GIDEON AND HOTCHNER ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY A KILLER WHOSE DELUSIONAL FANTASIES LEAD HIM TO COMMIT MURDER, ON "CRIMINAL MINDS," WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14

"Blood Hungry" -- Hotchner and his team attempt to get inside the mind of a psychotic killer whose fantasies lead him to murder, on CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Dec. 14 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Charles Haid directed the episode from a script written by Ed Napier.

The murders are disorganized and erratic, making it hard for the team to put together a pattern of intent. However, when Gideon uncovers similar evidence at more than one of the crime scenes, it gives the profilers the key element they need to help them understand the psyche of the killer.
