Carl Grimes

## Modus Operandi

Carl targeted Caucasian families with dark-haired fathers aged in their late 30s who worked successful jobs as businessmen, stalking and taking pictures of said fathers beforehand. Before attacking the targeted families, Carl would sneak in and hide somewhere in their homes, waiting for everyone to fall asleep. He would then seal all exits, turn off the water, douse the interior with kerosene, and light it with a candle lighter. In the case of the Dunleivy family, he attacked them during the daytime hours, trapping them in their car, dousing it with kerosene, and lighting the car on fire, killing the family in the subsequent explosion. He always wore a protective suit with an oxygen tank in order to be able to watch his victims burn. When he killed the Cutlers,

Carl targeted random homeless people, prostitutes, vagrants, and junkies. After being given his victims by Foster, who picked them up with a van using some simple ruse such as pretending to be a Social Services employee, Carl would torture them indirectly both mentally and physically by placing them inside the basement of his meat packing plant and giving them a few hours to find their way out, all the while watching them attempt to escape on a TV connected to the surveillance cameras inside the plant.

When Wheeler committed his last three arsons in Royal, he would set his fires in local gathering places, hoping that Jason would be in one of them. He primarily started them with gasoline and matches, though the bar fire was started with a Molotov cocktail since he was unfamiliar with the layout of the bar. To ensure his fires would cause the most fatalities, Carl would block or lock all the available exits, disable all fire suppression equipment in the building, and also start one or two smaller fires, meaning that no matter how fast the fire department respond, the victims would likely all be dead, usually from smoke inhalation caused by the main fire and the companion ones. He wore gloves to ensure he didn't leave behind fingerprints on the items, but he would take off one while lighting his matches using his thumb since his fingers were coarse enough. With his first two arsons in Royal, he set in in a convenience store and restaurant, both of which were empty at the time, presumably as practice runs for his later arsons.
