conference
table."
    Nadine
looked relieved.  "Sorry, Alex.  We just had to ask.  Protocol and
all."
    "I
know, Nadine.  No worries.  Please share."
    "Well,
this case is more complex than some.  It presents a little differently.  We
usually classify rapists into three categories.  The first category is the
anger rapist who uses physical brutality to express rage, contempt, and hatred
for his victim.  The attack is usually unplanned and the rapist is seldom
sexually aroused when he initiates the attack.  Anger rape is usually quick,
this wasn't.   The medical information suggests that Angie was raped more than
once.  Usually with an anger rapist, the assault is one of physical violence to
the whole body."
    Alex
was listening attentively and making notes on her legal pad.  "Yeah.  What
about the other categories? Do they better fit with what's happened to
Angie?"
    Nadine
continued, "Well, a power rapist initiates the attack to overcome feelings
of inadequacy and insecurity.  For them, to accomplish sexual intercourse is
evidence of personal conquest.  These attacks are planned and premeditated. 
There is usually no injury beyond the attack itself, although it may occur over
an extended duration of time.  Power rapists outnumber anger rapists two to
one.  Victims of power rapists have relatively minor injuries." Nadine
stopped for a moment as Alex held up her hand.
    "This
doesn't work.   Angie has extensive injuries.  It seems like her attacker has
attributes in both categories." Alex put her hands to her face.  "You
know, this stuff is sickening."
    Nadine
Wells nodded in agreement.  Jack Françoise suggested that Nadine describe the
third category of rapists.
    Nadine
sighed deeply as she continued.  "In contrast to anger and power rapists,
the third category is the sadistic rapist.  These rapists eroticize physical
force.  The rape may be long and involve torture, mutilation, or murder.  Often
times, this is the only way the rapist can achieve sexual satisfaction. 
Fortunately, this is the most uncommon type of rapist."
    "Not
for Angie Richlieu! Would you categorize her rape as one of a sadistic
rapist?" Alex's blue eyes, crackling with intensity, penetrated Nadine's
soft brown ones.
    Nadine
shook her head.  "No, probably not.  At least, he is not a pure sadistic
rapist.  Angie's rapist, at this point at least, seems to embody some of the
characteristics of both the anger and the sadistic rapist.  Certainly the perp
is sadistic.  He bit her, beat her, crushed her skull, and sliced up her face. 
But, he was angry.  I think our rapist is a cross between an anger rapist and a
sadistic rapist."
    Alex's
heart was pounding in her chest.  "Jack, what do you think? Do you agree
with Nadine?"
    "Nadine
is the expert.  I do agree with her.  I think the son of a bitch is angry.  I
think he was enraged, crazy, psychotic even."
    Alex
nodded, "Yeah, for sure.   Nadine do you think he meant to murder
her?"
    "No.  
At least, I don't think so.   If he had planned to murder her, he would have. 
He had the opportunity.  He simply wasn't motivated to kill her.  He wanted to
disfigure her, to scare her beyond belief!"
    Jack
grunted.  "That doesn't mean he won't come back and try to murder her,
especially if it is someone she could identify or recognize.  Bastard!"
    Alex
was anxious, "Oh my goodness, Jack, you don't think he will try to hurt
her while she is in CCMC recovering, do you?"
    Jack
shrugged his shoulders.  "Don't know for sure.  Possibly.  Nadine, do you
have an opinion?"
    Nadine's
voice was uncertain.  "I don't know, I just don't know.  This case is a
bit different.   He could.   Perhaps he thought she was dead or, at least,
would be by the time she was found.  It's hard to say.  There are so many
unknowns in Angie's case.   We need to be prepared in case he does,
Commander."
    Jack
nodded, "I'll take care of it."
    "My
Lord, what kind of profile do these rapists have? Is there a
