Bill Waverly

"If you weren't so impatient, you could've died with the rest of us. You always were stubborn."

Bill Waverly, a.k.a. The Jaguar, is a serial kidnapper, serial killer, and an attempted mass murderer, amongst other felonies, who appeared in Night Dreams in Profiler.

Background
Although barely specified, Bill Waverly's childhood after his mother died was unspeakable as he was traded between foster homes. His file says in short he was severely tortured and beaten at the hands of his households, leading him to a serious criminal record as he grew older, even as a kid, he had charges of robbery, assault on children, and arson. At age 14, his crimes reach their worse point for the time being when he was committed in Silver Spring for his grandmother's murder. He was released once his sentence once serve and he was "rehabilitated finding religion", even getting a job as an ice cream man, but that was only a delay in his next criminal move. He became obsessed with a dead (fictional) Caribbean religion, Tooahmah, obsessed with a particular ritual that could channel the spirit of a jaguar deity "to achieve divinity", as well as sacrifice a woman "to be his eternal bride", using candles, goat's blood, a graffiti jaguar image, and notes with ritualistic couplet poems tied with knots that from the figure of a woman silhouette illustration. He paired this in his insanity with a poem on the phases of a woman, and with this as his obsession, he set out to kidnap women to kill them all with himself when they were although for the very purpose of the ritual. One of his foster mothers was meant to symbolize the oldest of the phases, so he held her hostage and kept her sedated until four other women were also in his captivity. Unfortunately for him, she died as a result of the drugs he used, cause a major stressor and seriously setting him further on the course of his intended endgame despite the ritual obviously destined to end in failure. He first kidnaps Candy Brucker, a college sorority student, to represent the young woman, staging the scene based off the ritual. He then lured and abducted Julie Rayfer, an elderly Alzheimer's patient, from his ice cream truck out of a park in Baltimore. Each time he left a straw knot and a couplet poem in rolled-up paper at the scene.

Night Dreams
"It's not fair! It's not fair! I had it all planned out!"

The VCTF was finally called in after the abduction of Rose Everett, a wife and mother of a girl, from her bedroom at night, representing the mother. After further investigation, the team soon found the couplets and straw strands, but they were outright lost on motive. But reading the couplets, they realized all the missing women were still alive, and after hearing about Waverly's ice cream truck, they traced it back to him, but they ambush him at the junkyard they find the truck at and he fires a shot into John Grant's shoulder, though it doesn't critically injure him. He escapes even after Bailey Malone fires back at him and his car. The reason for the ambush is they find another victim, but dead, a pimp named Joey Hernandez, whom they later realize Waverly killed when he was abducting a prostitute, Terry Sample, to represent the sexual woman. They soon after find an exotic dancer named Jennifer, who was drugged and nearly taken by Waverly before her boyfriend Eddie came and saved her, positively picking Waverly out from a photo. They find Terry's place staged like the other in-home scenes, as well as the fourth couplet, and the rest of the poem in a longer stanza in the ice cream truck, elaborating Waverly's motive. When they find his foster mother's address, they find him ready to kill himself and the four living women he's holding hostage with a collective overdose they're all rigged to. Samantha Waters, with the rest of the responding team and forces in position, tries to talk Waverly down saying Rose's daughter is adopted. He refuses to believe it and continues to try and start the IV drip, but after a long suspense, Nathan Brubaker gets the go ahead to shoot the drug's canister, leading to Waverly being arrested and the four captive women being saved and returned home. He is then incarcerated or institutionalized afterward.

Modus Operandi
Waverly, motivated by getting back at his stepmother, target Caucasian women of various ages and backgrounds to represent the phases of a woman and the ascendance to godlike status based off Tooahmah. He would either lure them with a ruse, like his ice cream truck, before dosing them with flunitrazepam to sedate and abduct them or outright drug them to not waste time. He would keep them hostage and sedated with the drug until he was ready to kill them all. He decorated the scenes with adornments related to the Tooahmah rituals, including an ornate jaguar graffiti on a wall facing south, burnt candles to the point they'd melt wax onto the floor, goat's blood spilled at the scene, original couplets to relay his motives, and knots the poems are found in at the scene that make a woman's figure when aligned properly. In his ice cream truck was the rest of the poem which he would eventually ditch. He would often pray kneeling at their bedsides before abducting them as part of his ritual. He failed to do this with Jennifer, an exotic dancer, because her boyfriend Eddie fought Waverly off, but he succeeded Terry Sample, a prostitute, after overdosing Joey Hernandez, her pimp, on flunitrazepam he had on hand, leaving Hernandez dead in his ditched truck. He intended to kill all the women held hostage and himself with a mass sodium pentobarbital poisoning from a suspended canister and several catheters and needles, but this was an ultimate failure when the canister was shot and shattered. His foster mother couldn't withstand the drugs and died from an overdoes unintentionally, even though it didn't stop the ritual. When he tried to kill the FBI, he shot at them, only getting John Grant in his shoulder before getting away. Waverly also had a history of other offenses from robbery to arson to assault, with the murder of his grandmother by unmentioned means being the worst of his youth's crimes.
