Bobby Lawrence and Kyle McCathern

Bobby Lawrence and Kyle McCathern are a duo of serial abductors and murderers appearing in Double Vision in Profiler.

Background
Bobby Lawrence was a legend in his youth, being a football star known for his winning games and notoriety from his charisma. It eventually chased and burned for him when another student accused him of sexual assault. Its validity or not never clarified in the episode, Lawrence lost his credibility and reverence, his entire future in shambles. Back then, he knew Kyle McCathern, a student who lauded him, which satisfied Lawrence since he wanted someone to dominate. After his loss of fame and glory, McCathern still stuck by him, though the disgruntled, grating Lawrence would constantly degrade him and insult him, even batter him by making him clasp his hands so Lawrence could strike them repeatedly, one with his fingers contorted in on themselves, which was implied to have been caused by Lawrence. They also had a habit of spontaneously quizzing each other with trivia topics to see if each of them would come up with something in said topic. Lawrence stay in his hometown and married a woman named Bernadette, who took his surname and grew more unhappy as time went on, but the two eventually were arrested and served time for armed robbery, bungling a stick-up of a pastry stand just across a police station, which led to heir imprisonment and sharing a cell. When they got out, they continued their quasi-relationship, but Lawrence decided to find McCathern a woman or girl to pick up so McCathern could be esteemed in his virility by losing his virginity. Once the local strip clubs Lawrence frequented failed to inspire McCathern, they found Jeannie Carter, a con artist visiting the county, who was blindfolded so McCathern could be aroused enough to perform and enjoy it. When that failed, by means unknown, the situation took a turn south when Lawrence strangled Carter to death with his two fingers, leading them to bury her body deep in a nearby cave in the city. They soon vied for murder as a new vocation to embolden themselves and strengthen their partnership, thus McCathern would pick women for Lawrence to seduce allegedly for McCathern's sake, only for Lawrence to kill them the same way while McCathern marveled at his brutality. They repeated the ritual with eleven more women and girls in and out of town by the start of the episode. When McCathern went back alone to see the remains of the last woman they murdered to gawk at her body and relive the murder, their situation was in danger of getting more intense and chaotic.

Modus Operandi
Lawrence and McCathern targeted women McCathern chose to see if he could woo. When he failed, the two would hold them captive for as long as they wanted, mostly keeping them in the trunk of Lawrence's car, bound and gagged until they were ready to kill them. Lawrence, with McCathern watching, would strangle the women to death, crushing their fore-throats with a tight pinching grip from his thumb and another finger on the same hand. McCathern would then fondle their bodies and tidying and sprucing their looks, just before the two would go to their secret cave in the woods of their city, burying the women's remains deep in the cave to never be found. McCathern went off script and unearthed the twelfth woman they killed to see and feel her again, leaving her exposed enough to be found.
