Avid fans of the CBS series "Criminal Minds" recently bid farewell to character Aaron "Hotch" Hotcher who was revealed to have entered the witness protection program with his son.                Upon learning that Mr. Scratch has targeted Hotch's son, the BAU chief decided to resign from his post and enter the said program.
