Ellen Connell

Ellen Connell is a psychotic female spree killer who appeared in Season Ten of Criminal Minds.

Background
Prior to "Fate", Ellen was involved in a car accident that also involved the car of Abby Benson and her friend. Ellen was the one who caused the accident, which happened after her tires slipped on the wet road. Abby was paralyzed from the waist down, her friend was killed, and Ellen suffered damage to her frontal lobe, forcing her to undergo hundreds of days of physical therapy. When she was finally released, Ellen was prone to flying into rages, which were no longer held in control due to her damaged frontal lobe. As a result, she began killing random people to vent out her anger, and wound up being remorseful afterwards.

Modus Operandi
Ellen came across her victims at some point in her work, which led her to select them randomly. Whenever she attacked them, she would stab them dozens of times. Afterwards, once her rationality returned, she would clean them up of their blood and then redress them in fresh clothes. She would then dispose of the original bloody clothes in the victims' closets. The victims were usually attacked in their homes, with the exception of Jessica Randall, who was killed in her workplace.
