Rachel had been a special agent for three years when she’d been tasked with bringing in a man that had killed seven people between New Jersey and Virginia. All seven had been killed over a short period of just two weeks and there had been no apparent links to the victims. They knew the murderer’s name after the fifth victim due to three fingerprints left behind on the scene; the prints had been etched out in the victim’s blood: one on the bedroom door, another on the edge of a kitchen counter, and another on the front doorknob.

He was Alex Lynch, a fifty-three year-old welder with a small trucking company outside of Williamsburg, Virginia. Before he went on his killing spree, he’d never committed a single crime. He was a law-abiding, tax-paying, model American citizen. When Rachel and her partner at the time (and older gentleman that had since been given desk jobs after blowing out a knee on another case) finally caught up to him, he had just taken his seventh victim. The maniac had even applauded Rachel when she found him in the victim’s bedroom. Rachel often looked back to that moment, Alex Lynch clapping for her with the victim’s blood all over his hands.

Those two weeks of Alex Lynch’s life had been studied and documented closely by criminal profilers and ravenous media outlets over the years that followed. According to the official story, Alex Lynch returned a weed eater he had borrowed from a neighbor in his neighborhood along the outskirts of Williamsburg. The men had words over a ding in the weed-eater’s cover and in what Lynch later described a “blinding sort of rage where I left my body,” he struck his neighbor in the face with the weed eater. He then turned the body of the weed eater around and continued to strike his neighbor’s face while he was on the floor. Lynch could not recall when the man died but he kept striking and striking until the entire back end of the weed eater was destroyed, and the lower half of his neighbor’s face had been “like jelly.”

Lynch later told Rachel and other FBI agents that he’d nearly called the police to report what he’d done, but he’d been too amped up on adrenaline to make any sense of what he’d done. He claimed to have enjoyed what he’d done and within two or three hours had started to figure out how he might be able to do it again without being caught.

His next victim came just fourteen hours later in the small town of Poquoson, in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. He killed an ex-girlfriend and her husband in their home. The husband was killed with a knife directly through the throat. The ex-girlfriend’s fate was considerably worse. When her body was found the following day, she was missing two fingers, most of the skin from her face, and had been stabbed seventeen times. Some of the stab wounds had been done with a knife, but some had been done with a screwdriver.
