CRIMINAL MINDS Season 9 - A Writer's Visit to the Set in Photos

24 weeks ago, which means at the end of the last filming season, DEA Academy graduate and former Captain in the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Merle Temple had the chance to visit the Criminal Minds set along with his wife Judy, while touring Hollywood presenting his fresh-from-the-press novel A Ghostly Shade of Pale.

And he shared his photos, and while we missed them then, a fellow Criminal Minds fan (@Hatsuan) has found them now and has passed us the info, thinking we all would enjoy a virtual visit with our favorite guys and girls.
