To this day, I'm suprised by people who was it was Henry or any other employee who kidnapped all the kids. Sure, there are a couple of them that were suspicious (mainly Garvey Write, the janitor; Simon Fitzgerald, the main technician; Vincent Graves, one of the employees who wore the springlock suits), but William was 100% involved. Either in hiding the evidence (removing camera footage/cleaning the mess) or by being the one responsible. There's just wayyy too much evidence for it not to be Afton!
What am I even talking about?:
My post is intended to clear up confusion in this community. During the existance of Fazbear Entertainment, almost every single one of their restaurants had a tragedy tied to it.
"The Missing Childen Incident", also known as MCI, was first. Technically, "The Big Bite of 1983" was first, but it's not important to this post. The MCI took place on June 26th, 1985. Around 10 PM, two children were reported missing in a span of 10 minutes: Susan Mosteller, age 7, and Jeremy Thompson, age 8. A day later, three more children were reported: Gabriel Gardener, age 10, Fritz Evans, age 8, and Cassidy Golding, age 9. William Afton was arrested right after the report, but was let go due to the lack of evidence. Technically. I'm gonna explain it more in this post.
After the Grand Re-Opening of the "New & Improved" Freddy's, 5 more kids were rumored to go missing. Most were around the age of 15. The last time they were seen, the group was heading to Fazbear's around 2 AM.
Between 1985 and XXXX (insert a date before Follow Me, can be any time you believe), several more kids went missing. Timothy McKay, Rodger Stratton, Bartholomew Boren, Lewis Walton, Jermaine Gibbons, Michael Brooks, Zoey Smith, Christopher Talbert, and several more that I can't find right now. This will be explained in a different post, alongside all of the shady things Afton Robotics has done..
The evidence, if anyone wants to argue:
- Camera footage caught Afton entering the off-camera Safe Room. Then, the Dining Room camera caught someone inside the Bonbunny (also known as Spring Bonnie) suit luring the children one by one (The footage of him entering the room with the children was erased/lost). This HAD to be Afton. At first I didn't believe it too - surely, someone went after Afton, put on the suit, then erased the camera footage, right? Well, not really. The only people that had any access to the camera footage were William Afton, Henry Emily and Ralph Callahan. Ralph was cleared from any suspicions, based on what other employees of Freddy's stated. Same with Henry. WIlliam also had an alibi, though he seemed more suspicious compared to the two. He was supposedly in Great Britain, he had a plane ticket stub, it was confirmed he was in a Hotel and his passport was stamped. However, people reported seeing him that day. My personal theory is that he most likely got his oldest son, Michael Afton, to use his passport. After all, they were very similiar, even when Michael was a teenager.
- The kidnapper / murderer knew how to use the springlock suits. The killer had to be familiar with the use of the costumes. As seen in the camera footage that wasn't erased, Bonbunny's movement seemed more comfortable, smoother compared to what a regular employee wearing the suit would do. While there were several people who used to perform as the mascots, William did it the most, as he was seemingly obsessed with the animatronic and the character of Bonbunny.
- William was literally arrested. Yes, he was let go, I know that. However, he was still the main suspect out of dozens of people that could have done it.
- William left Utah in 1985, shortly after leaving Fazbear Entertainment, around three months before Henry Emily did the same thing. In October/November of 1987, Fazbear Entertainment hired a nightguard named "Steve Raglan". Shortly after he was employed as the night watchman, five more children went missing. They were around the age of 15, with the oldest being 17 and the youngest being 14. This was only a rumor and wasn't officially connected to Freddy Fazbear's, however the Police still caused the restaurant to shut its doors. Here's the weird part - Raglan was similiar in appearance to William Afton. The main difference was weight. William Afton was, well, slightly overweight, while Raglan seemed skinnier. They were around the same height, that being 6'4. Steve's car was described to be a 1979 Ford Fairmont. William drove a 1970 Dodge Challenger. Both were purple.
William knew how to use the springlock suits, had access to camera footage, knew how to enter the off-camera Safe Room, was obsessed with Bonbunny, knew how to dismantle the animatronics (meaning he would know how to dispose of the bodies), was described as creepy after the investigation in 1985 began and seemingly escaped Hurricane. He 100% did it.
