List of minor criminals

This list covers all minor criminals mentioned in Criminal Minds.

The Boys in Iowa
The Boys in Iowa was one of the first cases Hotch and Gideon worked together. Three children had been murdered and the authorities had no leads. Gideon and Hotch delivered the profile, which led them to a local 4H leader. As they moved in to arrest him, he held them at gunpoint and a brief standoff ensued. They were able to talk him down and make an arrest. When the case went to court, however, the man’s wife gave him a false alibi for the murders, leading to him being released. In the end, he was finally incarcerated after killing a fourth child.

The Boise Child Killer
The Boise Child Killer (real name unspecified) was an apparently prolific serial killer in Boise, Idaho who targeted children. He was captured through a profile given by Max Ryan.

Frank Giles
Giles was one of the victims of serial killer Randall Garner. He was a hardcore criminal with a criminal record for, among other things, assault, armed robbery and rape. He was killed by Garner, who impaled him with a sword.

Marty Harris
A convicted pedophile and fetish burglar, Harris was briefly employed by serial killer Randall Garner. He was later killed by another of his associates, Frank Giles.

Frank Portwell
A sex offender suspected of abducting Dustin Powers. According to Garcia, he was serving a 12-year sentence in prison.

Martin Dubrais
A sex offender suspected of abducting Dustin Powers. Was shot to death in January 2005.

Patrick Forbes
A sex offender suspected of abducting Dustin Powers. He was a suspect when he was about to be sold in an online auction, but was written off as he, according to Agent Katie Cole, wasn’t smart enough to pull that off.

The Killer of Jessica Davies
Jessica Davies’ murder, which predated the episode by one week, was initially thought to be connected to the case at hand. She was abducted from a mall and found dead hours later. According to Reid, the killer, who remains unidentified at the end of the episode, killed her because he realized that he could never have any privacy with her.

The Indianapolis Rapist
A serial rapist caught by Rossi in 1988. By his account, it was pretty easy as he wasn’t very smart. After the case, Rossi was brought in on the murders of Mr. and Mrs. Galen.

Clint Barnes
A serial rapist of the power-reassurance type, Clint would rape women and then ask how he did. Another rapist, Floyd Hansen, raped and beat a woman to death and then successfully framed Clint for the act.

The Serial Drowner
A case shown by JJ to Jordan Todd as part of an exercise to determine which cases should have priority. An UnSub had drowned two people with one month between the kills. No other details are given.

The Family Annihalator
Another case from the aforementioned exercise, the case involved a man who had killed his wife and twin daughters for unspecified reasons. Jordan correctly deduced that case should have priority over the drowner as the man may go after other family members.

Edward Payne
An apparent psychotic, Edward Payne was a serial killer who, according to Prentiss, “tore apart” 14 women. She and Hotch briefly spot him when they visit Karl Arnold at the prison where they were both incarcerated.
