Colby Bachner is a serial killer, stalker, abductor, and the submissive partner of a father-son killing team with his father Lee Mullens, a.k.a. The Butcher. They appear in the Season Six episode of Criminal Minds, "Remembrance of Things Past".

History[]

See the Lee Mullens and Colby Bachner article

Modus Operandi[]

"I upped the volts on the charger. I think that helped."

Along with Lee, Colby targeted Caucasian blondes in their 20s. He and Lee abducted their victims by luring them in with the ruse that one or the other was in serious need of aid before pushing her in a van and knocking her out with a blow to the head. After his victims were electrocuted and sodomized like his father's original victims, he stabbed them reluctantly alongside Lee. Colby also made the victim read from a script to reenact his father's last murders. Prior to the abductions, Colby would stalk the victims, take pictures of them, and learn their daily schedules so he could select the best options for Lee.
