                    Profile of Frederick Donald Weiss

Dana Scully, M.D.


     When first presented with the Weiss case, I felt, as my partner did,
that the crimes to which Mr. Weiss has admitted were too vicious and
savage to have been committed by a human being.  However, the torn flesh
on the victims+ bodies contained human saliva, and the bite marks were
consistent only with that of apes and people. As hard as it was to
believe, a human being, the ruler of Earth, and supposedly the most
civilized of our world+s creatures, had resorted to violent cannibalism. 
After we were finally persuaded to believe that this man had, in fact,
eaten ten people alive, the mission of Agent Mulder and I became
discovering the motive behind Weiss+ killings, and what had led him to
that point.

     We suspected from the beginning that Weiss+ problem stemmed from an
unsatisfactory upbringing, or a traumatic experience suffered at an early
age.  What we found was beyond our strangest speculation.  Mr. Weiss was,
for all practical purposes, raised by animals.  He lived until the age of
five with his parents, Murray and Marjorie Weiss, at which time the two
were killed.  Under heavy questioning, Weiss reluctantly conceded the
details of his parents+ deaths.  The Weiss family had been vacationing in
the woods.  Weiss could not specify as to location.  His speech is poor
and limited, and he calls the place home, finding no other satisfactory
word.  Murray Weiss owned a secluded cabin, and the family planned on
spending a month there.  On the third night, however, the three were
outside eating dinner.  Frederick refused to eat his meal, and cried when
his father raised his voice.  Murray began to spank his son.  Suddenly, a
pack of wolves emerged from the bushes, and attacked Murray, along with
Marjorie.  Frederick watched his parents be ripped to shreds before his
very eyes, then turned and left with the pack.  He offers no logical
explanation for his acceptance into the pack, or the calmness with which
he joined them.  Weiss says only, -They know I am wolf.+

     Mr. Weiss apparently lived with the wolves for fifteen years, staying
with the same pack through generations of wolves.  He lost the capacity to
walk upright, moving on all fours until his back grew distortedly.  He
hunted with them, and served as protection from other animals who feared
man.  He was happy and wished to live his life without seeing any more
humans.

     Unfortunately for the victims, Weiss was found by a group of loggers
in the area.  The wolves fought to protect him, but the loggers fired guns
at the pack until they scattered.  The men captured Weiss, and debated
selling the story to news shows.  In the end, they felt guilty, and
decided instead to have Weiss live with one of them in his hometown of
Pennington, Nebraska.  Weiss was treated well during his stay with the
loggers, but they always locked the door, lest he should run off again.

  
     Weiss traveled to Pennington with the logger, a man by the name of
Avery.  His wife pitied Weiss, and tried to teach him to be civilized. 
She soon discovered that he could not stand up straight, and had him
fitted with a back brace.  She taught him table manners, correct grammar,
and Wheel of Fortune.  Weiss adored Mrs. Avery, and tried to comply to her
wishes to please her.

     However, his wild tendencies could not conceal themselves for long. 
Weiss bayed at full moons, whimpered when he wanted something, and ate
without using utensils, fingers, even teeth.  He would only eat meat, and
swallowed chunks whole.  The Avery family tried to help him and understand
his problems.  Then, one night, Mr. Avery came home intoxicated.  Mrs.
Avery scolded him.  He responded by slapping her across the face.  Weiss
became enraged, and threw himself on top of Avery, trying to bite his
neck.  Mrs. Avery found the shotgun, and managed to drive Weiss out into
the night.  It was at this time that the street killings began, the
devouring of homeless men and women alive.

  
     I do not believe that Weiss should be tried in a court of law.  While
these murders were wrong, vicious, and repulsive, they were the only way
Weiss knew to feed himself.  Weiss is not an evil murderer, but a product
of his environment.  However, he does fit the legal definition of
clinically insane.  He honestly does not believe that what he did was
wrong, thus cannot distinguish between right and wrong.  I suggest that
Mr. Weiss be institutionalized, with opportunities to be declared fit to
rejoin society.  Weiss must be taught the fundamental lessons which most
people learn early in life, and he must understand the difference between
human behavior and that of beasts.  I emphasize that Weiss should not be
used for studies, as he deserves the right to reclaim his status as a
human being.

     It is of my personal opinion that Mr. Weiss was better off in the
woods.  He has no one here who cares for him, no one to protect him and
provide for his well-being.  I think that Mr. Weiss should be returned to
his former place of dwelling, with apologies.  He should be where he can
be free, not in a padded room.  However, I know that the courts have
denied that request, and thus I suggest that Mr. Weiss be
institutionalized until he is fit to rejoin the human community, or to, in
a sane manner, decide to disown his race and rejoin his brothers.

                                                                           
          Respectfully Submitted,

               Dana K. Scully, M.D.
