Robert Reimann

"It's a boy..."

Robert Reimann is a serial killer and rapist who appeared in Cradle to Grave. He is the dominant partner of a two-person criminal team consisting of his wife Linda.

Background
Little is known about Robert's early life, other than he lived in Phoenix, Arizona, and had a history of sexual abuse. He eventually met Linda, who submitted to his torture and whom he later married. Eight months after getting pregnant with his son, the child died while she was still carrying him, forcing her to give birth to it anyway on October 2, 2004. In spite of the baby's death, they named it Michael anyway. Later that month, the Reimanns began renovating their basement, turning it into a dungeon, and started abducting teenage runaway girls, starting with Monica Winmar. Robert would impregnate the victims and hold them captive for years until they gave birth to a healthy child in an attempt to recreate his and Linda's lost child. If the victims gave birth to a girl, the baby would be placed outside churches in order for them to be adopted by the state and the mothers were killed shortly thereafter. However, if the victims gave birth to a boy and it died, the victims were kept alive so they can deliver another baby. Once they received a healthy baby boy, they kept it, called it Michael, and kept the victim, starting the cycle of impregnation with the same victim again.

Cradle to Grave
Kristie Taylor, the third victim, who was abducted three years prior, had several miscarriages until finally successfully giving birth to a daughter. Since she could not provide him and Linda a son, Robert killed her and dumped her body near a highway. The BAU was called in after her body was found and local police connected the pattern to two other victims. After a long and tiresome investigation, they were able to track down Robert and Linda, who at the time had fourth stage breast cancer, and arrested them both, rescuing two women and two boys, one of them a baby, in the process.
