Miranda Dracar

Miranda Jakar was a traumatized, prolific serial-turned-spree killer and family annihilator who appeared in Outfoxed.

History
Miranda was born in Sarajevo in 1982. She was orphaned at a young age and adopted by a family in Srebrenica. Before long, the Yugoslav Wars broke out and Miranda was caught in the middle of the fighting, bearing witness to the Srebrenica massacre. She would later move around the world to Italy and England. The trauma she sustained combined with her psychotic tendencies caused her to to have psychological breaks that drove her to kill whenever she was reminded of the war, resulting in the deaths of a total of seven people, three of them children. In 2007 or 2008, she moved to Virginia in the U.S. In 2008, she had another psychological break brought on by the sound of military planes practicing for an air show and killed the Williams family. In 2009, airplanes practicing for an air-show to be held on Langley's 50-year anniversary drove her to kill the Downey family. Three days later, the BAU arrive to aid in the investigation. They found out that a family annihilator they had caught four years ago, Karl Arnold, a.k.a. "The Fox", had received envelopes containing newspaper clippings about the murders along with a note reading, "Look at what I've done." It was signed "An Admirer". Hotch and Prentiss went to the Red Onion State Prison where Karl was held to interview him and ask for advice regarding the current killings.

The same day, the airplanes and crowds drove Miranda to kill again. This gave the BAU several clues that helped them. They realized that Karl's "admirer" had nothing to do with the murders. After narrowing down the suspect list and using Interpol's database, they learned that Miranda's fingerprints were found on three other crime scenes in different countries. Garcia noticed that all of the U.S. victims used the same website, Photobug, to communicate. When she applied the BAU's profile to the list of employees, she found Miranda's name. When they got to her residence, they found the name of her next victims, the Youngs. They hurried over to their house, which Miranda had already infiltrated. When Morgan searched the rooms, Miranda flew out of the doorway and tackled him to the ground. They tussled over the gun, hers going off several times missing him. Noticing his sidearm laying out of his reach, Morgan overpowers her, and forces her own gun into her abdomen, firing once. After Morgan frees himself, he sees a now-dead Miranda with her blank eyes staring at him as blood is oozing from her nose and mouth. It is shortly revealed that Karl's "admirer" was actually George Foyet, who was actually meaning to be Hotch's "admirer" and was using Karl to carry out his message to Hotch.

Profile
The unsub is a Caucasian woman aged in her late 20s, who is armed and suffering a major psychological break and will not hesitate to kill again. Based on the burial sites of her victims resembling mass graves, she was most likely born into conflict. She committed her first murders in Croatia, where between 1991 and 1995, the locals fought a battle for independence and Serbian forces tried to ethnically cleanse over 40,000 Bosnian Muslims. Having lived in a city full of military families and vehicles, she is reenacting her life experiences onto the victims. The only mass graves reminiscent of the ones the unsub has created were found all over Bosnia after the war, but none of them rival the mass graves of Srebrenica, which was surrounded by Bosnian-Serb forces in 1995 and subsequently created a massacre. This traumatized her and caused her to become a psychopath. She came to the U.S. a few years ago, is likely on foot, likely of eastern-European descent, speaks little-to-no English, and will attempt to fight her way out if she is cornered.

Modus Operandi
Miranda targeted military families whose fathers were serving overseas, usually waiting a few months so the families had gotten used to them not being there. She would infiltrate the house, take one of the children hostage to make the others compliant, shoot the mothers and sons and in some way suffocate (or in the case of Lucy Downey, drown) the teenage daughters. After that, she took jewelry and cash from the bodies and the house and buried the bodies in a single shallow grave in the backyard. She would also shoot a photograph of the fathers.
