Everyone heads back to the conference room to talk about the new evidence while Will stays in the interrogation room. You play the voicemail for everyone to hear.
"William, are you there? Something bad is happening. It's dark. I don't know where he's taking me--"
"After that, the signal cuts out."
"Is this the same night she left her mom's house?" Spencer asks.
"Yeah. Will called in an army favor. They triangulated the call to a cell tower in Canada just over the border in Port Huron. It explains why he crossed into your jurisdiction."
"It's also a surefire way to get the FBI involved. He knew we'd investigate an American citizen being held on multiple murder charges."
"You believe him?" Jeff asks you.
"I do." Penelope calls and you place her on speakerphone. "Go ahead, Penelope."
"I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I've got IDs on multiple border crosses for the dates in question. The trouble is, I've got hundreds, and as far as I can tell if your license doesn't ping for any prior felonies, you're pretty much gonna pass go and collect two hundred Canadian dollars."
"She's right. That's the busiest cross in North America. There's a lot of commercial traffic, trucks mostly. Stop and searches would cause too many delays."
"He's got a virtually free pass, and once he crosses, there's nothing but woods to hide whatever he's doing."
Rossi and Hotch managed to get Jeff to release William so that he's under the FBI's jurisdiction. Hotch wants him patrolling the streets like he's been doing. He has a rapport with those people, so he's the best bet in noticing if someone is missing. If something comes up, then there is a lot more manpower to deal with it than what Will's been given.
You and Spencer walk into the conference room where JJ is on the phone.
"Yes, ma'am, right now we just consider them missing. The second I get more information, I'll be in contact with you."
"How's it going?"
"The majority of the people on the street aren't even from Detroit. We don't have last names or hometowns on most of them. Unless there's a missing persons report on file somewhere, it's almost impossible."
"Most of these people's families probably gave up on seeing them long ago," Spencer sighs.
"A mother would never give up." You have to agree with JJ here. If your child went missing, you'd do anything to find them. "Can you hand me William's arrest report?"
Spencer does, and she leaves the room just in time for Penelope to call.
"Yeah, Garcia?"
"Sherlock, it's Watson. I think I've got something."
"What do you have?"
Rossi enters the room to hear what Penelope has to say.
"I checked Detroit crime reports over the last month because Derek and Emily astutely thought there might be some sort of assaults or disturbances having to do with our unsub. Well, it's tres weird but on five of the abduction nights, Detroit PD reports a break-in or a robbery at some type of medical facility."
"What type of medical facility?"
"We got a hospital, blood bank, medical supply company, and the Red Cross. He's not even stealing narcotics. The stuff he took is anesthesia, sterilizing equipment, and syringes."
"Where were these places located?"
"Putnam Street, St. Antoine, East Hancock, and Martin Luther King Boulevard."
