--Daytime—
The flight did not take long, and as soon as the wheels hit runway the team separated. Morgan and Reid were led through a small wooded area in a park; there was a shallow grave a crude cross and not much else. The crime scene officers had cleared the scene earlier so the trio could walk the area and get a feel for the unknown suspect.
"What do you see?" Aaron Hotchner asked both agents.
Morgan looked around. "Secluded area, but not isolated. The unsub had to work fast and quietly to avoid being detected."
Reid looked at the burial site. "This is just a dump site; the killing was done someplace else.
It was a statement that was totally obvious; the place was in a semi-populated area, with joggers and people going by. The ground contained no signs of a struggle, and no branches, or shrubs were disturbed.
Reid then inhaled to say more. "There are no signs of anything besides the burial, and once done the unsub made sure to conceal their tracks in and out." He then reasoned. "The unsub no doubt watched this area regularly to figure out what times were the most uninhabited."
