Megan Kane was a serial killer who appeared in Pleasure is my Business.
History
Megan was the daughter of Andrew Kane, a wealthy business executive who divorced his wife in 2000 due to his strangulation fetish and then refused to pay alimony or child support. She studied internationally She visited the call girl her father had hired, who intended to retire, and bought her client list in order to prevent anyone else from doing so. Eventually, she herself became a call girl and studied under a "madame" who taught her how to be a skilled call girl and then entered the business. At some point in her career, she snapped and started killing. Her first and second murders were largely covered up by the victims' lawyers and staff, who claimed that they died peacefully in their homes. Despite a lot of reluctance to help and share information from the staffs, the BAU were able to convince them to help by remarking that Megan knew their secrets. Around the same time, Megan, who had devolved as a serial killer, confronted her father and confessed to her murders.
Andrew suggested that Megan turn herself in, his lawyers post bail and they smuggle her out of the country. Megan was at first inclined to accept, but changed her mind when Andrew requested the client list, allegedly in order to hide it. Megan then handed him the cell phone she kept the information on and waited for her fate. Shortly before the BAU broke into the room she ingested poison through her drink. Hotch, whom she had developed a respect for due to his efforts to take care of his son despite his divorce, sat down next to her and offered to help her expose the men on her client list. She revealed that she removed the SIM card from her cell phone before giving it to her father. Giving it to Hotch, she said he was "the first man she'd met who didn't let her down" before dying. News headlines heard at the end of the episode revealed that Hotch covertly exposed the list, Andrew Kane resigned and he and the other men were presumably ruined.
Modus Operandi
Apart from 's murder, Megan would poison her victims with tetramethyleneddisulfotetramine (also called tetramine), a common rat poison. She targeted men who were like her father, wealthy business executives who divorced their wives and refused to pay alimony or child support even though they could afford it.
Profile
Megan was organized, intelligent and methodical. Being an experienced call girl, she was also talented at disguises and being discreet. Like many call girls and prostitutes she came from a broken home. Killing men similar to her father was her way to take out her anger towards him.
