" Emily fell quite as she rested her hand on JJ's shoulder as she spoke "Anything else?" Emily asked her voice slightly shaken "Nothing since, would you like me to widened my search?" she asked as JJ's voice cut in. "Widen it to East Allegheny area" JJ said as she gripped Emily's hand, as the tone of her voice shook. "Will do my fury friend, PG out"

Emily closed her eyes slightly as JJ's shaky voice echoed into the room "Hotch we need to talk"
