Special Agent Jackson O’Riordan had been with the FBI for twenty years and assigned to the Behavioral Analysis Unit, BAU, for the last eighteen. He had seen plenty of homicides around the United States and, with experience, he learned to ascertain just from the crime scenes if they were dealing with a serial killer or not.
Recently, several cases involving the sexual orifices being super glued had caught his attention. He had begun to suspect that a serial killer had been eluding detection for quite some time. This elusive killer traveled across the United States and killed mainly high risk men and women. He also found it highly unusual that none of the victims showed signs of sexual assault.
O’Riordan had collected photos, crime scene descriptions, lab and autopsy reports, and any other information on cases possibly committed by this mystery killer. While the torture performed on the bodies had variations, the use of super glue remained constant.
This particular killer never struck twice in the same place and showed obsessive compulsive tendencies. He could go months, even years, before the need to kill struck again. They had no clue as to the identity of this killer. His fingerprints had not been registered in any of the systems, meaning he had never been in the military or prison.
But for now, he had to put aside this case. Capturing David Thorguson was his top priority. He had carefully selected his task force. To help this task force understand what they were up against, when the team arrived in Hope, Louisiana they would watch a recorded interview between Alex Hamilton and David Thorguson. He also requested that Sheriff Hamilton make one of David Thorguson’s homemade DVD’s available. He wanted to reinforce the seriousness of the situation.
He would meet with Alex Hamilton when he arrived in Hope. With two killers on the loose, they had no time to waste. Before leaving for Hope, he made copies of any relevant information for Alex to peruse.
On the flight, while his task force reviewed their copies of the files, O’Riordan made notes of the more pertinent things he needed to discuss with everyone.
