Anita Roycewood is a major antagonist of the crime-drama tv series Criminal Minds. She and her husband, Roger, are a husband-and-wife kidnapping team and the main antagonists of the season five episode Mosley Lane.

She is portrayed by Beth Grant.

History

Little is known of Anita's past other than that she owned a funeral home and married Roger, an electrician. In 1999, Anita and Roger abducted a girl named Karla Hartaway and kept her as if she was their own child. They repeated the process every year, and whenever their captives grew too old or uncontrollable, Anita would knock them unconscious and kill them by burning them alive. On March 3, 2002, the Roycewoods abducted Charlie Hillridge, who they used as an accomplice to their crimes.

Mosley Lane

In the present day, Anita distracts a mother at a theme park by calling for her son, allowing Roger to abduct a little girl named Aimee Lynch. The BAU are called in to investigate the abduction, and with the help of Sarah Hillridge, a mother whose child was abducted years ago, they are able to tie Aimee's abduction with a string of past abductions. Meanwhile Anita beats and kills Stephen Sheperd after she catches him talking to Aimee. However, the BAU track her down, and on realizing that they are onto her, she attempts to murder and cremate the remaining children in order to destroy the evidence. When she attempts to kill Aimee, Charlie gets a hold of her gun and shoots her, much to her disbelief.
