"What have we got today?" Rossi sat down in his seat at the round table. Garcia pulled out the controller to the FBI screen and two images popped up. One was a picture of a man before his death, the second one after.
"Just under three weeks ago, Rodney Hall went missing around Cleveland Ohio, and three days later his body was found hanging from a traffic light. Poor guy was tortured, electrocuted, you name it. The same day Rodney was found, a second victim was presumed missing, and once again was found three days later, his name was Walter Lamb. Walter was found in the middle of the road, same torture methods, same death. This pattern continued with four more victims." The screen soon was showing all six victims.
"Garcia, was there anything the victims had in common with each other?" Hotch asked the blonde computer nerd.
"I searched and searched, trying to find a few helpful things. The only thing I got was they all were great students while attending school, most grades in the high 80's and 90's." She explained.
"If our UnSub is targeting people who were strong in academics, we could be looking at someone who is jealous of those smarter than themselves, and by eliminating competition, the UnSub feels more secure." Rossi informed the group, following up with Reid.
"Chances are that our UnSub either gets viewed or views themselves as an unintelligent person, which would cause them to lash out on others. These types of killers can be messy, but depending on their view of the situation, they could also be stealthy." The young investigator said.
"Garcia is there anyone missing at this time?" Morgan asked.
"Yes, William McArdney went missing over a day ago, last seen leaving a market, his mother says he never made it back home with the groceries. Williams car is still at the store." Garcia explained.
"An attack in broad daylight?" The question came to everyone's mind, JJ saying it aloud.
"With people entering and exiting the store, it'd be pretty hard to get away without someone noticing." Prentiss pointed out.
"Alright. Take a few minutes to gather your stuff, we're going to Ohio."

"Thank you so much for coming, I'm Agent Coallen, I spoke with you over the phone. You must be Agent Hotchner?" The man held out his hand. Hotch took it.
"Yes, call me Hotch. These are SSA's David Rossi, and Jennifer Jareau, as well as our technical analyst, Penelope Garcia." Hotch informed the man.
"I see. Is this the whole team?" Coallen asked.
"No, we have three other agents investigating crime scenes." JJ said.
"Alright. Is there anything I can do to get you guys all settled?" The agent smiled.

Morgan started with the first victim targeted. He went to where the victim was covered. The doctor looked over to him, so Morgan pulled out his badge.
"I'm Agent Morgan of the FBI, mam." He politely said. The doctor nodded.
"Yes, right. I'm Doctor Quakesar. Under the sheet is Rodney Hall, and there are indications of multiple beating and torture methods." The doctor explained. Morgan lifted up the sheet, and was astonished at the damage.

"You said a local pedestrian found him in the streets?" Prentiss asked the cop, who nodded in response.
"We received a call at approximately 4:35 in the morning from a lady panicking about a dead man in the middle of the road. Walter Lamb was found lying right here." The officer lifted up the yellow tape and showed the two agents the dried pool of blood.
"The blood seemed to spread around quickly, so when the body was dumped off, the victim was most likely alive at the time. It seems highly unreasonable that a wound from a certain extension of time before being dropped off would still be causing so much damage, our UnSub most likely caused the wound at the spot." Reid explained. The officer stood there, astonished for a moment before looking at Prentiss.
"Don't worry, sometimes I don't understand this kids mind either." She shook her head a bit.
