Spencer and Morgan had the makings of a geographical profile, nailing the unsub somewhere in Springdale, which was twelve minutes east of the Lake. All the victims had been taken from Rogers, Fayetteville, Highfill, and Mayfield, which were all towns surrounding Springdale and Lake Elmdale. 

"Most necrophiliacs are older, even though there is the exception. I'd put our unsub at around thirty to fifty. It's a broad range, but the average age is usually closer to forty-five or fifty." Prentiss said as Spencer wrote the information down on the board. 

"White male, as well," Reid quipped. "Less than four percent of necrophiliacs are non-white males."

"Necrophilia is somewhat rare," you continued for him. "It is found in only four percent of cases, leading cannibalism by one percent. Of that four percent, it's only been recorded in cases of murder fifty-five times. Ninety-two percent of those fifty-five cases are male offenders, and the other eight percent is female. So, as Dr. Reid said, we are dealing with a male. This could also be assumed due to the traces of semen found in the victims." 

"So we're dealing with a white male, thirty to fifty." Morgan said. 

"Based on how aggressive the bruising is, it is likely that our unsub was assaulted as a child, possibly by a woman who looked like the victims," Hotch said, pointing to the pictures of the victims on the board. "All four victims, including the missing Linley Jones, were brunettes with hazel eyes. They all were single mothers with a son that is around the age of three to four. We can assume the unsub was molested at this age by a mother or aunt, or even family friend. If he didn't come to you guys once he was old enough to know better, which he probably didn't, it would have continued until he finally moved out. He's finding surrogates for his anger." 

The detectives and officers around the team glanced at each other before jotting the information in their notepads. 

"I'm sorry," an officer raised his hand. "My names Joseph Marley. A white male between the ages of thirty to fifty describes just about every male in Springdale. Are there any other defining factors we can go off of?"

You smiled kindly at the man. "Actually, yes there are. He'll be extremely awkward around women, especially those who are around the age his assaulter was. We can guess she was in her late twenties to early thirties. He'll work well with children, but he may work in an organization or church helping the toddler boys where he can care for them and quote unquote protect them from harm."

"He'll work someplace small, where he doesn't interact with people often. He'll have severe social anxiety." Spencer finished, turning the corners of his lips upwards as he glances over at you. 

Marley muttered a 'Thank you' and jotted the information down on his notepad. Hotch and the lead detective dismissed everyone except your team, and Morgan dialed up Garcia. 

"Y/N, Reid, repeat whatever the hell you just said to Garcia and tell her what to do." 

"Basically, we need you to cross reference white males thirty to fifty who volunteer to work with young toddler boys, ages three to four. In Springdale." You said, rolling your eyes at Morgan.
