"know your strengths. rely on them. confidence, real or pretend, is your magic ingredient." confidence. yes, i like that. come on, guys, you don't think there's actually anything to that stuff, do you? you'd be surprised. it's gibberish. thank you. oh, you are just jealous because you don't have the magic ingredient. i have the magic ingredient. it's called splen. all right, skeptic, what's your sign? no. uh-oh.
5:03 pm
ah, 7:12 a., october 12, 19- hey! libra--i should have known. "a romantic opportuny may experience a slight hitch "thanks to the pesky lunar influence "which could have you dipping into a rather chilly mood. "if being demonstrative and warm is difficult, "then neutralize this temporary cold front with a simple but affectionate gesture." i have a simple gesture. hey. you guys ready to gather? well, look at you, miss thing. first day back and you're all business. well, it's either dive right in or confront my separation anxiety. it's tough being away fr him, huh? yeah. oh, hey, that's new, isn't it? yeah, citrine. it's henry's birthstone. will and i both got one. oh, that's sweet. you done with this? thank you. all yours. there's been a string of abductions in olympia, washington, going back 9 months. 4 women in all, blond, blue-eyed, early 20s. this morning they found one. when were ey taken? 9 months ago.
5:04 pm
looks almost mummified. uh, not exactly. frozen? embalmed. that's different. yeah. so the time of death is a bit of a question mark right now. where did they find her? in a state park just east of olympia. seasonal hiking area. the body was jarred loose during a mudslide. that, plus the abnormal decomp makes it difficult to know how long she was there. it saythe victims were abducted about 3 months apart. he's rotating his victims out.
5:05 pm
captioning made possible by abc studios, llc and cbs, inc. hey! searching for a great used car? you got it.
5:06 pm
where now you can search with the power of carfax . just say "show me cars with no accidents reported!" boom. or how about, "show me cars with only one owner." pretty coo plus we're the only site where you get a free carfax report with eve car listing. so find the cars you want avoid the ones you don't.
5:07 pm
some of my competitors plan to reduce the use of antibiotics over the next few years. but what are you having for dinner tonight? try perdue simply smart and harvestland . two trusted perdue brands of chicken raised with no antibiotics ever. i'm home. everything's fine.
5:08 pm
luckily, no one cleans and kills germs better than clorox disinfecting wipes. jj: "and so, all the night tide "i lay down by the side "of my darling, my darling, "my life and my bride, "in the sepulcher there by the sea, in her tomb by the sounding sea." edgar allan poe. so if i wanted to embalm a body, well, what's the process? start with some nose plugs. the blood is drained through the jugular vein and placed with embalming fluid through one of the two major arteries. it usually takes a few hours. then you'd need special equipment, training. knowledge of the human vascular system would also be a plus. a doctor, maybe. a nurse, technician, somebody with a background
5:09 pm
now, theres a major they didn't offer at my school. personally, the whole thing just seems weird to me. embalming, i mean. some people like to look good for their funeral. but it's not them. it's just a shell, polished and painted. i just want to be cremated. the question is why somebody would embalm the by of someone they just murdered. he wants to hold on to them. it's a possession issue. this way they can never leave. maybe fear of abandonment speaks to his history. but eventually even an embalmed body will decay and he finds himself in need of new victims. that explains the abduction cycle-- a new victim every 3 months. which means at least 2 of the remaining women are already dead. and the third? brooke lombardini. it's been 4 days since she, uh, disappeared following her shift at a local restaurant. we know the odds. 90% of all abduction victims
5:10 pm
hiker found a foot protruding from the soil right up here. whole side of the hill slid down from up there. so you're focusing the search in this area here. yeah, but if he dumped other bodies here, he's got over 800 acres to work with. keep your men near the fire road, detective. one man dragging a body through the woods... 110 pounds of dead weight, he's not gonna get far from the path. that's why a lot of killers dismember their victims. they're easier to dispose of that way. you think it says something about the profile, he didn't chop her up? possibly, yeah. what is it? uh, detective. we got--we got something up here. the answer to your question, detective, is yes,
5:11 pm
he cares for them. brooke worked the closing shift the night she disappeared. she uld have walked this way to her car. upscale restaurant? well, let's just say that i don't go unless it's on someone else's dime. what are you thinking? these women were taken as they left work. high-end spa, nice restaurant, jewelry store. if he patronizes these businesses, then he's go it narrows the profile a little. e co said that he left just a few minutes after brooke. saw her car there, driver's side door open. he was quick. surprised her. 11 p.m., it was dark, he had cover. she probably never saw him coming. it says in here they recovered her necklace, amethyst, broken chain? right here, right next to the car. did you process the necklace? couldn't get anything off of it. just some hair in the clasp. hers. i'd like to take a look at it. yeah, well, i gave it back to her mother.
5:12 pm
to be returning evidce to the family? there were special circumstances. she hired so guy by the name of, uh, stanley usher. he helped find a kid in portland a couple years ago prentiss: private investigator? hic. uh...what does that have to do with the necklace? apparently he can read personalhings... their aura. i don't know. so what did he tell her? i know brooke is still alive. it's not too latethe riin let her come home to me. she turns 27 on wednesday. wish she would have waited awe cto coach her. i don't know, she seems to be doing a pretty good jo good enough to make the unsub think twice about killing brooke. if he hasn't already. chances are this is all too late. 's her daughter. she has to have hope, right? hope's one thing. false hope is something else.
5:13 pm
ah. not by choic you know, there cases where people believe they've helped. when people are vulnerle, they'll believe a lot of thi we think the man who took her, uh, may ha come by her work. a customer, someone she may have talked about. we think this man is a loner. he would dine by himself, make frequent visits but he's shy, avoids eye contact. she got asked out sometimes. no, this man wouldn't have asked her out. he wouldn't have had the courage. he would have stared at her, made her uncomftable. i've told the police everything i know. you shldn't be here. you shou the clues. right. clues from brkeneckce. . it's called token object reading, or pshotry. yeah. you're not my first.
5:14 pm
and the numbers 8, 6, 7. doeshat help you? so, mr. usher, by touching a personal item, you think that you can tell if someone's alive oread. sometimes. see, aer ps an impression on everything they touch. it allows me to connect with them. the hard part is interpreting what i'm given. did you get anything else, uh, about her condition? only tha felt weakened, tired. i don'know, uh... heavy. heavy. can i talk to you for a second? [cl excuse m i've been around a little, and i've seen guys like you come into the lives of grieving families. uryou, that's not what-- listen to meng this woman needs
5:15 pm
aue resct, sir, you may not know at your job is to know the perpetrato we're not talking j. well, maybuld be because there are a lot of people out there who don't believe in what you do, either. i just got a call. they found a third body. annette hagen, erin bonham, and melissa st. claire, all embalmed. that's the first 3. at leaves the lombardini girl still out there. did you figure out cause of death? blood loss. blood loss? they were alive when they were embalmed? looks that way. sctoreens show significant levels of barbiturate. they were sedated, maybe cious. reid, look at thisth all have the same haircut. these are recent photos. these two had much longer hair at theime of their abduction. so the unsub cut it. something else he may have done. their ears have all been double-pierced.
5:16 pm
not exactly. there was no tearing or bruising that would normally suggest it. but i did find trace amounts of semen. you're saying it may have been consensual? no. she's saying they were dead. don't let a cracked windshield ruin your plans. trust safelite. with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" you'll know exactly when we'll be there.
5:17 pm
(team sing) safelite repair, safelite replace. uh, hello geico?... yeah, i was just talking about your emergency roadside service and how it's available 24/7 and then our car overheated... what are the chances? can you send a tow truck please? uh, the location? you're not going to believe this but it's um... it's in a tree. i wish i was joking, mate, but it's literally stuck in a tree. (car horn honking) a chainsaw? no, no, all we really need is a tow truck. day or night, geico's emergency roadside service is there for you. even when you're taking an antidepressant, you may still be struggling with depression. you try to put on a brave face. but inside, the symptoms linger. in fact, 2 out of 3 people taking an antidepressant may still experience unresolved symptoms. when added to your current antidepressant,
5:18 pm
to reduce symptoms of depression. it may help you feel better without giving up the progress you may have made with yr current antidepressant. rexulti is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual changes in behavior, worsening depression, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in those 24 and younger. elderly dementia patients taking rexulti have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor i you have high fever, stiff muscles, and confusion to address a possible life-threateng condition or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these may be permanent. high blood sugar was reported with rexulti and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks are increased cholesterol, weight gain... decreased white blood cells, which can be serious dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. don't give up on the progress you may have made with your current antidepressant. talk to your doctor about adding rexulti. and feel better about facing the world.
5:19 pm
visit rexulti.com for details. not yet. not yet! pull the peach! mmmm, yoplait. tt:w`tif`n9*mj6 `p _j
5:20 pm
do you take walk-ins? i'll make an exception. kenmore pro. exclusively sold at sears. oh hon, why is this a wine fridge now and not a freezer for my leftover christmas gravy? check the freezer freezer. oh! let's get this chardonnay and gravy party started. (squeak and giggle) i spoke to the families. none of the victims had double-pierced ears at the time of their abduction. cutting hair and piercing ears.
5:21 pm
into what, though? into who. the burial suggests an affection for his victims. which says he might be remaking them into the image of a loved one. the m.e. found high levels of baiturate? yeah. why? just, uh, something the psychic said-- that brooke felt tired, heavy. why are we talking about the psychic? it's a scam. these guys talk without saying anything and you fall for it. well, he said that brooke's alive, so i guess i just want to believe him. jj, you know the profile. a necrophiliac has no use for a live victim. you ready to talk to them? [dialing cell phone] garcia, i need you to run a full background check for me. name's usher, stanley usher. by now we know the dna found on the victims did not match anyone inhe system, so we're gonna have to look beyond physical evidence to identify the killer. our unsub is a white male in his mid- to late 20s, and he has money.
5:22 pm
there's enough space and ventilation to accommodate an embalming suite. he's awkward with people, especially women. an inability to relate cially is common in homicidal necrophiles. because of the alterations to the bodies, we believe the unsub is attempting to recreate a woman he once loved. like a girlfriend? or a wife, a mother. someone who left or died suddenly. this projection of the loved one coupled with his need to preserve the victims through embalming is similar to the psychopathology of serial murderer ed gein. gein had an oedipal complex which deveped in the years he nursed his paralyzed mother back from a stroke. after she died, his obsession compelled him to dig up corpses of women who resembled his mother. so persistent was his desire to resurrect his dead mother that he actually dressed in female suits fashioned from human skin. eventually, gein grew unhappy with the flesh of dead bodies, which had a ndency to dry and crack, so he shifted his focus to live viims whose bodies he could better preserve. the evolution from dead to live victims will also be mirrored in our unsub's maturation.
5:23 pm
prior to 2006. you're gonna want to follow up on these. now, they are inappropriate postmortem conduct, cadaver theft, and graveyard disturbances. 60% of necrophiles work in the death business, so be sure to canvass local cemeteries, mortuaries, and morgues. and since we have the killer's dna, we're gonna be sending you out with kits to swab potential suspects. the odds of finding brooke lombardini alive are slim, but the quicker we identify the killer, the better her chances are. for her sake, let's work fast. [water running] that lawsuit is joke. its my job to prep the deceased. i was simply adjusting her clothing. by adjusting you mean undressing? look, man, i'm not here to judge you. i'm looking for a killer. so if you want to prove your innocence, all you gotta do is say "ahh." we're looking for instances where graves have been disturbed-- desecrations, exhumations. female bodies. tractive ones. nobody's attractive once they've been in the ground. they would have been recent burials. no, haven't had anything like that.
5:24 pm
was the body taken? no. the body was just a pile of bones. they stripped it clean, though. made off with the jewelry, dress. i won't lie. it--it happens in the industry. and we put a stop to it when it does. you don't report it to the police? well, we...like to keep that kind of thing quiet. a killer is dressing up his dead victims and violating them. maybe quiet isn't the best way to go. he dresses them up? that mean something to you? we hired an apprentice a while back. odd guy. even for this business. i didn't like the attention he paid the female cadavers. i come to find out he liked to do their makeup. put a wig on them and such. can you describe the wig for me? we cleaned out his locker after his termination. there she is. he never came back for it. imagine that.
5:25 pm
[doorbell rings] ivan bakunas? yeah. can i-- can i help you? you could invite us inside. it's a little wet out here. oh, i--i can't. mother's sleeping. we're investigating a series of murders in the area. we belie the killer works in your field. wow. jeez. you're kidding. do i know him? yomight. his victims are just your type. blond hair, blue skin. you're suggesting i'm some kind of murderer? then you are way out of line. so you wouldn't object to giving us a sample of your dna. i don't know. no. we can get a warrant. i think i've said all i'm gonna say. prentiss: did you find anything on ivan bakunas? nothing in juvey. but he was expelled from evergreen state
5:26 pm
he was slipping her anquilizers and having sex with her while she slept. that qualifies. oh, wa! emily, maybe this is that romantic encounter your horoscope foretold. bye, garcia. between that and the wig, we should be able to persuade a judge. detective, i'm not gonna stand in your way if you want to serve a warrant on bakunas, but i think you're wasting your time. you're kidding, right? we profiled a man of means. according to his tax records, bakunas hasn't held down a job since he graduated college. he lives with his mother. doesn't have a car. the embalming equipment, the drugs-- that stuff's not cheap. look, this guys like to get it on with deadeople. if that's not probable cause, i don't know what is. hotch, a 911 operar just got a distress call from someone claimingto be brooke lombardini. operator: 911. what's your emergency? [whispering] hello? can you speak up, ma'am? no. he'll hear me. this is brooke lombardini. please, need help. where are you calling from, ma'am? i'm being held prisoner.
5:27 pm
can you see a street name or an address? please... i think he's... gonna kill me. ma'am? [door opens and closes] please help me. [running footsteps] no-- [telephone disconnects] that's her. that's brooke. hotch: you're certain? rossi: she's barely audible. any rveillance expert will tell you it's almost impossible to positively identify a whisper. you think i don't know my own daughter's voice? why would someone who was not brooke call 911 and say they were? sometimes people get off injecting themselves into the story. you've been on tv now and that could bring out a lot of sick individuals. stanley said she was alive. this proves it. stanley usher has a vested interest in telling you that your daughter is alive. and do you have a vested interest in telling m that she's not? he has a record, ma'am. i had a colleague look into it.
5:28 pm
before he pulled up stakes and moved here. i need my baby to alive. all she has right now is hope. why would you take that from her? you know, most people think that a person's hair and nails continue to grow after they're dead. that's a myth.
5:29 pm
abby... abby, hold still. i know how much you like a straight line. who's abby?
