Special Agent Dana Scully

Case: 1X11/Fire

After reviewing the files of the Scotland Yard arson murders, two points remain 
unexplained: one is the use of an untraceable accelerant; the other involves the 
victims. Since they all burned in the presence of family members, in safe 
surroundings, this indicates unusually intimate access to the victims by the 
arsonist.

The arsonist is most likely a male, less than 25 years of age, he will often 
act out of impulse, satisfying sexual urges or insecurities with destructive 
behavior, which compensates for his social inadequacies or maladjustments. The 
arsonist is usually unmarried and prone to obsessive fantasies about women, or 
men, who are inaccessible to him. Often the setting of a fire results from his 
cowardice and inability to develop a natural relationship. His crimes are often 
very clever and elaborately planned. The suspicious nature of the fire last night 
strongly suggests the arsonist has followed Lord Marsden to the United States. 
A check of all immigration to the northeastern area is underway. It has become 
not a matter of if, but when he will strike.
