Bryce Jarvis

Bryce Jarvis is a delusional serial killer who appeared in Surface Tension.

Background
Bryce's parents Dave and Marnie were apparently the only members of a new religious movement that they founded themselves. Social Services were often called to the Jarvis home to investigate claims of sexual abuse, but they were unproven. After Dave and Marnie were jailed for fraud and sentenced to six months, Bryce suffered a nervous breakdown and was institutionalized for a brief time. After being discharged, he began raping and strangling random women to death, eventually claiming six lives. Then, in April 2015, Dave and Marnie, who by that point had completed their sentence, were killed after a sinkhole swallowed them and the house whole, while Bryce was out. Now without any other residence to go to, Bryce became homeless. The incident caused him to undergo another psychotic break, and he changed his M.O., killing people connected to homeless shelters that he frequented and setting them up as sacrifices for Satan, who he believed was responsible for the sinkhole.

Modus Operandi
Bryce initially targeted random women, raping them and somehow strangling them to death. Following his parents' deaths, he began killing morally good people connected to the homeless shelters he frequented. He would stalk them and any of their loved ones beforehand, before approaching his selected targets and threatening their loved ones. He would legitimatize the threats by showing them belongings he stole beforehand as proof. Then, Bryce forced the victims to commit suicide in order to save their loved ones; initially, he had them overdose on some sort of drug, but as he evolved and became more violent, he had them shoot themselves with a .44 Magnum revolver. Afterwards, Bryce would mark the bodies with a symbol that referenced a constellation referencing Satan, then dump the bodies near current or repaired sinkholes. During his attempt on Eleanor Parsons' life, he abducted her, marked her while she was still alive, and attempted to force her to commit suicide by jumping into a sinkhole, but when she refused, he tried to personally shoot her.
