Marcus Younger

Marcus Younger appeared in North Mammon.

History
Mark was born and raised in North Mammon, Pennsylvania. When in high school, he became the star of the town's football team. During the state championship game in 1984, he suffered a knee injury which cost him a Notre Dame scholarship and presumably made it impossible for him to play again. After that, he lost a lot of friends and later became a garbage man, carrying a lot of resentment towards his former team mates and friends within him. In 2007, when the present-day North Mammon football team made it to the state championship again, Marcus devised a plan to make a point to everyone in the town and take out his revenge on his now-mature former team mates. He abducted Brooke Chambers, Polly Homefeldt and Kelly Seymour, three young soccer players and best friends when they were alone in Brooke's father's house and took them to a small basement in his house without any food, water or chance of escape. He then instructed them to choose one of them to die in exchange for the surviving two to be released. Polly's mother, a friend of JJ's aunt, felt that there was something wrong, even though the girls had left phone messages, scripted by Marcus, and asked the BAU to help the local police. They obliged after getting a request from them.

In the meantime, neither one of the girls had sacrificed herself for the other two. Infact they had become antagonistic towards each other, especially Kelly, who convinced Polly that they should sacrifice Brooke, since she was sick and getting worse due to the conditions of the basement. Marcus had turned the parents of the girls against each other by planting evidence implicating Brooke's father and the girls' soccer coach, revealing their secrets in the process. When Kelly told Marcus that they had made their choice, he simply dropped in two hammers for Polly and Kelly to kill Brooke with. Polly wavered at the instruction, but Kelly remained adamant. While she was trying to convince Polly, Brooke managed to gather enough strength to take the hammer and kill Kelly herself. Satisfied, Marcus released the two outside the police station and waited at his home for the police to arrive. When they did, he showed no remorse for his actions and remarked that he didn't touch them while they were in the basement. He said that all he did was "show them what they really [were]" and explained the motivations for his actions before being arrested.

Profile
Like all predatory abductors, Marcus was profiled to be intelligent, patient and cautious. That type of UnSub likes to watch everthing related to their victims. He would thus keep an eye on the police and attempt to inject himself into the investigation. They also prepare a "nest" before setting their plans into work, such as a remote cabin or an underground bunker. Marcus was also profiled to have a job that gave him access to Brooke, Kelly, Polly and people related to them.
