[Reid manages to get his laughter under control, starting to pet Elle again to calm himself down.] A few years ago, I had a case in Texas where someone was tying up men with alpha male personalities, and then proceeding to rape and kill them. Our theory was that the unsub was actually a team; a submissive male and a dominant female who reversed roles when alone with each other. We thought the female lured the men upstairs and tied them up, and then the male would come in and perform the rape and murder. We had two suspects, but they both passed a polygraph.
[He gives a soft laugh again, but it's not a happy laugh.] It turned out that one of those suspects was our unsub, but he didn't know it. Adam Jackson. Because of childhood abuse at the hands of his step father, he developed another personality completely separate from him, and capable of facing the pain he couldn't. Her name was Amanda, and Amanda was carrying out the murders alone.
We caught her when she was in the middle of suffocating her step father. His name was Mark. I convinced her to stop and come in peacefully, but to this day, no matter how many times I talk to her, she's never let Adam out again.
