Cold Comfort

Synopsis:

Olympia, WA
Best Moments Between Characters:
When Garcia and Kevin were trying to convince Prentiss on the accuracy of horoscopes, Prentiss ended up flipping them off. Reid, Prentiss and Hotch's facial reactions when a possible suspect refers to necrophilia as 'cracking open a cold one'.

Best Lines:
Reid (about Prentiss' birthday) 7:12 AM, October 12th, 19... Prentiss: Hey! Morgan: " Were they sexually assaulted?" Coroner: " Not exactly....there was no tearing or bruising that would normally suggest it, but I did find trace amounts of semen." Reid: "You're saying it may have been consentual?" Coroner: "No.." Morgan: " She's saying they were dead." Reid: (he freezes while his face contorts in disgust and horror)

The turning point in the investigation:
When the team realized that the grave that had been robbed of it's possessions belonged to Abby, and that the items taken fit perfectly with what they had found out by observing marks on the bodies.

Whodunit?
Robert Gless. He was basically raised by his nanny Abby until he was 9 years old. His parents were away on a cruise when Abby died while caring for Robert. He remained lying alongside Abby for 2-3 days until his parents returned. When he turned 21, he quit medical school, cashed in his trust fund ($500,000 approximately) and disappeared. His mother claimed to have not had much contact with him other than a letter addressed to her the year prior. However, his father had been sending him money every 6 months. Robert was trying to bring Abby back by dressing blonde women up in Abby's clothes, piercing their ears and cutting their hair. Once his victims assumed the role, he killed them by draining their blood and replacing it with embalming fluid.
