Rossi said "Ok so what do these three young women have in common besides the obvious. They all were redheads, all early to mid twenties and all enlisted in the Marine Corps for the ability to get medical education or training. Beyond that they could have been in any random group of young women. Who would have an agenda or a stressor against them enough to decide that they should be randomly taken out of the world?"
Kate said "Well there are people living here who don't support the war in Iraq and or us sending troops to Afghanistan but this seems like an extreme way to say that. I am thinking something personal happened to whoever is doing this during the war. Like they lost someone or these women remind them of someone who took something else from them, like a marriage or a family. It happens with a separation of a deployment right?"
Morgan nodded. "Good theory but what connects them other than being stationed on the same military base and awaiting their trip overseas at the same time, were they friends , did they know each other socially or shop at the same mall or other stores? We need to go to their base housing and look at that even though that was not our primary crime scene for this unsub to hit."
JJ said "I can see if we can get on base to see their apartments for a few hours, it might help us figure out what evidence we are missing to lead us to where they were killed."
The other agents were down in Abby and temporarily Garcia's lab going through evidence boxes to see if there were any clues inside. They wanted to stop this person before they struck again."
Then the phone rang. "Yes Ducky." Abby replied. He said "I just reexamined my initial tox screen on the three women and they were given high doses of Benadryl , so whoever did this wanted the victims sedated before they were hung. And I would guess pre mortem as well. So you are looking for someone who can get large quantities of over the counter and prescribed medication and wouldn't be questioned for using it or dispensing it to individuals daily."
