The Indianapolis Unsub (so named for Fandom) is the main antagonist of the Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior episode “Jane”. The unsub is a sadistic serial killer of women in the aforementioned city, terrorizing the city with intentions of disappearing the women once he’s done with them and never getting caught, no matter what police efforts.
He’s portrayed by Joseph McKelheer.
Biography[]
No information, not even a name, is revealed about the unsub. His profile suggests a possibility he had a record for rape, but whoever he raped fought back, which was emasculating to the unsub, He worked as an auto maintenance man and is a violent psychopath with a predisposition for torturing women to death. He’d find a woman to shove in his car and kidnap, drive them to his auto shop, and tourniquet their limbs to cut off their circulation until they died. The unsub slowly tortured each woman by using a motorized saw to cut off each of their limbs, taking breaks to savor their pain and fear, in between the work of his job. When every woman’s limbs were cut off, he’d kill them by slowly cutting off their heads with the same saw. Their remains would be stuffed into oil drums, encased in concrete, and sunk to the bottom of a lake. He’d repeat the process by targeting another woman shortly after, even throwing the police off his trail by using his customers’ cars on occasion.
The unsub first killed a sex worker, Maria Sanchez, but after Vice Squad conducted more raids, he wanted to break the spirits of and murder a woman with more to lose and who would be missed. He consequentially targeted career woman and matriarch Alicia Vernon, then Amy Hodgkins. When the unsub was snatching a young woman from outside a restaurant, a man named Michael, who was with his fiancé Lisa, tried to stop the abduction, only to nearly die from his throat being cut. The city police contacted the Red Cell Team, connecting her kidnapping to Alicia’s and Amy’s disappearances. The agents identify Maria too, knowing the unsub would take more risks when escalating. Agent Sam Cooper questions Michael in the hospital, with “yes” and “no” answers from Michael squeezing Cooper’s hand. Michael later died from the extent of his injuries. The agents know they can only work off finding the remains of the women the unsub killed, so they profile him and track his movements to find the lake where the women were buried, Falls Creek. By then, the unsung has already butchered the young woman to death. An excavator recovers the drums and the women’s remains, which take time to remove from the concrete. Cooper is especially affected by the case, as he bonded with Michael, Lisa, and the Vernon family, going so far as to falsely promise Alicia’s son Barry to murder the unsub like he killed women.
By this point, the unsub has already snatched a soccer mom, Trish, and holds her captive while tying her limbs off as well. The agents, knowing time is of the essence, track the forensic evidence, and find out Joy Logan’s car was used for an abduction. They stop her and find out she just got it back from the unsub, confirming he’s a mechanic. When Joy tells them where his auto shop is, the police raid the property. When Agent Jonathan “Prophet” Simms opens one of the car trunks, the unsung maces him and tries to run. Cooper gets into fisticuffs with the unsung and subdues him, near killing him in a chokehold; his colleagues stop him before he can do more damage, and the unsung is arrested. Trish is later located and safely cut out of the tourniquets before her limbs stop working, sending her off for medical attention. The unsub brags about his crimes from prison and even goads Agent Cooper over their fight in his shop. Sadly, the unsub doesn’t give the name of the young woman he killed, who was never identified beforehand, the unsub not seeing a reason to care. Cooper is regretful, fearing she won’t be returned to her loved ones, but the agents reassure him of otherwise in due time. The unsub is incarcerated for all his crimes.
Trivia[]
- The unsub is inspired by multiple real-life criminals:
- The “Cleveland Torso Murderer”, an unidentified serial killer in Cleveland responsible for ten dismemberment murders of men and women who were all found in the Kingsbury Run stream in metal barrels, only two people being identified.
- Jeffrey Dahmer, a.k.a. “The Milwaukee Cannibal”, a serial killer/rapist of men and boys whose heads were retained as souvenirs, other remains in industrial barrels filled with acid, and he was arrested after a fight with two cops arriving to find him.
- Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi, a.k.a. “The Hillside Stranglers”, a duo of serial killer/rapist cousins targeting women in Los Angeles, moving from sex workers to higher-class women, raping and torturing them in captivity, then choking them to death and scattering them across the city.
- Daniel Lee Corwin, a serial killer/rapist in Texas who cut a woman's throat so badly during a rape and attempted murder, she had to describe him in yes or no responses with gestures instead of words.
