After speaking briefly with Mr. Blackburn, Amy took his place at the table and he walked over to where Hotch and Morgan were standing.
"Agents," he said, holding out his hand. "Larry Blackburn. I understand you have some questions for me."
"Agents Hotchner and Morgan," Hotch introduced himself and Derek as he shook hands with the retired teacher.
Mr. Blackburn glanced around to see if anyone could overhear their discussion. "Maybe we should go someplace else," he suggested.
"Probably a good idea," Hotch agreed. "Where do you suggest?"
Mr. Blackburn led the way, and soon the three men were seated in a nearby empty office.
"Now, what can I help you with?" Mr. Blackburn asked. "I would assume it has something to do with one of my former students."
"I am going to describe a person to you," Hotch explained. "Let me know if it sounds like anyone you have taught over the years."
"This description may not match exactly," Morgan contributed. "But, if it sounds close, we need to know."
"Understood," Mr. Blackburn responded.
"We are looking for a student who was extremely interested in dissecting," Hotch began. "And, they would possibly have expressed a desire to dissect a human body."
"Is that what is being done to these women?" Mr. Blackburn jumped ahead. "That's horrible!"
"They would have been very quiet, to the point where you might have forgotten they were in the classroom," Hotch continued. "They probably would have come across as being 'slow' but, in actuality they had above average intelligence."
"Does this description sound familiar?" Morgan asked.
"Let me think," Mr. Blackburn got a far away look in his eyes. "Not really," he concluded after a short time. "However, there have been several extremely quiet students with above average intelligent that I have taught over the years."
"This would have been a male," Morgan added.
"Yes, I remember several," Mr. Blackburn told the agents. "Would you like me to write down the names?"
He took a pen out of his pocket as Hotch handed him a piece of paper.
