![]() ![]() ![]() Matloff targeted young, brunette, female joggers, presumably as surrogates for his biological mother. It was also mentioned Matloff was a textbook loner, someone with no meaningful relationships. Matloff being rejected by his biological mother was his stressor, and he took out the rage he felt over being forsaken by her out on random women he encountered. ![]() By burying his victims in shallow graves at his workplace, the unsub was able to return to them to relive the murders and, as the kills were all consistent and showed no signs of a learning curve, it was believed the unsub may have had more victims than the ones who were accounted for. The victims being buried face-down was originally believed to be a sign of remorse, though it was later discovered Matloff actually did it because it was a Native American tradition, one that was believed to stop the spirits of the dead from returning to haunt their killer. The unsub was also meticulous to the point of paranoia and, as such, would probably insert himself into the investigation. The unsub's murders were all opportunistic his apparent familiarity with the area and ability to kill victims with no signs of blitzing them implicated he was a figure of authority, such as a park ranger. Matloff then pleaded guilty and is sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. If you believe you're a different person, then prove it and do the right thing". Overcome with remorse, he then contemplates suicide but is talked down by Hotch, who said, "Brian, the court may show you mercy, but you have to earn it. Held at gunpoint by Hotch, Reid, and local police, he confesses to the murders and to remembering everything. After Nina Moore comes forward during his trial, Matloff escapes from captivity and goes back to Linville Falls in the Blue Ridge Parkway, where his very first victim is buried. He even draws pictures from his memory and writes notes in his cell. As the trial has progressed, Matloff has started to remember more and more about his past, including the murders. Hotch is, however, able to counter the claims that profiling was mostly, as Sterling put it, "intellectual guesswork", by accurately profiling him about his gambling habits. Matloff's lawyer, Lester Sterling, based a lot of the defense on the fact that the arrest was made mostly because of the BAU's profile, despite the fact that there was no trace evidence or any witnesses (the star witness, a heroin addict, having died from an overdose in 2006). Despite this, he is put on trial, with Hotch being the prosecution's strongest witness. In 2008, Matloff wakes up with focal retrograde amnesia, unable to remember anything about his past, not even his name. During this time, his adoptive parents disowned him. He survived the fall but slipped into a coma. Morgan jumped across in an attempt to save him, but was too late Matloff lost his grip and fell. Matloff attempted to flee by jumping from the building's roof to the adjacent building's but wasn't able to jump far enough and barely hung onto the edge. Then, a SWAT team, led by Hotch and Morgan, raided his apartment. ![]() When they did so, they discovered that Matloff, who was the type of offender who needed to insert himself into the investigation, had come forward as a witness. Being rejected by his mother caused Matloff to start studying Native American culture and mythology and also triggered his serial killing, which began in 2004.Īfter four murders, of which the authorities were aware of three, the BAU and their then-new agent, Reid, were able to track him down by narrowing down the list of Forest Service employees. He wanted to reconnect to some degree, such as calling once in a while and maybe meeting around the holidays, but she wasn't able to do so for emotional reasons. In 2003, he was somehow able to track down his birth mother (now married and named Nina Moore), presumably through a private detective. Sometime later, he was employed by the United States Forest Service in the Blue Ridge Parkway. He eventually graduated from college or a university. He was then adopted and raised Polish Catholic by his foster-turned-adoptive parents. Matloff was born in 1971 as the son of Nina Genesee, a Native American woman who put him up for adoption due to her young age. ![]()
