Here's What Makes Criminal Minds Killer Frank Breitkopf So Twisted

Debuting in the second season episode "No Way Out," Frank is a ruthless sexual sadist who has killed over 170 victims without a flicker of remorse. The only child of a single mother, Frank watched as his mother turned to prostitution to support them, the experience turning him into a sexual sadist who fed on the fear of others. Traveling the country in a trailer, Frank would stalk and murder victims, paralyzing them with a potent drug and then placing them on a makeshift autopsy table under a mirror. This enabled the victims to watch as he slowly removed their organs while they were still alive.

Abducting a troubled woman named Jane Hanratty (Amy Madigan), Frank initially planned to make her one of his victims, but when she looked upon him calmly as she lay on the table (believing him to be an alien abductor), he released her. Later, Frank would claim he fell in love with Jane and would return to her home town of Golconda, Nevada every year to leave her wind chimes (made from the bones of his victims).
