Background

Jack Toller had a rough childhood as his mother constantly berated him for making her life unbearable. He eventually developed a fascination with fire, seeing his mother light her cigarettes and went on to become a serial killer, killing three women and cremating their bodies. The bodies were never found, but one tooth which was used to convict Toller of the murders was left behind. He was sent to Miami West Prison from where he eventually escaped and later ran all the way over to Arizona. He was eventually tracked down by the CSIs, but had bribed the crew and pilots to travel to the Everglades.

Mayday

Toller gets on the plane with Horatio and Frank as they head back to Miami. However they notice that they are veering off course and in the process a gunfight ensues. He escaped after his accomplices were either killed or wounded after the emergency landing caused by the fighting. He pretends to be dead on the road until a soccer mom pulls up checks on him. Jack kills her and steals her vehicle. Toller goes to his old cellmate, Randy North, after he spoke to the CSIs, and he threatened to hurt Randy’s kids if he didn’t help him. Randy does as he is told and drops Toller off at a hotel downtown and left the car at a salvage yard. There he meets Marcel Largos to broker a deal for counterfeit bills, but Toller kills Marcel to cut out the middle man and his keyring without realizing that a Secret Service agent was watching the entire thing. He then kidnaps a young woman and they head to the airstrip where Jack finds Marcel's laptop and the information on the buyer. He attempts to use his hostage to broke the deal but the deal goes south after the cops arrive. Toller escapes and taunts the CSIs on their failure to catch him.

Countermeasures

He manages to find a another buyer in the form of a couple of ATM robbers. Things go slowly with the negotiations as he asks for a quarter mil which them see as too high. He eventually settles on $180,000 plus a young woman named Melanie. He drives off with his new hostage, only to have his car break down and sends her to get a burn phone and some supplies to fix the car. He then calls Randy to demand that he return a necklace Randy stole from him in prison. After Randy calls him back they meet at a train yard and Randy gives him the necklace while the cops try to catch him, but Jack gives them the slip again. He then goes to his original kill site, a landfill, and attempts to kill another victim before being stopped bt CSIs. He attempts to escape again, even throwing his money at them to buy him time. But this time he is caught and is returned to prison.

Modus Operandi

Jack's original MO, prior to his incarceration was to kidnap women and incinerate them alive wearing his mother's necklace. Before killing them he would have them shout at him that they were ashamed of him, making him flash back to his mother berating him and then lighting a cigarette. After his escape he uses various methods of killing like bludeoning and shooting but eventually returns to his original MO by attempting to kill another victim.
