Criminal Minds2005

Aaron Hotchner:
We're looking for an LDSK, or a long-distance serial killer. He's a very skilled marksman with a god complex.

Derek Morgan:
He derives pleasure out of remaining unseen and determining the fates of people from afar.

Jennifer Jareau:
He's criminally sophisticated and methodical, concealing his method of ingress and egress, leaving little evidence behind in the sniper perches.

Alex Blake:
This suggests a great deal of experience, so this unsub has a military or a law enforcement background, possibly even Special Forces.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
His victims at first to be targets of opportunity, but it now appears that one or more of them are targets of choice. The remaining victims were collateral damage to be used as a forensic countermeasure; similar to what John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo did with the D.C. sniper case in 2002.

Derek Morgan:
This means there's some unknown connection between one or more victims at the first and second crime scenes.

Agent Tanya Mays:
What about the Caucasian male that an eyewitness saw at the plaza?

Derek Morgan:
It's something to consider, but we can't rule out others. We know that the unsub is likely in his late thirties to forties, in order to have the means and patience to plan and execute these attacks.

Aaron Hotchner:
If he still has specific targets, it's likely he won't wait long to attack, so the public needs to remain vigilant.
