Cutter

Cutter was a serial killer and crossing guard who targeted customers of open house viewings. This was due to trauma from watching his aunt and uncle being murdered in front of him.
== History ==
Many years before the events of Wide Open, Cutter's aunt and uncle were tortured to death in front of him by an unknown killer. Cutter's mind was broken by this and he began his killing spree some time after this.
Cutter would hide in the homes and kill any occupants - sometimes leaving behind someone to watch as everyone else in the room was killed. He would also draw an X in blood somewhere in the house. Cutter gained the attention of the Millennium group after killing a couple in Seattle and leaving their daughter (Patricia) behind to relive the trauma of the event when questioned. Before this, Cutter killed at least 40 other people. This is due to him being linked to 40 open house viewings.
The day after killing Patricia's parents, Cutter mailed video of the murders to the estate agent of the open house. Cutter would then claim another victim before calling the police so that they could find the body. He would then place the murder weapon - a shotgun - into a dumpster and call the police. Frank Black and Bob Bletcher then held a sting operation on an open house and found Bletcher - who had been identified from his recording of the murders. Cutter managed to escape before being caught and fled into a nearby house. Cutter tied the occupants of the house up. Black entered into the house - leading to Cutter attacking him. Before Cutter could escape the house, the family's dog jumped him - leading to Cutter falling over a mezzazine and dying. (MM: Wide Open)
