Aaron Hotchner:
It's possible we're dealing with a terrorist organization with one man at the center. We're basing our profile on his motivation.

Derek Morgan:
We believe these children were abducted by a preferential offender who targets pre-pubescent boys.

Alex Blake:
Our unsub is likely a male in his forties, with some military or law enforcement training.

Jennifer Jareau:
We think he has a secluded location that provides enough privacy to hold his victims captive for several years.

David Rossi:
In that time, he breaks these kids down, rebuilds them to be hardened soldiers.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
We believe they're suffering from an extreme case of Stockholm syndrome. Much like Patty Hearst, who came to view the SLA as her new family and the rest of the world as adversaries, we believe he's attempting to instill this same feeling within his army.

Derek Morgan:
He likely uses military torture techniques to get his victims to see his enemies as their own.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
He puts them through a rigorous and punishing military training regimen in order to prepare them mentally and physically for his war.

Derek Morgan:
And once this happens, the physical threats stop and the reprogramming begins.

Jennifer Jareau:
And now that he has their trust, he maintains this connection by bolstering them with love and affection.

David Rossi:
His connection to them is important. It ensures once they're released, they will not deviate from their orders.

Alex Blake:
His ultimate target has yet to be determined, but it could be as broad as American citizens.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
These attacks have been well orchestrated, methodical, and extremely violent in order to maximize destruction and panic.

Aaron Hotchner:
Which is why we need to get ahead of him in order to prevent more bloodshed. But in order to do that, we need to identify the source of his rage.
