Joe Belser

Joe Belser is a serial killer who appeared in Season Five of Criminal Minds.

Background
In his youth, Joe was placed in a prestigious preparatory school by his parents, who died in a boating accident sometime after his graduation. At some point, Joe became engaged to the wealthy Rose Smith but broke off the engagement when Rose was caught sleeping with the best man. As he had already fully paid for the wedding chapel, Joe was financially crippled by the break up. This drove him to begin killing women who resembled Rose.

The Slave of Duty
Joe killed several women after they refused to take part in his marriage fantasies. When one fantasy went near perfect, the woman's boyfriend came home when he sees him he starts yelling at the woman "Why does he have a key?" He then proceeded to stab them both to death. When he found his last victim, she resisted immediately, and he attempted to subdue her. The BAU broke into the house and arrested Joe. Prentiss placed cuffs on Joe and said, when an inmate tried to have his way with him, to just play along, as he forced his victims to do.

Modus Operandi
Joe acquired a job as a parking valet at a upper class citizen's club. He used the GPS to find his victims' homes. He used his universal garage door opener to open the garage doors of his victims and opened the door to the house. He would then force the women to take part in his fantasy; if they resisted or if something went wrong, he would kill them.
