Bill Rogers

"The moment I saw her, I knew what a beautiful woman she'd become."

William "Bill" Rogers was an abductor who appeared in Hope.

Background
Not much is revealed about Bill's early life other than that he claims never to have felt loved and that he had a fondness for butterflies. He was also attracted to teenage girls. Sometime prior to Hope, he attempted to kidnap a 14-year-old girl by luring her to his studio under the pretense that he would make her a model. When he started making sexual advances, she escaped. It's unspecified if he served any time in prison. In 2003, he became infatuated with a young girl named Hope Kingston, though she was too young for him at the time. After stalking her home for some time, he snatched her while she was playing hide-and-seek with a friend, Heather Wilson. He took her to his house and held her captive for eight years. In 2011, when Hope was a teenager, he began sexually abusing her. When she became pregnant with his child, she killed herself by slashing her wrists, writing "Why Me" on the wall. As part of a deluded plan to "recreate" Hope, he entered the same grief support group as her mother, Monica Kingston, and began stalking her as well. He talked about Hope's suicide, but said the one who killed herself was his pregnant wife. He also left a thank you-note on Heather's bike.

Modus Operandi
Bill abducted all his victims using ruses. After kidnapping Hope, he held her captive in a room on the top floor of his house, apparently only allowing her downstairs for meals and special occasions. During the first years, he had to keep her chained to a chair when she was in the kitchen. When she became a teenager, he began sexually abusing her.
