there's a baby at the crime scene. An [=UnSub=] in Las Vegas kidnaps young boys, one of whom turns up dead with an empty stomach, but not malnourished, apparently smothered with a pillow. The team profiles her as a psychotic woman who lost her baby. When they find her, she is babbling that her baby is dead and throwing baby things into a fire.
