Season 1, Episode 11

The Behavioral Analysis Unit, BAU tracks a paranoid schizophrenic in this episode. After violently murdering his victims, the unsub performs cannibalism and even drinks their blood.

In real life, the unsub is Richard Trenton Chase, ‘The Vampire of Sacramento’. His crimes were necrophilia, cannibalism, and vampirism.

Season 4, Episode 22

In this chilling episode, the BAU took on the case of an unsub suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder who targets blonde women. The unsub sends the police a video of him murdering a victim and leaves a “Help me message” in red ink; a plea for them to stop him before he murders another victim.

This episode is based on the real-life story of William Heirens ‘The Lipstick Killer’ after he left this message in red lipstick for the police on the wall of a victim’s apartment “For Heaven’s sake catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself”

In this episode of Criminal Minds, the BAU is called to track an unsub after multiple transients go missing in Detroit. The team BAU eventually finds themselves on a pig farm where they discover that a disabled man has been instructing his mentally unstable brother to kidnap people, experiment on them, kill them, and then feed their bodies to pigs.

This chilling case is based on Robert Pickton, ‘The Pig Farmer Killer’. His victims are believed to be all women, and he fed most of them to his pigs. It is also thought that he mixed ground human flesh with the pig meat he sold at the local markets.

Starkweather was executed via the electric chair and Fugate got a life sentence in prison.
