An [=UnSub=] evades detection for a time by copying the MOs of famous serial killers, meaning there's no single methodology for the police to catch on to. A criminology student guesses the truth and tries to alert Rossi, who tells her to convince the police to invite his team to the case. She goes to find evidence and is murdered a few hours later. When he's caught, the [=UnSub=] explains that he has no particular motivation, he just wants to kill people.
