No Body No Crime

HE'S PLAYING GAMES. SHE'S PLAYING FOR KEEPS.
The convicted hitman known as the Snowman challenges BAU superstar Meredeth Connelly to a scavenger hunt where the prizes are all gruesome. She dislikes him the instant she lays eyes on him. He can't take his eyes off her. Something about him makes her uncomfortable, something about her makes him hostile. He looks too old to be one of Ankou's disciples. Is the case unrelated to Ankou's plan or is the Snowman someone Meredeth should know?
She has a thousand questions to which he always responds with dishonesty and another clue to another missing person's case. He's cold and unemotional. The bonfire of her fury grows with each new clue he drops.
A body in the forest
One buried in hot sand
Another, no life vest
Many more across the land
Is the Snowman telling the truth, or does he only want a day in the sunshine and free air?
