Douglas Silverman

Douglas "Doug" Silverman was an accomplice of budding serial killer Ryan Phillips, who appeared in Season Three of Criminal Minds.

History
A senior at Mayford High School in Chula Vista, California, Doug, according to his father, was a relativity shy boy who had trouble making friends. At some point, Doug and Taylor Coleman, a classmate, befriended Ryan Phillips, a 28-year-old delinquent. Doug's friendship with Ryan caused him to begin acting out and made his grades slip, but his father thought nothing of this; he believed his son was just going through a phase. Over a long weekend, on January 5, 2008, Ryan had Doug and Taylor help him abduct Katie Owens and her friend Lindsey Vaughan outside a theatre. The trio took the girls to an abandoned house and sadistically tortured Katie, whom Ryan eventually strangled to death with his belt the next day. Ryan murdering Katie shocked Doug, who decided he wanted out, and tried to leave. An altercation ensued between the boys, and Doug was wounded when Ryan stabbed him three times in the chest. Doug survived long enough to stumble his way into the second floor of another empty house, where he tried to call for help with his cell phone but died of blood loss before he could even turn it on. Ryan and Taylor, unable to find Doug due to it being dark out, fled with Lindsey and Katie's body, thinking their accomplice had gotten away and would contact the police. A few hours after his death, Doug's body was discovered by the BAU, who discerned what had happened to him.
