George Kyle Peters is the main antagonist of the Criminal Minds episode "Rusty". George is a psychotic spree killer beheading fathers in Denver out of the paranoid delusion he'd bring his dead son back to life.
He's portrayed by Graham Sibley.
Biography[]
George had a lifelong alcoholism problem, but he still was hired as a physics teacher in high school and had a son named Ethan. he only gained custody of Ethan in a court battle when social worker Brenda Hacker took a bribe to bury his record. Five years into being responsible for Ethan, George killed him in a car crash that left him decapitated, before he himself spent months in a coma. Hacker called George and lied that instead of his likely drinking being the cause, black ice was to blame. After seven years of mental hospitalizations, George fully developed the belief he needed to rescue Ethan from a parallel universe, spurned by his grief and curricular major, with a sinister goat costume named "Rusty" haunting him as a fictitious inhabitant of the "dimension". In reality, it came from the doll Ethan was holding when he died. George ran amok in Denver and killed numerous fathers by hacking their heads off with an ax, sending messages and showing his crimes to video cameras in hopes they'd reach where he hoped Ethan would be. Each of the men's torsos were bruised with symbols from the Schrödinger equation, a physics equation involving the manipulation of physical matter, to reinforce his sanity's decline. Their heads would be brought to his favorite gold mine to go spelunking in with Ethan, where he believed "Rusty" offered the chance to see Ethan again.
Intermittent to seeing Hacker, George killed Manny Rodriguez, Isaac Wiley, Sean McAfee, and Dan Montgomery over a span of days. A man named Kevin Patterson saw George kill Dan, but George just muttered "I need to get back" and ran. George then hallucinated trying to use the axe and his bare fists to break into the "dimension" while "Rusty" watches him back at the gold mine. Increasingly desperate, George kills James Choi in front of his teenage kids, Colin and Emma, before carjacking them and screaming at them to drive to the mine while he sees "Rusty" behind them. As he left his tablet with a message for Ethan in his car, the team finally figures out who he is and get the location of the gold mine from hacker. George fights with the hallucination of "Rusty", and when Emma breaks free, he throws her into the wall and knocks her out. When he's about to kill Colin as a final "sacrifice", the agents barge in and stop him. Agent Emily Prentiss implores him to remember his son and his grief, finally telling him he's dead. When he sees "Rusty" take off the head of his costume, showing George himself before he disappears and revealing the visions were an extension of his own regret, George weeps and drops the ax before he's arrested. He's likely institutionalized due to his mental incompetence for trial.
Trivia[]
- George was inspired by two real-life spree killers:
- Itzel Nayelí García Montaño, a.k.a. "The Decapitator of Chimalhuacán", a Mexican spree killer with substance abuse problems who ran around her community in Mexico to stab random people in the backs of their necks, killing two of them.
- The late Herbert Mullin, an American serial/spree killer with paranoid delusions involving mutilating people to death for ritual sacrifice, whose murders grew more violent and grotesque as his psychiatric problems became worse.
- "Rusty" appears to be inspired by Frank the Rabbit, the menacing overarching figure of the classic film Donnie Darko, who follows the namesake main protagonist around to warn him about the world's end through time travel.
