Lucky Strikes (2017)

Christopher Chen: Dr. Warren Spitz

Quotes 

• Dr. Warren Spitz : I was deputy coroner in 2007. Didn't think I'd ever see this again. Legs and fingers removed antemortem. Inverted pentagram postmortem.

  David Rossi : Cause of death exsanguination?

  Dr. Warren Spitz : Mm-hmm. Due to bisection of the carotid when her throat was slashed. Just like before.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Looks like blunt force trauma to the head, as well.

  Dr. Warren Spitz : Again, just like the historic cases. Whoever is doing this has Ferell down to a "T".

  David Rossi : That doesn't make sense. Ferell's been locked up for years. Why would someone be copying him now?

  Dr. Warren Spitz : Can't tell you, but this copycat seems to be an exact copy.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : How so?

  Dr. Warren Spitz : I x-rayed the stomach contents before I removed them. Five fingers in the stomach, fed to the victim just prior to her death, none of them hers.

  David Rossi : Only Ferell knew that signature aspect. We never released it to the public.

• Dr. Warren Spitz : This woman has been dead over a month, but same C.O.D. Exsanguination due to a severed carotid, inverted pentagram carved postmortem, and all ten fingers removed.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Now, there are hestitation marks on that neck wound.

  David Rossi : And he didn't remove her legs.

  Dr. Warren Spitz : No. Curiously, though, there are postmortem human bite marks on the right leg.

  David Rossi : Yeah, looks like he actually took a bite out of her calf.

  Dr. Warren Spitz : I acquired Ferell's bite impressions from the old case. These bite marks don't match his.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Well, that's definitive proof there's another killer.

  David Rossi : But you can't teach someone to be turned on by cannibalism. So whoever this unsub is, he must have had that desire all along.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : What about her stomach contents?

  Dr. Warren Spitz : Nothing in her stomach at all.

  David Rossi : So she's probably his first victim.
