Watch Criminal Minds Season 10 Episode 5 OnlineWhen Joshua Parker is found after a year, the BAU races into action in S.D.
We learn that Tommy Wilcox had also been found after a similar absence.
A pedophile confessed to abducting the latter, but Morgan and Kate determine that he falsely admitted it for the fame, and that the real criminal is at large.
This also helped prove to them that the disappearances are linked.
Meanwhile another boy, Hunter Olsen, has just been abducted.
The Unsub put him in a box in the ground and parked his car over it, in a scene that may well haunt more than a few who watch Criminal Minds online.
The team profiles Unsub as a fundamentalist vigilante and a religious zealot who is actually punishing the kids for the pranks they had been perpetrating.
They also believe that the attacker tends to snap if rejected.
A woman, Sandra Bidwell, reaches out to say she thinks the Unsub is her brother, based on his past behavior and how his own dad tormented him on Halloween.
The BAU is now sure John David Bidwell is the Unsub.
He had a normal enough life but was about to marry a woman who was married to another man, and has since been off the grid for the last few years.
JJ, Rossi and Hotch talk to Bidwell’s mother Mary, who leads them through John’s past and thus to his father-in-law’s place where he is likely to be.
The Unsub is still there, standing near the boy’s makeshift prison. He won’t tell them where the prisoner is until the mother pleads for him to do so.
