9 "Criminal Minds" Episodes That Are Based on Very Creepy True Stories

This fan-favorite episode from the fourth season features Luke Perry as Benjamin Cyrus, a cult leader who presides over a hostage situation that goes wrong when law enforcement attempt to raid the compound. Of course, this situation draws heavily from the infamous Waco siege of 1993, when the FBI attempted to take down the Branch Davidians under David Koresh in a raid gone wrong that ended with 76 members of the group dead, including Koresh himself.
