A QUICK CHANGE ARTIST ON A KILLING SPREE TAKES GIDEON, HOTCHNER AND THEIR TEAM ON A WILD CHASE THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH, ON "CRIMINAL MINDS," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19

"Charm and Harm" -- Gideon, Hotchner and their team race to catch a serial killer on the run across the South, on CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, April 19 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Felix Alcala directed the episode from a script written by Debra J. Fisher and Erica Messer.

The serial killer changes his appearance like a chameleon in order to elude authorities and continue his killing spree. It is up to the Behavioral Analysis Unit to look beyond his multiple appearances and profile the man underneath in order to locate him before he takes his next victim.
