"The man we are looking for is a physically fit white male, between the ages of 25 and 35." Hotch was standing in front of a group of sheriff's deputies.
"He most probably looks younger than he actually is," Morgan continued. "This allows him to blend in with the student population of a college or university."
"He comes across as non-threatening," Blake picked up the description. "This allows him to get close to the woman he has targeted."
"He owns a vehicle, probably a late model sedan with a large enclosed trunk space," was JJ's contribution. "And, although it may appear clean on the outside, the interior most likely hasn't been cleaned out in quite a while – Particularly the trunk area."
"He also harbors a great deal of suppressed rage," Reid pointed out. "This means that once he gets the woman under control, he immediately begins his routine of subduing, torturing, and eventually killing them."
"You need to remember that regardless of how he looks, this man is extremely dangerous," Rossi concluded. "If you do think you have spotted him, use caution when approaching and speaking with him."
"Any questions?" Hotch concluded the presentation.
"What about the little green men from Mars?" The deputy seemed embarrassed by his question.
"People are asking," he added by way of explanation.
"We are not considering any of them as suspects," Rossi replied seriously. "And, if someone does ask you, no one has actually seen any solid evidence of their presence in the area."
"Anything else?"
The remaining the questions were quickly handled and, after the officers had dispersed, Hotch gathered his team.
"Blake, you and Reid go talk with Dr. Chung at Center Line Labs." he began handing out assignments. "See what she can tell you about Dr. Snow. Also, see if anyone at the lab has any knowledge of old medical specimens that may have been left behind."
"Great!" Reid shouldered his messenger bag. "I have been wondering about the effect the full moon has on the efficiency of medicinal plants. It has been partially proven that – "
"And, Morgan and Rossi – Why don't you go with them?" Hotch interrupted. "You can check out the field where Dr. Snow was supposedly working. Look for any access roads and see if he could have left and come back without anyone noticing."
"JJ, you and I are going to get with Sheriff Larkin and write a press release related to these sightings," Hotch concluded. "Apparently, thanks to statements being made by Dr. Hayward, the sheriff's office has been inundated by calls about alien invasions and little green men and we need to put a stop to it. Any questions?"
"None whatsoever!" Blake, Rossi, Reid, and Morgan chorused as they headed out the door.
