Looking for ideas and help with a fic

[liliaeth]

I'm writing a story where a psychiatric patient slips out of sight of the orderlies accompanying the group during a supervised trip in the city. The patient in question is highly delusional, and though he's calm and easygoing enough when on his medication, he could become dangerous without them, especially in an unstructured environment.

The patient has been in a closed institution since he was twelve after shooting his father. Before that he was trained to shoot guns, use knives and other weapons and had some training in hand to hand due to said previously mentioned father, who was a former marine suffering from PTSD who pulled his two children on the road, forcing them in his own delusions along with heavy mental, physical and sexual abuse of his oldest, aka the patient in question.

My question then is, with this kind of patient, how long would it take before the police gets involved in the search and how big of a response would there be? And what would it take for the BAU to be called in?

And if said patient then ends up kidnapping a child, believing the boy to be his little brother, how would this affect the case. Especially if he takes the boy in question across state lines.


PS: for those actually interested *g*, this is going to be an SPN/CM au, but unlike my last one, this will be set in the CM verse, with Dean being delusional rather than the brothers actually hunting monsters.

Take this to little_details. This is exactly the kind of question they specialize in, and you can probably find a lot of information in the tags where similar questions have been answered.

Did so, just figured that people here might help me with how in specific the BAU would get involved in a case like this*g*

It depends on how big of a danger the police thinks this guy is. I would assume that the BAU gets called in as soon as the patient kills anoyone or snatches the boy.

hmm, not sure if I want Dean killing anyone, but hurting people with a knife will probably make them worried enough about him killing someone eventually if he's not stopped.

I'd say they probably would come in the instant the boy gets kidnapped, and probably after a second murder?

Alltogether: it sounds like a great idea!!! :D

[liliaeth]

Thanks, now just to actually write it*g*, also need to check up on just what kind of medication he'd get.

:D That won't be that hard, also, if you can't figure it out, ask me. :p I know a bit too much about meds...

Anyway. <3 Nice to meet you btw!! :p

FBI does serial killers, kidnappings and any crime crossing state lines. A "series" in this instance is three or more. Two killings would still be a local matter though they'd definitely allow the local authorities to use their resources to find them. The minute someone was kidnapped or a criminal committed crimes in more than one state, the FBI would be pulled in.

[liliaeth]

so the FBI would probably come in after the kidnapping, esp. with the victim being a child.

Don't really have an answer to your question, but I have to say I am SO EXCITED to read this. My two favorite fandoms!

I <3 you so much and I'm willing to beta this if needed. :)

[liliaeth]

Hope you don't mind if I hold you to that beta offer, I can always use one of those*g*

Haha, of course not! My computer's infected with the croatoan virus right now, lol, but it should be fixed soon. PM me with some more details, kk?
