Olivia traveled by herself to the apartment
of Matthew and Ashley Schroder. When she arrived, CSU along with the ME's
office were already checking the crime scene and collecting evidence. Olivia
was pointed to the bedroom where the victims were. She proceeded to the bedroom
and found Warner examining the bodies.
"What have you got for me, Melinda?" she asked.
"Same story I had with the Knabs," Warner replied.
"Ashley was raped in the same three ways before being manually strangled
to death. Matthew was sodomized before suffering massive internal bleeding. It
has to be the same perps and there's no way it could be Dominic Knab since time
of death was about three hours ago, and you had him in custody."
"Okay, thanks, Melinda," Olivia said.
When Olivia returned to the station, she met with Fin and briefed
him on the events surrounding their case. They went to the interview room where
Dominic was still sitting.
"Good news, Dominic," Olivia said as they entered.
"We're not gonna finger you for your parents' murders. We have irrefutable
evidence that places you at a bar at the time of their deaths. We also have
three other victims to handle so we can't charge you for the murder."
"But before you get all excited about being let go, we're
still arresting your sorry ass for assaulting me," Fin added, picking
Dominic up and trying to lead him from the interview room to the holding area.
Dominic tried to put up a fight before Fin continued. "Do you really wanna
try and fight me? I can get you for a double assault if you keep trying to
escape."
Dominic stopped resisted and let Fin escort him to a holding cell.
While Dominic was being lead away, Olivia straightened up the interview room
before heading to Captain Cragen's office.
"Captain, we now have five victims under our belt. We are
going to have to work really hard to find something to get a suspect."
"Well, there's nothing more we can do tonight. Go home, Liv,
and get some sleep. Warner will have results for us tomorrow," Cragen
replied. Olivia nodded and headed home to her apartment.

The next day, Warner came into the squadroom to let the detectives
hear her findings from the attacks, as well as those found from CSU.
"CSU didn't find any prints at the Knabs's home," she
explained. "Nor was there any DNA at their home. However, I think you're
killers are becoming cocky."
"How so?" asked Munch.
"CSU found two sets of prints in the home that didn't belong
to either of the victims. One of the prints matched to a set found on the lamp
post used to sodomize Matthew so they likely belong to the one who attacked
him. I also found semen in the three places where Ashley was raped."
"Bastard let himself rest before he kept torturing her,"
Olivia said, disgusted.
"Exactly. Now, cause of death in all of the women has been
manual strangulation," Warner continued. "Both of the men have been
traumatized enough to cause internal bleeding, allowing for a slow but very
painful death. There are definitely two perps, but I can't really figure out
their relationship. Dr. Huang, what do you think?"
"The killers are obviously very close to each other,"
Huang explained. "They could be dating, married or may even be family
members. I think the killers are one male and one female. I'm guessing the man
rapes the women while the woman sodomizes the men enough to cause them to bleed
out. They are very violent people with a passion for sexual deaths. They could
find their own sex lives unappealing and take that out on other people together
in order to let their relationship approve. Bottom line, the killers are very
close to each other."
"Okay, we know the killers are close, but we don't know the
connection between the victims," Cragen said.
"Well," Olivia said. "All of the victims were
sexually assaulted before they died. Grace Bontz was home alone when she was
attacked but the Knabs and the Shroders were together at the time. Grace had a
boyfriend, but he was at work at the time of her death. It seems like the
killers wanted to have both members of the relationships to kill so they chose
to wait until both were together in the same room before they attacked."
Olivia paused for a moment before continuing. "I don't understand the connection
between them."
"I think I do," said a voice from behind all of them.
Cragen, Warner, Huang, Munch, Casey, Fin and Olivia all turned around to face
the speaker. When the saw who it was, they all let out gasps of shock. It was
Elliot Stabler.
