Sarah Danlin is a serial killer and rape victim who appeared in season 2, episode 18 of Criminal Minds. She copied the killing style of Jack the Ripper, a real life serial killer who was ever caught.
Early Life[]
There is not much information about the early life of Sarah Danlin, although who the BAU did believe she had a history of sexual abuse. This history likely contributed to her mental break and the associated rage she felt after her rape.
Trigger Event[]
The BAU initially believed the killer to be a man, they later came to the conclusion that the only thing that would cause a straight man to leave his friends, is a woman. Sarah was a medical student in Tulany University before dropping out after her assault.
One evening, Sarah was at a bar named Jones, with a group of her friends. She was approached by a man who asked her to come play pool with him. She went with the man, who’s friend also followed them up to the pool tables and they proceeded to rape her.
The police were called and she wanted to press charges against the man and his friend. The responding police officers, William LaMontagne and Jr Smith, had differing opinions on how to proceed. Officer LaMontagne believed what happened to the victim and wanted to arrest the assailants however Officer Smith, who was friends with one of the assailants, convinced her to drop the charges to avoid “ruining the mans life”.
She began copying Jack the Rippers style of killing and wrote letters to Officer LaMintagne as she likely believed he would understand her. She was finally stopped at the Royal Ruby Inn.
Modus Operandi[]
Sarah killed several caucasians men as a way of getting justice against her actual assailants.
She seduced men between their mid 20s to early 40s. She would lure the men away and cut their throats. Following in Jack the Rippers shoes, she would send letters to the police and killed many of the victims in the same ways he did.
