JD Tollman

Sheriff JD Tollman is a serial killer appearing in Las Brisas in Profiler.

Background
"It wasn't true. What she said, it wasn't true."

Little is revealed about Tollman's background, other than rising t the rank of sheriff in Ferguson, Texas and being divorced from an ex-wife who filed unspecified charges on him, which he never talks about. He was in the pocket of James Lofton, a well-off maquilladoras CEO secretly sex trafficking various women from the outsourced labor factories in Las Brisas, Mexico, likely to the extent of raping them. Tollman grew envious and selfishly greedy, wanting in on going after women he assumed "were easy", but as he struggled with both advances and making women "want" him, he ended up turning his erotic pursuits into serial murder, as he would kill each woman who rejected him and/or he failed in harassing or throwing himself at.

Las Brisas
He's first seen consulting with the team when they try to get rite of passage into Las Brisas from Ferguson. When the team mentions they found the records on his wife, he denies it in mumbles before he's walked off in cuffs.

Modus Operandi
Tollman targeting native women in the maquilladoras factories of Las Brisas, specifically who had affairs with or were raped by Lofton and/or bought jewelry from a stand downtown. He prowled around looking for them to offer them a ride or had Villalobos hook him up with them so he could meet them later. He would try to make a pass at them or throw himself at them, but once they rejected him and/or he started to fumble, he killed them by strangling them with his bare hands. He then left them at the site they were killed at or off isolated desert roads once they were dead, the jewelry they were gifted or bought still on their persons. They would decompose fast being exposed to the elements, often not being found for weeks or months until they were reduced to skeletons.

Known Victims

 * Nina Ortiz (found a couple years later)


 * Eduardo Markos (kidnapped, then shot once in his back)
 * Unidentified woman (attempted; was saved by Marta Fernandez and escaped)
 * Marta Fernandez (attempted, but barely survived; got into a struggle, shooting once)
 * Luiz Ortiz (attempted: shot once, but was protected by a bulletproof vest)

Trivia

 * The murders central to the episode are obviously evocative of the dreaded "feminicides" in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, sharing transnational police communications, police corruption, false suspects tortured to confess, and women going missing only to be found dead in the desert, with a variety of theories, from biased to hysterical, including serial killers, cartels and rape trafficking, sacrificial cults, desert bogeymen, and the police's favorite of immediate nearby suspects or of the women "getting into their own trouble". But unlike the episode, even worse, the murders were far more brutal and perversely sadistic, including rapes, tortures, mutilations, and even mass graves, even reducing them to bones by the time they're found. Also unlike the episode, the people of Juarez, especially the women and grieving relatives and friends, would protest in the streets to honor the missing and dead women, painting black crosses with pink backgrounds, marching the streets with their pictures, and chanting "Ni Una Mas", meaning "Not One More".
