Aaron Hotchner:
With four known victims, we should start by re-interviewing friends and family. We're looking for a white male in his thirties to forties. And with his knowledge of circuitry and wiring, we think that he's either an electrician or an electrical engineer.

David Rossi:
It's a job that may give him access to a victim's home or workplace, the opportunity to observe his targets.

Emily Prentiss:
They're attractive, professional women. He sees them as strong, righteous, unobtainable. So he seeks to tear them down, to reduce them to base sexual creatures and punish them.

Aaron Hotchner:
He's a true sexual sadist. A typology we refer to as anger-excitation, meaning he becomes sexually aroused by the suffering of his victims.

David Rossi:
Killing these women is an afterthought. Their pain is what he's after. And he takes his time, to exact maximum stimulation.

Philly Agent:
What about his trophies? He keeps their clothes, right?

Emily Prentiss:
Yes. We believe he's using them for rehearsal fantasies. By dressing as his victims, he can relive the torture. It's during this time that he most likely pleasures himself in order to reinforce his association between suffering and gratification.

Aaron Hotchner:
And when he becomes dissatisfied with this, he seeks out a new victim.

David Rossi:
Keep in mind he's been this for a long time, and he's been thinking about doing it most of his life. He'll continue to evolve, finding new ways of challenging himself, increasing his stimulation threshold. There are no boundaries for this man.
