Throughout its run of over 300 episodes, the team has seen many disturbed and terrifying suspects.
With such compelling characters, it’s easy to see why the show lasted all these years.
Here are the 10 most twisted suspects onCriminal Minds.
Two of the suspects don’t recall killing anyone.
They only remember a distinct smell and getting attacked by “a shadow monster with talons.”
Frank Breitkopf
The BAU makes a deal with the devil when they first encounter Frank.
The Womb Raider
Thomas Yates, a.k.a.
The Womb Raider first appeared in season seven through flashbacks.
Later he started removing their vocal cords after they had died.
One of their earliest victims was a boy named Charlie who grew into a teenager as their prisoner.
They used Charlie to lure and trap other kids in their dark and twisted web.
The couple also owned a funeral home with a crematorium.
The Roycewoods burned misbehaving and uncooperative children.
Lucas, unfortunately, didn’t understand what he was doing as wrong, due to his intellectual disability.
Apparently, Dr. Turner forgot the number one rule of the Hippocratic Oath: Do no harm.
Adam Rain
This serial killer is a collector of manmade marionettes, emphasis on the manmade.
He tortured his victims with limb contortion and turned them into lifesize puppets on strings.
The marionettes were a remnant from his childhood, as his father used to put on shows for him.
Adam woke up childlike and murderous, reliving his father’s death with his own human puppets.
It turns out though, that the kid killer is another kid: Jeffrey Charles.
Jeffrey hated that his father, the school counselor, spent so much time with other kids.
Eventually, he cracked and started bludgeoning his classmates to get back at his dad.
Floyd Feylinn Ferell
Barbecue restaurant owner Feylinn Ferell has a deeply twisted secret recipe: human bodies.
During his time at the asylum, he studied Satanism.
Once released at 18-years-old, he opened his barbecue restaurant and began claiming victims.
But practicing cannibalism himself wasn’t enough.
Before killing his victims, he made them eat the fingers of his other victims first.
Floyd left just enough of his victims to carve Satanic symbols into their torsos.
They are grooming the boy to become a killer.
This generation of the Romani family isn’t the first to engage in serial abduction and killing.
It’s their tradition.
