The UNSUB is often symbolized as The Dragon in this work.
The Green River Killer is an unsolved crime that is symbolic of a fact of life in law
enforcement that "sometimes the dragon wins."
Fire-breathing dragon is the name of a metaphorical symbol that appears in a cartoon showing an evil dragon overcoming the good Knight. The caption on McCrary's cartoon states, "Sometimes the dragon wins" which is symptomatic of a continuing struggle the FBI and other law enforcement officials maintain in their battle with the evil behavior of criminals.
