Skinny ones take drugs... they taste funny.

Floyd Feylinn Ferell is a major antagonist in Criminal Minds, serving as the main antagonist of the episodes "Lucky" and "Lucky Strikes". He is a cannibalistic serial killer who attempts to frame his crimes on Satanists.

He is portrayed by Jamie Kennedy, who also portrayed Franklin King in The Cleveland Show.

Biography[]

Early life[]

In 1977, seven-year-old Ferell was institutionalized at the Hazelwood Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Bridgewater, Florida after he attacked his nine-month-old sister and ate a piece of her flesh. He told psychiatrists that he was possessed by a flesh-eating demon, so they put him on antipsychotics and treated him with art therapy; he responded most to Francisco Goya's "Black Paintings", particularly Saturn Devouring His Son.

Ferell was released from the institution at the age of 18, against the advice of doctors who still considered him a threat to others. He stopped taking his medication and opened a barbecue restaurant - and began killing prostitutes so he could make recipes out of them. He left Satanic symbols such as pentagrams at the scenes of his crimes.

"Lucky"[]

After local police find the remains of Ferell's latest victim, Abby Kelton, they call in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) to investigate. They find that the killer forced Kelton to eat 10 human fingers belonging to missing prostitutes, and theorize that they are looking for a sadistic serial killer who is using Satanism to justify his bloodlust.

Ferell kidnaps Tracey Lambert from a rest stop. When the BAU organizes a group of volunteers to help search for her, he also kidnaps one of the volunteers, Sheryl Timmons. He is pulled over for speeding while transporting Timmons to his torture site, but, ironically, the police officer is called away to look for her before he can search the car.

While investigating the kidnapping site, BAU Supervisory Agent David Rossi finds a few books neatly stacked in the stall next to the one from which Lambert was taken. From this, he deduces that the killer had been institutionalized; by organizing the books, he is trying to recreate the sense of order that was enforced upon him during his institutionalization. Later, BAU Agent Derek Morgan discovers the body of one of Feylinn's victims, Maria Lopez, in a local church. He learns that she had been kept for nine months and frozen before being murdered, which leads him and Agent Aaron Hotchner to realize that the killer is eating his victims.

Hotchner and Agent Spencer Reid go to Hazelwood to find records of cannibalistic patients, but are told that the hospitals records had been destroyed in a fire, save Ferell's file, which his personal psychiatrist had died trying to preserve. After checking with local law enforcement, the BAU bursts into Ferell's house, where they find several frozen corpses and a still-alive Sheryl Timmons. They arrest Ferell, who refuses to talk to anyone but his priest, Father Marks. During the interrogation, Ferell taunts Marks by revealing that he had fed the search volunteers with a chili recipe he had made from Lambert's body. Rossi theorizes that Ferell had fed his victims to others to make them as guilty as he was. Ferell is then once again institutionalized in Hazelwood.

"Lucky Strikes"[]

Ten years after Ferell is institutionalised, the BAU are called to investigate the murder of Rebecca Strong, a woman killed in a manner identical to Ferell's victims, up to and including details not released to the public such as being force-fed five fingers. They suspect that Ferell may have found a way to keep killing. Meanwhile, Ferell eerily tells an orderly that he's "already full" when brought his dinner.

The BAU find that Ferell was granted supervised home release at weekends several weeks before Rebecca's murder and is living with his girlfriend Lori and her son Jody. His lawyer Billie Williams petitions for the dismissal of all charges and his unconditional release on the grounds that Rebecca Strong's murder proves he was manipulated and framed by the real killer.

Reid and Agents Matthew Simmons and Luke Alvez go to surveil Ferell. It is revealed that Ferell has a Satanic shrine resembling the one he had before he was apprehended. The next day they interview Ferell, who asks about Morgan (who has left the BAU) and leaves to go to church, followed by Simmons. Reid and Alvez search Ferell's room and find his shrine. Ferell is confronted by Lee-Ann Kelton, Abby Kelton's mother, who calls him "the Devil". Simmons defuses the situation and brings Ferell in for an interview.

Ferell denies committing any murder, claiming that the real killer took advantage of his mental illness to manipulate him and he maintains his shrine to keep his dark side in check. He also claims that his "friend" told him to abduct Sheryl Timmons and the extent of his actions was taking her to a warehouse and rubbing oil on her legs. Sheryl corroborates his story, leading the BAU to suspect Ferell was telling the truth.

The BAU locate the warehouse and find the body of Evonne Westfield, another woman killed using Ferell's MO and the woman whose fingers were fed to Rebecca Strong. They realize she disappeared at a time when Ferell was in Hazelwood, confirming that a second killer exists. However, they also find that Westfield was not force-fed another victim's fingers, suggesting she was the killer's first victim. The BAU deduce that this killer was likely not active 10 years before and Ferell is the one with a patsy.

Marcus Manning, Westfield's brother, is deemed the most likely suspect based on his closeness to Westfield and vulnerability to manipulation. Simmons recognises Manning from the church; he was sitting next to Ferell with a paper bag in between them. Simmons realizes that the bag contained Westfield's five fingers that weren't force-fed to Rebecca Strong. Meanwhile, Manning abducts Lee-Ann as retaliation for the incident at the church. When confronted by the BAU, he confesses to all Ferell's crimes and commits suicide, leaving the BAU with seemingly no way to prove that Ferell is guilty.

At his hearing, Ferell is declared fit to be released over Rossi's objections and handed his release papers. However, just before he leaves Rossi is handed an envelope and serves Ferell with a search warrant to search for Westfield's remaining five fingers. Ferell smugly tells him that he won't find anything in his house or room, but Rossi tells him that isn't what the warrant is for: it's to conduct an X-ray of his digestive tract, where they will find Westfield's five fingers, which were eaten by Ferell. He also tells Ferell that, now that he has been declared sane, he can be charged with both Manning's crimes and his own. Ferell becomes enraged and attempts to attack Rossi before being restrained, handcuffed, and led away.

Trivia[]

    • Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, a child molester and suspected serial killer who had a "cookbook" with entries about cannibalism found in his possession.
    • Carl Großmann, a.k.a. "The Berlin Butcher", a German serial killer of female prostitutes who ate and sold his victims' remains.
    • Dennis Nilsen, a.k.a. “The Kindly Killer”, a Scottish serial killer of boys and men and a necrophile inspired by the painting The Raft of the Medusa for his ritualistic murders.
    • Edmund Kemper, a.k.a. "The Co-Ed Killer", a serial killer of women and girls who was institutionalized as a teenager, dismembered and retained remains of women he killed, and taunted authorities as his spree escalated.
    • Tony Costa, a.k.a. “The Cape Cod Vampire”, a serial killer who was once pulled over for a minor traffic violation, then released, reportedly with someone alive in the trunk of the car.
    • Robert Pickton, a.k.a. “The Pig Farm Killer”, a Canadian serial killer of female prostitutes who fed his victims' remains to pigs at his farm, and reportedly made chili out of them which he fed to police as they conducted searches.
