It would appear that our Monday nights of Bones is over, at least for awhile. So I switched channels and watched the 5/20/13 sneak preview episode of "Motive" with the title 'Creeping Tom'.
There were a lot of references to psychological profiling. Detective Angie Flynn suggested that the creeping behavior (basically breaking and entering while leaving the word creepers behind) suggested someone who breaks into houses for the thrill of it because they are bored. She felt that the intruder was testing authority. On these bases she surmised that they were looking for a teenager.
It also came to light that creepers went in basically to nab a souvenir. When learning about criminal behavior analysis, there is a difference between a souvenir and a trophy. The way it was explained to me is that when you go to Disney World you buy a set of mouse ears as a souvenir. You appreciate them for awhile but right now you have no earthly idea where they are. On the other hand, if you earn a trophy, it is important to you and probably prominently displayed. You know exactly where it is. It's on the mantle or in a case. It is cared for and dusted and polished and treasured. Much more significant than a souvenir.
Anyway, back to behavior. It wasn't limited to human behavior. The calmness of the dog with the intruder was a big red flag that the dog was familiar with and even liked the perpetrator.
Leave it to man's best friend to be the deal breaker in the case. Go animals!!
