"He uses hollow pointbullets." "No one even knewthis guy existed until he sentthis letter." "Well,he's killedmore victims, but lookwho he's chosen."

" How many timeshas that happened?" " To my knowledge,3 times." "There was a guy killing at the same time as the son of sam." "And then againin new orleans, and most recentlywith the phoenix murders." "Serial shootersare typically loners." "This guy likesto kill at night." "His victimsare prostitutes,so he may lack confidence with womenor have poorsocial skills." "No rape." "The guycould be impotent." "He's a wannabetough guy."

"We just found ellencarroll's body." "Agents gideon,morgan,this is agent sheridan." " How are you?" " Forgive me." "How faris the abduction itefrom these woods?" "About 40 miles or so." "He tried to hide itpretty well." "He covers the bodyvery carefully." "Must feel remorsefor killing them." "This lipstick's beenapplied recently." "It's still moist." "Look at her hair." "It's been brushed,put behind her ears." "She was abducted,what,an hour from here?" "Draggedthrough these woods?" "Her hair would notlook like that." "So he keeps her safefrom the elements and then comes backfor the body." "That's why he chooses a secondary locationthat's so remote." " This isn'tabout remorse." " No." " He wantsto be alone with her." " Needs his privacy." "You never noticed the hair or the makeupbefore?" "No." "Maybe it wasthe timing." "She was foundwithin 24 hours,and the others had alreadysuccumbed to the elements." "Sex actswith dead bodies are rare occurrences." "However,bundy did it regularly." "So how is thisgoing to help usto catch him?" "Now we knowhe has a ritual." "He needs to defilethe bodies." "Next timewe'll be herewaiting for him." "Sixth Victim Falls to Mill Creek Killer" "We're off-duty just like you." "2 victims at once." "That's a first for him." "You think he wentout looking to kill more than one woman,or is it just happenstance?" "He chose a differenthunting ground." "Yes,we're in an alley,but we're behind an expensive hotelin a nice neighborhood." "You get a differentclass of prostitute, ones that don't walkthe street alone." "He was lookingfor a challenge." "Question is,what gavehim the confidence to stray outof his comfort zone?" "Make sure to runthat for prints." "He displayed the newspaperbetween them." "He took the time when he could've just tossed it aside." "It's deliberate." "He wants us to knowhe's angry." "Angry enoughto change his M.O." "I heard there was a double homicide this morning." "Was it hollow man?" " Agents are confirmingthat now." " I've written about him." "There's no guaranteethat he would've stopped killingif you would've giveninto his demands." "In fact,media attention could've fueled himto kill more." "We don't knowthat for sure." "This is all justa guessing game,isn't it?" "No." "It's behavioralanalysis." "We're dealingwith an offenderwho believes that murdering peopleis a good wayto become famous." "All I know is thatyou told me to ignore himand he takes 2 lives." "If I dismissthis double homicide, what happens tomorrow?" "We won't knowuntil then." "Too bad we couldn'ttrace any printsfrom the newspaper." "What have you got?" "he only sent thisto an individual, which shows he'snot confident enough to initiate contactwith the masses." "Emotional indicators are analyzed through slants." "The shootermaintains vertical, narrow-lettered writing,both signs of repression." "And the pressure,if you look closely, is excessively heavy, which showsthat he's uptight and caneasily overreact." "You got all thatfrom his handwriting?" "Graphology is an effectiveand reliable indicatorof personality and behavior." "My writing'salways different." "That's because itexpresses your emotionsat that given time, just likeyour facial expressionsparallel the wayyou're feeling whileyou're speaking." "I'm surprised this guywrites in cursive." "His message is so clear." "I would've thoughthe'd print everything." "Actually,his connectedwriting shows that he deals with problemsin a practicaland direct manner." " Like shooting someone." " Exactly." "The hollow manuses simple statements, all first person." "For example,"I won't be ignored."" "He's obviously tiredof feeling this way." "It's quite possible he'sgot a job in solitude or one that he feelsstrips him of his identity." "His job might require himto wear a uniform, something that showsabsolutely no individuality." "Or he may be overqualified for his menial job and feels that he doesn't get the respectthat he necessarilydeserves." "But todayhe's killed 2 women, which tells ushe's growing confident." "This makes himunpredictable and dangerous." "And because he hasno physical contactwith his victims, it's going to make himthat much harder to catch." "We have more informationon the mill creek killer because he spendsa lot of timewith his victimsbefore and afterhis kills." "Because his victimswillingly follow him in broad daylight,he appears harmless." " He's mostlikely handsome." " Handsome?" "Yes.These women wouldn't follow an unattractive man.They just wouldn'T." "He's handsome,and he's got the socialskills to trick his victims." "Those who know him well,they'd be shocked to learn that he'sthe man that we're after." "He's been ableto get his victims awayfrom family,friends." "Obviously,this makeshim feel powerful."

"Bullets providethe privacy he needs." "The hollow manis motivated byexternal pressures." "This is a guy who simplywants attention." "The mill creek killer,on the other hand, he's drivenby internal forces." "He's a sexuallymotivated offender."

"She was supposedto meet her friend for a bike ridebut disappeared." " Disappeared when?" " An hour ago." " How can we be sureit's him?" " Well,look at her." "She's his type physically, she vanishes into thin air." "It's got the mill creek'sM.O.All over it." "I'll set up road blocks in and out of the forest." "Well,based onthe other timelines, we have to assume he's hidingher body right now." "Best chanceof catching himis find meredith dale's bodyand sit tight." "We know he'll be back." "I'm going to need you to step out of your vehicle." " What's going onhere,officer?" " Just routine check." " Can you open your back?" " Uh,yeah,sure." "Many people come throughhere today?" " What are youdoing up here?" " Went for a hike." "No water,no supplies?" "My bootsare all I need." "That it?" " That's it." " Ok." "What if these dumpsitesaren't random?" "The bodies werescattered all over." "Look at this." "There's no pattern." "No,I see that,but we're talking about a lotof area to cover here." "He had to havesome kind of plan going into these woods." "Must have done his homework." "Ok.The first bodywas found deep into the woods." "That's a 3-hour carride from the city." "The first time,he's more carefulin disposing of her." "Her body was discovered by a forest ranger5 daysafter the abduction." "And all the other victims--look at this¡ª they followthe same pattern." "What are you saying?" "You think he worksup there?" "He might." "All I doknow for sureis that he has to be familiar enoughwith these woods to know when a rangeris on duty." "He knew preciselywhen and where to drop the bodies." "Now that is an awesome place to dump a person." " Come on,garcia." " What?" "I'm justsaying,angel fish." "A million acresconverts into over 2,300square miles to cover." "Evil knewwhat he was doing." "Yeah?" "Well,now so do we." "Talk to me." "How's the rangerschedule break down?" "Ok.The national forestis divided into 6 ranger districts, which are patrolledevery 3 to 5 days." "Now,the potosi-fredricktown area must be where he'sheaded to next because the rangers werejust there yesterday, which means they're notscheduled to revisit itfor at leastanother 3 days." "And look at that, it's the district closest to the city." "Well,that makes sense." "He's in a hurry." "He wantsto get in and out of there without a lot of trouble." "Which area has the easiest access to the main road?" "That would be..." "saltgrass cove." "Saltgrass cove." "Yep.He'd have plentyof time to revisit her." "What?" "No,no.I don't want to know that.Bye-bye." "Think I know where he took meredith dale." "Brownie,come here." "Damn it." "Please,please." "Everything needsto look the sameas when he left it." " He'll come back." " He needs to seemeredith again." "This bastard has killed 7 women on my watch." " Comb the scene!" " Oh,no.Please,please!" "Stop!" "Let's clearthe immediate area." "Post yourselvesalong the perimeter." "It's imperativethat you become invisible." "He set his own trap." "What we need to do now is stake out in the woodsand hunt him, just like he doeshis victims." "That's got to be him." "Fbi!" "Stay down!" "Hands whereI can see them." "Ok,ok." "Just take it easy." "Jim meyers." "What the hell?" " You'rethe mill creek killer?" " What?" "No." "Then how the helldid you get here?" "I got another letter from the hollow man." "Telling you exactly where to findmeredith dale?" "I swear." "You can read it." ""Follow the cottonwood trail throughsaltgrass cove."" "Wait a minute." "We just figuredthis out ourselves." "How can another killerknow the specificsabout someone else'sdumpsite?" "What's going on?" "It's going to beall over the news." "Looklikethe hollow man didn't give youthe exclusive this time." "So our plan to catchthe mill creek killer was ruinedby the hollow man?" "And now the hollow man'son a high." "He hasn't pulledthe trigger since he took2 victims yesterday." "Is he satisfied or is he just getting started?" "We'll find out." ""Hollow man helps fbifind the mill creekkiller's victim."" "Nice.He's alerted the media and injected himselfinto the investigation." "He's getting the attentionhe's been craving." "But if the shooterreally wants to getthe other guy arrested, he would've called usand not the media." "He must knowthe mill creek killer needsto revisit the body." "If he can't defilethe woman again,the need'll become so strong,it could pushhim into a frenzy." "And if that happens,this guy is just a time bombwaiting to explode." "Excuse me." "Hi." "Look,I'm having a day." "My car won't startand I forgot my phone." "Could I use yoursto make a call?" "Yeah." "Ok.I know it's here." "I just used it." "What,you know what?" "Forget the phone."

"When didhis demeanor change?" "After I refusedto go to his car." "He grabbedmy arm so hard I thought thatit would break." "I've been watching the newsabout all these women being abducted,and I just started screaming." "You trustedyour instincts." "Because of that,you're still alive." "Miss,there's a sketch artist here with us." "He can create a prettyaccurate rendition from your descriptionof this man." " Would you sit with him?" " Absolutely." "officer." " I'm glad you're all right." " Thank you." "Well,he's becoming irrational and violentin public." "That's exactlywhat the hollow man wanted him to do." "Well,if he doesn'tfind a victim soon, he'll becomemore dangerous." "How's that possible?" "He'll dropthe ruse entirely and just startgrabbing women at random." "Great." "Thanks,man." "The witness gota good look at themill creek killer." "You know,if it'sthe hollow man's intentionto force himinto a frenzy, he's getting what he wants." "He knew exactly where to find meredith dale's body." "He figured out the route to the dumpsitethe same way we did." "They always sayserial killers makethe best profilers." "Yeah,butthis guy's dead-on." "Yeah.The headline doesn't mention the shooter at all."

" What gives himthis confidence?" "What's the significance of the paper at the scene?" "We know he wantsto be newsworthy." "He could've justtossed it aside." "Instead,he displayed it." "There's somethinghe wants us to look at." "There's definitelysomething in the paper." "I thinkI figured it out." "What is it?" "They're talking." "In the classifieds." "classifieds,code names."
