Jennifer Jareau:
I'm not sure what we have here, but I just got a call and some case files from a Sheriff Samuels in Uinta County, Wyoming. Six nights ago, two different teens were found hanging in their bedrooms.

Aaron Hotchner:
Hanging?

Jennifer Jareau:
Trish Leake was dead when she was found. Ryan Krouse was revived on scene, but then died a few days later in the hospital.

[Hotch glances at the files and looks at JJ skeptically]

Jennifer Jareau:
I know we don't handle suicides. But the previous Friday, two more boys a few towns over were found hanging on the backs of their doors.

Aaron Hotchner:
Four successful suicides in the same rural county in a week? That's, uh, way above the national average.

Jennifer Jareau:
I know. These kids don't fit the pattern. No drug or alcohol abuse, no antidepressants, no prior arrests. These are just plain good kids who decided to hang themselves at approximately the same time on a Friday night. When someone feels trapped in what feels like a hopeless situation, pulling the trigger or swallowing pills or hanging yourself seems like the only way out. None of that seems to exist here. Something's really wrong. Hotch, I can feel it.
