* "[[Recap/FBIMostWantedS05E04 Hollow]]": [[ImAHumanitarian Hank Fuller]] was simply a creepy, misogynistic local fisherman at the Akwesana Reservation, until he was diagnosed with cancer. Inspired by the works of Paracelsus, Fuller became the "[[SerialKiller Hollow Man]]", a cannibalistic serial killer, convinced he could cure himself by devouring the healthy organs of others and [[ControlFreak enjoying holding absolute power over them]]. Preying upon young, petite Mohawk women no one would immediately notice were missing, Fuller used the local Rural Medical Service to find victims, then sabotaged their cars so he could [[BadSamaritan play good Samaritan to abduct them]]. Imprisoning his victims, Fuller would force-feed them laxatives and water for two days to clean out their insides, before [[SlashedThroat slitting their throats]], draining their blood and finally removing the organs, murdering at least five poor women in this manner, and potentially as many as fourteen. His condition deteriorating, Fuller kidnapped the pregnant Maya Holt, intending to make her his next victim in the belief he could cure himself by devouring her placenta.
