Officers Kim Burgess and Sean Roman later catch Yates driving a car fleeing the scene of the fire and take him in, saying the car he is driving struck someone. Yates is cooperative with Detectives [[Erin Lindsay|Lindsay]] and [[Nick Amaro|Amaro]], giving them all of his information as they talk about his work records. All the while, he eyes Lindsay. When they start showing photos of the victims, he becomes suspicious and denies knowing them. Yates then leaves after he asks if he is under arrest and they say no. He greets Nadia Decotis on the way out. Yates then calls Lindsay and asks to meet her at a park, which she agrees to do. Before the meeting, he rapes and kills another woman. Afterwards, he sets up a remote incendiary device to be triggered while they are talking and goes to meet Lindsay. He approaches her and insists they walk and talk, which Lindsay reluctantly agrees to. Yates starts talking about the revolution in Egypt and brings up the law of unintended consequences. He then leaves Lindsay as they get the call. After leading them on a wild goose chase, he approaches Nadia as she is getting a cake for Lindsay's birthday. He greets her again, then knocks her out with a tire iron and forces her into the back of Lindsay's car, which Nadia had been using. ([[Chicago P.D.|P.D.]]: "The Number of Rats")

==First Spree and Trial==
==First Spree and Trial==
Yates proceeds to take Nadia on a road trip all the way back to New York City, wrapping her in green plastic and swapping the car's license plates at a rest stop in Elkhart, Indiana. As he drives, he taunts Nadia by singing along to music on the road at full volume. Then, Yates stops at a gas station in Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania, and buys supplies and more green nail polish. While paying for them, he spots a mother and her baby, and helps her with her items. He then watches both of them as they leave. Upon leaving the store, he is approached by a trucker who tells him about something moving around in the backseat, unaware that it is Nadia. Yates jokes that he kidnapped a girl who is resisting violently, then claims that it is his dog. Once the man walks away, he gets into the car, unwraps Nadia, and threatens to knock her out again if she continues resisting. When Nadia begs to be released and promises not to tell anyone that he was responsible, Yates replies that she missed her chance at doing that and tells her about the trucker, claiming he is still nearby. Nadia promptly screams, but Yates cranks the radio volume up again and tauntingly tells her that she should tell him something about herself, as they have a long drive ahead of them.

Later on, as Yates makes another stop in Plainfield, New Jersey, he tells Nadia that they will arrive at New York soon. She tells him that she will not cave in to him and that Sergeant [[Hank Voight]] will make him regret killing her in the first place before spitting in his face, but Yates is not deterred. When they arrive at New York, he forces her to change cars while she leaves her scarf in the old car. He then rapes, tortures, and murders Nadia and buries her in his burial ground. Afterwards, he charms his way into an apartment, where he rapes a pair of roommates and bludgeons both of them, killing one and putting the other in a coma. Yates is then tracked down to Susie's house, sometime after he proposed to her; as he is arrested, Voight demands to know where Nadia is, but Yates denies knowing what he is talking about. In interrogation, he claims that he visted the Chicago precinct but found only Nadia, who offered to give him a ride to New York. He then frustrates Detective Jay Halstead by claiming Nadia looked up to him and wanted to escape. He then briefly hints at what he did to Nadia, wording his statements as rhetorical guesses and subtly taunting Voight.

With Susie's unknowing help, they eventually find his burial ground and charge Yates for the rape, sodomy, and murder in the first degree (concerning Nadia, their strongest case). With Judge [[Elana Barth]]'s approval, Yates represents himself with Attorney Crane as his co-counsel during the trial. He puts on a defense to create reasonable doubt through Nadia's past as a drug-addicted prostitute, as well as previous suspicion on another suspect, Halstead's brother Will and his claims that the Chicago Police Department was abusing her. However, during his testimony, he begins to visibly revel in his manipulation of the court and go off-topic in his responses to questions. Realizing that he is getting off on it, A.D.A. [[Rafael Barba]] decides to trick Yates into revealing his true nature to the jury by exposing him to autopsy photos of Nadia during the trial. This prompts Yates to have M.E. [[Melinda Warner]] explain the full extent of the injuries Nadia suffered, simply relishing in the descriptions rather than making an attempt to create reasonable doubt. He is subsequently convicted of all charges, and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in Green Haven Correctional Facility. Before sentencing, while Yates is washing up, he is confronted by Voight, who strangles him for a moment. Then, he releases him and tells Yates that if he lowers his guard in prison, someone will do to him what he did to Nadia. ({{SVU}}: "[[Daydream Believer]]")

The next day, he walks in during a prison group therapy session held by [[Bronwyn Freed-Wilkins]] and intimidates [[Jose Silva]] into allowing him to be partnered with Rudnick, who is also a member. The two talk about trays of lasagna Freed brought in, and Yates implies that he knows Freed has been smuggling tools to Rudnick. Later on, Rollins and Detective [[Dominick Carisi, Jr.|Carisi]] arrive at Green Haven to interrogate him. Yates tries to ask Rollins if she is breastfeeding, but is quickly shot down by Carisi. Rollins then shows him a photo of a victim, and he shares details of her murder under the guise of speaking hypothetically. He then offers to share more details under the condition that he be transferred to the facility's honor block. Believing it to be a ploy so Yates could kill Rudnick in revenge for killing Susie, the SVU tries to turn down the deal, but it is unsuccessful. During his transfer, Yates passes Rudnick's cell, sees his tray of lasagna, and touches upon their previous conversation, calling Freed a miracle worker. He then warns him that he will be there when Rudnick's miracle occurs, unsettling Rudnick.

Later on, Benson, Barba, and Sergeant [[Mike Dodds]] arrive at Green Haven to visit Yates, just as drones suddenly appear and orchestrate a small prison riot. At the same time, Rudnick finishes creating a hole in the wall of his cell with the tools he got from Freed, and takes Yates with him. They both crawl through a pipe leading out of the prison, where Yates kills two electrical workers who assisted Rudnick, then leaves behind a taunting note for the SVU to find. The two then rendezvous with Freed, who drives them over to her house and provides them with weapons. Afterwards, Yates gags her, stuffs her in the trunk of her car, and tells Rudnick to kill her. Unbeknownst to him, Rudnick doesn't do and merely fakes her death.

The two make their way to Gloversville, New York, where they hide out in a house abandoned for the winter. They are found by a state trooper, but Yates manages to rape and kill her. He then attacks Rudnick and leaves him to die, but Rudnick is rescued by the SVU. Meanwhile, Yates kills another state trooper and uses his body to lure in Lindsay and Sergeant [[Mike Dodds]], both of whom he shoots at with the trooper's stolen gun. He then flees to a cabin, where he carjacks a man, kills him, and leaves a taunting note for Lindsay, telling her he will be seeing her back home. ({{SVU}}: "[[Nationwide Manhunt]]")

Yates traveled state to state, carjacking people along the way, and eventually arrived back to Chicago, where he began to look for his sister, Nellie Carr. During this time, he started using the spyware on Lindsay's phone to keep tabs on the investigation. Yates arrives at an apartment complex, finds the apartment his sister owns, and knocks on the door. He charms his way into the apartment and brutally kills all of Nellie's roommates who were nurses, searching for her. When he didn't find her, Yates goes to her job and asks a couple of students where she was. They inform him she was covering class and was headed to the parking lot. While he waits, he calls Lindsay by spoofing her mother's phone number, but she ignores it. When Yates finds Nellie, he kidnaps her, leaving another note taunting Lindsay and revealing that he knew she was at the station. He starts interrogating Nellie about her past and keeps mentioning how everyone needs a home.

When Lindsay arrives, Yates has his father in a chair, perched over an edge, with a noose around his neck. When Lindsay tries to call for help, Yates forces her to hang up her phone and holster her gun. He then instructs her to sit down, gives her a full confession of all his crimes, and starts taunting her over Nadia's murder and their similarities. After Yates is done, he pushes Michael over the edge, hanging him. He then grabs an ice pick and starts moving toward Lindsay, taunting her that she will be the one to kill him.
