Antonio Cayetan is the main antagonist of the Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders episode “Love Interrupted”. He is a Belizean serial killer and captor/rapist, stalking tourists to kill the husbands and imprison and rape the wives to create a “family”.
He was portrayed by Jonathan Medina.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Cayetan’s wife Rosa died in 2012 when she drowned in a bay her car plummeted into, as a result of a foreign couple honeymooning in the city rear-ending her car. Cayetan’s butcher shop was closed and changed jobs to working in rental car services. In a twisted amalgamation of vengeance and grief, Cayetan slipped into delusion, believing he needed to make “wives” to fill his loss, telling himself he was an “Aztec warrior”, as his family was mixed race.
Every October, when the Day of the Jaguar, an Aztec battle holiday, would repeat, Cayetan focused on other international citizens touring as couples, hoping he could replace Rosa with the women. He slammed into the cars and kidnapped them, called for their cars to be towed, cut the husbands’ throats with a machete, then ate their hands, feet, and hearts after he cooked them as part of a divinity ritual. They would sunk with weights in the bay where Rosa drowned, and Capetian would return to his house to repeatedly rape the women in his captivity. He’d make the women keep their children and raise them with him while held them captive over the years.
Cayetan first killed Colin Jackson in 2012 and held captive and raped his wife Trish, who gave birth to a daughter. After killing Annouk Mikkelson in 2015, he held his wife Monika captive, and she also got pregnant from Cayetan raping her, her child’s birth approaching steadily.
"Love Interrupted"[]
2016 came, and Cayetan saw John and Susie Davis, kidnapping them too. While Susie was chained to a basement pipe, John, tied to a chair and on the other side of a sheet, is killed, shortly before he’s also sunk in the bay. The weight isn’t secure enough to hold him down, so he and the two other murdered men are found when he floats to the surface. Susan snaps from the chain and tries to get away, but Cayetan incapacitates and restrains her again.
Cayetan then formally introduces himself to Susie and tells her about him preparing their “marriage”, while John’s dismembered remains are being barbecued. Susie is reviled by Cayetan’s cannibalism, but she’s stopped from escaping when she meets Trish and Monika. When Trish’s daughter greets Susie, Cayetan picks her up and says Susie is a new “mommy”.
The International Response Team and city police arrive at the house, but when his dog barks, Cayetan makes every woman and the child take a cup of poison for a mass suicide. Trish and Monika drink the cups before losing consciousness, and Cayetan hold his daughter against him, exclaiming he needs to protect “his family”.
He’s eventually convinced to surrender, but Agent Jack Garrett goads him with insult after insult, which is enough for Cayetan to try charge Garrett, only to be shot dead by Agent Matthew Simmons. It’s later revealed the poison Cayetan tried to force-feed every captive woman and child wouldn’t have really killed them anyway, and they’re successfully treated and saved.
Trivia[]
- Cayetan is inspired by multiple real-life criminals:
- The late Ivan Milat, a.k.a. “The Backpacker Killer”, an Australian serial killer/rapist of backpacking and hitchhiking local and international citizens, alone and in couples, in New South Wales, who were offered rides or kidnapped, the women raped, and the couples murdered and their remains buried in the forests where they were to be hiking.
- Ariel Castro, a.k.a. “The Monster of Cleveland”, a Puerto Rican serial kidnapper/rapist responsible for holding three girls captive and repeatedly raping them, conceiving daughters with one girl who later gave birth to the daughter.
- The late Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo, a.k.a. “The Godfather of Matamoros”, a Mexican murderous cult leader responsible for ritualistic human sacrifices, including the murder of an American tourist, with his followers, and who later died by directing a follower to kill him when police raided their hideout.
- The late Jim Jones, the leader of the People's Temple and the Jonestown cult, which brainwashed and sexually battered the captives, then committed mass suicide and murder in part by poisoning when authorities were closing in.
- Christian Longo, the killer of his family, who were sunk in the ocean and only found once one of them floated close enough to the shore; they otherwise would’ve been taken out with the tides and never seen again.
