Warning: Spoilers
This is one of my favorite episode of criminal minds, the other being episode 12 of season 2 "Profiler, Profiled". This episode is about a child abductor and killer on the Appalachian trails. When a body is found, a brother and sister, Robert and Ana Brooks, go missing from a camping trip. Shane, the one who abducted them and the killer of the boys bodys on the trial gets Robert away from his sister and he ends up molesting him. When the boy returns to his sister, he makes her promise that she will run the next time he comes to get him. Ana ends up running away which results in Robert being taken to another child molesters house and in a deal with him, Shane gives him an hour alone with Robert. Robert being a strong boy fights back resulting him him getting knocked out. The FBI team ends up showing up and Robert is found safe. However, Shane notices police cars and runs the other direction. He is one in a few that the FBI never caught. Thee acting of the children in this episode is amazing beyond belief. The main child Robert, played by Gattlin Griffith, is one of the few child actors on the show that really played his part. Normally when this show has children on it, of course my heart melts for their character but this episode brought chills down my whole body because of the way this 11 year old boy is playing this 10 year old and how he acts out everything that is happening. Just his facial expressions alone when he comes back to return to his sister in the cage where they are held captive brought me to tears. This episode is one of the more creepy ones but it is one of my favorite episodes of all time. I think they should bring back Shane and actually catch him this time. Maybe even bring back Gattlin now that he is older to help the FBI catch this horrible person.
