Terrance Wakeland

Terrance Wakeland is a serial killer who appeared in Season Two of Criminal Minds.

Background
A freelance musician Terrance worked as a security guard at the failing recording studio A&L Studio in Mount Vernon, New York. Pretending to be a music producer Terrance murdered both Keisha Andrews and Vickie Williams, recording their singing in the studio beforehand and making the deaths look like random hate crimes by painting swatikass on them to keep the authorities off his trail.

Fear and Loathing
Going to meet talent show winner Sandra Davis in the park one night Terrance is confronted by her ex-boyfriend Ken, who he shoots in the chest to get him out of the way. Approaching the hysterical Sandra after killing her ex Terrance demands she get in his car and when the girl runs Terrance chases her and beats her to death, inflicting several post-mortem stab wounds to the body. After killing Sandra and dragging her body to the curb Terrance paints a swastika on Ken's car. Without a recording of Sandra's voice Terrance drove around her house on a few occasions, but eventually moved on to kill another girl, Naomi Daye.

Terrance takes Ally Hadley to the studio sometime after Naomi's death, recording her singing before drugging her. As Ally grows disoriented Terrance begins ranting and beating her, but is incapacitated when the girl kicks him in the groin before running outside. Finding Ally weakly asking for help from a police officer Terrance convinces the cop that Ally is his younger cousin and that she had snuck out and gotten high on something. Claiming that he is going to take Ally home Terrance begins to leave with her, but is surrounded by the police and BAU and is arrested by Morgan.

Profile
Terrance was a sexually motivated killer who found release in something he took from his victims, in his case their voice. The profile created by the BAU described him as being a black male in the age range of twenty to thirty-five who would be intelligent and a smooth talker, able to make people around him feel at ease and easily gain the confidence of his victims.

Modus Operandi
Terrance would approach his victims at places such as churches and talent shows, claiming to be a music producer and offering them his card. When the girls arranged a meeting with him Terrance would have them perform at A&L Studios and drug them with a GHB-laced water bottle before brutalizing them. Terrance would finish his victims off by stabbing them in the chest, painting a swastika on their face (to make the murder look like a hate crime) afterward.
