That woman in the one episode who just wanted people to listen to her talk about her dead son and felt that no one else cared. That really hit me.

I agree about Norman Hill. I felt worse for his family, but he still made me sad.

The ones who have serious mental conditions. Like the OCD girl in season 1 or the ones that are delusional. Those ones are different than the ones that are psychopaths or whatever and choose to do what they do. The ones who really can't choose or don't know what they are doing make me sad.

The boxer whose son was dying. I was sobbing.

The guy with PTSD who thought he was in the war, (don't remember the season), and the guy in S7 Ep3 I think who had that rare syndrome that made him think his family had been replaced and killed his parents.

From:

la-loony.livejournal.com

OMG That guy with the replacement syndrome was sooooooooooo sad, I felt horrible when they tried to calm him down with his family but then he managed to see them and started to believe they were replaced too.

From:

I felt real bad for the father in Route 66 this season I actually cried at the end.

I agree with Norman and the comic writer killer - two heart wrenching episodes. The one with the mother whose son was killed was sad too. Hard to blame her for snapping.

I'm thinking also about Self-fulfilling Prophecy from season 7. But I don't recall properly if the one they were chasing at first was the real killer. I know I enjoyed the episode and I will rematch it this weekend :)

From:

Oh, and a comment below reminded me a about the woman who had been in Srebrenica.

From:

OMG, I love your icon! Can I steal it? did you make it? Who can i credit?

Alex O'Loughlin's character in "The Big Wheel" (season 4).

I've seen that ep a few times and it always gets me. I really love his relationship with the blind son of one of his victims.

From:

mzkitteh.livejournal.com

Aw Vincent, yeah. I agree with this one. Especially at the end when they go on the ferris wheel as he's dying.

From:

blythechild.livejournal.com

Totally. It gets me every single time.

From:

Yeah. I'd forgotten Alex. It is quite sad.

From:

So I've visited CM.wikia and browsed the unsubs, and here is the list that I gathered:

Edward "Eddie" Lee Wilcox, Jr.from Route 66 (s.9)

I cried at the end. He truly loved the daughter and I felt sorry for him.

Adam Jackson (as Amanda) from Conflicted (s.4)

Kind of hard to not feel sorry for a guy abused by his father to the point he created a second personality...

Darrin Call from Haunted (s.5)

The traumatized (to kidnap other boys) snapping? Don't blame him... Very sad, tragic episode...

the mentioned above Norman Hill from Normal (s.4)

That's one of those killers that hard to forget...

Roy Woodridge from Distress (s.2)

The killer with PTSD. I feel really sad when he ends up being killed, but all he tried to do was save that little boy...

another one mentioned above Jonny "Jon" McHale from True Night (s.3)

Whenever he replays the message... it's hard not to feel sad for him...

mentioned above Shelley Chamberlain from Hanley Waters (s.6)

The Mother who never got over the death of her son.

Ellen Russell and Darlene Beckett from The Pact (s.8)

I remember feeling bad for them, for the wronging they have suffered...

Sarah Jean Mason from Riding the Lightning (s.1)

I'm not sure if I feel sorry for her or admire her to be honest. She was not a killer but accomplice and sacrificed everything for her on...

Chris Shelton (the father) and Josh Redding (the soldier) from Self-Fulfilling Prophecy (s.7)

That was a tragic episode...

Megan Kane from Pleasure is my Business (s.4)

There are probably some other but those are that jumped at me just by scrolling down the list...

From:

Yeah. This guy:

From:

I have no idea how I forgot this one (if I remember correctly she was psychologically abused by the whole family):

Audrey Henson, S03E18

Edited Date: Dec. 13th, 2013 07:49 pm (UTC)

From:

Nobody's yet mentioned Samantha, the Doll Collector?

From:

That was a very difficult episode for me, too--suffice to say that I knew someone like that UNSUB's husband.

From:

She was abused by her father, yes.

Samantha Malcolm, S05E12

From:

This one:

Jimmy Hall, S07E10

Edited Date: Dec. 13th, 2013 08:16 pm (UTC)

From:

This man too.

Ben Foster, S06E19

Edited Date: Dec. 13th, 2013 08:30 pm (UTC)

From:

I don't remember this one... :( need to re-watch it.

From:

I was thinking about her... I definitely felt sorry for her... it was a sad story...

There is another mentally-challenged killer in the series, but this one definitely does NOT make me feel sorry for him (actually it gives me the creeps... and I personally find him to be one of the scariest, evilest unsubs...):

Ben "Cy" Bradstone from The Proof (s.7)

Edited Date: Dec. 13th, 2013 09:50 pm (UTC)

From:

The credit should be on my userpic page.

From:

I believe there were two people with PTSD who thought they were still in the war. There was the man you are mentioning, and then there was the woman from Bosnia.

From:

Totally forgot about her. So sad. And the fact that her father was Riker made it worse somehow.

From:

tonjavmoore.livejournal.com

When he's laughing at his brother, he makes a face that is so evil I can barely look at it.

The other mentally challenged one I don't feel at all sorry for is Floyd Phalen from Lucky. He gave me the creeps for a long time.

I do feel sorry for the unsub in Derailed (Dr. Bryer) and the one from Blood Hungry.

From:

"Uncanny Valley" was significant as a summary of Reid's character development, since that particular case pushed just about all his Berserk Buttons: not only mistreatment of the mentally ill and bad fatherhood, but the specific horror of being immobilized and at the mercy of a disturbed person who snapped under a parent's abuse*. That's why he made sure to confront Samantha in the presence of her victims--to make sure that they, too, received an explanation for their nightmarish ordeal (and who was ultimately to blame), as well as reassurance that their tormentor would stop hurting people once she got the heartbreakingly simple thing she really wanted all along.

*Which brings us to another name I've not yet seen mentioned:

Tobias Hankel ("The Big Game". 2.14, and "Revelations", 2.15), trapped in the same skin with his tormentors.

From:

The detail about Cy that particularly unsettles me is one that may require a specific cultural background to appreciate: his speech pattern is exactly a stock sort of voice that has come to denote a simpleton in old American cartoons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EHDBJFoZL4

I'm not sure whether that's his natural mode of expression--which would of course have been blood in the water to his classmates--a deliberate ploy to fool people into underestimating his cunning, or even the latter playing upon the former.

From:

You really should. It's heart wrenching. =(

From:

http://users.livejournal.com/_tiger_saver_/

Oh man. So many feels.

From:

Although not an Unsub, he was the main suspect for 90% of the episode:

Chris Summers, S05E13

From:

That's correct:

Miranda Jakar from Outfoxed (s5)

From:

When he's laughing at his brother, he makes a face that is so evil I can barely look at it.
That's the reason he terrifies me so much. I was watching this episode late at night and could not fall asleep for a long time. That look... it still creeps me out just thinking about it...

From:

Two more:

Caleb Dale Sheppard, a.k.a. "The Stripping Bandit" from Psychodrama (s2)

The fact that he needs the psychodrama to help him makes me feel bad for him... even though he shoots a teenage boy without any thought...

William "Bill" Hodges from Parasite (s5)

I've been wondering about this one, but in the end, while a crook and a spree killer, he did care much for his family, especially his son.

From:

Thanks! I loved your HP userpics too (and hugs from fellow HHr shipper!), the Eowyn one killed me XD as well the cartooned SW ones :) and Poirot! I'll steal those too ;)

I'm a serious icon addict. That's the only reason why I keep my paid account.

From:

That is a good reason to do so :D
