GIDEON, HOTCHNER AND THEIR TEAM INTERVIEW HUSBAND AND WIFE SERIAL KILLERS AWAITING EXECUTION ON DEATH ROW, ON A REBROADCAST OF "CRIMINAL MINDS," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26

"Riding the Lightning" -- The FBI profilers interview husband and wife serial killers two days before they are set to be executed, on a rebroadcast of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, April 26 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Chris Long directed the episode from a script written by Simon Mirren. (Originally broadcast 1/25/06; previously scheduled for an earlier date)

As the interviews progress, Gideon begins to suspect that the wife may be innocent of the crimes committed. Racing against the clock, the team sets out to prove she was one of her husband's victims, rather than his partner in crime, before it is too late.
