Arthur Brodie

Arthur Brodie is a sex offender and suspect in the kidnappings of Wayne Hollis in the Season Fourteen episode "Hamelin".

Background
Born on August 15, 1968 in Wesser, Iowa, Brodie lived with his mother and had employment as an assembly plant graveyard shift worker. He was arrested several times from 1998-2006 for various sex-related crimes. His last arrest was for statutory rape, for which he served 12 years before being released a month before the abductions began. Brodie also called in sick for work the night the victims were abducted.

Hamelin
Brodie is brought up to the BAU by Garcia while she was digging for Iowa sex offenders. He is first seen at a school eerily watching two girls talking with each other. Tara and Reid confront Brodie at the school and quickly see past his various excuses not to search him or his white van. He stands up and attempts to assault Tara but he is quickly subdued by Reid and arrested. Back at the station Brodie is questioned by Prentiss and Rossi about the abductions. After interrogating Brodie, they conclude he lacks the criminal sophistication necessary to pull off the abductions (concluding he's a moron by his nonsensical defenses). Due to the charges mentioned by Prentiss (parole violation and assault on a Federal agent), it's safe to assume Brodie is incarcerated afterwards.
