PART 05
Author’s note: As before, LAPD statistics are genuine, thank Wikipedia.
The Preacher is a character borrowed from the X-Files episode “Sleepless”. He’s a recurring figure in the “Pathways” universe.
Branco Vukovic is modelled after a German actor/singer who, at one point of his career, used to be a model. And I don’t need to tell where Ethan Gold has come from, do I? *g*

“We are making some headway,” Hotch informed his team colleagues before the beginning of the next shift. Like many LA police stations, West LA Community Station had a 4 day-10 hour work week schedule, which meant that at least the uniformed cops who’d just come to work had to be debriefed again. “We – that is, Detective Murietta and Dr. Reid – have managed to identify two of the previously unknown victims. It seems that Detective Murietta’s original theory about how the unsub choses his victims has been right.”
“Were these two also talented in some ways?” Detective Barritza asked.
Hotch consulted his notes for a moment, and then pinned two photos onto the whiteboard. He pointed at the picture of a boyish-faced young man on the right; the victim wore a suit on that one and had a violin in his hand.
“This one, Ethan Gold, used to be a very promising young violin player,” he said. “He came from Pittsburgh and was considered extremely talented. Worked for a recording company for a year or so, even produced a couple of CDs of his own concerts… then got into an abusive relationship with an older man, broke his career and ended up on the streets where he used to earn some money with playing classical music on his violin.”
“How old was he?” JJ asked, staring at the photo of the very youthful-looking man in sorrow. It always saddened her when young lives got wasted like that.
“Twenty-five, apparently,” Hotch replied. JJ just shook her head in regret.
“What about the other victim?” Prentiss asked, looking at the picture of a somewhat older but still fairly young, spiky-haired man who had a flawless face and large, soulful eyes. “Was he young enough for the unsub?”
“He was just beyond thirty,’ Officer Wong piped in. “I remember him being a model for the Girard Fashion House – and a very popular one, at least for a while. He also tried to start a career as a singer, but with very little success. Then he tried to compose his own music, for which nobody showed much interest. The last report of him was that he wanted to become a dancer, but that’s all. A typical LA failure: after years on the cover of the greatest fashion magazines, he lost everything, began doing drugs… and ended on the streets.”
