It has been days I was experiencing "DVD-withdrawal" syndrome...finally, I bought the (pirated) criminal mind season 3 as my fix...damned! It's heaven...It's really good to feel that my life has something to go on.
Here's the pilot case of episode season 3.
There has been murders in a campus. 4 female victims in 3 days, so it's calssified as a spree murder case. Victims all shared some common features: no defensive wounds, multiple stab wounds to the chest, no hesitation marks, Brunnetts, electiical shock marks, found with both hands crossed in anterior of chest. Two of the crime scenes were well lit place in the campus.
Agent Giddeion suggested that investigation should be carried out and profile be made ASAP because this was a killing in a confinced place. This kind of spree killer will kill as many as they can, as fast as they can...this was like a game to them. Killing in this confined campus makes them fell secure because this is thier nodes of mobility, i.e. the place that they are familiar with, and spend most of thier daily life there, whether for thier job, entertainment, or on thier way to some place on thier daily basis.
Hence, after establishing the pace of this profiling, time's for modus operandi (MO). Most bodies were found in well lit places in campus -- this indicates that the unsub (unknown subject) is a part of this campus, either he/she works here or study here. He is not afraid being noticed in the campus because no one will suspicious with his presence in campus. Anyone of the campus, may see or know him. Next, there is no defensive wound, means the victims may not be alerted when he was there or he may even talked to the victims which may suggest that victims feel secured with his presence while each of them was alone before being killed. Electrical shock wounds means he carries the tools before attacking those victims, he is well planed. No hesitation marks, mens the victims were killed merciless, and the unsub is sure (not hesitant) about he wants to kill those victims. However, in this special case, the position of crossed hands in front of chest is contrasting that the unsub is merceless, but he is in remorse. He felt guilty moments after killing those girls.
Next, victimology. The unchanged pattern with all 3 victims are white Burnnets means the stressor in this case may be a person, girlfriend, mother, wife ect., who may exactly is a white Burnnets. No hesitation marks and the way of positioning bodies give us the clue that the unsub has a conflicted and mixed feelings of hate and love to the stressor. Since the murders just occured few days earlier, his relationship with the stressor must have some changes exactly days, or weeks ago. The emotional transition period in unsub is still in early phase, so he most probably expresses some obvious devolution in his life which his surrounding peoples, colleages / friends might have noticed, e.g. depressed, drinking, irritable etc.
Okay, now with the MO and victimology analysis, the BAU draft a profile ... which they successfully made an arrest of a security guard who matched almost all the profile. Stressor? He lost his daughter custody to his exwife...who you guess, is a white Brunnets. Since there's no physical evidence, he can only be held for 72 hours.
You thinks the case is just be goin on like this? The police finally found a piece of comfirmative evidence? No no no... there's another killling within the 72 hours.
The victim this time is also a white Brunnet female. But, there has been some change in the MO: the victim suffered blunt force trauma to the head, and this time, some of the stab wounds are more shallow -- hesitation marks.
The last murder is least likely to be commited by the first unsub, i.e. we have a copycat in this case. Thus, Agent Gideon suggested a solution... he released the first unsub. And he expect the copy cat to meet with the unsub because copycats are people who admiring the primary killer, and they are mostly keen to seek for confirmation from the primary killer to make them feel satisfy...Gideon was right! But....
It ended up the copycat killed the unsub and then killed herself (copycat is a she).
What a twist! Criminal Mind apparently hasn't lost his unique assence in crime series! But, in this episode, it was also told that Gideon's judgement might be clouded by Sarah's death... and it's fact that Gideon is going to leave BAU soon...how sad! :(
Anyway, this is the pilot case of criminal mind season 3 -- and I hope this show will be going on for long time!
