Robert Reimann

Robert Reimann was a serial killer operating together with his wife, Linda Reimann. They appeared in Cradle to Grave.

History
lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He had a history of sexual abuse and eventually met Linda, who submitted to his torture and whom he later married. One month after getting pregnant with his son, the child died while she was still carrying him, forcing her to give birth to it anyway on 2 October 2004. After that, the Reimanns started abducting teenage runaways, having Robert impregnate them and holding them captive until they gave birth to a healthy child in an attempt to recreate their lost child. If the victims gave birth to a girl, they would be placed outside churches in order for them to be adopted by the state and their mothers killed. After Kristy, the third victim, was killed and found in Cradle to Grave, the BAU were called in. After a long and tiresome investigation, they were able to track down Robert and Linda, who at the time had fourth stage breast cancer, and arrested them both.

Modus Operandi
targeted blonde, blue-eyed runaways between 17 and 19 years old. He would abduct them, usually hold two at a time, bind them using chains, sexually assault them and hold them captive until they gave birth. Before impregnating his victims, and his wife would get them healthy enough to carry a child and also give them various medications to make it easier. When the births took place, the most recently abducted girls would act as nurses.

Profile
The profile of suggested that two UnSubs were responsible for the murders, most likely a couple. The man would have a history of sexual abuse, starting with stalking and moving up to assault and rape. Since the victims were blonde, he may be as well. When he met his wife, he experienced calm, having met someone who submitted to his torture. But since a sexual sadist can't derive any pleasure froma willing partner, the wife made a deal with him: he would get to rape and kill the runaways in exchange for her keeping the children and taking care of them as an outlet to cling on to her own life. The medications given to the victims suggested that she may have some obstetric job.
