Chapter 10
"Detective Miller? Are you sure? Got it, thanks David." Hotch shut his cell phone and looked at Morgan and Prentiss. "Detective Miller is our unsub."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Hotch. I hate Miller just as much as you do but it doesn't make sense. He was at the police station when the latest murder occurred. How do you explain that?" Morgan asked.
"He's a master manipulator. He got Mchale to take the fall for his first murder. Or at least, the first known murder. He could have easily threatened another family into killing the Loders." Agent Prentiss still wasn't convinced.
"Okay, but don't you think we would have recognized his voice? I listened to that tape, Hotch. That wasn't Robert Miller." Hotch thought about it, but Morgan answered.
"There's a number of possibilities there. Anyone can buy an app that changes your voice at the click of a button."
"But we profiled the unsub was not technologically savvy – at all. Do you really think he has a voice changing app on a smartphone?" Morgan answered her again.
"Then he got someone else to do it. He could have coerced anyone into recording that tape. And he probably had them make a second tape made that he could play at the Robins house over the intercom." Hotch listened as the two agents debated.
"Emily's right. He is our unsub, but we don't have enough evidence to arrest him yet."
"So, what's your suggestion?" Morgan asked. Hotch didn't hesitate.
"We need to search his office."
"At the police station? Without a warrant? Hotch are you crazy?"
"If we don't act soon, Randy Mchale's family will be dead. We'll do it quietly. Reid is at the police station now. I'll see if he can watch Miller and see when he goes in and out of his office." Hotch picked up his cell phone just as it began ringing. He looked at the Caller ID. "It's Reid." He flipped open the phone. "Reid, good timing. What? What do you mean she's gone? Reid, is Detective Miller in the building? We're on our way." Hotch hung up the phone and the SUV leaped forward as he pushed the gas pedal down.
"Hotch, what's going on?" Morgan asked from the backseat.
"Robert Miller just abducted Josselyn."
