In S2E9 an old case is mentioned where a 6 year old boy was abducted and they caught the guy but the child was killed. It's not a significant part of the episode, only mentioned. And nothing is shown.

This show is heavily weighted in favor of sympathy to the cops as the good guys, with unnecessary force and reasonable lawfulness sometimes brushed off in favor of drama or shenanigans. However, the main characters are painted as trying to be ethically solid. A major storyline surrounding a specific murder over multiple seasons has to do with corrupt police, as do several other smaller cases, and the cops in questions are dealt with and shown as Bad or at least having made Bad choices. Castle himself is kind of a cop fanboy, hence the entire premise of the show.

Some episodes involve a killer who is mentally ill, but more episodes involve profiling people as suspects who are mentally ill who end up being innocent and framed.
SPOILERS S04E09 - the killer has severe depression and delusions as a result of trauma suffered as a soldier.
