The Capilano Brothers

Background
Sal and Tony Capilano were raised by their abusive, alcoholic father, but Sal took the brunt of it to protect Tony. One day, their father had cut Sal, leaving a permanent scar on the left corner of his mouth. Their father eventually killed the boys' mother and abandoned them. They would later be raised by the traveling circus that their father worked for. While Tony loved being a clown, Sal desired to be a daredevil like his father, having wanted to experience both thrills and the adrenaline rush created by them. At some point Tony began a relationship with a woman named Dina and later and had a kid together named Mikey. Despite Tony now having a wife and kid he still managed to travel the U.S. with them while still having his job. In December 2017, the circus Sal and Tony worked for went out of business and they subsequently went to work at another circus. Their time working for the new circus ended shortly after Sal got into an altercation with one of the circus's bullfighters and almost cut his face. This resulted in them being blacklisted from every known circus still operating in the U.S. Due to the circus life being the only kind of life they knew, the decided to work for migrant rodeos, but because they were not being paid enough they resorted to robbing people's homes and pawning off the stolen items, with Sal being the one who broke into the homes and stealing the items and Tony acting as the getaway driver. One night, Sal had broke into the home of Sam Franklin who was home at the time of the robbery. Sal decided to kill Sam (who acted as a surrogate for his abusive father) with Tony assuming that he had just tied him up. Dina however had no knowledege of their criminal activities.

Profile
The unsubs are a dominant power-assertive male robbing and killing his victims and a submissive partner who drove the getaway vehicle, likely a van. Both men are aged in their thirties. The dominant likes to kill with his bare-hands and likes to cut his victims postmortem, as part of his signature. However, the submissive partner has no idea that the dominant partner is committing murder, as it is common for criminal partners to keep secrets from one-another. While the submissive waits in the vehicle, the dominant works alone in the killings while choosing not to harm the children. The sparing of the children might have been because of the submissive's influence. This may result from one of them having a child or having unresolved childhood issues. The unsub's use of a clown disguise, while possibly could be a forensic countermeasure, is a predictor of anti-social behavior, a deindividuation. It allows him to be anonymous and act out at his absolute worst. He likely paints his face because he hates his own, possibly because of a facial disfigurement or a speech impediment. He can't control this and it frustrates him.
