Aaron Hotchner:
With this unsub, we're looking at a compound profile: a Type-4 delusional assassin with an erotomanic fixation on the actress Lila Archer.

Derek Morgan:
Erotomanics are a form of stalker who possess the delusional belief that another person, usually of a higher social status, is in love with them.

Elle Greenaway:
In the United States, at any given time, there are over 200,000 people being stalked. Our unsub is having a fantasy love affair with Lila Archer, the way John Hinckley did with Jodie Foster.

Aaron Hotchner:
Ms. Archer was not aware of her stalker until yesterday. He wasn't trying to impress her. He was more likely an unwanted, very violent guardian angel.

Jason Gideon:
When the stalker feels as if they've been in some way betrayed by their love object, this often leads to violence against the target.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
In the case of John Robert Bardo, when actress Rebecca Schaeffer took a role where she had to have a sexual relationship with another character, it was enough to force him to snap and seek her out to kill her.

Aaron Hotchner:
Though stalkers can be either male or female, it's most likely we're looking for a single male, a loner, in his late twenties to early forties, very intelligent, with ample time to follow his victim and study her habits.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
As of yet, the unsub has not directed any violence towards Ms. Archer. But he has shifted his focus from those around her to her directly.

Jason Gideon:
This doesn't preclude the fact that anyone who has the vaguest association with Ms. Archer is a potential target.
