History
Prior to Kate Joyce's abduction, Syd often went out with his best friend, James Barrett. Occasionally, they committed a few petty crimes, both having records of shoplifting, assault, and arson. At some point prior to J.J., Syd and James met Kate and drove her to her hotel room, taking pictures of themselves along the way. At the room, he had sex with Kate and James attempted to do the same, but she rejected him. Unbeknowst to him, James decided to have revenge on Kate; he drugged and abducted her and brought her to his boat, later going out on the ocean and shoving her overboard in an area where sharks would be feeding at that time of the day as fishermen dumped their catch loads. When Kate's disappearance went public, he and James were suspected and interrogated by the BAU and local police. He was let off the hook when his behavior told the BAU that he was getting off from the attention. Kate was rescued and James was identified as her abductor and attempted killer, subsequently getting arrested.
