==Summary==
Kurt Caldwell aka The Runaway Killer is the Main Antagonist of the Showtime special event series Dexter: New Blood.
The father of Matt Caldwell, Kurt was a prolific serial killer of runaway teenage girls, who lived a double life as the unofficial mayor of the small town of Iron Lake in upstate New York for 25 years. He owned several trucks and was the owner of the local truck stop and diner, where the runaway girls that later became his victims would frequently visit.
After realizing Matt was killed by Jim Lindsay (Dexter Morgan), Kurt began to target him and Harrison. By the time of his death at the hands of Dexter, Kurt had thirty women preserved and stored as trophies in an underground bunker. (Source)

*Killed 32 people and got away with his crimes despite being in a small town like Iron Lake
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
*The Kurt Caldwell Method: The first step of his plan is to approach the runaway, his targets. He tries to give off vibes of a kind man that simply wants to help them. When convinced, the next part is the second step which is to lure them to his cabin. Arrived, he imprisons the runaway for multiple days. And now the final step, he lets the runaway escape from the cabin but they are aimed with rifle by him. Having no way to survive, they die from a bullet fired by Kurt. Afterwards, he takes the bodies and portrays them as trophies in a bunker, close to that same cabin where the young ladies are kept at.
