Floyd Feylinn Ferell

Floyd Feylinn Ferell is a serial killer who appears in Lucky.

History
Most of Floyd's past is not revealed in detail. It is revealed from a psychiatrist's notes that he was admitted to the Hazelwood Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Florida at the age of 7 after biting a large piece of flesh from his 9 months old sister and believes himself to be possessed by a flesh-eating demon. He was put on medication, subjected to art therapy using Fransisco Goya's Black Paintings and allowed to read books about satanism. When he was 18, the law required the hospital to release him. Soon after that, he stopped taking his delusion-inhibiting medication since they caused him to gain a lot of weight. At some point, he opened a BBQ restaurant in Bridgewater, Florida and started killing.

The BAU were called in after Abbey Kelton's murder. After her stomach contents wera analyzed they found a number of fingers among them. When they checked the fingerprints of them, they found that they all belonged to missing prostitutes. Later, Tracey Lambert was also abducted from a public restroom. A search party was formed. During the search, one of the searchers, Sheryl Timmons, was also abducted by Floyd. By then, the BAU had tracked down the Hazelwood institution and found Floyd's records.

When they raided his house, they found a collection of cooking equipment, a walk-in freezer containing his victims and Sheryl Timmons in captivity. Floyd was found in a basement room with walls covered in writing and pentagrams containing books about satanism and images of the Black Paintings, apparently in the middle of some sort of prayer. The BAU also found a homemade cookbook containing cannibalistic recipes like "Skewered She" and "Kobe Girl Steak". When they questioned him, he refused to talk to anyone but a local priest, Father Marks. When he arrived, Floyd said like he felt abandoned by God, to which Father Marks replied "God is in all of us". Rossi, who looked at the list of search party volounteers, which had Floyd's name on it, rushed in to stop the interview. Floyd did however, have the time to reply "So is Tracy Lambert"; he had served stew containing her flesh to searchers.

Modus Operandi
Floyd started out killing prostitutes since he had easy access to them. Since some of them were regular drug-users, which according to Floyd makes them "taste funny" and skinny, he switched to athletic women, both because he was attracted to them and he needed the healthy flesh of their legs as ingredients in various cannibalistic dishes. The way he killed the prostitutes is not specified, but Abby Kelton had her throat slashed followng a blitz attack, as did the women found in Floyd's freezer. He also took fingers from his victims and kept them. He later force-fed them to Abbey Kelton in order to send the authorities a message: he had killed before. He would abduct the women he killed before and after killing Abbey Kelton and later use their flesh for cooking.
