Matthew Gray Gubler: Dr. Spencer Reid

Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : There were no calls, but Ian's cell pinged off of three cell phone towers outside of town on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I sent you the locations

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Cell tower range and directionality can be dramatically influenced by atmospheric, electromagnetic and traffic capacity variations

  David Rossi : Meaning?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : A cell phone can travel to the same location but ping off of different towers on different days, due to independent outside variables.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Garcia, can you see what's at this intersection point? 39-30 latitude, negative 89-42 longitude.

  Penelope Garcia : Uh, that would be the old Little farm. And that's Little, not like diminutive, but Little family, that's where Ian grew up.

• Agent Tia Canning : Disrupted adoptions?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : That's what the people involved are calling it. They're also referring to it as re-homing. And it's been happening underground for some time now.

  Alex Blake : Until now, it's mainly been overwhelmed adoptive parents of problem children from overseas.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Good people go on site looking for guidance or services, but bad people offer to take problem kids off their hands as a last resort.

  Agent Tia Canning : So they just give them away to some random couple?

  Jennifer Jareau : Calling them couples is a bit generous. The article talks about these people who pose as families, but really they're just freaks looking for access to kids.

  Alex Blake : And no one's keeping track of them.

  Agent Tia Canning : Why isn't this illegal?

  Aaron Hotchner : Well, 'cause it's a relatively new practice, and unsurprisingly, no legislation's been written yet.
