The FBI profiler (who says her actual name is "not public information") is a chief agent with the FBI experienced in tracking down criminals, who came to Springfield during the search for the "SeatMiser." She makes her first and only appearance in "The Day of the Jack-up."
She was voiced by Paget Brewster.
History[]
When a ticket reseller called SeatMiser bought up all the seats for the Circulus and jacked up the prices, Mayor Quimby hired the FBI profiler to track them down and catch them. She shared with the residents of Springfield that she once hunted down violent serial killers, but they left for documentaries and podcasts. She mentioned that reselling tickets is illegal in some states, but since she wasn't sure what Springfield was, she planned to catch them and enforce the law against it in the state of Springfield.
On the day of the Kneesock Dolls concert, the profiler arranged for the FBI and the Springfield Police Department to handle security at the arena after figuring out the reseller would be there. Bart, who was actually SeatMiser, realized the entire arena was on lockdown and swiped a radio from Chief Wiggum so he could keep track of their activity. She was searching for a student from Springfield Elementary School and showed the officers where the marching band had begun.
The profiler bought tickets from SeatMiser allowed her to track Bart's phone location. After she kept buying tickets to track down his phone, Bart then abandoned his phone to drown in the toilet in the bathroom. However, she found his phone in the bathroom, which he had attempted to drown in the toilet sink, so it got working again with a bag of rice. The profiler had the kids line up in the arena to spot the right face and try unlocking the phone before heading out. When Bart was the last to attempt to unlock the phone with his face, she was shocked to find that the phone failed to recognize his face, leaving her frustrated that SeatMiser managed to get away after she managed to catch two perverts and a serial killer, she also throws away the phone into the bushes. Unknown to her, Bart had never used his face to unlock his phone but rather his butt, he would have been caught as the SeatMiser if he had used his face, she had already left by the time this was revealed.
