New Girl(A Spencer Reid/Criminal Minds Fan-fiction) BOOK ONE

Chapter Six: Family Murders and Missed Vacations

"He's so gorgeous."

"Thank you." Mrs. Hotcner and brought the new baby into the BAU, and JJ, Garcia, Spencer, and I stood around him.

"If you fine baldness and wrinkles attractive." Spencer said.

"It's not quite that literal, Spencer." I told him.

"Look at his wittle itty bitty nose." Garcia cooed. Morgan came up in between Garcia and I. "Don't you want one of these?"

'Mm, I'll stick to practicing." I rolled my eyes. Elle came up.

'Congradulations."

'Thanks."

'Thank you." His wife said.

"She's amazing. I'm a little terrified."

"Well, uh, we should get going."

"Ok."

"Pleasure seeing you, Mrs. Hotchner." Spencer said. I looped my arm through his and we walked into the conference room. I sat down next to Spencer.

"Crawford family, murdered three days ago in their home."

"Saw it on the news." Morgan added as he came in.

"They were found in the basement of their house."

"Bags packed for a vacation they never took."

"Reporter said it was a murder/suicide." Morgan said. "Father stabbed the mom then shot himself."

"That's the conclusion Maryland state police came to." JJ told him. "The gun was found next to the father, had gun powder residue on his right hand."

'And now you must have some compelling reason to think that Chris Crawford didn't off his family?"

"Yeah. Another murdered family. The Millers, found a month ago. The mother, Reese Miller, her two children, and her new husband. Again, they were found in the basement, and like the Crawfords, their suitcases were packed for a vacation."

'Both cases the bodies were discovered Five days after their vacations were supposed to have started." Gideon said.

"Yet, the coroner determined that they had only been dead twenty four hours."

"So, for four days, both families remained in the house." Spencer added.

"Locations of the bodies, both cases, the basement. That indicates level of organization."

"With a quick but disorganized application of overpowering force."

"If these aren't murder suicides, then someone's doing a darn good job of making them look like it." I said.

"Possibly this man, Eric Miller. Biological father of the Miller children. Arligton P.D. issued a bolo for Miller after the bodies were discovered."

"Ex wife, Reese Miller had a restraining order against him for domestic violence."

"When she get remarried?" Morgan asked.

"A week before they were killed."

"Violent husbands believe their wife and children are property.Reese Miller getting re-married probably made him snap."

"Well the Virginia cops finally located Eric Miller last night, responding to a drunken disturbance at a motel where Miller had been hiding out. When they found him, they discovered blood on his black leather jacket. Belonged to his children."
