Wallace Hines

Wallace Hines was a psychotic spree killer.

Profile
The unsub is a white male in his early 30s. Initially he targeted white, blond women in their 20s but is expanding his victim pool. His M.O. is to rape his victims and then shoot them in the heart. At the disposal sites, he poses them as if they're praying. He's trying to convey a message that only he understands. Before he kills his victims, he forces the women to consume human flesh, known as projected cannibalism. Typically cannibalism is a willing choice, but the act of forcing someone to engage in it is a form of torture. This means the unsub is sadistic and most likely delusional. The emergence of those delusions would have caused difficulties in his relationships and jobs in the past. He may have been institutionalized or locked up as a result. He sees himself as an enforcer and is punishing these women for their sins. He may have an overly developed sense of morality and feels the need to superimpose this on others. He preferred to shot his victims in the heart, suggesting that he's been hurt by somebody who's clearly the center of his rage. He's devolving rapidly and could resort to even more extreme measures to punish his victims.
