History
See the Lee Mullens and Colby Bachner article

Modus Operandi
"When she saw the Lexwell, her eyes went so wide, she scared me half to death."

Lee targeted blondes in their 20s. He would abduct them from public places using some kind of ruse, hold them captive, torture them with sharp instruments, electrocute and sodomize them. When stabbing them, Lee usually did it in areas which were not immediately fatal, but inflicted maximum pain. At one point during the torture, which went on for several hours, Lee would make the victims call a loved one to say goodbye, ending the call with them saying they were "enjoy[ing] it" in order for him to extend the suffering to them (he didn't do this to his first victim as he hadn't fully found his style yet). He would then dump their bodies outdoors, sometimes posing them in some way that exposed their bodies. During Lee's later span of killing, he and Colby would work together during the abductions, one of them luring the victim to their van, pushing her in and knocking her out with a blow to the head and the other driving. During the killings, they would often make the victim read from a script in order to recreate the old ones as accurately as possible.

Profile
Rossi had an original profile of the Butcher, which stated that he would be a white sexual sadist and narcissist in his 40s who worked alone.

Real-Life Comparison
Though the case didn't become infamous until a few months after Remembrance of Things Past aired, Lee's habit of having his victims call their families has some similarity to an incident involving a Long Island serial killer sometimes nicknamed The Long Island Ripper and also The Gilgo Killer. A few weeks after one of his victims disappeared, he is believed to have used her cell phone to call her sister and taunt her.
