"The Pretty agent"
Chapter Six: Because I Said So
1x08: Natural Born Killer.*Trigger warning*
It was strange for Derek to be calling the team about a case, but they came nonetheless. They walk through the house Derek was taking the lead.
"I was teaching an in-service at the Baltimore Field Office when this came in. Baltimore PD's seen greasy stuff but never anything like this. We got two bodies ID, William and Helen Dimarco, retired, 57 years old, no kids. A neighbor reports a white male, twenty to forty years old fleeing the scene and I quote: hopped-up on those damn drugs."
" Eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable." Gideon replies as Derek leads them up a set of stairs.
" So far it sounds like a standard double homicide. Why are we here?" Hotch's questions are soon answered when they see the state of the crime scene; blood splatter was everywhere, even on the ceiling.
" Massive overkill. Helen Dimarco was found here. Tied to the chair in front of the vanity. No defensive wounds. Ligature marks on the wrists. One clean laceration from here to here." Derek points from one end of his neck to the other.
"Looks arterial, probably carotid, she went quickly." Eden says as everyone nods.
"The husband was found in the shower. But he wasn't quite as lucky. Ligature marks on the wrists and ankles and one long laceration up the abdomen through both layers and muscles."
" Evisceration, that's typical of disorganized behavior." Reid explains.
" Despite all the blood, this crime scene shows method, order, control, it says it's pretty organized." Elle says as Eden nods.
" There's also evidence of torture with the husband. Burns, contusions, lacerations... You name it this guy tried it"
"If torture is the unsub signature, the methodology is usually unique. A person who burns someone doesn't normally use a knife." Reid babbles.
"So Maybe we have more than one killer or we have one killer with more than one personality"
"We also have three victims. One on the vanity where the wife's body was found, her husband was in the shower. From the looks of the level of the ring in this tub, whoever was in it lost their entire blood volume."
" Approximately 10.6 pints."
" Which means the victim was dismembered."
" Looks like our guy took all the parts with him."
