Sarah Jacobs

Sarah Jacobs was a minor recurring character who appeared in Criminal Minds as Jason Gideon's girlfriend. She would later fall victim to prolific serial killer Frank Breitkopf.

On Criminal Minds
Sarah was once Gideon's schoolmate, but lost contact with him at an unknown point. Sometime prior to The Fisher King, part 1, she reunited with Gideon and the two of them set up a date at Gideon's cabin. There, they had dinner and danced together before Gideon received a cardboard box that contained a man's head from an unidentified sender. She hasn't been seen in the rest of the episode.

In No Way Out II: The Evilution of Frank, she meets her demise when she sets up another date with Gideon. As Gideon looks for flowers for her, Sarah, at Gideon's apartment, answers the door for Frank, believing it was Gideon, only for her to be injected by ketamine and killed by Frank. Distraught by Sarah's death, Gideon eventually tracked down Frank just in time to see him and his own girlfriend Jane commit suicide. In Doubt, a guilty and traumatized Gideon began seeing hallucinations of Sarah while investigating a case in Flagstaff, Arizona, eventually causing him to resign from the BAU.
