Profiler (1996)

Season 4: Episode 8

Rachel and Bailey respond to the growing list of isolated elderly men and women who are strangled while riding the rails in the Southwest, and Rachel notes cigarette burns that indicate the young killer (guest star Samuel Bliss Cooper) must have been a victim of abuse as well. While the slayer eyes his next targets, the VCTF theorizes that the dead must be surrogates for an angry drifter who feels rejected by society
