Criminal Minds’ Most Disturbing Unsub Still Haunts Fans 20 Years Later

Frank Breitkopf first appeared in a particularly suspenseful episode of *Criminal Minds* during its second season. He returned in the season finale, concluding his storyline with a disturbing and personal attack on the BAU team, especially Jason Gideon. Breitkopf’s actions established a pattern for future *Criminal Minds* villains like George Foyet and Mr. Scratch, who also sought revenge against the agents who caught them. However, despite the impact and frightening nature of these later antagonists, Frank Breitkopf remained the most dangerous and unsettling of them all.
