Inside the conference room of Madison, Wisconsin's police department there was and assortment of police officers and detectives awaiting the profile from the BAU. The room was much like a larger version of the room the team had been given to work in. In this case though, the table had been pushed back to make room for more chairs that were set up like an Assembly. The room also included a large projection screen that they would later use to display the map of Midland park.
Aaron Hotchner stood up before the local officers and his team to begin. "The man we are looking for is the closest thing to a monster you will ever encounter," He said, immediately grabbing the attention of everyone in the room. "He feels no remorse or guilt for his actions and is unmoved by compassion. To him people are no more then a means to an end, especially women." He looked at Rossi to continue.
"For him it's all about the fear he instills in others. Simple rape is not enough for this guym he needs to make his victims suffer in the most extreme way possible," Rossi added, earning strange looks for the term simple rape. "He is a true sexual sadist."
"But after a certain amount of time, each new thing wears out. He starts needing more to achieve release," Morgan continued. "Right now he is holding two women at a time, forcing one to watch while he abuses the other, knowing that she is next. Before that he exposed you to the fact that he was out their. He did this by dumping the bodies in parks where they would be easily found."
"You mean he's been going at this since before the first body?" an officer in the back asked.
"A behavior like this doesn't just pop up over night," Rossi said. "He's had time to perfect his craft. Learn exactly what it is that excites him, and exactly how to get it."
"This means he is going to have a record," Emily said. "That record will and can include anything from pepping tom arrests as a minor to more recent domestic assault charges."
"You mean this guy was able to get a girl to stay with him?" Detective Burton asked. "What kind of woman would be with a man like that?"
"He wasn't like this in the beginning, or at least he didn't show it," Amy responded. "He masked his true identity until she fell in love and that's when he started asking her to deviate into his world of cruelty and torture. For a while she complied, but a sexual sadist had no use for a willing partner."
"That's when he became more aggressive and the domestic charges started popping up," Emily added. "She continued to stay with him for a while after that out of the love she first felt for him. But it eventually became to much and she left."
"How do you know he was in a relationship at all?" one of the officers asked.
"His victim type is to specific," Spencer said. "If it was just about torture and release, he could have chosen anyone. All of his victims have been white females in the late twenties with brown hair that is around shoulder length and slender body build. This suggests that there was a specific woman from his past that caused him a tremendous amount of pain. Because of that, he is targeting surrogates who look like her."
A few people in the room glanced in Amy's direction, making her slightly uncomfortable.
"Because of the age of the victim we believe the unsub is a white male who is also in his late twenties to early thirties," Aaron said. "He either owns or rents a building with enough space to hold his victims for the two weeks with out anyone noticing or hearing anything. He is intelligent and blends in with the crowd. Given the lengths he has gone to in order to abduct, control and expose his victims at the times he has chosen, it is unlikely you will find any physical evidence that he doesn't want you to find."
"So how do we find him?" Detective Burton asked.
"By going through criminal records on domestic disturbance and assault charges," Emily said. "Use the profile and try to find anyone who matches."
"We are also holding a press conference which will be run on the TV every hour," JJ said, speaking up for the first time during the profile. "We'll let the public know what type of woman is at risk and where they are most vulnerable. If nothing else it will shut down his victim pool and save lives."
"And if we haven't found him by tomorrow night," Aaron said, "We will catch him when he dumps Trisha's body."
"He's been dumping bodies at random parks all over the city," One of the officer's said. "How are you going to know which one to find him at? Do you have some sort of magic 8 ball?"
Detective Burton shot a nasty look at the officer, "You are out of line Johnson!"
The profiling team, who was used to that sort of attitude, just took it in stride. All except for Amy.
"Actually we do," She shot back. "It's called profiling. A really useful tool when you learn to accept it. For instance, we figured out that he is dumping the victims at the same park where he abducted the most recent previous victim."
The room fell silent, Amy's point having cearly gotten across that you don't mess with the team. Each member of the BAU was in some way silently cheering her on inside. That included her brother, who as her boss should have reprimanded her for the unprofessional behavior.
"Marie Edwards was taken from Midland park," Spencer said, breaking the silence. "That's where he will bring Trisha if we don't find her in time."
"If that happens, we have narrowed it down to 3 separate locations with in the park that he will most likely bring her," Derek said. At this point JJ had put the map up on the projection screen. Derek point to the 3 locations. "Now these are still big areas, so we are going to scout them in advance to prepare for the possibility that we have to catch him there."
"Agent Jareua and Reid will stay behind to go over old domestic case files as well as filter any call with possible information," Aaron said. "The rest of us will go out to Midland park and evaluate the area."
After Aaron finished his sentence, the entire room mobilized to their different tasks.
