Ronald James Underwood

Ronald James Underwood was a serial killer in season nine.

Profile
Based on his victims and local demographics, the unsub is Caucasian male in his teens to early 20s. He is a sadist with rage issues, which accounts for the high level of violence in each of his kills. All of his victims are in someway connected Jefferson High School. This means he's either a former student or employee, former because he has a drug problem. The addiction plus his anger issues means he probably lacks the social skills required to stay in school or hold down a steady job. Because brute force and humiliation are the hallmarks of his M.O., his kills are somehow rooted in revenge. He may have been traumatically humiliated in some way in the recent past. This probably happened to him as an adolescent, which makes this very personal to him. Now he is out for vengeance. He is probably a violent offender or an ex-con. His first kills were experiments of sorts, getting the taste for it. It is not easy to blitz attack two people at once as he did with Barnes and Hawthorne, who attempted to defend themselves. Whether the unsub was incarcerated or not, he probably took a year off to perfect his craft to make sure that never happened again. He's physically fit and probably works out a lot, so he may frequent inexpensive gym or health clubs.
