He moved 10 miles away, and never contacted his son. The Michaels incident had already started the rift, and as Diana's mental state continued to deteriorate, William left, refusing to take Spencer with him. When Reid was 10 years old, William abandoned the family. While Reid is interviewing Jenkins, demanding to know how his father was involved, his parents interrupt and confess to their son the whole story. Michaels' body is found, and DNA confirms his killer was Lou Jenkins, who is arrested. He pursues his father as a suspect, even after it becomes clear that Michaels is the more likely perpetrator. After undergoing hypnotherapy to recover his memories, Reid mistakenly believes he saw his father burning his own bloody clothes, not Diana's. BAU Supervisory Special Agents David Rossi ( Joe Mantegna) and Derek Morgan ( Shemar Moore) helped him investigate. Years later, Reid starts having nightmares about the incident, initially leading him to believe his own father was Riley's killer.
Jenkins avoided arrest because Michaels "disappeared", and as he had a criminal history as a sexual predator, the police didn't look very hard into the case. In order to protect his wife, William burned Diana's clothes, which Spencer inadvertently witnessed. When she approached him she slipped therefore getting blood on her clothes. Diana then followed Jenkins and witnessed him beat Michaels to death with a baseball bat. Diana told Lou Jenkins ( Brian Goodman), Riley's father, about the park incident. Shortly thereafter, Spencer's six-year-old neighbor, Riley Jenkins, was raped and murdered. Although Spencer was unharmed, Diana insisted the family move because she believed her son was in danger. Īt age four, Spencer was approached by pedophile Gary Michaels (Andrew Herlander) while playing chess at a local park. He also has Ph.D.s in Chemistry, Engineering, and Mathematics, obtained from Caltech. He holds B.A.s in Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy. He has an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and can read 20,000 words per minute. Reid and his mother have a very close relationship despite her condition. Diana has paranoid schizophrenia and went off her medication during her pregnancy with Spencer.
Spencer Reid was born on October 12, 1981, in Las Vegas to William Reid ( Taylor Nichols), a lawyer, and Diana Reid ( Jane Lynch), a former professor of 15th century literature.
