Biography[]
Lebrun worked as an arms trafficker for local gangs in the North Carolina foothills. Living in Falls River, he took in Voit, named Lee Duval back then, after Lee killed his parents in a fire he started and the courts order that placement. To subjugate Lee, Lebrun bear him, locked him in closets for days with nothing but meals slipped through the door, and killed animals to leave them around for Lee to find and be traumatized by. Lebrun would kill either for his enterprises or to rape women in his captivity, then murder them when he found the women liabilities. Lee was recruited as an accomplice shortly after he was moved to Lebrun's home, from disposing of remains to assisting in watching police investigations to cover their tracks, and all this exposure would warp Lee into growing into being a serial killer in his own respect when he became an adult. But while he was under Lebrun's influence, he tried to understand Lebrun's crimes and abuse by following crime publicity, including by reading books by FBI profiler David Rossi.
The latest woman Lebrun abducted, Maria Jones, pleaded to Lee for mercy, so Lee unlocked her chains and offered to release her. Maria still believed he would be dangerous to her despite his mercy, she grabbed a hunting knife and stabbed his shoulder when he turned his back. Attempting to kill Lee in hopes she would escape, Maria was stopped by Lebrun, who took the knife back and slashed her to death with it. Lebrun hit lee and said she should've killed him, furious from Lee's disobedience. Eventually, Lee was done and packed a Haberman suitcase to leave. Lebrun tried to stop him by murdering him as well, but Lee gained the upper hand was crushing Lebrun's throat with his arm. Lee didn't want to be like Lebrun, so he let him go, walked away, and never looked back. In the meantime. Lebrun framed a local gangster Maria knew, Silvio Herrera, for the crime, threatening Silvio's secret boyfriend and partner in crime Juan with his life if Silvio didn't falsely confess.
Silvio's approaching execution was coincidentally scheduled for three days after Voit bombed his storm shelter in Georgia he used as his hideout. The FBI took the case on when Voit's hideout turned up pictures of Maria, which Lebrun took when he stalked her before killing her. Silvio was uncooperative, so when the team found out he was protecting Juan, Juan provided photo evidence they were at a drag ball the night of Maria's kidnapping. Even with Silvio successfully exonerated and released, the team struggled to keep the case against Voit top priority, so this gave him just the right opportunity to confront Lebrun around the same time. He insulted Lebrun for taking his chances to be a better person, but Lebrun just bragged he couldn't walk away from blood. When he realized Voit was the killer on the news the FBI was tracking, he relished the realization. Voit then revealed he tampered with Lebrun's IV bag by poisoning his line with naproxen to disguise Lebrun's murder as kidney failure. Lebrun mustered Voit wouldn't escape his crimes forever and his life would be destroyed before Lebrun gave out from the overdose.
