The Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) is up for another mysterious case in "Criminal Minds" Season 14 Episode 12, titled "Hamelin." There will be a strange disappearance of kids in the city, and the team will do everything to solve this occurrence even if they have to start from scratch.
"The BAU team flies to Iowa to investigate the disappearance of three 10-year-old children who appear to have been abducted from their homes, with surveillance video from a park as their only lead to finding the children's whereabouts," "Criminal Minds" Season 14 Episode 12's official synopsis read. There is a mystery lying behind the kids' sudden disappearance. The new episode's title, "Hamelin," is said to be a nod to the legend of "Pied Piper" story.
According to CarterMatt, the idea of "Criminal Minds" Season 14 Episode 12's story certainly fits the "Pied Piper" legend. The children's disappearance, which seems to be gone without any resistance, may mean someone lured them to go somewhere.
In "Criminal Minds" Season 14 Episode 12 promo, the CBS narrator confirmed the episode's link to "Pied Piper" when he mentioned the tale's title. A group of children can be seen moving down a park, and then eventually lead to riding a white van.
Now, the big question is who is luring these kids to go to the park in "Criminal Minds" Season 14 Episode 12? The children look "zombified" when they are being called to go outside. Is someone controlling their mind?
New evidence suggests that these kids seem to be capable of thinking right when they are being dragged to go outside. One of them can move a barrier designed to stop them from moving.
A new theory proposes there is a connection between the UnSub and their young victims in "Criminal Minds" Season 14 Episode 12. There may be a logical reason why these children voluntarily go to the park without any proof that the UnSub forces them.
Meanwhile, aside from the mysterious kids' disappearance in "Criminal Minds" Season 12 Episode 14, fans will have the chance to see Jennifer "JJ" Jareau's (Andrea Joy Cook) mother. Viewers will now see her life outside her job.
Will the BAU team solve this mysterious case in "Criminal Minds" Season 12 Episode 14? Will they find out who's behind the kids' disappearance in "Hamelin" with only a surveillance video as a lead? Find out on Tuesday, January 9, at 10 p.m. on CBS.
