Quotes 

• Aaron Hotchner : We're looking for a physically fit male from his late twenties to mid-thirties.He's brazen, confident, and organized.

  Derek Morgan : This person may be a moral vigilante. Abby Stafford had drug issues, Gloria Carlyle moved in with her boyfriend, Parker Mills was a sexual deviant.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Moral vigilantism typically has its roots in repression and guilt. This generally manifests itself in low self-esteem and self-loathing. By punishing others, the unsub may also be punishing himself.

  Aaron Hotchner : He's also literally branding his victims. We're not sure why, but he's likely marking them as his own.

  Alex Blake : His organizational skills suggest someone who can get and keep a full-time job.

  David Rossi : But the work is likely low-level. His impaired social development would not allow him to move very far in the professional world.

  Jennifer Jareau : Consequently, this is someone most comfortable working in solitude, having minimal interaction with others.

  Derek Morgan : And this makes it a challenge to determine how and where this person is choosing his victims.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : The two female victims were reserved and studious; Parker Mills lived quietly in the margins of conventional society.

  Jennifer Jareau : So the killer may frequent or work in locations that attracts this type of person. Uh, places of solitude, contemplation.

  Alex Blake : Museums, gardens and parks, bookstores.

  David Rossi : His choice of a city square, rather than a remote canyon, means he's gaining confidence.

  Derek Morgan : But the recklessness of killing in such a public space suggests that this confidence may be stemming from a delusion.

  Jennifer Jareau : He may believe he's in a place in time that makes him invulnerable.

  Aaron Hotchner : And if his delusion is gaining in strength, then his next killing may be riskier and more dramatic. Thank you.

  David Rossi : Well, I guess this is proof positive that ancestry ain't all bad.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Cheers!

  Derek Morgan : Cheers!

  Jennifer Jareau : Cheers!

  David Rossi : Salute!
