"19-year-old Kate Joyce, an honor student, was vacationing at the beach with friends when she disappeared nearly three days ago," Garcia presented the case, handing out the tablets, giving Reid a personal file. "Atlantic Beach detective Bob Mathias, they've had suspects in custody the whole time, but nothing. Can't even charge them with anything unless they find her body."
They finished the profile on the plane, only about twelve hours to find her before they could let the boys go. Reid closed the file, setting it on the table in front of him. "I read up on the suspects, presents like the typical dominant/submissive, but I doubt it's textbook."
"Syd Pearson has a lot of money and connections," Mara replied from next to Reid. "If we let him go, we may never see him again. And Barrett? He doesn't have the same resources."
"Do you think these guys did it?" Emily asked.
"The locals do," Hotch answered. "They tried to get them to turn against one another, but that didn't work. It seems they have a bond that dates back to childhood."
"We only have a thirty-minute flight," Morgan replied. "That's not enough time to delve into their histories."
"Bullet points on the missing woman," Garcia said through the computer. "Second and third pages are all about the suspects."
"Garcia, we're gonna need phone records, credit card receipts, anything you can find." Hotch said to the girl.
"Yes, you'll have them when you get there."
"Let's review this again before we land." Hotch said as Mara opened her file again.
"Kate Joyce was last seen leaving a bar with these two men, Sydney Pearson and James Barrett, both 20 years old," Emily read. "She was reported missing the next morning when she didn't meet her friends."
"That was almost three days ago," Mara furrowed her eyebrows. "Their story is they dropped Kate at the motel, but there were no cameras to confirm that."
"And Search and Rescue's been all over the island," Hotch added. "Dragged the inlets, and they found absolutely nothing."
"Both said they had sex with Kate. They're claiming it was consensual," Morgan said. "There's no way to confirm. There's no body."
"I doubt it was consensual." Reid said.
"We've got to prove they're guilty of more than just being seen with her." Rossi said.
"Well, the police weren't able to find any holes in their stories," Hotch said to everyone. "We're gonna have to break them down psychologically. Morgan, I want you and Tate to lead the interrogation. Dave, you and Reid start at the bar. JJ and Prentiss, Kate Joyce's family is still at the station."
