Criminal Minds2005

Dr. Spencer Reid:
You know, rethinking the type of offender he was seven years ago, it's possible the UnSub didn't sexually assault Hope initially but waited until she was older.

Emily Prentiss:
Well, that would explain why he held on to her all this time. In his fantasy, he might envision Hope at a more desirable age.

David Rossi:
What story did he use to get into the support group?

Jennifer Jareau:
Well, he told them his pregnant wife committed suicide. Apparently they were trying to conceive for over a year.

David Rossi:
Hope couldn't bear the thought of bringing his child into this world, so she took what little control she did have and ended her life.

Emily Prentiss:
And that was never part of his plan. It turned his world upside down.

David Rossi:
He's not ready to let go of the bond he had with Hope.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
And now he's trying to get back what was taken from him.

Emily Prentiss:
Wouldn't it just be easier for him to start over again?

David Rossi:
Unless Monica could give him what he lost. Another Hope. He didn't take Monica to remind him of Hope, he took her to recreate her.
