The Devil You Don't Know: Haven Profiles (Arla Cogan aka Bolt Gun unsub)

Note: This profile supersedes all previous profiles for this subject. Earlier versions are available for record-keeping and reference purposes only. Much of the data from this profile is identical to the 12/3/12 profile, differing mainly in gendered pronouns, though we have of course taken pains to update the data as relevant.
Date: 1/31/2013
Subject Name: Arla Cogan
DOB: Unknown, presumed approx 1955
Gender: Female (though has assumed male form frequently and at length)
Age: Actual age approximately mid-50s, apparent age has varied from late 20s to mid 60s
Place of Examination: Data compiled at Chandler/Hammett Investigations offices
Occupation: Unknown
Marital Status: Complicated. Married to James Cogan, though has been separated from him due to outside interference for 27 years. Unclear if either subject or her husband are currently alive.
Race: Troubled
Classification: SR-BD-####



Presents with: Narcissistic sociopath. Believes her feelings are applicable or comparable to others in the face of no data to support said theory and, in fact, contradictory data. Knew prior incarnation of subject IN-#### and appears to have disliked the one taking the name Lucy Ripley. Has at this time committed at least twelve known murders with a strong likelihood for additional victims we are unlikely to discover at this time, all but two premeditated, as well as one burglary, also premeditated, and two instances of kidnapping and battery, one a double, which was not premeditated. Subject is capable of blending in with the populace at large, in no small part due to her Trouble, but also due to an ability to process and respond to changes in her logistical environment rapidly and coherently, though this ability markedly deteriorates when subject is confronted with emotional content that contradicts her calcified assessment of other people. Based on the assorted appearances assumed that we know of, probably spent much of the years between outbreaks of Troubles as a loner with few friends, though we lack confirmation. Certainly she spent the intervening decades becoming increasingly target-fixed on her husband, one James Cogan aka The Colorado Kid (cf file XX-####). Subject was alive at the time of the last resurgence of the Troubles in 1983, though based on childish memories of Lucy Ripley (tending to view all iterations of subject IN-#### as an interfering mother-in-law) the likelihood is that she lacked emotional maturity whatever her chronological age at the time. She remembers the death of the Colorado Kid and details surrounding the events that others do not, probably having been present for events that subjects TD-BD-#### and TL-BD-#### were not. In light of current data, we believe the subject was not present for whatever event triggered the group amnesia surrounding the details of James Cogan's death, or perhaps this amnesia is in fact not supernaturally based but instead the result of a concentrated misinformation campaign on the part of the Teagues and/or Lucy Ripley. Until she was brought to the culmination of her goals, subject maintained a careful distance from Audrey Parker, preferring indirect and manipulative methods of interrogation without revealing her true identity. Moreover, subject is capable of drastically altering MO and tactics in order to confuse an ongoing investigation. She is also, in classic serial killer fashion, inclined to insert herself into the investigation (in this case literally, by changing skins for an out of town detective) so that she can keep track of lines of inquiry and deflect any that might touch too closely on her true location, motives, etc.

Subject was observed in interactions with her husband in a highly maternal role, suggesting that her model for romantic relationships is a highly rigid and specific one involving the wife as aesthetically appealing caretaker and man as earner and head of household. According to subject's testimony, her Trouble was triggered sometime in 1983 by causes unknown though implied to be related to her husband's death, with apparently no prior knowledge that such a Trouble existed in her family line. However, given the subject's tendency to prevaricate and justify her actions on the flimsiest substance, we cannot take this as fully credible. Subject may also believe that she is telling the truth as she knows it, but be lacking in either specific or general data which would alter a more objective narration of her situation. She has also been observed to contort her worldview rather than assimilate new data; for example, in her negotiations with Duke Crocker she remained uncomprehending that a person could be in love with someone and not then take any action possible to establish a romantic relationship. This, combined with her increasing desperation to retain the affections and life of her husband in an isolated environment that in no respect included IN-#### led her to believe Crocker's assertions that he was willing to provide assistance and thus led her directly into a trap. Subject seemed incapable of planning with her customary dispassion, presumably due to whatever vestiges of normal human conscience remained to her as well as being unaccustomed to protecting another person in actuality rather than in concept. This combined to destroy her plans, which she appeared to have little defined final objective(s) for past reacquiring James Cogan from the barn and ensuring Audrey Parker's disappearance from Haven, when IN-#### invited her into the barn (a Trouble-nullifying space) and forced her husband to confront the reality of who the subject was and what she had done. This induced a final desperate attempt to regain control of the situation by attacking IN-####, which led first to her husband's death as he attempted to protect his mother and then to her accidental death by IN-####'s hand upon a second attempt. Though her body was placed outside the barn, it was engulfed in the cataclysm due to PT-TR-####'s actions and may be presumed to be within the barn at this time; in what state is a matter for speculation (see below).

Observations & Speculation: All early to mid-project data indicated a highly organized mind, capable of long term strategy and adaptable to changing circumstances, up to and including presenting as disorganized (see: ATM attack footage) in order to muddy her trail. The subject has contingency plans for her contingency plans, though most likely kept in linear fashion and none so complicated as to require extensive note-taking to follow. If subject feels the need to keep information in external form at all, she probably does so in the privacy of the repurposed warehouse and/or uses a form of personalized shorthand. It is an interesting exercise in speculation to consider what, then, was taken from the Teagues' offices in terms of information or if there were items overlooked in the subsequent search to determine what was missing, if the misleading signs of the invasion were meant as a threat (the bolt gun hole in the storage cabinet) and a search for information, or whether this burglary was in fact a lure designed to bring the Teagues brothers out to a secluded location where the subject could attempt to interrogate them. If the latter, it was one of the subject's sloppier plans, potentially several down the contingency list, as she appeared impatient and anxious throughout the interrogation. Indeed, though all indications had been that of a killer who understands that torture rarely works for acquisition of reliable data, she seemed not to care about this during the time. Since she spent a considerable length of time with subjects TD-BD-#### and TL-BD-####, either this was a further ruse to mislead them about her intelligence and abilities or this marks a lapse in self-control. Later data indicates the latter as being the case, given that the Teagues have shown every sign of knowing a great deal about both the barn and James Cogan, and subject presumably inferred from this that they knew her husband was in the barn and, perhaps, how to get him back. This was the earliest major indicator of the extent of subject's target fixation and potential regret for the past circumstances which led her to this point; nevertheless, subject did not appear cognizant of any alternatives to carrying out her plan.

Subject has demonstrated familiarity with Haven and its surroundings, indicating that she not only lived in the area for the 27 intervening years, but moved around it as well, and possibly the surrounding lands. We know that the subject was familiar with at minimum the land around Kick 'Em Jenny Neck, and it is highly likely that she took advantage of her time to familiarize herself with other of Haven's waterways and islands; we do know that she was competent to pilot a speedboat while falsifying her own death, as well as handle explosives in order to do so. The familiarity probably extends to the history of Haven's inhabitants, which would explain occasional displays of antagonism to Duke Crocker mirroring the antagonism other Troubled individuals have expressed. Subject is aware of the nature of the Crocker Trouble and may have been acquainted with Simon Crocker in the 1980s, which would account for much of her attitude toward his son. Due primarily to her Trouble, she rarely uses a conventional firearm in her attacks, preferring a penetrating or free-bolt captive bolt gun (which subject claims to have personally modified) and a taser. This may additionally indicate that she has a knowledge of law enforcement techniques, including ballistic databases, and prefers to use more esoteric weapons in order to obfuscate her trail, though the primary reason is to retain maximum integrity of the skins she wishes to use in whole or in part. At this time we consider it unlikely that she does not know how to use conventional weapons to their fullest capacity, though she seems untrained in same based on her firing from the hip at subject PT-TR-####. Although a bolt gun is not a conventional weapon as such, it is common in rural areas where cattle are raised for slaughter and a taser is, of course, untraceable by the injuries as well as leaving the skin intact for future use. The fact that the subject did not use the bolt gun on Chief Wuornos is indicative not only of the extenuating circumstances at the time but, we would guess, her personal assessment that she could not pretend to be Wuornos to a convincing degree. Nonetheless, the inability to acquire that skin may have weighed on the subject's mind as a failure of planning.

Subject has displayed resourcefulness in choosing time and location for attacking her victims, as well as adaptability when events did not go precisely as planned. She is capable of assigning broad goals with flexibility in how she accomplishes them, and is highly intelligent. For all that, the subject is prone to target fixation and transference, and is inclined to a superiority complex as a result of her high intelligence. She is, in short, accustomed to being the smartest person in the room and potentially incapable of acknowledging otherwise. Though dangerous, this is a weakness that can be exploited, and indeed was, by subject ST-BD-#### in tricking her to bring James Cogan to the barn. Subject twice attempted to establish rapport with Audrey Parker, first as Roslyn Toomey and subsequently as Thomas Bowen; in the latter case subject attempted both empathy and offering personal information as a lure, and has been seen to attempt various crude forms of manipulation with both Cogan and Crocker. Due to IN-####'s general unwillingness to establish rapport with a known criminal (despite her proclivity to do exactly this with Troubled individuals), these attempts failed to yield any significant information for the subject's purposes and led to several confrontations, culminating at the barn. Subject's target fixation and ability to plan notably disintegrated when confronted with the object of her fixation, and in some respects we find that she is more competent (albeit in a destructive direction) without her husband.

A brief, more contextual description of the serial murders and additional criminal activity follows: The initial murders which took place approximately six weeks prior to the events surrounding the courthouse, were conducted outside of the presence of witnesses and concealed by burial in a shallow grave in a field outside of the county in which the other murders took place and by burning and concealment of the victim's car in the other murder. This victim gave the subject a chin for her patchwork reproduction of her original appearance. Given the timeline, we are assuming that the subject was wearing Grady's skin for this murder [no other name known], though it is certainly possible that she used an alternate model. That said, Grady's murder took place approximately six weeks prior to the events surrounding the courthouse as well, which makes it presumably the first murder out of this pair. Lacking a more specific time of death, we cannot state this with precision, unfortunately. It is at this point worth noting that the body observed by [redacted] as buried by Tommy Bowen was also buried in a shallow grave in a similar manner and at a similar point in the timeline. The third murder combined misdirection with acquisition of a skin for a sympathetic 'victim' during the subject's interrogation of IN-#### designation Audrey Parker. She may or may not have been aware that killing Roslyn Toomey would trigger her son's Trouble; regardless of how deliberate the manipulation was, it nonetheless resulted in keeping all parties busy who otherwise would have prioritized her kidnapping. The manipulation of Audrey Parker by a supposedly sympathetic ear was deliberate, as suspected, and based on the brief physical description of the captor, we can assume she was switching between Grady and Roslyn Toomey at this time. This is notable for being the only known instance of the subject wearing a female skin that was not her original or her replacement. Between this murder and the next, the subject burglarized the Haven Herald offices in a deliberately misleading and very successful attempt to rattle the brothers Teagues. The only known target was a duplicate of the key to their fishing shack; however, it is highly likely based on admitted subsequent use of Claire Callahan's psychiatric notes that she would have also made use of any other non-publicly available information she found. The fourth murder was committed during the series of murders and attempted murders committed by Harry Nix, and though the surgical removal of the nose in no way resembles the more organic removal of the internal organs performed by Harry Nix, it should not and did not remain concealed from the police in this fashion. We believe that this murder also took place while the subject was wearing Grady's skin, though there were additional victims all of these victims appear to have been female for the purposes of compiling the subject's final skin and less suited to violent tactics. The fifth murder was that of Detective Thomas Bowen, BPD, and at this point we are forced to assume luck and use of abruptly available resources on the part of the subject, rather than any long term manipulation. The subject could not have known that Bowen would follow the case up to Haven from Boston, even if she managed to trigger Nix's Trouble on purpose. This shows an extreme adaptability to changing circumstances well beyond most serial killers. The sixth murder was committed in broad daylight, in front of an ATM camera which the subject by all previous indications would have known was recording, and the body was left at the scene. Lack of removal of the body may indicate that the subject was interrupted post-removal of the hair and scalp, but there is no evidence to this effect at this time. As the evidence eventually led to the discovery of Grady's body, it is at this time uncertain whether this was long-term planning or an accidental discovery due to the Guard tattoo present on Grady's forearm. The seventh murder came with subject PT-TR-####'s accidental discovery of the bolt gun in 'Thomas Bowen's' car, leading the subject to kill Wuornos, torture and interrogate subjects TD-BD-#### and TL-BD-#### for information regarding the Colorado Kid, the barn, and subject IN-####, and subsequently fabricate her death via explosion. The eighth and final murder was that of Claire Callahan subsequent to the explosion, in order for the subject to retain access to IN-####'s inner circle while not attempting to mimic the behavior of any better-known quantities. Additionally, somewhere in the vicinity of nine murders total were committed in order for the subject to complete her patchwork skin and regain an approximation of her original appearance. One of these murders resulted in the only known victim to survive an attack by the subject, though given that it was only due to his being Troubled that he awoke from his coma we are unsurprised that she elected not to finish the job. William Brady would have been an unlikely candidate for the subject to use as a skin, having few connections within Haven, although if subject had wanted to investigate his research on the history of the town he might have been an ideal target. Regardless, she was in this instance disrupted in her usual patterns by the presence of a victim which she could not reasonably carry off, and thus presumably attempted to conceal the attack as random by using blunt force trauma rather than the bolt gun. It is also this attack which allowed us to note the repeated use of "hush" as a signal for the subject's murderous intent; this suggests a coping mechanism for the subject to assimilate the fact that she is causing harm by associating violent acts with a word indicating passivity. Without further data we cannot make a firm ruling, but it seems likely that this is a dehumanizing tactic so that the subject may more easily dissociate from her acts and the people harmed by them.

These incidents tell us as much as the more subtle tells, giving us a broad pattern of behavior to work from. We believe that the subject knew of the Toomey family's Trouble, possibly from her and James Cogan's stay at the Inn presuming the testimony given under the guise of Roslyn Toomey is correct, and deliberately chose her location for kidnapping Audrey Parker in a successful attempt to trigger the son's Trouble, thereby providing a distraction for Parker's friends during the interrogation. This further indicates either confidence in subjects PT-TR-#### and ST-BD-####'s ability to mitigate Troubles without subject IN-####, or knowledge of ST-BD-####'s Trouble and assumption that he would use it if necessary to save the town. Subject's earlier murders demonstrate long-term planning on the scale of weeks ranging to months; while she was presumably planning for longer it is also plausible that she had to wait for her Trouble to reawaken. We do not at this time know what caused her Trouble to trigger this cycle. Depending on when she began to develop this plan, this could demonstrate very long-term patience and planning, or it could demonstrate strong medium-term planning with a highly developed ability to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. We do not at this time believe that the subject was responsible in any way for the arrival of Thomas Bowen, merely that she understood the prospects that would open to her and seized them without hesitation. Moreover, given the subject's knowledge of Bowen's enemies in Boston, it is likely that she questioned the detective extensively prior to death in order to improve her deception of Parker and Wuornos; this is borne out by her comments to IN-#### regarding Callahan's case files making it easier to duplicate her patterns of behavior. Following this, she committed a murder in front of an ATM camera while in Grady's skin, so that any disparities between her behavior and Bowen's could be overlooked in relation to the BGK murders and indeed, presumably were explained away as a newcomer settling into dealing with the Troubles. The extent to which this shows adaptability and cunning is disconcerting, as most serial killers do not deviate from their preferred methods; nonetheless this fits the pattern of resourcefulness and multiple contingencies, and many of the usual guidelines must be looked at in light of the unique nature of the Troubles as well as the subject's overall motivation for the murders. As most serial killers are attempting to recreate an event or sensation and control the circumstances of that repeated incident, the subject stands out for being goal oriented in her criminal behavior rather than repetitive. Given that the subject's murders were all eventually uncovered, we consider it likely that if she planned this for years, she always intended to return to the barn with James and/or leave Haven entirely, thereby negating any repercussions from law enforcement. It is also a strong possibility that subject's target fixation inclined her to care little about repercussions or discovery so long as her husband either did not learn of her crimes or did not reject her for them (assuming she ever believed he would). Subject has expressed varying degrees of self-satisfaction (depending on circumstances) with her ability to murder and escape detection while working as a member of the police department. This, along with the evident enjoyment in layering her words, is what leads us to include narcissism in our profile.

Despite the initial awkwardness and near-forceful inviting herself into Haven PD's investigations, the subject acquitted herself well while masquerading as a Haven police officer and proceeded through several cases involving the Troubled without breaking her cover in ways that could not be mitigated by emphasizing those aspects of her persona that were 'big city cop' and de-emphasizing her knowledge of Haven, though she clearly enjoys word games that allow her to feel superior. Of note is the comment to Duke Crocker taken from within the Holloway House where she refers in a derisive and disbelieving manner to aliens and mermen, questioning whether they exist in Haven. At least the reference to aliens was a clear jab of superiority over having set off Toomey's Trouble, though it is unclear what the subject knows about either the tattoo or its prevalence within the Glendower family. It is highly likely that she did recognize it as well as its significance, and therefore her comment about mermen may be taken as gamesmanship and superiority as well. Although 'Detective Bowen' had no reason to suspect there was a Trouble involved in the killings, one of her first questions to Chief Wuornos was if Wuornos believed there were "Troubley people" involved, which may be taken both as an inquiry into the investigation and a taunt that Wuornos was not aware this was being carried out by a Troubled individual.

She gained the trust of Chief Wuornos and contributed to the apprehension of several criminals. Though this was done in furtherance of her other goals at the time, it indicates a depth of conviction and ability to put aside her primary goals in order to acquire more information about her target(s) that should worry said targets. Indeed, there were several indications that 'Detective Bowen' was not everything she claimed to be, as detailed below. Despite this, she was able to considerably obscure and potentially delay the investigation into the murders she had committed. It was 'Detective Bowen's suggestion that the murderer was taking trophies, leading to a delay in understanding the original purpose and, most likely, leading the police away from the conclusion of a simulated skin. Too, as indicated above, the subject was able to inquire without suspicion as to the progress of the investigation into the murders and determine if and how much she had been discovered.

Following the conclusion of the Harry Nix case and 'Bowen's' decision to remain in Haven, Vince and Dave Teagues conducted a somewhat haphazard and ill-disguised investigation into the detective's past, at which point they were discovered and confronted in the Herald offices by the subject. Contradictory to her earlier demeanor, for this confrontation she was calm, with less rapid-fire vocal delivery and gestures with hands and arms. Her posture was distinct and aggressive without pushing forward, indicating both a greater calm than she showed previously while dealing with the Nix case and a greater level of patience, as well as an ability to shade her words with layers of intent and meaning. She also inquired into the Teagues' investigation into the serial killer, in a manner which exceeded what should have been the scope of her knowledge. Although the Teagues have a history of inserting themselves into police investigations, it is highly unlikely that Wuornos would have indicated that 'Detective Bowen' should refrain from sharing information with the Teagues beyond the degree to which the police maintain a policy of not sharing information with the press. The question, as well as the phrasing, therefore indicates that the subject was aware of the Teagues' investigation into the Bolt Gun murders.

The increased degree of patience and subtle aggression came into play later, as well, when the brothers Teagues attempted to blackmail or otherwise coerce 'Bowen' into doing their bidding at that time and in the future. Although she displayed no indication of intent to use the information she has, she did describe a complicated set of financial and legal arrangements which should have taken more than 24-48 hours to verify, working around her current caseload. The summation of these arrangements being that the Teagues own half of the commercial real estate in Haven as well as a significant amount of liquid assets; all of this should have taken a considerable amount of time and work from a forensic accountant to establish and verify, time which if it had been the real Thomas Bowen he would not have had between the initial confrontation and the second meeting. We would guess that, in addition to having spent some considerable time digging into the Teagues' background, the subject acquired some intangible data from the break-in at the Herald which she used to further that line of inquiry; the initial round of information-gathering probably predates all other data we have on the subject. Further information is required though unlikely at this time.

This suspicious behavior continued in a pattern of reflexes that were not indicative of good police detective skills (leaving her gun unattended on a surface in a location known to be malevolent) and inquiries that showed an attentiveness outside her initial interest (continually asking about Audrey Parker despite not having a reason to expect a close relationship between her and Chief Wuornos, although admittedly they are partnered at the police station; asking questions regarding her trip to Colorado despite having no plausible reason to want to know about a 27-year old cold case). During an investigation into a series of suspicious deaths and murders as well as resurrections, 'Bowen' was discovered to have traveled to several locations connected to the Bolt Gun unsub, and upon this and the discovery of a captive bolt pistol concealed in her trunk, the subject shot Chief Wuornos twice in the chest at close range with no hesitation. Her body language during this time was notably not that of a police officer; instead she appeared almost mercenary in her decision-making process, more calculating than acting on either cop or fixation-based instinct. She did not fire the first shot from a raised arm position as police officers are trained to do, firing from the hip instead on the first shot and then only slightly forward on the second, most likely due to Wuornos's closer proximity. She then proceeded to deceive, badly, Officer Audrey Parker and Duke Crocker with the intent of blaming the current suspect in the murder-and-resurrection blackmail scheme. This indicates that though the subject is capable of both long term planning and seizing new opportunities as they are presented to her, the events surrounding Chief Wuornos' death were further down her list of contingency plans than he might have preferred.

We must assume that the subject has learned a great deal about Haven's residents, though her information is lacking as regards subjects IN-#### and XX-#### at a minimum due to the overwhelming nature of her target fixation. However, we may speculate to some degree on her past history. Subject claimed that she was locked out of the barn and left alone while the barn resurrected James Cogan. Assuming that this data is accurate insofar as events, without regard for the motivations and elided actions of any of the known or unknown participants in them, subject would then have been affixed to whatever skin she had acquired when her Trouble first activated. We do not at this time know who that person was, though we have assigned data-mining duties; this knowledge would be extremely helpful in learning about subject's intervening years in and around Haven, including any potential associations with persons of interest both past and present.   Evidence at present tends to indicate that subject led a solitary existence, disdaining new connections and remaining target-fixed on the next round of Troubles; it is even possible that she left Haven for some time after the 1983 cessation of the Troubles. Nor do we know what activated the subject's Trouble in this iteration, though we may speculate that it was related to IN-#### and/or the barn in some way this is not a certainty. It is also possible, based on when subject began to most obviously operate, that her Trouble was triggered in response to the appearance of a dead person known to her due to the Hopkins Trouble. Again, further data is required.

At this time subject's status remains in flux. There are several probabilities at work, and without more information from a reliable source on the mechanisms of the barn we cannot commit to any as most likely. The first and least likely probability is that subject is not within the barn (or whatever remains of it) but is instead in some other kind of bubble reality, in which case it is unlikely in the extreme that she will return reanimated. Far more likely is that she is within the barn, and here we must separate several probabilities. It has been suggested that the barn responds to IN-####'s as far as opting to heal other denizens; however, given its unstable status at this time there is no certainty that this will remain the case. Furthermore, subject XX-#### has been within the barn for a substantial period of time, and may have gained similar control over the structure due to both this and his biological relationship with IN-####. Finally, we do not know that the barn truly prioritizes IN-####'s intent, or if that was intended to placate her when James Cogan was killed for a second time. Thus, we can in no way accurately predict the revivification potential, though we suspect it to be fairly low.

History (Clinical): The subject has not been brought in for questioning, nor do we consider it reasonable to expect her to be brought in at any point should the barn resuscitate her. We will confine ourselves to expanding our profile as we acquire further information via observation of subject and/or those who have had sufficient contact with her to be a source of known biases regarding her actions.
History (Family): Subject was married to James Cogan aka the Colorado Kid; both parties may now be deceased and/or beyond our reach at this time, hence the use of the past tense. (If both parties survive, it would be unsurprising if James requested a divorce.) Subject's biological family remains unknown, as does her maiden name. We do not at present believe that subject had any children, given her attitude toward subject IN-####; we expect if subject had a maternal relationship with anyone it would be difficult for her to be apart from the child.
History (Medical): All medical history for this subject is elusive and impossible to track, given the nature of her Trouble. Recent events suggest that she was killed by accidental stab wound to the torso; however, since she was drawn into the barn this may be a temporary condition.
Recommended Action: Shift to Kitty and Adsartha for confirmation of death; should subject be revived return to assigned shifts as originally noted. If death is confirmed, this profile and its predecessors may be useful after a suitable period of time in training new recruits.



Note: This profile supersedes all previous profiles for this unsub. Earlier versions are available for record-keeping and reference purposes only.
Date: 12/3/2012
Subject Name: Unknown
DOB: Unknown
Gender: Male (though has been known to assume female form)
Age: Mid 30s to mid 60s (unsub appears to prefer adults in this approximate age range)
Place of Examination: Data compiled at Chandler/Hammett Investigations offices
Occupation: Unknown
Marital Status: Unknown, though likely single
Race: Troubled
Classification: SR-BD-####

Presents with: Narcissistic sociopath. Believes his feelings are applicable or comparable to others in the face of no data to support said theory and, in fact, contradictory data. Knew prior incarnation of subject IN-#### and appears to have disliked the one taking the name Lucy Ripley. Has at this time committed seven known murders, all but one premeditated, as well as one burglary, also premeditated, and a double kidnapping-battery, not premeditated. Subject is capable of blending in with the populace at large, in no small part due to his Trouble, but also due to an ability to process and respond to changes in his environment rapidly and coherently. Is probably known as something of a loner even if he has family. At this point the likelihood of family is rapidly diminishing, as subject may not have a primary appearance. Unlikely to have many friends; may be a leader within a larger group but if so prefers sycophantic relationships to a relationship of trust and mutual understanding and sharing. Too, no such group has been observed and the subject's time has largely been accounted for in the last five weeks. Subject was alive at the time of the last resurgence of the Troubles in 1983, though judging by childish attitude toward memories of Lucy Ripley and his reference to 'you two' rather than any other number, most likely was relatively young at the time. He remembers the death of the Colorado Kid and details surrounding the events that others do not, potentially having been present for events that subjects TD-BD-#### and TL-BD-#### were not. These memories also indicate a resistance to the amnesia, which (presuming the amnesia is due to the same cause as the Troubles) may indicate as well a resistance to the Troubles, not unlike subject IN-####. Alternately, subject may not have been present for the event which triggered the amnesia; insufficient data to rule one way or the other. The unsub has not attempted to directly contact or interrogate Audrey Parker, nor has he indicated any further intent to continue his initial line of questioning, though he has made inquiries while in the persona of Thomas Bowen as to Audrey Parker's relationships and status of her investigation into the Colorado Kid. Subject is capable of drastically altering MO and tactics in order to confuse an ongoing investigation. He is also, in classic serial killer fashion, inclined to insert himself into the investigation (in this case literally, by changing skins for an out of town detective) so that he can keep track of lines of inquiry and deflect any that might touch too closely on his true location, motives, etc.

Observations: All data so far indicates a highly organized mind, capable of long term strategy and adaptable to changing circumstances, up to and including presenting as disorganized (see: ATM attack footage) in order to muddy his trail. The subject has contingency plans for his contingency plans, though probably none so complicated as to require extensive note-taking to follow. If subject feels the need to keep information in external form at all, he probably has a secret place to do so and/or a form of personalized shorthand. It is an interesting exercise in speculation to consider what, then, was taken from the Teagues' offices in terms of information or if there were items overlooked in the subsequent search to determine what was missing, if the misleading signs of the invasion were meant as a threat (the bolt gun hole in the storage cabinet) and a search for information, or whether this burglary was in fact a lure designed to bring the Teagues brothers out to a secluded location where the subject could attempt to interrogate them. If the latter, it was one of the subject's sloppier plans, potentially several down the contingency list, as he appeared impatient and anxious throughout the interrogation. Indeed, though all indications so far have been an unsub who understands that torture rarely works for acquisition of reliable data, he seemed not to care about this during the time. Since he spent a considerable length of time with subjects TD-BD-#### and TL-BD-####, either this was a further ruse to mislead them about his intelligence and abilities or this marks a lapse in self-control. Furthermore, the line of questioning the subject engaged in is extremely telling of his motives, given a possible lapse in control. It is possible that the unsub views the barn as salvation of some kind; whether that comes in the form of wiping his memories (the "past [he is] running from") or acquiring another person to cure his Trouble at minimum temporarily is a matter we can only speculate on.

Subject has demonstrated familiarity with Haven and its surroundings, indicating that the unsub has not only lived in the area for some time but has moved around it as well, and possibly the surrounding lands. A strong likelihood exists, therefore, that the unsub is also familiar with the nearby islands and waterways, and we now know he is able to pilot some form of individual/small watercraft. The familiarity may extend to the history of Haven's inhabitants, which would explain occasional displays of antagonism to Duke Crocker mirroring the antagonism other Troubled individuals have expressed. If the subject is aware of the Crocker Trouble, too, the antagonism may stem from fear that Duke Crocker will attempt to kill the unsub and remove the Trouble entirely. Due primarily to his Trouble, he has not yet used a conventional firearm in his attacks, confining himself to a penetrating or free-bolt captive bolt gun and a taser. This may additionally indicate that he has a knowledge of law enforcement techniques, including ballistic databases, and prefers to use more esoteric weapons in order to obfuscate his trail. At this time we consider it unlikely that he does not know how to use conventional weapons to their fullest capacity, though he seems untrained in same based on his firing from the hip at subject PT-TR-####. Although a bolt gun is not a conventional weapon as such, it is common in rural areas where cattle are raised for slaughter and a taser is, of course, untraceable by the injuries as well as leaving the skin intact for future use. The fact that the unsub did not use the bolt gun on Chief Wuornos is indicative not only of the extenuating circumstances at the time but, we would guess, his personal assessment that he could not pretend to be Wuornos to a convincing degree. Nonetheless, the inability to acquire that skin may weigh on the unsub's mind as a failure of planning.

Subject has displayed resourcefulness in choosing time and location for attacking his victims, as well as adaptability when events did not go precisely as planned. He is capable of assigning broad goals with flexibility in how he accomplishes them, and is highly intelligent. For all that, the unsub is prone to target fixation and transference, and is inclined to a superiority complex as a result of his high intelligence. He is, in short, accustomed to being the smartest person in the room and potentially incapable of acknowledging otherwise. Though dangerous, this is a weakness that can be exploited. If he follows similar patterns to those we are familiar with at C&H, the unsub may well be aware of his lack of personal connections and may be susceptible to our usual strategy in such cases; however, this is purest speculation and there is no data to support that theory. More likely, the subject is susceptible to any attempts to establish rapport that Audrey Parker may extend. Subject has twice now attempted to establish rapport with Audrey Parker, first as Roslyn Toomey and subsequently as Thomas Bowen; in the latter case subject attempted both empathy and offering personal information as a lure, though it is unclear whether the "past [he is] running from" referred to Thomas Bowen or the unsub himself. (Later indications point to the unsub, given his desire to go to the barn which is known to erase memories.) Unfortunately establishing rapport and empathy is not her usual tactic when dealing with a criminal (though it is when dealing with a Troubled individual) and therefore it is safe to assume that for personal and professional reasons, she will not build a relationship that allows her to acquire additional data in a less than physically confrontational setting.

A brief, more contextual description of the seven murders and additional criminal activity follows: The initial murders which took place approximately six weeks prior to the events surrounding the courthouse, were conducted outside of the presence of witnesses and concealed by burial in a shallow grave in a field outside of the county in which the other murders took place and by burning and concealment of the victim's car in the other murder. This victim gave the unsub a chin for his mannequin of subject IN-####. Given the timeline, we are assuming that the unsub was wearing Grady's skin for this murder [no other name known], though it is certainly possible that he used an alternate model. That said, Grady's murder took place approximately six weeks prior to the events surrounding the courthouse as well, which makes it presumably the first murder out of this pair. Lacking a more specific time of death, we cannot state this with precision, unfortunately. It is at this point worth noting that the body observed by [redacted] as buried by Tommy Bowen was also buried in a shallow grave in a similar manner and at a similar point in the timeline. The third murder combined misdirection with acquisition of a skin for a sympathetic 'victim' during the unsub's interrogation of IN-#### designation Audrey Parker. He may or may not have been aware that killing Roslyn Toomey would trigger her son's Trouble; regardless of how deliberate the manipulation was, it nonetheless resulted in keeping all parties busy who otherwise would have prioritized her kidnapping. The manipulation of Audrey Parker by a supposedly sympathetic ear was deliberate, as suspected, and based on the brief physical description of the captor-unsub, we can assume he was switching between Grady and Roslyn Toomey at this time. This is notable for being the only known instance of the unsub wearing a female skin. Between this murder and the next, the unsub burglarized the Haven Herald offices in a deliberately misleading and very successful attempt to rattle the brothers Teagues. The only known target was a duplicate of the key to their fishing shack; however, it is highly likely that he would have also made use of any other non-publicly available information he found. The fourth murder was committed during the series of murders and attempted murders committed by Harry Nix, and though the surgical removal of the nose in no way resembles the more organic removal of the internal organs performed by Harry Nix, it should not and did not remain concealed from the police in this fashion. We believe that this murder also took place while the unsub was wearing Grady's skin, though again, there may well be additional victims of whom we are presently unaware. The fifth murder was that of Detective Thomas Bowen, BPD, and at this point we are forced to assume luck and use of abruptly available resources on the part of the unsub, rather than any long term manipulation. The subject could not have known that Bowen would follow the case up to Haven from Boston, even if subject managed to trigger Nix's Trouble on purpose. This shows an extreme adaptability to changing circumstances well beyond most serial killers. The sixth murder was committed in broad daylight, in front of an ATM camera which the unsub by all previous indications would have known was recording, and the body was left at the scene. Lack of removal of the body may indicate that the unsub was interrupted post-removal of the hair and scalp, but there is no evidence to this effect at this time. As the evidence eventually led to the discovery of Grady's body, it is at this time uncertain whether this was long-term planning or an accidental discovery due to the Guard tattoo present on Grady's forearm. The seventh and final known murder to this point came with subject PT-TR-####'s accidental discovery of the bolt gun in 'Thomas Bowen's' car, leading the subject to kill Wuornos, torture and interrogate subjects TD-BD-#### and TL-BD-#### for information regarding the Colorado Kid, the barn, and subject IN-####, and subsequently fabricate his death via explosion.

These incidents tell us as much as the more subtle tells, giving us a broad pattern of behavior to work from. We believe that the unsub knew of the Toomey family's Trouble and deliberately chose his location for kidnapping Audrey Parker in a successful attempt to trigger the son's Trouble, thereby providing a distraction for Parker's friends during her interrogation. This further indicates either confidence in subjects PT-TR-#### and ST-BD-####'s ability to mitigate Troubles without subject IN-####, or knowledge of ST-BD-####'s Trouble and assumption that he would use it if necessary to save the town. Subject's earlier murders demonstrate long-term planning on the scale of weeks ranging to months; while he may have been planning longer it is also plausible that he had to wait for his Trouble to awaken. (The only similar Trouble we have documented involved complete assumption of personality and memories combined with assumption of a single form for 27 years, followed by disruption of that form due either to age or to the Troubles' return.) Depending on the length of planning, this could demonstrate very long-term patience and planning, or it could demonstrate strong medium-term planning with a highly developed ability to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. We do not at this time believe that the subject was responsible in any way for the arrival of Thomas Bowen, merely that he understood the prospects that would open to him and seized them without hesitation. Moreover, given the subject's knowledge of Bowen's enemies in Boston, it is likely that he questioned the detective extensively prior to death in order to improve his deception of Parker and Wuornos. Following this, he committed a murder in front of an ATM camera while in Grady's skin, so that any disparities between his behavior and Bowen's could be overlooked in relation to the BGK murders and indeed, presumably were explained away as a newcomer settling into dealing with the Troubles. The extent to which this shows adaptability and cunning is disconcerting, as most serial killers do not deviate from their preferred methods; nonetheless this fits the pattern of resourcefulness and multiple contingencies, and many of the usual guidelines must be looked at in light of the unique nature of the Troubles. Given that the subject's murders were all eventually uncovered, I would rate the probability of years-long planning as no higher than 55%. Subject has expressed varying degrees of self-satisfaction (depending on circumstances) with his ability to murder and escape detection while working as a member of the police department. This, along with the evident enjoyment in layering his words, is what leads us to include narcissism in our profile.

Despite the initial awkwardness and near-forceful inviting himself into Haven PD's investigations, the unsub acquitted himself well while masquerading as a Haven police officer and proceeded through several cases involving the Troubled without breaking his cover in ways that could not be mitigated by emphasizing those aspects of his persona that were 'big city cop' and de-emphasizing his knowledge of Haven, though he clearly enjoys word games that allow him to feel superior. Of note is the comment to Duke Crocker taken from within the Holloway House where he refers in a derisive and disbelieving manner to aliens and mermen, questioning whether they exist in Haven. However, as the unsub is not Thomas Bowen and has been definitively established as having contact both with Toomey's Trouble and his noted belief in aliens, he is clearly aware that an extraterrestrial presence has been manifested in Haven as a result. While it is unclear what the unsub knows about either the tattoo or its prevalence within the Glendower family, it is highly likely that he did recognize it as well as its significance, and therefore his comment about mermen may be taken as gamesmanship and superiority as well. Although 'Detective Bowen' had no reason to suspect there was a Trouble involved in the killings, one of his first questions to Chief Wuornos was if Wuornos believed there were "Troubley people" involved, which may be taken both as an inquiry into the investigation and a taunt that Wuornos was not aware this was being carried out by a Troubled individual.

He gained the trust of Chief Wuornos and contributed to the apprehension of several criminals. Though this was done in furtherance of his other goals at the time, it indicates a depth of conviction and ability to put aside his primary goals in order to acquire more information about his target(s) that should worry said targets. Indeed, there were several indications that 'Detective Bowen' was not everything he claimed to be, as detailed below. Despite this, he was able to considerably obscure and potentially delay the investigation into the murders he had committed. It was 'Detective Bowen's suggestion that the murderer was taking trophies, leading to a delay in understanding the original purpose and, most likely, leading the police away from the conclusion of a simulated Audrey Parker, which seems to be the greatest possibility at this time. Too, as indicated above, the unsub was able to inquire without suspicion as to the progress of the investigation into the murders and determine if and how much he had been discovered.

Following the conclusion of the Harry Nix case and 'Bowen's' decision to remain in Haven Vince and Dave Teagues conducted a somewhat haphazard and ill-disguised investigation into the detective's past, at which point they were discovered and confronted in the Herald offices by the subject. Contradictory to his earlier demeanor, for this confrontation he was calm, with less rapid-fire vocal delivery and gestures with hands and arms. His posture was distinct and aggressive without pushing forward, indicating both a greater calm than he showed previously while dealing with the Nix case and a greater level of patience, as well as an ability to shade his words with layers of intent and meaning. He also inquired into the Teagues' investigation into the serial killer, in a manner which exceeded what should have been the scope of his knowledge. Although the Teagues have a history of inserting themselves into police investigations, it is highly unlikely that Wuornos would have indicated that 'Detective Bowen' should refrain from sharing information with the Teagues beyond the degree to which the police maintain a policy of not sharing information with the press. The question, as well as the phrasing, therefore indicates that the unsub was aware of the Teagues' investigation into the Bolt Gun murders.

The increased degree of patience and subtle aggression came into play later, as well, when the brothers Teagues attempted to blackmail or otherwise coerce Bowen into doing their bidding at that time and in the future. Although he displayed no indication of intent to use the information he has, he did describe a complicated set of financial and legal arrangements which should have taken more than 24-48 hours to verify, working around his current caseload. The summation of these arrangements being that the Teagues own half of the commercial real estate in Haven as well as a significant amount of liquid assets; all of this should have taken a considerable amount of time and work from a forensic accountant to establish and verify, time which if it had been the real Thomas Bowen he would not have had between the initial confrontation and the second meeting. Since we know the skinwalker to be a Haven resident, and we know the Bolt Gun unsub has searched the Teagues' private records, we can guess that he used the information acquired during the break-in to further that search and verification. It is likely that he has also spent some considerable time digging into the Teagues' background; the initial round of information-gathering may in fact predate all other data we have on the subject. Further information is required.

This suspicious behavior continued in a pattern of reflexes that were not indicative of good police detective skills (leaving his gun unattended on a surface in a location known to be malevolent) and inquiries that showed an attentiveness outside his initial interest (continually asking about Audrey Parker despite not having a reason to expect a close relationship between her and Chief Wuornos, although admittedly they are partnered at the police station; asking questions regarding her trip to Colorado despite having no plausible reason to want to know about a 27-year old cold case). During an investigation into a series of suspicious deaths and murders as well as resurrections, 'Bowen' was discovered to have traveled to several locations connected to the Bolt Gun unsub, and upon this and the discovery of a captive bolt pistol concealed in his trunk, the unsub shot Chief Wuornos twice in the chest at close range with no hesitation. His body language during this time was notably not that of a police officer; instead he appeared almost mercenary in his decision-making process, more calculating than acting on either cop or fixation-based instinct. He did not fire the first shot from a raised arm position as police officers are trained to do, firing from the hip instead on the first shot and then only slightly forward on the second, most likely due to Wuornos's closer proximity. He then proceeded to deceive, badly, Officer Audrey Parker and Duke Crocker with the intent of blaming the current suspect in the murder-and-resurrection blackmail scheme. This indicates that though the subject is capable of both long term planning and seizing new opportunities as they are presented to him, the events surrounding Chief Wuornos' death were further down his list of contingency plans than he might have preferred.

We have observations to indicate a suspect as to the identity of the Bolt Gun Killer, but until further proof is gathered we are not committing to this suspect at this time. One final note: we must assume that the unsub knows almost everything about Haven's residents, though his information is apparently lacking as regards subjects IN-#### and XX-####.

History (Clinical): As this is a profile of an UNSUB, the subject has obviously not been brought in for questioning. The available data suggests an organized sociopath whose goals, while requiring murder by his Trouble, are not circumscribed by a need to kill. It is, however, possible that to some extent his Trouble drives him to kill, it being the fastest way to acquire new skins for shapeshifting purposes. We are aware of and familiar with Troubles which induce mental instability in their holders, and though it seems highly likely that the unsub was unstable prior to his Trouble triggering, it is also likely that this drove the unsub to action. The taking of body parts indicates a need to kill and a belief that the unsub's Trouble may allow him to take on the form of subject IN-####, who is immune to his Trouble. Why he might want to appear as Audrey Parker is a matter for speculation and beyond the bounds of this profile.
History (Family): May have been related to, or had a relative close to, the Colorado Kid. Current family unknown; though subject's activities mark him as a loner subject may well have a family life separate from his activities surrounding subject IN-####'s abduction and the murder of Roslyn Toomey. If this is the case, subject's behavior will have grown steadily more erratic and probably abusive (physically, emotionally, or both) since the return of the Troubles several months ago, with accelerated deterioration over the last several weeks. Given new information regarding one James Cogan, alias The Colorado Kid, the unsub's reference to Audrey as "you two" rather than "you" in the more generalized plural is indicative that the unsub is no older than two incarnations of subject IN-####. Unsub may or may not be aware of subject IN-####'s specific relationship to Cogan; if the unsub is aware, the jealousy of a maternal relationship indicates a more fragmentary and disordered pathology than previously shown.
History (Medical): All medical history for this unsub should be considered unreliable and inconclusive. We have seen him falsify his death, or perhaps more accurately the death of subject NA-####. Given the presumed proximity to the explosion, we may assume some injuries were suffered during this event; however, we have no way of knowing whether or not subject's Trouble allows him to heal after changing skins. Despite this, he appears to have kept the skin, indicating a near-pathological need to leave contingencies open regardless of their use within Haven proper. (An agent has been dispatched to the Colorado area, in the event subject appears in Nederland or environs.) The two primary skins the subject has used are roughly commensurate in size and age, though subject broke with this pattern in order to better interrogate subject IN-#### designation Audrey Parker.
Recommended Action: Continue as noted in 11/3 update, taking into account that any deceased individual may be the unsub. Teagues remain uncooperative regarding any items missing from their fishing shack. Do not make any part of this profile public; a skinwalker known to be in Haven would incite mass panic.

Previous profiles follow:


Date: 10/07/2012 (updated 11/3/2012)
Subject Name: Unknown
DOB: Unknown
Gender: Male
Age: Mid 30s to late 50s
Place of Examination: Data compiled at Chandler/Hammett Investigations offices
Occupation: Unknown
Marital Status:.Unknown, though likely single
Race: Unknown, presumed Troubled
Classification: SR-BD-####

Presents with: Strong likelihood of sociopathy. Believes his feelings are applicable or comparable to others in the face of no data to support said theory and, in fact, contradictory data. Knew prior incarnation(s) of subject IN-#### and appears to have disliked the one taking the name Lucy Ripley. Has at this time committed two known murders, both of them premeditated, as well as one burglary, also premeditated. Subject is capable of blending in with the populace at large, but is probably known as something of a loner even if he has family. May be known as a family man in that case. Unlikely to have many friends; may be a leader within a larger group but if so prefers sycophantic relationships to a relationship of trust and mutual understanding and sharing. Subject was alive at the time of the last resurgence of the Troubles in 1983, though judging by fitness and what little is visible of his physical appearance, most likely was relatively young at the time. He remembers the death of the Colorado Kid and details surrounding the events that others do not, potentially having been present for events that subjects TD-BD-#### and TL-BD-#### were not. These memories also indicate a resistance to the amnesia, which (presuming the amnesia is due to the same cause as the Troubles) may indicate as well a resistance to the Troubles, not unlike subject IN-####. Alternately, subject may not have been present for the event which triggered the amnesia; insufficient data to rule one way or the other.
Updated 11/3/2012: Subject appears to be devolving at least partially, in that the unsub's methods and tactics are becoming more brazen as well as less pre-planned. The current apparent goal, while not proven, is not consistent with the goal presented under initial observation. Although it is possible that the escape of his intended victim acted as a destabilizing stressor, no behavior has been observed to support that theory. In addition, the unsub has not attempted to contact or interrogate Audrey Parker, nor has indicated any further intent to continue his initial line of questioning.

Observations: This profile is highly preliminary due to the lack of verifiable data on the UNSUB, but we consider it mandatory to put together the data currently available in order to document the likely devolvement and hopefully provide a warning to others about the dangerous nature of this unsub. The two murders so far indicate a highly organized mind, capable of long term strategy and adaptable to changing circumstances. It is safe to say that the subject has contingency plans for his contingency plans, though probably none so complicated as to require extensive note-taking to follow. If subject feels the need to keep information in external form at all, he probably has a secret place to do so and/or a form of personalized shorthand. It is an interesting exercise in speculation to consider where, then, the subject may be keeping the items stolen from the offices of the Herald last week, and what form those items might take.

Subject has demonstrated familiarity with Haven and its surroundings, indicating that the unsub has not only lived in the area for some time but has moved around it as well, and possibly the surrounding lands. A strong likelihood exists, therefore, that the unsub is also familiar with the nearby islands and waterways, and is able to pilot some form of individual/small watercraft. For unknown reasons, he has not yet used a conventional firearm in his attacks, confining himself to a penetrating or free-bolt captive bolt gun and a taser. This may indicate that he is unable to use a firearm or it may simply indicate that he has a knowledge of law enforcement techniques, including ballistic databases, and prefers to use more esoteric weapons in order to obfuscate his trail. Although a bolt gun is not a conventional weapon as such, it is common in rural areas where cattle are raised for slaughter and a taser is, of course, untraceable by the injuries. Subject has displayed resourcefulness in choosing time and location for attacking his victims, as well as adaptability when events did not go precisely as planned. It is reasonable to say that he is capable of assigning broad goals with flexibility in how he accomplishes them, and that he's highly intelligent. For all that, the unsub is prone to target fixation and transference, and is inclined to a superiority complex as a result of his high intelligence. He is, in short, accustomed to being the smartest person in the room and potentially incapable of acknowledging otherwise. Though dangerous, this is a weakness that can be exploited. If he follows similar patterns to those we are familiar with at C&H, the unsub may well be aware of his lack of personal connections and may be susceptible to our usual strategy in such cases; however, this is purest speculation and there is no data to support that theory.

Updated 11/3/12: Subject has continued to demonstrate target fixation and transference, although the unsub's choice for time and location of his victims now varies widely between open and public to concealed within a number of other, similarly mutilated victims, although the manner of death has never again been disguised as with Roslyn Toomey. One of the victims was murdered in the middle of a spree killing involving similar body part removal, albeit for different purpose and in different manner. Four homicide victims have now been murdered with a captive bolt pistol, and one robbery as well as a kidnapping can be tied to the unsub or unsubs.  Despite the initial murder and kidnapping presenting an organized mind and a patient demeanor the subsequent murders indicate an accelerated deterioration, as predicted.

It is possible that Audrey Parker's escape and inability to answer the unsub's questions caused the deterioration, however, the timeline of the crimes attributed to the unsub may not allow for that. It is also possible that the kidnapping of Audrey Parker took place at the beginning of this pattern of deterioration, beginning with a concealed and burnt body and culminating, thus far, in two brazen plain-sight murders. Further examination of the timeline will need to be performed.

A brief, more contextual description of the three murders follow: The initial murder which took place approximately six weeks prior to the events surrounding the courthouse, was conducted outside of the presence of witnesses and concealed by burial in a shallow grave in a field outside of the county in which the other two murders took place. It is at this point worth noting that the body observed by [redacted] as buried by Tommy Bowen was also buried in a shallow grave in a similar manner and at a similar point in the timeline. The second murder was committed during the series of murders and attempted murders committed by Harry Nix, and though the surgical removal of the nose in no way resembles the more organic removal of the internal organs performed by Harry Nix, it should not and did not remain concealed from the police in this fashion. The third murder was committed in broad daylight, in front of an ATM camera which the unsub by all previous indications would have known was recording, and the body was left at the scene. Lack of removal of the body may indicate that the unsub was interrupted post-removal of the hair and scalp, but there is no evidence to this effect at this time.

We have observations to indicate a suspect in one or more of the Bolt Gun killings, but until further proof is gathered we are not committing to this suspect at this time. Thomas Bowen has now been observed in possession of a captive bolt pistol, as well as witnessed in the act of shooting and potentially murdering Chief Wuornos (intervention may yet be possible). Further details and updates on Thomas Bowen's activities and psychology will be in his profile.

History (Clinical): As this is a profile of an UNSUB, the subject has obviously not been brought in for questioning. The available data suggests an organized sociopath whose goals, while requiring murder by his personal mythology, are not circumscribed by a need to kill. 11/3/12: The unsub's pattern of escalation of violence/deterioration of planning may indicate that a compulsion to kill is growing or has been triggered. However, while the taking of body parts from the victims indicates a fixation and a pathological need for a companion tailored to his own specifications, given the nature of Haven and the Troubles it is possible the unsub knows of other, more practical uses for the items he has been collecting. As yet, no such Trouble has been recorded as known but unaccounted for.

History (Family): May have been related to, or had a relative close to, the Colorado Kid. Current family unknown; though subject's activities mark him as a loner subject may well have a family life separate from his activities surrounding subject IN-####'s abduction and the murder of Roslyn Toomey. If this is the case, subject's behavior will have grown steadily more erratic and probably abusive (physically, emotionally, or both) since the return of the Troubles several months ago, with accelerated deterioration over the last several weeks. 11/3/12: Given new information regarding one James Cogan, alias The Colorado Kid, the unsub's reference to Audrey as "you two" rather than "you" in the more generalized plural is indicative that the unsub is no older than two incarnations of subject IN-####. Unsub may or may not be aware of subject IN-####'s specific relationship to Cogan; if the unsub is aware, the jealousy of a maternal relationship indicates a more fragmentary and disordered pathology than previously shown.

History (Medical): Subject is a larger than average white male, capable of carrying an average adult female while his victims are unconscious or dead without causing additional physical damage by dragging a body down stairs. Therefore, it seems likely that the subject is in good physical condition, though it is also possible subject is used to compensating for any physical weakness present. 11/3/12: Although the unsub has been described and recorded as being a white male with tattoo on forearm, the current and only suspect is a black male with no tattoos on his forearms. There is, however, at least one Trouble capable of accounting for the difference.

Recommended Action: Shift to Sam for follow-up and surveillance. Not to be trusted. Recommend a version of this profile be made available to the public at large for tip-lines and other civilian assistance, with the caution that subject is armed and extremely dangerous.

Recommended Action 11/3/12: Continue surveillance, coordinate Eve and Sam and file twice-daily updates. Do not recommend that this updated profile be made available for civilian assistance. Suggest sending an experienced agent to contact the Teagues for their report on what was stolen or disturbed in the break-in; their answers coordinated with the list of documents may indicate further avenues of investigation.
