Monica Kingston

Monica Kingston is a notable character who appeared in the Season Seven episode Hope.

Background
Sometime in 1996, Monica gave birth to a baby girl, which she named Hope. Eight years later, she and Hope stopped by at a gas station while on their way home, and Hope asked Monica if she can buy some candy, to which Monica didn't let her. Little did she notice that Hope had unknowingly caught the attention of a man named Bill Rogers, who tried offering Hope the same brand of candy she wanted, but she knew it was unwise to accept candy from strangers and refused. Monica and Hope then left the gas station, not noticing that Bill had begun stalking them at this point.

Days later, tragedy struck the Kingston family when Hope went missing while she was playing with her friend Heather Wilson. Becoming frantic, Monica immediately put all of her resources into finding Hope, but this consequently led to her mortgage taking a back seat. Not wanting to move far away from the home she raised Hope in, Monica moved into an apartment located near the house. Eventually, she became part of a victims' support group headed by Penelope Garcia, where she shared her tragic story to Garcia and other members. Recently, Bill became a part of the support group as part of his plan to stalk Monica, now that Hope had committed suicide prior, sharing to the group a story about Hope's suicide, but he covered it up, merely saying he had a pregnant wife who killed herself. All the while, Monica remained unaware of the truth.
