GIDEON AND HIS TEAM MUST PROFILE A SERIAL RAPIST AND MURDERER WHO PREYS ON WOMEN IN AFFLUENT NEIGHBORHOODS, ON "CRIMINAL MINDS," WEDNESDAY, OCT. 12

"Plain Sight" -- The Behavioral Analysis Unit travels to San Diego to profile a rapist and murderer who commits his crimes in the middle of the day, on CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Oct. 12 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Matt Earl Beesley directed the episode written Edward Allen Bernero, on of the series' executive producers.

The suspect attacks in the light of day, yet blends so seamlessly into the neighborhoods he targets that local authorities have been unable to catch him. The BAU team creates a profile to aid in the investigation, than heads out into the field to catch the killer before he strikes again.
