The case had gone cold before many of the profiler team even worked at the BAU. A case where children were kidnapped, held for a week, then found buried in the woods before another would be taken. But the last victim’s body (you) never turned up, and another child never got taken. All leads dried up; it was thought that the unsub skipped town and continued business elsewhere, perhaps dumped the body while on the run. That is, until a video surfaced. The unsub’s face wasn’t in frame, but the kid’s was. Over ten years older, the kid was hard to recognize. However, the unsub saying the kid’s name was all it took to shake the memory loose. Somehow, the unsub had held onto the kid all this time. And now it seemed the video was putting a time frame back on. The unsub wasn’t going to spend much more time keeping the kid alive. But even if they bring the kid home, the family died off from grief long before this: where will they even go from there?
