[police siren wailing]

[narrator] Officers from six South Florida

police forces on a volunteer mission

to bring Christian Aguilar back to his family.

With any missing persons case,

with every day that goes forward,

the likelihood and the odds

just get less and less.

[man] The thing inside of me, it's like the appetite.

It's like a wolf that's feeling the hunger.

[reporter] Gainesville Police are now searching

several wooded areas.

Today, they're backed up by canine's cadaver dogs

and other special forces from Miami Dade to Miramar.

[Chriscelyn] Most of us, if we were asked,

"What do we think should happen

if somebody really hurt our friend?"

I think most of us would say,

"They should go to jail

or they should face consequences,

serious consequences."

It doesn't match with what he had said earlier

about his friend being important to him

and that is certainly a red flag.

[Kostas] "He was a good friend,"

Freudian slips, they come in many different forms.

I think he's thinking so quickly.

He's not thinking through what he's saying.

Perhaps Christian's no longer with us in this planet.

He's gone.

[Pedro speaking]

[Chriscelyn] He says it in a very sarcastic way,

almost as if it's impeding on his...

free time or his freedom and anytime

somebody mentions suicide, that's very sanely an issue.

It's a good opportunity to divert the attention away

from his missing friend.

He sees it as an opportunity to really derail

the conversation.

Two of the things that I find relevant

that she said is that he was, perhaps, lying.

And the other one is the presence

of behavioral manipulation.

[Chriscelyn] It is an affront to his ego

that she doesn't want him back.

But I think that he also wants

control of the situation

and he wants her when he wants her.

It's that classic, um, "I love you,

don't leave me,"

and this relationship instability that is sometimes

seen in individuals with psychopathic characteristics.

[ominous music playing]

[detective speaking]

- [Erika speaking] - [detective] Mmm-hmm.

[detective speaking]

[Erika speaking]

[Chriscelyn] To think that they had to keep

a relationship secret, perhaps she recognizes

that Pedro may not have a very healthy reaction

to this.

[Kostas] She gives indications

that she's afraid of him,

and when we are around individuals

who are psychopathic,

we have a visceral reaction,

like, "This doesn't feel right,"

um, and the argument is that we have that instinctually

to protect us from the predators

to prevent being killed.

[Pedro speaking]

[Chriscelyn] He's aware there is a video, you know,

and he wants to give the impression

that he's concerned.

It's rather dramatic and doesn't match

with the rest of his actions in this interview.

[Chriscelyn] You can see that he's visibly

getting more anxious because he's aware

that there's gonna be evidence on his cell phone

and his laptop that's going to be,

um, not good for him.

His writings and his pictures

suggest an obsession with this

relationship with Erika and his desire

to get her back.

[Kostas] T his is a snippet from Pedro's journals.

"I miss her, what's wrong with me?

I'm scared if she's okay but now I'm more scared

that someone will take her from me."

One of the things that it indicates

is that she potentially is a possessed object.

Psychopaths do see people as objects to be manipulated,

uh, influenced, uh, serving their own means.

Part of the reason they do that is because

psychopaths do not see people as humans.

They're just the means to an end.

[Chriscelyn] As I read through his writings,

"You slaughter innocent animals

for their hides and their flesh.

You devastate the landscape and you gouge the earth.

To build your monuments to vanity and yet

you call me the monster."

When he uses the word, monster,

that's how he perceives others are treating him.

He feels very devalued, very, um, you know,

hideous in her sight.

"I feel as if someone stabbed me in the chest

and was sorry all throughout as they just pressed deeper.

Then left me to die with the look of remorse

in letting me die."

He is positioning himself as a victim.

[detective] And he... And you...

[speaking]

[Kostas] Some of the feelings are coming to the surface

and he's kinda reliving the moment,

and more likely than not,

he's remembering the thoughts

of actually killing him

and disposing the body.

I think he's becoming physiologically aroused

as he's talking about his narrative.

[detective speaking]

[Chriscelyn] He's nodding almost as if in agreement.

I think that in this moment he's...

he is breaking down a little bit.

[officer] At this point Christian Aguilar

is still missing.

We don't have any information

on his location at this point.

[man] I told them we have to start thinking the worst.

There is something more evil about it.

The importance right now is finding my son.

[woman] Pedro Bravo has been charged

with first degree murder in the case of missing

University of Florida student Christian Aguilar,

Gainesville Police said Saturday.

The teen bought a shovel and a roll of duct tape

days before the student vanished.

Gainesville Police spokesman said the items

were bought by 18-year old Pedro Bravo several days

before the disappearance of Christian Aguilar.

[ominous music playing]

[Kostas] When you read his journals,

"A problem has occurred, you need an alibi.

He's afraid, maybe he senses it,

notices what my intentions are with him.

Now, I'm in a position of power."

For psychopathic individuals,

there's nothing better than inducing fear in others,

it's complete control and dominance over them.

There's gratification knowing that you have control

over someone's life.

[Kostas] One of the things that you see with psychopathic

individuals in general is that they are narcissistic.

There's clear trends of a narcissistic

character pathology.

With Pedro, he's not the victim.

It's all about him.
