This is an excellent interview on Senior Special Agent Bo Barton via Charleston Southern University Magazine. It may be slightly O/T, or completely on target, depending on whether or not he is directly assigned to the case. I stand by my previous post, in that he will likely be made available to whomever is the profiler to Heather's case, ad minimum.
He is a profiler, a Senior Special Agent, and a father (not necessarily in that order). All of these things play a role in how he solves cases.
That's why we are here.....

Criminal Mind: Bo Barton | CSU Magazine *From 2011*
(snip)
Bo Barton has two sons. His oldest son, 13, wants to be a street cop, chase the bad guys. His youngest, 10, wants to be a forensic anthropologist.
Do they want to follow in Dad’s criminal profiling footsteps?
“Uh, yea,” said Barton with hesitation.
“I would be extremely proud of my children if they followed in my footsteps, but I prefer they don’t. It’s dangerous work.”

“Whenever he comes up here, the forensic art department is where he wants to go,” said Barton.
“He doesn’t want to hang out with Daddy. He wants to go over to forensic art. He thinks facial reconstruction is the coolest thing ever....”

While the next generation of Bartons prepare for the inevitable work in law enforcement, Dad is working the two white boards hanging in the hall outside his office containing cold cases that go back as far as 1978, while others are fresh in history. The handwritten case descriptions are etched in red, listing the date of the homicide, victim, status and who in the unit is working the case.

If Heather's case turns out to be part of a larger dynamic, SLED has the personnel to help get to the bottom of it. The announcement that the Task Force has been working the case is welcome news for the Elvis' and the community at large. :twocents:
