Matthew Gray Gubler: Dr. Spencer Reid

Quotes 

• Jason Gideon : You know what program did the most harm to this country, in terms of crimes like this? Child abduction?

  Det. Charlotte Russet : No.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Stranger danger.

  Jason Gideon : Flooded the schools with it.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I remember them coming to my classroom. It was Officer Friendly with stranger danger coloring books.

  Jason Gideon : Taught a whole generation about a scary man in a trench coat, hiding behind a tree. Then we learned that strangers are only a... fraction of the offenders out there. Most are people you see every day - your family, your neighbors, schoolteachers. You know the rest. Prepared our children for 1% of the danger, made them more vulnerable to 99%. So we've been wrong before. All we can do is learn from it, and hopefully be better next time.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Long-term stranger abductions of children Billie's age are rare. They represent only half of one percent of all missing cases per year. But they are usually more likely to be fatal. Of the children that are abducted and murdered, 44% die within the first hour. From that point forth, their odds of survival greatly decrease. 75% are gone after three hours. Virtually all of them are dead after twenty-four.

  Aaron Hotchner : Which means we have just under four hours to find her.
